There is an excellent opportunity ! at this time for some earnest hard working young man with a well plan . ned phsyique to make a name for l himself, and expose his life history l aunty, and pre-cents to the merciless 1 lime light of pink sheet publicity. This young man should also possess bit of momentum in the swing of his arms, a lot of reinforcement in his jaw, unlimited nerve and a little boxing talent Perhaps never in the history of the fight game has there been so big a chance for someone to come forward and cop the bay leaves.
 Lii Artha has left the stern and rock bound shores of the land of the free-for keeps. The one-time oWn- CT of the heavyweight honors no more figures in the title claiming group. By his own say~so.. America lnOWs-and with reief-that Jack Johnson will never again offend the land of his birth with his darksome presence there.

And they present a mighty pltlluI picture when lined up along sue Qf the havy stars of yesteryear
 With cynicism born of the last lew years of muddle in the heavy "elght division, the press of America VIII no doubt refuse to be excited. beyond control at the thought of an eIimnation contest among the whales IL has been some time since inc light fans of this country have been thrilled with the real thing in the way of heavyweight battles, but just the same. they cherish the memories of real stubborn. bloody, brutal com petition, man to man, that stirred the populace in the days of yore.

 With the raiment passing fair and a smile almost equal to that of Jack Johnson, Samuel Langford has arriv- ed in the fair land of Liberty bent on interviewing any of desc heah lte gemmans on the heavyweight fight situation. It is the positive and unchanging opinion of most sport writers that Langford will not be giv- en match with any of the white men at the top of the heavyweight hill The sentiment against match ing men of unmatchabIe color in these United States is little strong right now for MT.
