Sam Langford Is Now
Johnson's Only Rival

NEW YORK. Aug. 16-That Sam
Langford is the one man in the world
today who would have chance against
opinion here following the negro's de-
feat Of "ConfessOr Jack" O'Brien at the
Twentieth Century Club.
Had Langford and his manager, Joe
Woodman, so willed II, O'Brien would
probably have been put out in the first
round. But Sam evidently believed that
the big crowd which paid top-notch
to run for its money. and he did not
put much steam behind his blows until
the fourth round.
Langford tried out O'B1en at the
start; discovered he had no steam and
deliberately toyed with him. In the
third, Sam rocked the QuakertOwn rep
resentative with a body punch which
lifted O'Brien clear off his feet. From
then on until Charlie White stop
ped the bout, in the early part of the
fifth, Langford whaled O'Brien as he
pleased.
The end came after about a minutes s
work in the fifth round. Bleeding, weak,
and groCgy, OBrien came up for the
inevitable He tried to evade Lang
ford, but in vain. Sam bored in. He
put a light left on the head and as
O'Brien tried to lead the right, he fash
ed in with a terrific smashing left on
the chin. Down crashed O'Brien and
he rolled partly through the ropes. He
tried to crawl back and when, at the
count of nine he rose, Charlie White,
the referee, stopped the tnequal baltic
and sent Langford to his corner.

youngsters, some of them formerly with
the Superbas. have been grabbed up

BIG MIDDLE STATES
REGATTA TO Be ON
SEPTEMBER FOURTH
Patapsco River Will Be
Scene of Twenty-second
Annual Event.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 16-The Middle
States Regatta Association will hold
its twenty-second annual regatta on
the Patapsco river September 4. The
association was first composed of the
clubs situated in the middle Atlantic
States, but the boundaries now in
clude the District of Columbia and
Virginia. The Middle States is one Of
the greatest regatta associations in
the country, second only to the Ma
tional, and. in fact, all the active as
sociations in the latter are connected
with the Middle States. New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
lngton are the most active rowing
centers in this country.
The first regatta of the Middle
States was held at Newark, on the
Passaic river, and for a number Of
years was rowed there annually
until the condition of that river be-
came such that regattas could no
longer be held there, and the famous
old course, upon which many i'm
portant regattas were held, was
abandoned. Then they held the re-
gattas on the speedway course of
the Harlem river, New York.
In 1903 the regatta was awarded to
Washington. Since then it has been
held In philadelphia and New York
and Washington in alternate years
This is the first time this regatta
has ever been held in this city, and
by parallel reports 1t will not only
be the biggest Middle States regatta,
but one Of the biggest rowing events
ever held in this country.
The New Yorkers have three reasons
for coming TO the Middle States in force,
one OF which Is to return the compIi-
me1t which the local oarsmen paid to
New York in 1863. when they sent eight
entries and would have sent nine. One
entry. the senior fours, was annuled
because it did not fill. and was replaced
ley another club entering in the event.
B1t since the Ariels CAPTURED the re-
gatta by winning three firsts and two
Workers the Gothamites have thirsted
for revenge. and they are coming down
In sufficient numbers, and skilled oars
men, to capture the event. and thus
wipe out the defeat Of 1893. Then. again,
the New Workers are suffering under
the defeats which they encountered at
the national. and are locking to the
Middle States to retrieve their fortune
The New York Athletic Clubs four Is
anxious to again cross oars with the
ArlInde1s OF this city. and even up the
score for the .lefcat at Saratoga. The
number of oarsmen from New York will
be the largest ever sent cut by that city
in it's history.
Philadelphia, with its twelve clubs
will send list of entries which would
in itself make a big regatta. 1t is pre-
dicted that nearly every club on the
SchuylkilI will have an entry
Washington also owes it to Baltimore
to make number Of entries. as the
locals have always responded to Ihe call
Of the Wasningtonians whenever they
held a regatta. and the Potomacs and
AnaIostans will be well represented
The ,ocal oarsmen have the promises
Of the Argonauts. of Toronto, Canada,
that they will make entries, and Bos-
ton, although Boston viii hold a regatta
On the same day. Will send several en-
:rics.

Carries Armful of Bills
In Baseball Jam

Secretaries and business managers OF
baseball clubs generally escape the
spotlight. but almost always they are
interesting characters, and almost al
ways they can tell an interesting story
Here, for instance, is one by Secretary
lloyd RiCkart, of the st. Louis Browns:
Nowadays. said RiCkart recently,
most all the business of the box Of
flee is done in checks, but this has not
always been the case. l remember one
Saturday in New York when ! needed
about $500 to pay our hotel bill at the
old Fifth Avenue and to buy transpor-
tation TO Cleveland, where we were to
play next. l went to the office of the
New York club at the grounds, ami
the treasuI er handed me not check,
but 500 81 bills. 1t made a package at
least a foot high. A line chance |
would have TO carry it in my pocket
and travel along with that mob in the
subway. So | took an old newspaper
and wrapped it around those 800 bills
I tied the bundle with a ragged cord
and carried it on my lap all the way
downtown. l suppose the robbers and
hold-up mentor have no doubt there
were plenty of them in the car-thought
was not worth grabbing. But l can
see my finish had they known what
was inside that dirty piece OF paper.
Baseball secretaries can almost tell
the day of the month without looking
at the calendar. For the first three or
four days of every month good
many $40 and $40 bills come in. Along
about the tenth of each month, the
tens and twenties begin to disappear
and we get a good many fives.
Gradually the fives drop away and,
as the month wanes, the principal Of
ferings at the ticket windows are one
and two-dollar bills. 1t was late in
the month when 1 asked for that 5000
at New York that time and got it in
one dollar bills. The explanation OF
the way the money comes into the
ticket windows is. of course, that
most of our patrons are paid by the
month. They use their big bills t1rst
and the change they get from them
later. But you can throw away all
the calendars and almanacs in the
world and the men in the box office
at the ball park-Barnard, Blackwood,
and the rest-will come pretty close
to telling you the exact day OF the
month by merely looking over the
money that has been taken in that
day"

Tener Thinks Baltimore
Should Be in Majors

BALTIMORE, Aug. 16-"I see no
reason in the world why Baltimore
should not have major league baseball"
declared Gov. John X. Tener of Penn
sylvania, once a pitcher in the National
League, last night at the Hotel Bel
vedere, where he spent the night with
a party of friends.

Baltimore is certainly a baseball

In my opinion, is entitled to the best.
/ like Baltimore. If ii wants big base
ball, i want to see 1t get 1t. But
what | cannot now understand, and
never could, is how and why this city
permitted big baseball to slip 50 reck-
lessly from it's fingers when 1t had
such firm grasp and won so many
pennants."
As he spoke, Governor Tener showed
he had not lost his love for the game
at which he played so many years and
Won fame. He showed himself familiar
with the standing of all the teams in
the big leagues, and one of his first
questions when the baseball topic was
started was, How did the Orioles make
out today"

ANANGlER
DETECTIVE DIVES
INTO JAMAICA BAY
Follows Burglary Suspect Who
Seeks to Escape Arrest
by Swimming.

The only clue tina Detectives Ham
mond and Kaufman OF Brooklyn had
about Edward Delaney, wanted for
burglary. was hat Delaney was an ar
dent and consistent fisherman. Silver
ware worth 500 was stolen last Monday
from the home OF Charles Bastard, No.
95l Putnam avenue. where Delaney, who
Is nineteen. and a companion. were put
ting up awnings.
The Bassards knew Delaney lived at
No. 1872 Eldert street, WILLIAMSBURG, and
gave that address when reporting tho
robbery at the Ralph avenue station.
Hammond and Kaufman watched the
house. but Delaney did not go there.
The sleuths had to follow the fshing
clue. They learned that Delaney was
well known in fishing and bait circles
at Canarsle, and last night they went
down to that integral part of the city
OF Greater New York and questioned
men who fish In the waters OF Jamaica
Bay.
BY persistent inquiries they finally
found that Del"rey was out on the bay
fishing from a rowboat and would no
be in until after daylight. Taking up a
station on the pier they waited through
the rain of the early morning. through
the dawn and through the heat OF the
mounting sun.
Delaney did not get In until after
