Mcintosh has changed his
 mind regarding the superior fight ing quality of JOnnson. He says Langford is formidable en-ugh to put up a winning fight against Jeff's ccnQuGror and in that opinion he is supported by many of the English 5oXing critics. Johnson is cordially hated ill London, while Langford is in high favor just now. Because of
 his prevailing sentiment a battle be-
 ween them is generally desired and
 f Cne can be arranged there'll be world of interest in it over here. Langfo"d is universally regarded as JohnsOn's most dangerous rival and : it looks very much as if the time is net far distant when the latter will have to fight or crawl Lang ford can secure backing to the eX- 'ent of $20,00O from New York sport ing men and is ready to agree upon : my reasonable terms. In some quarters it is believed that Johnson : loesn't care to risk his title and will continue 10 put up hurdles; also hat he will retire rather than be forced into the ring with the BCs- ton Tar Baby.
 Johnson knows Langford like a book, He remembers the time when he met Samuel in Chelsea, Mass, back in 1906, and will never forget he knockdOwn he received in one of the early rounds. Langford was : only a welterweight then, being 50 pounds lighter than Johnson, who having taken a count of nine stood LangfOrd off the rest of the way by fighting him at long range. Lang ford is believed to be just as clever IS Johnson and possibly a harder hitter, with an equal amount of ring experience. But Johnson's ad- vantage lies in the fact that he is six inches taller and 45 pounds heavier in fighting trim. No matter which man won, it is thought that a fight of 20 rounds or more would be extremely sensational
