LANGFORD AND CAPON|
IN A 1O-R0UND DRAW
Sam Is Held Even by italian
in a Battle With Big
Gloves.

Winnipeg, Man, June 17.-Sam Lang
ford of Boston. aspirant for the heavy
weight championship of the world, and
Tony Caponi of Chicago. who is after
the middleweight honors, fought a ten
round bout here last night before about
1900 fans. The fight was called a
draw, although the colored man had a
shade the better of the argument
Langford was much the heavier man
and the Italian showed remarkably
well against him. The result was a big
surprise.
Both fighters landed heavy blows at
times. Caponi brought blood from
Langford's mouth. The sixth and sew
enth rounds were the liveliest, as Lang
ford cut loose as If he meant business
Tony covered up nicely. however, and
was not badly stung.
Langford from then on tried to show
off a little by making fancy lodges
and swings which were not altogether
appreciated by the spectators. The re-
, suit was that Tony gave him severa
nasty jabs in the face which woke uI
Sam. and he put more steam into his
punches.
In the eighth round Langford sem
several hard swings to Caponi's ribs
! but they seemed to have little effect
| In the ninth and tenth rounds they
| both dashed out a bit, but serious
damage was done.
! The men fought with big gloves and
were forced to break clean, which ma,

In the preliminary Mike Gibbons o

Philadelphia, Pa, June 17.-One in
ming was all the worlds champions
needed to beat the White Sox yester-
day. In the first attack with their
war clubs they drove one Sox pitcher
from the slab. whaled out seven hits.
and scored seven runs. That was
enough right there, and from then on
they played a saving game, and won
by a final score of 10 to g. The Chi
cago men made a struggle to come from
behind and win. but soon as they got
within striking distance the world
heaters ordered another rally and got
more runs. There was some luck in
the game and most all of it favored
the champions.
Jim Scott, after resting for more
than week except for the work of
acting nurse to Roy Corhan in New
York, was the man chosen to do the
slabbing, and it seemed to make little
difference what kind of a ball he serv-
ed. the Athletics walked into it and
clouted. They hit just as If they knew
