LANGFORD BEATS

Negro Given Decision Over
the Australian.
FIGHT IS WON ON A FOUL
American Has All the Rest of 1t and
Repeatedly Floors His Antagonist.
Purse of $17,5OO Hung Up While
Crowd of 5000 Looks On-Lang
Loses Head in Last Round.

London, Feb. 1.-THE greatest interest
was manifested in the fight which took
place at Olympia tonight between Bill
Lang, heavy-weight champion of Aus
t-alia, and Sam LaEgford, the negro pu-
gilist, for a purse of 1880, because of
the fact that Mcintosh. the organizer of
the match, promised the winner a match
for $500 with Jack Johnson Nearly
5000 watched the fight The gate money
amounted to $4,000. which is record for
a fight in London.
Notwithstanding Lang's superior height,
weight, and reach, it was soon evident
that he was outmatched by the quicker
and more scientific boxer. 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 cleverly avoiding the ne
Gro's blows he kept his feet until the
gong sounded.
The fourth round was a mix-up Lang
ford swung his left and right bIindly,
trying to finish, but Lang again success
fully avoided him
Langford handed out more punishment
in the fifth round. and fioored the Aus
tralian twice with swings on the jaw,
but the latter. although groggy, man
aged to survive the round
Lang's eyes had been nearly bunged
up since the fourth round and his face
was crimson with gore, and when the
sixth began he was very groggy Lang
ford, after administering more pounding,
got Lang in a corner and suddenly shot
cut his right for his opponents jaw.
Lang 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, who had done four
ffths of the scoring throughout the
fight

Olympia on January IS for the heavy
weight championship Lang drove Curran

Many entries of flying models have al
ready been received by the National
Aviation Company, under whose auspices
the aerial exhibit will be given. All
known types of air craft in diminutive
form-Curtiss Wrights, Bleriots, An
toinettes, DemoiseIles, and other types,
which have not yet been named or clas-
sified, will participate in the various con-
tests for distance, duration and altitude
The aviation field will be nearly a
quarter of an acre OF floor space in the
big Exposition Building, which will be
occupied for the first time by the Ma

contests, in which valuable gold medals
will be awarded to the successful COM

AS the hall Of Exposition Building is
more than 80 feet in length, the various
flying models will have ample opportu-
nity to break the present American rec

actual value in the development of the
science Of aviation We have had in
quiries regarding the proposed contest
from all classes of people, from pupils of
the Mckinley Manual Training School to
gray-haired machinists of the Washing

Gus scientific bureaus of the government
are working on flying models. The force
for propelling the small aircraft is sup
piled either by twisted rubber band
springs or small electric motors.
I'm the various contests in Exposition
Building the models will start from an
elevated platform about the height of a
table, and will be flown straight down
the hall. The machines are supposed to
alight on their wheels or skids without
overturning. Large nets stretched along
either side of the floor over which the
flights are made will protect the spec
tators and the window glass from err
ratio or unmanageable machines which
may dart about the hall instead of fol-
lowing the straightaway course.
when the models are not in flight,
they will be exhibited in various classes
in one part of the hall. Inquiries regard

After a successful year as president
of one of the leading leagues of the
city, Harry F. Worley declines re-elec-
ton. Here is a man who has proved his
worth, and ii would be wise for the
amateur baseball commission to consider
him as a candidate for election to one
OF the three important places on the
board of arbitration. A more competent
man could not be picked from the many
candidates in the field, as his knowledge
of the real and existing conditions among
the amateur leagues at present is very

Should a change in playing grounds be
made by the Independence League. it is
almost certain to injure them. Large
crowds are drawn to McDevitt's Field
because interest in most OF the teams
centers in that locality. Owing to the
fact that a road has been cut through
part of the diamond. there has been talk
of seeking a new field, but it is under
stood that several of the managers are
opposed to a change, and an effort will
be made to shift the diamond about and
still use McDevitts.
