abused. 1t will make more excite
ment. and it will create more
matches.
With Langford free and clear in
New York, bout that is in the
making has Gunboat Smith and Sam
as the personages. 1t is the desire
of Smith, it is said, to fight Lang
ford in order to prove that he is a
ship with Johnson on the other end
of the match. AS Langford is only
too willing to be the trial horse, why,
the prospects are that the New York
commissioners will see to it that these
men are given an opportunity to set
tie their differences. Already the date
September 19-has been set for the
bout, and IL the commissioners say
the word we will be able to sit back
and rest on our oars for the occasion
with the assurance that we will see
a very good fight, and the most i'm
portant fight held in New York in
years. 1t may prove the sacrifice of
| a white man and a veritable slaugh-
| ter, but we must put up with few
inconvenience if we hope to ever get
back the heavyweight title.

With Langford coming in for so
much attention, it is but natural that
Dan McKettrick, who has that other
black wonder under his. charge,
should become mighty peeved. Dan,
as everybody knows, is little fell
low, but he is q good fellow and he
can talk a blue streak. You have
heard of Dan Morgan. no doubt and
of Jimmy Johnson and of Floyd Mac
Farland and other famous managers,
but take it from me that while the
others are ne plus ultra and all that.
Little Dam McKettrick is just about
as close to the throne as the next
one. He can talk lot and he says
a lot. He gave me an argument be-
fore the Moran-Palzer fight that l
couldn't see, but which resulted just
about as he had predicted, and he
has called the turn on several other
| occasions when wiseacres galore have
| been up a tree.

play. There are a good many who

He's fine rider and I admire him.

while, but sincerely hope his injury

much praise.
