Every Round.

New York. Aug. 25.-Sam Langford,
the Boston heavyweight. knocked out
Tony Ross of Pittsburg in the sixth
round of their scheduled 10-round
bout at the National Sporting club
here Thursday night.
Langford hit up a terrific pace at
the tap of the first gong and despite the
fact that Ross had an advantage of
some 80 pounds in weight, gave the
latter severe, beating. In the nth
round, only, Ross showed to any adj
vantage Through the other rounds
Iangford hammered Ross unmerclful-
~ and in the fourth was robbed of q
knockout by the bell after Ross had
taken the count of nine.
1t was in the fourth round that Ross
took the hardest beating. With an
assortment of hooks. Jabs, swings and
uppercuts, delivered in whirlwind
style, the Boston fighter beat his OPP
ponent until the latter dropped ex-
hausted to the floor.
To the surprise of everybody, Ross
came back strong in the fifth. He
hurt Langford with a right to the
stomach and the latter slowed up. Ross
followed his advantage with right
and left swing and claimed the honors
at the tap of the gong.
In the sixth round as they came out
of a clfnch, the Boston fighter stepped
back suddenly and swung right up
percut to the chin and as Ross stag
gered Langford shot a terrific left to
the jaw and Ross went down and out.
He had to be carried to his corner.

ADVERTISING TALKS.


Just what will this mean to
the future of advertising?
What the Agencies want, ap-

THE RATES of all publications
they want DISCOUNTS AND

want a National Organization,
so that the methods of all Agen-

viz. BUSINESS HONOR.
The old habits of undermine

buried forever if the Agencies

Regarding Manager Ricketts, protest
yesterday, while it may be an open
question, the following rule would seem
to apply: Rule SO, section 1. The bat
ting order of each team must be deliv-
cred before the game by its captain to
the umpire, who shall submit it TO the
inspection of the captain of the other
team. The batting order delivered to
the umpire must be followed through
out the game, unless a player be sub
stituted for another, in which case the
substitute must take the place in the
batting order of the retired player. "
This rule has not been followed, it be-
ing customary for the managers of the
teams to give their respective batting
orders to the official scorer. Under this
rule Manager Rickert had no right to
change his batting order after the
game had started.
