SAVED O'BRIEN FROM KNOCKOUT
Referee Stops the Had Philadelphia all
But Out in the Fifth Round

New York, Aug. 15.-Sam Langford
of Boston, with an advantage Of about
ten pounds in weight, fought Philadel-
phia Jack .OBrien to a. standstlH IN
four and one-half rounds tonight at
the Twentieth Century club. Referee
Charley White prevented knockout,
when he stopped the bout in the mid
die Of the fifth round. O'Brien was
practically out from the effects of
hard left hook to the jaw and had
to be helped to his corner
1t was the old story of a clever
game boxer pitted against hard hit
ting fighter, and from the start the
Boston heavyweight had O'Brien's
measure taken. Langford's blows
were on the sledge hammer order,
while none of O'Briens swings and
hooks had sufficient steam behind them
to bother the colored man. The pace
was fast from the beginning and
O'Brien showed clever footwork and
scientific boxing.
At the end of the second round
O'Brien was bleeding from nose and
mouth and was cautioned frequently
for holding. Langford put O'Brien
twice to the. floor in the third round,
O'Brien taking nine seconds on the
second fall C'Brien was weak but
managed to stall along until the bell
gave him a respite.
There was no question as to O'Brien' S
gamenesS as he took a lot of punish
ment in the fourth and was figting
hard in the fifth until Langford landed
the finishing blows.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
LITTLE NEW BUSINESS.
Yesterdays Market Showed Heavy
and Irregular Tendency.

New York, Aug. 1o.-Some of the
Improvement manifested by the stock
market yesterday was lost in the
course Of today's operations, the list
throug bout. In the alternate declines
and rallies which marked the day it
was clear that some sort of a conflict
was in process, that the market had
become what is technically known as
two sided" 1t seemed to have de-
veloped into purely professional af-
fair.
One of the most disconcerting fea-
lures of the existing situation is that
it has produced very little new bust
ness. This is not altogether surprising,
however, inasmuch as some of the
have openly discouraged investment
buying at this time, on the ground
that conditions continue unsatisfactory
where they are not absolutely uncer-
tain. Even the speculative brokerage
firms declare that very little marginal
trading from outside sources has fol-
lowed the decline, which is. cited as
additional proof that not only was the
professional element almost entirely
concerned in the recent reaction, but in
the partial recovery as well. The dull
nasS which settled over today'S market
after the first few hours was strongly
reminiscent of the earlier summer pc
for days at time and net results were
utterly negligible. There was this diff
ference, however, that each succeeding
spell of inanition today was followed
by a moderate selling movement in
which early gains were invariably lost

around which the list largely con-
verged. and its erratic movements in

ELENA CLOSES SEASON
WITH GOOD LEAD.
Big Racing Schooner Has Defeated
All Rivals in Majority of Events.

1t was hoped that this quartette of

they have had sufficient sport for this

The two months racing closes with
the Elena in the lead, although in the
past two weeks her margin OF the
Westward shows a difference Of only
40 seconds in 231 miles of racing. Yet
the Plant yacht met the Cochran boat
in eight contests and DEBATED her five
times. The Elena met the Irolita in
