 cable brings the news that the two black Sams-Langford and McVea- are matched to fight again in Sydney, Australia, next Easter Monday.
 We'll here is one warmed over at traction that is sure of a big gate. When the tow negro heayyweights fought last December 26 and the ref cree decided in favor of McNea, there was what one Antipodcan called a wave of popular indignation"
 Referee Baker, who was always re garded as the embodiment of sound judgment and integrity, was hooted out of the ring.
 Some of the sports who have known Baker for years spoke more in sorrow than in anger about the miscarriage of justice" and attributed Bakers wretched ruhng more to temporary alteration, superinduced by the heat, than to a desire to do wrong.
 There was on all sides 9 disposition to believe that Langford had got the worst of it." but after the first burst or virtuous indignation. the Australian boxing editors were far from being unanimous in declaring that Langford should have had the verdict They said they thought a draw decision would have htted the eXigencies of the occasion. From newspaper and private mail it is gathered that this is about the way the thing is viewed out yonder-that Langford should have been permitted to share the hon. ors of a dead heat.
 The controversy which arose over created. The pair met again. before Of the Eydney sports. They are long ing for another glimpse Of the two Sans in action. and there is every reason for supposing that a banner crowd will witness the Easter Monday reunion
 or course, there is no supposition- at least in Australia-that the rival negroes schemed 10 work oif two matches on an specting public but if there was anJ collusion about the affair. the fighters and those be hind them must be regarded as neat tricksters.
 Here in San Francisco it has hcer

 There is an idea that l.angfoTd may show an unexpected "rctnIn to fCIm' when he stacks up against McVea or Easter Monday. II is safe to say. how ever that there will be ID undue sUr Trisc. no matter what happens Il Langford turns the tables on ucTea tue news will be received placi1ly and if McVea scores 2 second time against Langford. there will te aT equally small display Of emotion This because the public has tired of trying to guess LangfoTd. He has been manacled in so many fights. but there is no telling when he is free tC punch with all his might and main.
  Sam sometimes fights in hobbies. the idea is entertained that he is going down hill. But, even if this opinion is rarely the outgrowth of his in-and- out performances and Sam has 1t in him to convince us he is as good as ever, it must be said that the rules under which, glove contests are con- ducted in Australia at present are in a measure a handicap to a man of Langford's style of fighting.
 Langford is an in-ighter, while Me Yea likes to stand on and prod away with a long, straight left. The reports Of the December contest show that McVea worked the left to good pur- pose, but for fear that anyone at this end should think he baffled all Lang foTd's attempts at in-hghting, it should be explained that the new police rules under which Langford and McVea fought forbid men battling in the style that Iangford eXcels in.
 In early December the opponents of boxing in Australia, who are generally called ''Wowsers,' agitated strongly in favor of a stop being put to the favor ite indoor sport. The police authori- ties when appealed to declared that there was nothing objectionable in QueensberTy pastimes as long as the law was lived up to- About a week or so before the date of the last Langford-McVea match the inspector general of police caused to be printed in the leading papers of Australia his ideas as to how boxing should be con ducted so as conform with the law. The article bore the headline:
 the Instructions to Police" and ran as follows.
 Special instructions have been is- sued by the governor-general to strict observance by the police throughout tho efata of Neu gouth Waieg regard
