mingham took hold that there is no tell
ing what may happen far as that team
is concerned.
No team is going to make a runaway or
the coming race. II is going to be one Of
the hardest fought pennant races I'm the
league history If indications count for
anything.
schedule is to be learned from the con-
ference which Ban Johnson and Barney
Dreyfuss are holding at Aiken, $. &. II
is, of course. reasonable to assume that
the Nationals will open at home this
spring. because they opened away from
home last year and these openings usual
ly alternate. 1t is. of course, also sure
that one of the other eastern teams will
open here, and very likely New York or
Boston. because Philadelphia opened here
a year before last. After Johnson and
Dreyfuss decide OH a schedule it remains
to be adopted by the two major leagues.
though as a rule there is no hitch over il
when it comes up in February.
1t is questionable whether Hank O'Day
will return to umpiring. 1t seems that he
is not satisfied with the term he had in
Cincinnati as a manager, and he Is said to
be thinking seriously of investing some
money i'm a minor league club and rum
ming ii. Hank has offers from both ma
jor leagues to umpire. Int he feels that
his reputation as a manager has not been
done justice by his Cincinnati experience
and he wants to stick to that end of the
game.

M'VEY KNOCKED OUT
Langford, Also CoIored, Lands
Sleep Punch in Thirteenth.
SAM WINS AUSTRALIA TITLE
Boston Tar Baby Also Holds Heavy
weight Championship of
England.
SAM WINS AUSTRALIA TITLE

SYDNEY, n. S. W., December 27-Sam
Langford, BOstons Tar Baby" yester-
day Knocked out Sam McVey, another ne
gro heavyweight, in the thirteenth round
of the most terrific heavyweight battle
seen in Australia for many years. Nc
Vey was outclassed from the start, but
put up a very game battle. Langford
had literally to beat him into uncOn-
sciousness before he was able to stop
the bigger man.
Langford handed McVey terrific pun
ishment. In just two of the thirteen
rounds did Mac have the ghost of a
chance. In the second and third he had
a slight shade the better Of the milling.
He landed frequently with both hands
to Langford's body. But. though Nc
Vey had many clean openings and threw
all his might into his blows the punches
did not worry the Boston boy great
deal.
Langford drove McVey all over the ring
in the first round. With the first tap of
the gong he began vicious assault that
had no let-up during the three minutes.
He rushed at McVey, driving in short
arm jabs and hooks and forcing the big
ger man to break ground. Langford
worked McVey into a corner and mauied
the life half out Of him with short lefts
and rights to the body. Many at the
ringside believed that McVey would not
be able to last the round.
In the fourth LansfOrd cut loose again.
He had taken things very coolly in the
second and third. apparently willing to let
McVey fight himself out In the fourth
McVey came at Sam with a rush, but
Langford sidestepped and brought the
right fiercely to the chin in we'll direct
ed uppercut McVey fell like stunned
OK and was forced to take the count.
He was never the same again.
At times thereafter McVey was so bad
ly damaged that he reeled upon his feet
like drunken sailor. He simply wouldn' t
go down. Any number of times he saved
himself by clinching and holding on for
dear life, even against the warning of
the referee.
The end came in the thirteenth. Lang
ford hammered McVey up against the
ropes, battered down his guard and
pumped lefts and rights to the face and
jaw until McVey fell exhausted.
McVey and Langford were very bitter
enemies. McVey was champion of Aus
tralia and Langford champion Of Eng
land. though both are Americans. Yes
terday's battle was the sixth in which
these men met Five We're fought in
Australia and one in Paris. Langford
won four times, was beaten once and
on the other occasion was awarded a
draw.

ball. until he decided to quit This was
in 1889. Everybody Thought William s
retirement was largely in the nature of
a bobtail. But Bill proved he held a full
hand. He retired and has since stuck it
out.
Lange weighed 200 pounds. Still he
was one of the fastest men who ever
scampered after a fly in the outfield. He
ran bases like Wagner. He slid into the
sacks like Cobb. He could hit anything.
He had to meet the speed of a Walter
Johnson, for he faced old Anne Rusie
He had to bat against curves like those
of a Matty or a Bender. For he faced
Ferguson, Burlington, weighing, Gumbert
and the rest. The fact that he could
paste that pill right on the ringworm
showed that he would have batted as
we'll today as he did then.
This was Bill Lange. To compare him
with Cobb, of course. is matter of fig
ures. Take their batting averages Ty
has it on Bill by a margin as wide as
the bank account of d trust magnate.
Bill was seven years in the game In
that time he had grand batting aver
age of 1871, hitting beneath the classic
300 but one year. That was his first

batting average Of $50.

stuck out the ball and said a PRAYER for
safety.
