London, Ensland.-London news
papers today awakened to the possi-
bility OF an embodiment between the
United States and Great Britain over
the Mexican situation. These warm
inss heretofore have all cminated
from New York and Washington cor
government, as made known by the
Associated Press in America, were
net published here.
The Pail Mall Gazette saws:
"Evidently there is a grave mis-
understanding in regard to the Mex
ican crisis. Speedily it should be re-
moved. There are elements of danger
i'm the situation which easily may ar
rouse strong feeling on both sides of
the Atlantic"
''It cannot be denied that President
Wilson had some grounds for com
p!aint against the British policy in
MeNico." says the Globe today. This
paper considers that grave mistake
was made by the British foreign Of
flee in its overhasty recognition of
Huerta, in marked contrast with its
'lisnified delay in giving recognition
to King Peter of Servia.
British Minister Hostile.
Washington, d. diplomatic ex-
hoe N,
and the British foreign office regard
ing Great Britain's attitude in Mexico
are likely to continue. Indications
that Sir Lionel Garden, British min
lister TO Mexico. does not hold views
in sympathy with the American poll
icy toward the Huerta government,
caused concern to the American gov
ernment. Officials declined to discuss
Pages kilograms but their dissats-
faction with the attitude of the Bri-
tish was not concealed.
W lille some of the officials declare
they arc not seeking European sup
port at this time, it was made plain
CHAT they did not desire that any fac
tor should be injected into the situa-
ton at present from Europe that
would in any way impede the efforts
OF the United States to deal with the
Mexican problem.
Wants Free Hand.
The administration takes the view
that, as nearest neighbor to Mexico,
this government should have free
hand in trying to bring about its
pacitication 1t is expected, therefore,
that the reported statement of the
British minister that the United Stat
es did not understand conditions in
Mexico will be ther subject to furth

cles today took increased interest in
the situation and many diplomats

OVER LANCFORD
Boston "Tar Baby" Proves Easy
for Eastern Heavyweight,
1000 Fans See Fight.

DOSTON, Nov. 1S.-Gunboat Smith,
Is the white hope that Jim Buck
ley, of New York, has been
grooming for quite a while, before
nearly 1000 fans at the Atlas A. c..
won the decision over Sam Langford
in their twelve round bout last night.
The decision was just one, for
only in about two rounds did Lang
ford have the honors. 1t was prob
ably the largest crowd of sports that
ever witnessed a bout in this city,
and all went away satisfied that
Langford had shot his bolt as far as
ever again being considered good
contender for the worlds title.
odds of 100 to % that Langford
would be the winner were offered be-
fore the fight Some of the holder
ones were ready to make good wag-
ers that LangfOrd would stop Smith
within six rounds. There were few
takers of the Smith end.
The Gunner's heady boxing ana
footwork were as big surprises as
was Landlords poor showing. II
Tangford ever worked hard to win
no did in last nights battle. 1t was
smiths tantalizing left jab and his
right TO the jaw that threw LangforC
off so that he had hard work getting
set for countering.

KINGS BUT FAILS
To GET BIG POT
Giant Chief Unable to Collect
$1,272 Opponent Wagers on
Three Queens.

Anew YORK, Nov. 1s.-In a pri-
N vate dining room on the sec
ond floor Of Delmonieo's, Fifth
avenue and Forty fourth street, Pc
ker game was started on the night OF
Nav Is, 1911, the echo Of which was
heard in City Court when stice Nc
Avoy dismissed the action Of John
] McGraw, manager of the Giants, to
recover s1,272 from John A. Bennett,
race horse owner.
While the papers are mute, except
Il. so far as Dromissory note Is
concerned, it was learned that three
kings and three queens started all the
trouble. Mr.. Bennett; who is SOM =
thing Of a poker player, according to
his own version, believed that he had
counted all the cards in the deck He
believed, on this particular hand, that
Mr.. McGraw held only two pairs -
kings. and q numeral card. He knew
ne himself held three ,.ueens and be-
ueved he had discarded a king and an
ace.
According to the papers, Mr.. Ben
nett who once had many the lead
ing race horses on the American turf,
met Brandt Walker a Wall street
broker in a cafe downtown on the
afternoon of May Is, 1911, and they
saluted each others health plentiful
". II was after o'clock that 1t was
suggested that they go to Delmonico S
for dinner. According to affidavits, :,
taxicab was called and soon they ar
rived al Delmonico's. After being con-
Quoted to a window table on the first
, floor Mr.. Walker ordered.
Called McGrsw on Phone.
Things were rather dull. Horse rac-
Ing was dead and they were talking
about baseball and the wonderful
start the Giants had made This
brought up the matter of McGraw,
and. as both men knew him, Mr..
Walker suggested that they call him
up to have a bottle of wine. Mr..
