Boston Boxer Gives Jeanette
Awful Beating, But A.

BOSTON. January 11.-Sam Langford
the Boston tar baby won the decision
over his rival. Joe jeanette, the coiored
heaVyweights of New York, here last
night, but the match had every appear
ahce OF being fake. 1t was the seventh
meeting or the pair i'm the ring. and in
that time Jeanette has only won once
The fans, who packed the Armory A. A
making the biggest house in the history
OF the club, were watching closely for any
faint Of taking, and many left the ring
side convinced that the match was not
entirely on the level and that Lanrfors
could have put jeanette away before the
limit had he SO desired.
Jeanette took an awful lacinc from the
start Of the bout. In the first round he
was foored by right and left TO the
jaw, and 1t looked like a short fight
From then on 1t was Langford showfsr
the aggressive. banging away at his foe
with both hands, while the Gothamife aid

pulled some of his punches was very evil
dent, but he did not spare Jeanette in
his body with all. his force
and nearly made holes In his anatomy
The crowd Kissed loudly when Lanrford
refused TO go In and try for a quick end
Ing. as he practically had jeanette at his
mercy.

CADILLAC. Mich, January 11.-Al-
though dim, photograph of Champion
Wolgast's broken arm, made from an
X-ray photo. plainly shows the splin-
tered arm of the champion.
Instead of being a square break. as has
been reported. this break runs lengthwise
of the bone, and unless properly healed
would have split So easily at the first hard
punch that the bone would have shatter-
ed into many pieces.
It is impossible to obtain a photograph
for reproduction purposes of the manner
in which the break is healing. The crack
In the bone OF the champions left arm is
covered and knitted together with hard
gristle. which, while visible in an X-ray
photo, cannot be seen otherwise. It is
the opinion Of Wolgast's physician that
when the break is properly healed it will
be twice as strong as ever before, but
there will also be greater chance Of the
bone breaking in a different place, near
the present break, should the champion
strike an opponent sharpiy-not with a
swing, but "six-inch blow"
Champion Can't Hit Too Hard.
This is what Wolgast must watch in his
future battles. and this is what will prove
a great handicap for him. Wolgast will
not be able to go into his adversary with
that same old slam-bang style. taking a
punch for punch. He will not be so
well able to ward off a blow with his
crippled left as he formerly was, for a
strong clip on the proper place, although
securely bound. would injure him.
He must be careful of showing that left
arm into his opponents head. for the i'm
pact might start another break. Wolgast

Dode Paskert says Bob Bescher could
steal twice as many bases II he would
learn TO use the fallaway slide. Paskert
asserts the big Red outfielder. who for
two seasons has led the league on the
paths, relies chiefly on his speed and abil-
ity to outguess the pitcher in stealing.
IL he could master the hook slide there
would be a new base-stealing record is

cannot shove the arm into hghter
ribs as he did when battling Neison lie
must take no chances with it in striking
a glancing blow, but must be cautious to
see that wherever he lands with the ieft
arm he lands square and not too hard.
Think of it! A worlds champion light
weight pugilist must consider the al
visibility of not striking too hard when
he is fighting to retain the title. He must
at times perhaps hold back with that left
hand when as wifi, hard punch would
add to his list of knockouts and tuck
away another aspirant to his honors lie
must at times perhaps toy with his ring
mate to gain an opening for his right
hand, when a tap with the left at funny
little angle would send his mate to dream
land. He can't uppercutl Ike he used to do.
There is chance of his fist doubling
bit, and. crack! There will be new
worlds champion.
Will Use Practically One Hand.
And all of this trouble is due to bit of
recklessness displayed by Wolgast in his
bout with Jack Redmond in Milwaukee
last fall. Rather than put his man out
early in the game, Wolgast toyed with
him-gave the crowd their moneys worth.
Suddenly he saw an opening. Like a cats
paw, his left shot out. Equally as quick
Redmond ducked, and. the blow intended
for the vulnerable point of the Jaw
glanced upward onto the skull, and the
champion was seen to vince. With his
broken limb dangling on high. Wolgast
fought for his very life and won.
He is training every day. He is learn
ing new style of fighting which no one
but himself and Jones knows anything
about. He is not fighting with leading
right hand in front of him any more. II
is his left. He is not going to punch hard
with the left. 1t will be used to draw the
men on, and Wolgast, using. it might be
said, but one hand, will hold them off as
long as possible.

Mr.. Editor
In reply to your request FOR a few OBJ
servations upon the growth of NeNa X,
and such other comments as l might see
fit to make along municipal lines.
might for beginning observe that New
ark is quite an old town, antedating the
American Revolution, and in all those
years should have acquired large fund
of township wisdom and experience.
Whether it has or has not, J am perhaps
not qualified at this time to say. With
a population of, possibly, $500, the i'm
preston upon stranger coming among
us, would be that for the age of our
community We have not much to show in
the way of progress, and indeed il must
be true that our forefathers, pretty gen.
orally moved with very deliberate gait
When | first knew the town, about %
years ago, the building of one or two, or
may be three, modest homes, with Incl
dental property Improvements, would
about constitute a years growth. But
for the last l6 years / doubt if We, our
selves, fully realize all that we have
been doing.
Commencing With 1895, running along
for period of ten years. to 1861 find
there were 43 to IS houses built having
value of about $4,000, being a very
large percentage of increase over thu
preceding twelve years. During the time
of 1905 to 1910, five years, there were 6s
dwellings erected approXimating in value
$751; 900. The increase means about one
third more in number of houses, and
more than as much in value, in one-half
the time. For the year 1910, l find 43
were built, or in process of building,
having value of at least 5000 A re-
markable coincidence is to be noticed in
connection with the above figures, IN
that for the year 1910 we have practi-
cally the same number of dwellings,, anS
of the same value, as for the ten years
of 1895 to 1905, 1000 per cent increase.
Surprising as these figures are they do
not include conservative estimates on
