Mcintosh Assures Tar Baby

New York

New York
Sam Langford will take part in two
more battles before he sails for Van
couver, B. c., For Australia, on
October 4. His antagonists will be
Joe Jeanette and Fireman Jim Flynn
unless unforeseen obstacles spring up.
Langford has beaten Jeanette on
several occasions and also has
knocked Flynn out twice, but these
men have doomed up lately with vic
tories, Flynn stopping Al Kaufman
Jeanette putting the husky Maxson
to sleep in less than one minute. SO
the Tar Baby is bent upon handing
sleep wallops to both of these heavy
weights if he receives the chance.
'LangfOrd is practically forced to
leave America because there's nobody
| left for him to meet said Joe Wood
man, the Tar Baby's manager, yester-
| day. People know what Sam can
| do to all the big fellows, so they don [
care to pay good money to see him
hammer second raterS into submission.
Mcintosh, however, has mapped out
a big campaign for Langford in Aus
| tralia, also for Porxy Flynn, the Bos-
| ton heavyweight and Young F'itzsim-
| mons, who will go along under my
management Langford will take part
| in six fights at Sydney, aside from the
prospective mill with Johnson, if the
latter doesn't run out. Bill Lang,
| Jack Lester the big Californian who
is Tommy Burns pupil; Bill Squires,
| Sam McVey Bandsman Rice of Eng
| land and probably Dave Smith, the
| Australian light heavyweight, will be
served up for the Tar Baby, each bat
| tie limited to twenty rounds. Flynn
will. have six fights too, his opponents
