JEANETTE OUTClASSEO

Boston, Sept when Referee Char
lie White declared Sam Langford the
winner over Joe Jeanette in their fif-
teen round bout at the Armory A. A
last night most of the fans figured that
it. meant the elimination of Jeanette
from the list of contenders for the
crown held by Jack Johnson.
Both were bit slow in starting in
the first session. but after that round
the boxing was about the fastest that
has been displayed Inv this section for
a long time
1t was Langford's lefts to the jaw
and stomach and his rights to the jaw
that made Jeanette look weary many
times. Sam did some good countering
and got inside OF many stin lefts that
did not use his right uppercut a great
deal, but when he did, he would land
on Jeanettes chin with such force that
Jeanette's head would go back. The
latter did a great deal of his scoring
with left jab to the mouth and nose
and a right on the kidneys and stom-
ach.
A few times during the contest II
looked as If Langford would make the
result a decisive one but Jeanette's
wonderful recuperative powers stood
him in good stead and he came back

o. punch.

ALL STAR TOUR may
RESULT IN LEAGUE

1t has been common gossip in base
ball circles the past few days that the
Cincinnati promoters of the proposed
fall series between the star players
from the National and American league
had intended to spring forth with new
league during the winter and fight or
ganized baseball.
Since the decision of the National
commission in Cincinnati last week pro-
hitting the players to compete in the
tour which was headed by d. A Fletch
er, wealthy sportsman of Cincinnati,
talk has been very quiet, but during the
past forty-eight hours 1t became known
that the Cincinnatians were secretly
getting together enough stars from the
major leagues to form a four-clu5 ri
val organization.
The report has 1t that the players
have been offered a bonus of from s5,-
600 to $4,000 and FIVE year contracts
calling for $1,000 per season. The back
ers of the fall tour do not take kindly
to the National commissions decision
and this is said to have been the start
of organizing the outlaw league.
The hackers of this new league are
said to have 100000 to go through
with their end. Ball players love the
sight of money and If guaranteed the
amounts offered there Is little doubt
that the players will desert their pres
ent employers and side with the new
| people.
| When the American league declared
war" and fought the National league a
| decade ago they flashed hundreds and
| thousands of dollars in the faces of the
players they were after. And each one
1 that was wanted was secured. And
this is the way Fletchers contingent is
going after the players now.
There is plenty of room for another
big league. The towns proposed fol
the four-club circuit are Chicago, New
| York. Cincinnati and Pittsburg or st
Louis. 1t is the plan of the promoter.
to start with four clubs, made up of tn,
4 best men n the National and Ameri
can leagues, and then expand to al
eight-club organization. Many of tn
n stars of the big leagues already hav
been approached and are considering
the propositions of the new baseball
impresarios.
It is claimed that the Cincinnati pro
moters of the proposed fall series be
!, tween the star players of the Nationa
J and American leagues. intended to de
fly the recent ruling of the Nationa
. commission, which prohibits its player
from competing for outsiders. The Gin
cinnatians declare that they will full
! fill their part of the contracts and hav
notified the players signed to be read
| to report in Cincinnati on either DC
; % or 20.

CLAbby NOW
CHAMPION OF
HIS CLASS

Jimmy Clabby. the Hammond fighter,
is practically the undisputed welter-
weight champion of America now, ow-
ing to his victory over Guy Buckles of
Omaha at Sheridan, Wyo. last Mon
dav
The go with Buckles was a thirteen
round affair which ended with Buckles
manager throwing the sponge into the
ring. The battle was fought before
the Sheridan Athletic club and carried
with it a purse of $4,000 and Clabby' 5
friends claim that the victory carries
with it the welterweight championship.
Clabby is booked to start at once
with Hugh Mcintosh and his retinue OF
stars for Australia, and If these plans
are carried out he will undou BIT eddy
be engaged in some good battles in the
antipodes.
Clabby in his short and brilliant ca
reer has fought in the neighborhood
of eighty battles and only a very few
of these he lost a decision and not
one on a knockout.
From the beginning he was one oil
the most prominent lightweight fight
ers on the horizon, and his friends say
that all he has to do now is to retair
the place that he has earned for him
self by his consistent good work.
