Australian Was Badly Beat

Chance and by Fouling
He Escaped Being Knock
+. ed Out.

Beaten to a. frazzle" about de.
scribes what happened to Bill Lang
in London last night when he tried
conclusions with Sam Langford. the
great little black fighter who barring
Jack Johnson is, the best pug" on
the boards today. The fight was for
a purse of s17.500.
Mcintosh. the promoter of the
match, promised the winner match
for $4,000 with Jack Johnson. Near
ly 5000 persons watched the fight
The gate money amounted to $4,000.
which is a record for a. fight in Lon
don.
notwithstanding Lang's superio,
height, weight and reach it was soon
evident that he was outmatched by
the quicker and more scientific box
er. Langford did practically all the
scoring in the first round, keeping the
Australian on the run.
In the second round the Bostonian
dropped Lang with a right hook on
the jaw. The fight seemed to be
over, but the white man rose on the
count Of nine and the gong saved
him. Langford knocked him down
again in the third round. but Lang
rose just inside the time and by clev-
erly avoiding the negro's blows he
kept his feet until the gong sounded
The fourth round was a nixup in
which Langford swung his left and
right bIinGly, trying to finish, but the
bell again saved Lang. Langford
handed out more punishment in the
fifth round and f1oored the Austral-
ian twice with swings to the jaw, but
the latter, although groggy, managed
to survive the round.
Lang's eyes had been bunged az
since the fourth round and his face
was crimsoned with blood, and when
the sixth round began he was very
~roggy Langford after administer
ZIG more pounding got Lang in a
corner and suddenly shot out his
right for his opponents jaw. Lana
ducked and the negro missed and
slipped to his knees. Before he could
rise Lang gave him an uppercut with
his right. Referee Corri instantly
gave the verdict to Langford on a
foul, who had done quite four-fiftlls
of the scoring throughout the fight.
In a fight between Lang and Cur
ran at Olympia on January Is last
for the heavyweight championship
Lang drove Curran to the ropes in
the first round and Curran dropped
on one knee. Lang hit him while he
was down and lost the fight on the

KNOCK OUT BROWN
TONIGHT TAKES ON
|'ONE ROUND HOGAN
Battle Royal Expected To
night When Two War
riors Clash In New York

Knockout Brown, the most talked
about lightweight just now. will have
another chance to win fame when he
tackles One Round Hogan in a ten
round bout in the huge arena of the
Madison A. c. in Harlem tonight. The
Harlem River Casino can seat more
than 5000 club members, and this
ma oh has worked up 50 n much naa,, Inter
The nicknames Knockout and
"One Round" indicate the fighting
methods of these young men. They
are sluggers. boring In re'entlessly
and pounding away with both hands
until they reach vital spot -.
Although Brown and Hogan can hit
with either hand. IL is a we'll known
fact that each depends on one partfc-
ular wa1loD to .subdue an opponent.
Brown does practically all his punch
ing with the left hand. He reverses
the usual style Of milling by extend
ing the right hand as a guard and
swinging or uppercutting with the
left. which Is used necessarily. coupled
with vigorous rushing tactics.
! Brown is thick necked. solidly con-
structed as to body and limbs. and is
wants an opening to land his own
wallop. He has a vulnerable defence:
in fact. there is no studied protection
for his left side at all; yet in the
recent battle with Champion Wolgast
sturdy puncner. he did not appear to
be seriously hurt.
His awkward attack is puzzling and
as he carries the fight to his antag-
onist with whirlwind speed he is al
ways dangerous. But at the same
time Brown appears to be overrated
as hitter. fnasmuch as such men as
Young Sammy Smith. Tommy Muir
ply Bert Keyes and wolgast have
received hts heaviest blows on the
point Of the jaw without taking the
count.
HOGAN is right handed swinger.
He has knocked out numerous second
raters with that mawly and comes
here from California with big repu-
tatfon. Up to last fall he was prac-
tically unknown outside of San Fran
cisco. where he won many small
fights in quick fashion. 1t was not
until he outpointed Johnny Frayne in
twenty rounds hat Hogan showed he
could travel a long distance but in a
more recent bout with frankie Burns,
a Coast lightweight. he was disquali-
fed for fouling after making a COM
Earatively poor showing.
Tim Hurst. the veteran referee, has
been selected to serve as third man
in the ring. which means that foul
work will not be permitted.

WHERE FOLK STANDS.

The Omaha Daily News prints the
following news item: Joseph w. Folk
Ex-Governor of Missouri and pomi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the democratic nomination for presi-
dent in 1912, was in omaha recently
and took a rap at the Douglas county
democrats for their attack on w. j.
Bryan.
Mr. Folk declares that such at
tacks served merely to strengthen Mr.
Bryan nationally and that it was rid
iculous for anyone to even imagine
that such attacks would hurt Mr..
Bryan. Governor Folk said:
at is to be regretted that the Doug
las county democracy should attack
Mr.. Bryan They may not agree with
all of Mr.. Bryan's views, but he UNI
questionably is the greatest democrat
of today, and has had more influence
for better things than any other liy-
ing man in public life.
'Eiie has a larger personal following
than any other dozen men in Ameri-
ca OF course the democrats of Ne
braska feel proud of his name and
fame as any state should"
: Mr.. Folk feels very confident OF
democratic success in 1912 ii the par
ty is able to convince the people that
it is in earnest in the, matter of OPP
posing privilege and trying to help
the people rather than the interests.
He agreed with Mr.. Bryan that the
doctrine Of free wool should have
been adhered to by congress, and
criticised the action of the demor
cratic members of congress in agree
ing to a 20 per cent tariff on raw
wool. He said:
Prospects for democratic success
are bright If the party is true to its
ideals.
According to my views, in order
to win, the democratic party must OPP
pose privilege in every form, not only
the privilege of lawlessness, but the
privileges conferred by law in the
shape or subsidies, bounties and tar
if for any other purpose than that
Of revenue.
Mr.. Folk declined to discuss his
own attitude toward the presidency
and also declined to pass any judg-
ment on the administration of Presi-
dent Taft at this time

w. j. BRYAN AND NEBRASKA
PLATFORM.

Mr.. Bryan could mot reasonably
have asked for more If he is not
satisfied it must be because he has
had SO much these past sixteen years
he has become spoiled. No man in
our historyLnot even Mr.. Clay
ranks him in long-continued popular
ity. He has not now the strength he
possessed few years ago, but still a
great deal remains. This Fremont
deliverance seems to make sure his
appearance as a delegate to the dem
ocratic national convention. He
should head the Nebraska delega-
ton by all means His own interests
suggest it his party's intesests de-
mand it, and the country expects it,.
A great drama before house packed
to the roof, with the star role in
the hands oil an undenstudy, would
be disappointment. When the name
of Nebraska is called Mr. Bryan
