FULL TEN-ROUND LIMIT.

FULL EN-hOOND EIMI |.
Madison Square Garden, N. Y,
September Sam Langford won his
ten-round bout with Joe Jeanette in
the Madison Square Garden tonight,
but every minute of the thirty in
which blows were exchanged, the
black man knew he had stiff prob
lem to solve. Jeanette fought gamely
and cleverly. The Hoboken man was
at no time afraid of the Boston ter
ror and frequently sent back better
than he got.
Langford was looked to FOR KNOCK
out in seven rounds, but the fact
that Jeanette pulled through for the
limit sent Langford's stock as likely
opponent for Johnson, way down.
A crowd that filled the garden wit
messed the bout, but the overcrowd-
ing of week ago wax avoided. The
confusion outside the garden that
characterized the Wells-Brown con-
test was likewise missing tonight.
