takes lifetime.
He will leave today or tomorrow for cul-
berson, Mont, to attend to some business
! affairs and will take a slxty-day rest before
asking for further engagements but he ex-
| hibted certified checks amounting TO $1,000
which he says he will post as a side bet
with Al Kaufman or Tommy Burns for a
fight after July 1. He says that he believes
he has 1t on these fighters and intends to
make them do business with him when he has
had his rest. Sandy Ferguson Al Kubick and
all others who want his game will be welcome
to try 1t on II they can make a financial
noise loud enough to make it interesting to
him.
Barry blames himself In a large degree for
the knockout. saying that he forgot his care
ful plans for a defensive battle until after
Iangford had himself down TO a basis
Of pugiliistlc equality. but he believes that
no partook Of stlmulants too literally in the
eighth round and that instead of reaping any
beneficial effects therefrom they had the con-
trary effect, causing him to become careless
and digress from his plan OF battle. How
ever, he was not in an excuse making mood
last evening and did not talk as II his de-
feat would have any lasting effect upon
him. Later on he will ask for another chance
at Langford, but not before next winter.
CAMERON AFTER LANGFORD
That was no bluff that Jim Cameron and
his manager, Jim Gaines, offered Thursday
afternoon when they Haunted a $500 check
before the fans as evidence Of good faith
in the challenge to the winner of the Barry
Langford scrap. Gaines authorizes the state
ment that the money is waiting acceptance
and that he believes Cameron will be able to
whip Langord because Of his extraordinary
height, weight and reach and the fact that
Cameron has improved so much in the last
three months that he hardly would be recog-
nized as the awkward, green hand that
fought so frequently in farce comedy bouts
at Maud.
Cameron has won his last eight fights,
scoring six knockouts, and he is training
every day In private gymnasium fitted up
for him by Gaines, and has competent lin-
structors TO tell him what to do with his
hands when they are gloved. Many a fighter
has become famous after travelling a much
rockier road than that of Cameron, and
some interest would attach to a match be-
tween himself and Langford because Cam
eron is about eighteen inches taller, fifty
pounds heavier and has the longest reach in
the world.
