for there is nothing In fighting Lang
ford unless you can beat him. To
box him 12-round draw would not
mean anything. To beat him inside
the limit. though, would make sort
of champion out of Smith. Yet even
that might not come to pass. for a
majority of the devotees of the game
would feel as if Langford had thrown
the bout.

Whether Morris deliberately fouled
Smith, as some allege, is hard to tell
and much harder to believe, judging
from developments. Carl, ever since
the battle, has been bounding Cum
boat for return match, but Smith
has been inclined to sidestep. For a
moment it looked as if Smith would
meet Morris, and the Garden A. C.
was about to stage the contest but
the Glnboat drew out on the match
and Carl has been shouting
Coward at Smith ever since. If
Gunboat really believes that he can
defeat Morris he should take him on
in a hurry. Another bout between
them would draw, at least, q $4,000
house, which would net each fighter
about $500 in cold cash. Now to
not get any more than $1,5o0-if he
gets that much. SO it isn't any WON
der that the sports are casting refiec-
tions on the Boston affair when Smith
is willing to meet better man for
less money there.

Somebody around this old town Of
ours evidently knows the fencing
game and has written to the STAR in
order, no doubt to enlighten others
on the subject. Let us read:
]. p. N:
Having followed the fencing sport
for the last fourteen or fifteen years
we are surprised to read in the sport
ing page of a local newspaper about
the different methods of fencing,
among which is the American
method" and also the examining of
the different diplomas of the great
and unbeatable Professor Cetrulo If
/ th0 cQilOI VI Sdlu newspaper
would have read the reports of the
several matches, and your own sport
ing pages, together with the adver-
tisements in the papers published at
the time, he would have learned that
| Mr.. Cetrulo learned the art of fencing
from Professor Pavese, who, in turn,
had learned the same while handling
an awl, and also that Mr.. Cetrulo,
after getting conspicuous and gilded
alO or Aolx
practising with a razor in shaving
customers, became the teacher of Mr.
Troxler, in whose hall he gave ex-
| hibitions of fencing with alleged
| E'renchmen, Italians and Germans, in
between fistic encounters. He could
also have found that what Mr.. Troxler
calls the American method" was the
creation of the above mentioned three
| geniuses. who contributed to the same,
one the thrust of the awl, the other
! the slashing of the razor and the third
the punch of his first We object
lstrenuously to calling this the "Ameri-
can method" and we think that the
proper appellation of the same should
be 1.-The butchers slaughter-house
method of fencing" And this to en-
tighten the said sporting editor and
Mr.. Harrison, who propounded the
query in the said newspaper.

Expected to read the announcement
OF the great match long ago, but it
looks as if there won't be anything
doing for the present.
