The last are the ones who are well 70 do

appointing.
In the fifth round Kaufman drove
Lang to the ropes and had him in

arc lights suspended from the top of
the grandstand. Seated about the ring
and in the boxes were sporting men
from all sections of the country. The
principals reached the city early in
the afternoon. Kaufman from Allen
hurst. N. j.. and Lang from Stratford,
Conn, their respective training quar-
ters. Both men were in the pink of
condition and did not appear to carry
an ounce OF superhuous flesh. Kauf-
man looked to be at least twenty
pounds heavier than the Australian.
The fight was at catch weights and
for a percentage of the receipts. 1t was
the second time in the history of pugil-
ism in this city that an open bout had
been attempted, Jack OBrien and Bob
Fitzsimmons having met on the same
grounds in an afternoon a few years
ago.
Seated in a box close to the rins
was Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian
fight promoter, and his wife. Former
Champion James J, Corbett occupied
a chair in the same box.
Kaufman had in his corner as chief
adviser Billy Delaney, probably one of
the greatest seconds in the country
while Kid Mccoy looked after Lang.
