LANGFORD SEEKS
A RETURN MATCH
Black Demon Sore and Believes
He Was Robbed; Flynn
After kefChef
[Special Dispateh to The COLL


Los ANGELES. Feb. 9.-Following g
the remarkable showing made by Jim
Flynn against Sam Langford at Nc
Carey's pavilion last night the air to-
day is full of challenges Langford is
sore, believes he won and wants an
other chance at Flynn over any route.
Flynn is out after Ketchel and chal-
lenges the erstwhile Montana cyclone
to a bout, either 10 rounds or 45, win
ner take all, and side bet to boot.
Jim Barry is after either Flynn or
Langford and probably will be put on
with the former at 40 rounds March
II at Jeffries Vernon arena. Fight fol-
lowers and pugf1istic experts are di-
vided in the decision. The third morn
ing paper gave ii to Langford and an
evening sporting extra calls it draw.
Joe Woodman, Langfords manager, de-
Clares his man was robbed of the de-
cision and threatens to never allow
him to fight a gain in Los Angeles.
Undoubtedly Flynn made a better
showing than was expected even by
his friends. He made his good show
ing by keeping right on top of Lang
ford all the time, and the black ter
ror could not open up the fireman's 5
defense to land a knockout. Both men
fouled SO repeatedly by buttfnG each
other in the face that many fight fol-
lowers declared both should have been
disqualified and the match stopped.

SONOMA COUNTY EXPECTS
BIG HARVESTS THIS YEAR
Every Condition Favorable for
the Most BOuntiful Crops
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SANTA ROSA. Feb. AL fndica-
tions point to one of the best crop sea
sons in the history of Sonoma county.
Not in many years has there been such
an evenly distributed rainfall as dur
ing this winter to date The first
rains came early and gave progressive
farmers and ranchers opportunity for
early plowing and seeding. Through.
out the winter there have been fire.
quent rainfalls of sufficient quantity to
keep the ground soaked.
For the first time in many years the
rain has been so distributed that there
has not been any high water in streams
and overfowed lands anywhere in the
county The weather has also been
just cool enough to hold the growth of
vines and trees back so that they are
all in excellent condition for the spring
growth.
The hop growers declare that roots
never before came through the season
in such fine condition and a bumper
crop is looked for this year.
Vineyardists are now in the midst
of trimming and all unite in the state
ment that the vines have wintered in
ma gnifcent condition.
The fruit industry appears to be az
its best this year. Large quantities of
new apples are being set out in the
Gold ridge section about Sebastopol.
while all over the county new trees of
various kinds are being put out
