SAM LANGFORD TRIMS
SAM M'VEY ON POINTS

Sydney, N. S. W., April 9Sam
Langford, the American heavyweight,
yesterday defeated Sam McVey of
points.
Langford and ,McVey fought in the
Stadium before $1,000 spectators, and
after a hard contest in which honOrs
were fairly even until the last few
rounds, Langford succeeded in revers-
ing his defeat at McVey's hands on
Dec. 2S last
The betting was 10 to on McVey.
The fight opened at a fast pace. In
the second round Langford landed
three heavy rights on the body in a
clinch, at which McVey protested, and
the police interfered, barring kidney
punches in the clinches. Langford
had somewhat the better of the first
few rounds, and the betting veered to
5 to in his favor. Both men put
up a hard and rough fight, and the
referee was constantly engaged in sep
arating them.
BY clever sparring McVey managed
to keep his stronger adversary off un-
til after the seventeenth round, when
the furious pace began to tell on both.
Langford was in the better condition
at the end, although not good enoug h
to land a knockout.
The spectators cheered the referees
decision and were obviously delighted
at what they considered a hard and
fairly fought battle.

Johnson thinks that ave clubs stand a

Speaking of the 1912 race President

The American League has made ex-

construction of seven modern and
splendidly equipped baseball plants. In
the last two years there has been
much reconstruction in the eight teams
and this season we hope to reap the
benefits of that tremendous task.
There Is more interest in the race
this year than ever before. Boston,
New York, Chicago and Cleveland have
strengthened their teams to marked
degree. and the organization can with
confidence promise a struggle in which
five clubs will be strong contenders
for the flag.

POPE CAN'T HEAR LOVED BELLS
Physician FOrbids Phone Reproduce
ton of Campanile Chimes.

Rome, April 9.-The proposal of
telephoning to the Pope the sounds
of the bells which will be rung at
the inauguration of the newly con-
structed Campanile has been aband-
oned on orders from DR.. Marchiafava.
the physician in attendance upon His
Holiness.
DR.. Marchiafava fears the emotion
which would be caused the Pope by
the sounds of the bells would affect
his heart in a dangerous manner and
increase his depression due to home
sickness. which has been very pro-
nounced lately. The Pope often
thinks of his former residence in
Venice and was very happy when ne
heard that he could once again hear
the bells of the Campanile.
The truth Of the abandonment Of
the telephone proposal has been hid
den from the Pontff. He has Deei,
informed that the cancellation is due
to the ,nsurmountable difficulties.
When the Pope heard the news he
was keenly disappointed but recon
ciled He said he felt from the be-
ginning that the project was too good
to be true.

WICKERsHAM TO RESIGN.
Rumor Says Attorney General WIN
Leave Cabinet in November.

Washington. April s-The next
change in President Taft's Cabinet.
according to rumors around Washing
ton, is to occur next fall with the
voluntary retirement of Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham. The determination
on the part Of Mr.. Wickersham to re-
tire from the administration is not of
recent consideration. He has for
months, it is said, desired to be re-
lieved from the burden involved In
the prosecution Of the great trust
cases already begun, among them be-
ing that against the United Ssat--
Steel Corporation, in which he has
had the assistance of former Secrs-
tary of War Jacob NJ. Dickinson.
Since Mr. Wickersham entered MI
Taft's Cabinet he has conducted to a
successful termination the cases
against the American Tobacco Com
pany and the Standard OIL Company
From the first 1t has been we'll
known fact that Mr.. Wfckersham' <
service in the Cabinet meant dis
tinct pecuniary loss to him, his official
salary being many thousands below
his earnings as "a corporation lawyer
in New York city.
It is the belief that the resignation
will come soon after the November
election, and will not be condition
on whether or not the President r.
elected.

HIGhLANDERS DEFEAT
TOLEDO IN CLOSE GAME

Toledo, Ohio, April 9-Having play
ed a ten-inning trapped tie with the
Detroits, Sunday, the Toledo Mud
hens came back yesterday and made
trouble for the Hghlanders, but the
New Yorks won, to 4. The High
landers played a better game than for
several days, but were not perfect per-
formers by any means.
After the first inning New York's
play improved. Toledo travellers were
on bases frequently, but the visitors
fielded steadily after the opening mix
up and Ford pitched better with each
ensuing inning. Russell stuck the
whole nine rounds. In the early in
nings he did not seem to be anywhere
near right, his control being SO err
ratio that once he passed a batter de-
spite the fact that the first two pitches
were strikes.
However, Ford warmed up to his
work as the game went along and be-
came very effective. The Mudhens
never could bunch bingles on him and
he worked up a lot of speed before the
game ended. Gabby Street took a
rest, devottng himself to paprika
coaching, and Williams caught Ford
only fairly well.

IN CONAN PLAY

One of the very enjoyable features
Of Geo. M. Cohan's revival OF Forty

reviewers, is Miss Sallie Fishers as
sumption of the role of Mary. 1t was
the concensus of opinion that Miss
Fisher scored a dramatic and lyric
triumph In the part, to which she
brought clearness Of diction and vO-
cal perfection that visualized the
