they learned that the match with Morris
was exciting unusual interest When Nor

couldn't understand why he didn't re-
ceive equal notoriety. Didn't he knock
out AL Kaufman in ten rounds? He did
and Kaufman was supposed to be the
only white man able to extend Jack
Johnson. So Flynn decided to assert
himself, but not until he had paid visit
to the Garden.

Incidentally the Madison Square, A.. c.
clinched match yesterday between Sam
Langford and. Joe Jeannette. who will
box ten rounds in the garden September
s. They accepted the offer OF ten
thousand-dolIar purse. which put rival
clubs out of the running. This scrap
will be for keeps, no doubt, as there Is
bitter feeling on both sides. Jeannette
made a wry face when he heard that
Langford would meet Jack Johnson IN
the Tar Baby to anger. He called Lang
ford a quitter and said that II he could
get Sam into the ring the proposed John

nettte has figured it. out that II by

to indicate that Jeannette's dream will
not be realized. Langford has shown. on
two occasions that he can whip Jeannette
II, short bouts. and many persons believe
that he has never fully extended himsea. !.
In view Of the friction, however, 1t is
concluded that Langford will have no
mercy for his old rival this time. It also
win be q matter of interest to md out
how large crowd two colored boxers
can draw.
