BOXING BOUTS Of WEEK
Langford's Match with "Phi|a-
deIphia Jack" O'Brien Feature.

Sam Langford, the negro heavyweight,
OF Boston, will appear in New York arena
for the second time within a week when
he matches his strength against the speed
aid science Of philadelphia Jack O Brien.
The men will box ten rounds at the Twen-
tieth Century Athletic Club Tuesday night,
and the contest should be a fast one while
it lasts. That Langford does not regard
the match as mere walkover is evident
from the fact that he asked the club
management TO postpone IL week in order
to give him time TO train He reconsid-
cred, however. and is already in good con-
dtion to make fast fight out of it.
O'Brien will make desperate effort to
outpoint Langford, for should he manage
to earn a popular decision he will be in
line for many important matches with the
best men of the class. He is in fine oon-
dition and for five weeks has trained in
private for the ba tie For the last We *
he has heen busy at Cannon's roadhouse
IN The Bronx Those who saw the Phla-
delphia barrister work for the battle were
deeply impressed by his speed and were
not backward in predicting stormy time
for Langord
O'Brien worked like the cldtme OBrien
against his trainers, and had the old speed
and footwork. But IL is a question If he
will be able 10 take the hard punching of
Langford and maintain his pace. II is
some time now since OBrien boxed first
class man. and in his last appearance
against Ketchell, in Philadelphia, he was
knocked out in three rounds. Langford
to-day is undoubtedly a better man than
Ketchell was two years ago. and those
who follow the sport are inclined to think
that Langford's terrific body blows will
wear O'Brien down after few rounds and
make him easy toward the end.
The middleweight situation will be cleared
up to a degree on Thursday night when
Frank Klaus and Cyclone" Johnny
Thompson meet for ten rounds at the Ma
tioral Sporting Club of America. Both
men are rated as leading contestants for
the title. and Thompson, by virtue of a
victory over Billy Papke. has been loud in
his claims Thompsons title, however, was
sadly smirched when Smith, the Austria
liam middleweight. outboxed him for TWEEN
" rounds and Hugo Kelly, whom Papke
beat in punch, gave him a bad ten
rounds Klaus has beaten some of the
best men Of his weight and If he man.
ages to outpoint Thompson he will be
matched with Papke
"Porkv" Flynn. Of Boston. who easily de-
feated Jim Barry, will meet a tough prop
osition Wednesday night at the FairmOnt
athletic Club Of The Bronx when he faces
Joe Jeanette, the negro heavyweight.
Jeanette Is In perfect condition for the
bout and Flynn will have a stormy time
on his hands.
Willie Beecher. the East Side lightweight,
will re-cnter the ring after a long rest next
Wednesday night when he crosses gloves
with cy Smith. Of Jersey City, I'm the
main bout of ten rounds al the Long Acre
Athletic Club. Smith and Beecher have
about the same style to their work. and
the resulting contest should be full Of ac-
ton.
