Sam Langford at the Fairmont A. c.,
but missed it by five rounds. The
negro dropped him then in a master
marksman's s style, and Billy John
called a halt
Langford s true form asserted itself
at The outset, and he began In earnest
TO put Smith away. He pounded the
white man at will, and quickly had the

couple of hard ones on his Jaw, but
it was hike hitting solid rock. The
negro never moved.
In the third Langford feinted for
Smith g body. and when Smith dropped
his guard, whipped over a staggering
punch on his jaw. Smith stood by his
guns, however, and answered with
hard right on the Jaw, but Langford
took it and retaliated with a left that
started the blood afresh from Smith g
nose and mouth
Langford was clearly the master, and
it looked like curtains for the uptown
boy, Smith was in distress when the
bell rang, but Langford was as fresh
as daisy.
Referee John L. McAvoy recently
stopped bout between David Desh-
ler, Bostonian. and Young Nitchie Of
Philadelphia.
Realizing that the bill, recently
passed by the Legislature, aims to place
boxing on fair plane. and which bill
is soon to take effect, felt that the
best manner in which the spirit of this
hill ka cd io htrh al
on the level. and, acting in this spirit,
stopped this bout after l had made
several futile attempts 10 persuade the
men to box, and felt absolutely con-
vinced that both were taking. And l
feel that by so doing / not only pre-
served the reputation of the club con-
Quoting the bout, but also my own
reputation, by not permitting the farce
to continue.
"some of the members present, be-
ing, perhaps, not entirely familiar with
these boxers and their respective abil-
tiles, thought that they were doing
their best; but you may rest assured
that they were not, otherwise would
not have stopped them.
Jim Barry, who WAS to favorite
IN his bout with Porky Flynn at the
Twentieth Century A. c., made poor
showing and got the worst OF it in
every round. He was beaten from start
to finish and, his friends will wonder
for many days to come what. if any
thing, allied him.
Flynn showed great improvement
over his work in his recent battle
here with Jewey Smith. He escaped
all of Barry S wild rushes and peppered
Tom Sharkey's "white hope" to his
hearts content. At first Barry was
stalling, he fought so slowly and poor
ly, but as the fight progressed he was
convinced that he had met better
man. and was getting licking on the
level
Porky is not hard hitter, He uses
his left for propping purposes only, but
he chops with his right in an effective
manner He surprised everybody by
the clever manner with which he would
get his head out of the way With the
possible exception of Jim Corbett, I've
never seen a heavyweight who could
duck with such speed and accuracy as
