JEANNETTE BESTS
SAM LANGFORD

New York, Oct 4.-Joe Jeanette out
pointed Sam LangfOrd in a 1O-rOund
bout at Madison Square Garden last
night. Jeanette weighed 1876 and Lang
ford 1919 II.
Jeanette was in fine condition, while
his opponent did not appear as well
trained. Jeanette OutbOxed his man
in the first three rounds, using left
jab TO the face to good effect. The men
fought hard at close range at times and
each suffered severe body punishment
In the fourth, Langford showed at
his best. Heavy rights and lefts to the
head rocked Jeanette, forcing him to
clinch. Jeanette began to forge ahead
again in the next round but strong
blows to the body brought the round to
an even break when Jeanette was
again forced to hold to avoid punish
ment.
Langford's exertions began to tell on
him in the sixth round. and in an effort
to bring the contest to quick close to
avoid a loss on points he tried hard to
send his right over the jaw. Jeannette's
clever fOotWork enabled him to keep
away. The fight was less rough than
the last enga cement of the men in this
city. In the first round Jeann'
slipped to the floor but was up imme-
diately.

TEW YORK, Oct 4.-Veterans of
~ the memorable struggle of the
Giants and Athletics for the
worlds championship in 1911-which
the Athletics won by four games to
two-win form the back bone of the
two teams when they face each other
again in the worlds series on the aft
ernoon of October Z.
Nearly All Played Before.
OF the Il Athletics who went on the
diamond in the worlds series games
of 1911, Is are in the list of 25 which
Connie Mack has declared as eligible
for the forthcoming games. Lord is
the only man who played in 1911 who
will not play on the Philadelphia
team this year Twelve of the Is
players who fought for New York in
1911 will ugnu Tor II again in 1913.
The absentees are Ames and Devore,
traded to Cincinnati, and Becker, re-
leased. The worlds series of 1913
Will therefore be in large measure a
contest between the same men who
engaged in the series of 1911.
What Thy Did in 1911.
What these men did in 1911, their
past performances IN the six games OF
that series, are OF unusual significance
and bearing on the present contests.
The first game of the series of 1911
was played October II on the Polo
grounds, the scene of this years first
encounter before a crowd the like Of
which had never seen a baseball game
before. There were 3S,2S1 paid spec
tatoTs. The day was brilliant with
the tang of the autumn air when the
players trotted out on the field in
their black uniforms with a touch of
white here and there, they were
greeted with a roar of welcome such
as had never arisen in a ball park
before. The Athletics clad in the
customary grayish red travelling uni
forms, were welcomed almost as
warmly.

CLABBY WINS OVER
SAILOR PETROSKEY

San Francisco, Calf, Oct Jimmy
CIabby fought rings around Sailor
Petroskey last night and received the
only possible decision at the end OF
20 rounds. PetrOsky weighed l9S
rounds and CIabby Isl. A count Of
the rounds gives Clabby all but four,
and Petroskey one. The twelfth,
fourteenth and sixteenth were even,
had Petroskey had the thirteenth by
a doubtful shade.
In the eighth, a raking catlike left
to Petroskey's jaw made his knees
sag and he clinched and hung on until
his head cleared. In the eighteenth he
took an unbelievable beating and
reeled tottering about the ring but he
was never knocked off his feet, and
when he was most in distress was still
dangerous
Knowing that only a knockout could
win for him, PetrOskey did his best
to make a hurricane finish.

Ell Paso bantamweight, worked out
for the last time Friday afternoon,
preparatorv TO his 10 round bout with
Harry Atwood, Sunday afternoon at
Juarez Vastly different from the
Payo that fought Spider MOffatt, Payo
has developed some swift 1ootWorK,
and uses his head and hands to more
advantage than in his last appearance
at JuareZ-
Atwood is at present the favorite
because of his cleverness, but 1t IS
probable that PayO will offset this
by his continual rushing offensive
tactics, as the Mexican battler is at
his best when he meets a man that can
set his own pace. Max Halford will
while Ed Stewart will officiate in the
main event
Young Gene and Benny Cordova are
down to weight, and there promises
to be an interesting battle when these
bantams hook up in the second pre-
liminary. The battle royal will be the
initial event OF the show, and as the
negro boys have been told that they
will not receive pay for their efforts
unless the fight is interesting, a not
battle is anticipated.
Doc" Vaughn and Kid Reyes, light
welterWeights, will probably furnish
one of the snappiest four round bouts
that has been staged at Juarez.
Vaughn recently arrived in ElPasO, but
has consecutive victory string of IL
knockOuts, and IS confident of win
ming. Young Sam Langford and Joe
Jackson, negro welterweights, will
meet in the next bout.
Jack and Joe Herrick will box
