FIGHT PROMOTER TALKS.
Says johnson Is Trying TO InJure
LangfOrd's Reputation.

New York, Jan. 30-Regarding Jack
Johnson's charge that the Ketchell-Lang-
ford match, which was prevented by the
authorities here last fall. was a frame
up, William Gibson. president Of the
Fairmont Athletic Club, said to-day;
'As far as LangfOrd was concerned,
am sure that he was sincere, and that he
intended TO hght on the level, but have
since learned that KetcheH never had an
idea OF entering the ring.
Johnson IS sore on Langford. He re-
fused an offer OF $500 to box Langford
six rounds before the Fairmont Athletic
Club right after his bout with O'Brien in
Philadelphia. It was a clear case of
fear. and as Langford has been bounding
Johnson ever since, the big champion
evidently wants to injuTe the Boston
mans ring reputation by accusing him
of agreeing TO a. frame-up. But Lang
ford has always been on the square, in
my opinion and is not deserving Of any
criticism that may reflect upon his hon
esty."
