most of whom were women visit
ed Langford's headquarters and
openly insulted the black man by
telling him that they hoped he
would get his head knocked off'. If
Lang answers this prayer, he will be
the most popular man in England.
While the public Is pulling for
Lang to win, It isn't letting its fa-
voritism get the better of its judg-
men and Langford s stlll the long
end in the betting. at odds of five
TO four. 1t Is estimated that $l75OOO
has been wagered on the fight In big
bets alone.
Physicians examined Lang today
and pronounced him the finest physi-

Langford is in his usual jolly mood
and repeated his prediction that he
would put Lang away inside OF
