Joe Woodman, Sam Langford's man
ager returned to Boston Monday from
England in company with Danny
Flynn, who was a member of the
Langford Woodman combination that
went abroad early in the winter to
meet several engagements in London.
Paris and elsewhere. Langford re-
turned to Boston a couple of weeks
ago, and at that time the impression
became current that the Boston boxer
and Woodman had had falling out
and that Woodman would not look aft
er the managerial end of Langford's
affairs in the future. Woodman denied
Monday night that there was the
slightest friction between himself and
Langford, and said that the latter had
been a guest at his home all through
the evening. Whether Woodman and
Langford will return at once to Eng
land depends upon what arrange
ments are made on the other side. Be
fore his departure Woodman gave his
terms Tor 4 couple OF important en-
eagements for Langford there later
in the season, and if they are accept
ed the two will go over again the last
of next month.
All arrangements are completed for
the 16-round bout between "One
Round" Hogan, The sensational Cal
ifornia lightweight, and Ad Wolgast,
the lightweight champion Of the world,
at the Madison Athletic Club, 126th
street and Second avenue. New York.
Wednesday evening. William Boag,
who arranged the contest, announced
Monday night that he had visited
the training quarters of both Hogan
and Nolgast daily since they began
training for the contest, and declares
that both are in prime condition for
the battle of their lives. The fact
that this will be Wolgasts last ap-
pearance in the East, and also that
it will be Hogans last appearances,
so he declares, if lie loses to Wolgast,
has lent added interest to the match.
Hogan is conceded to be one Of the
hardest hitting boxers in the light
weight division. and Wolgast may find
this out to his sorrow before the bout
