BLACK BUGABOO OF BOSTON,
 IS 2s TO-DAY.

Samuel Langford, the black bugaboo of Boston, who is, in the opinion of many ring fol- : lowers, the legitimate heavy weight champion of the world, will celebrate his twenty birthday today. To the fight fans it seems that Sam has been in the ring so long that he must be at least a century old, but the records show that Samuel was born in Weymouth, Nova k Scotia, March 4, 1886. The tar baby is thus British and Cana dian by birth, which should af-4 ford some nutriment to those Axvllo bevails the downfall of English pugf1ism, although he has lived in Boston so long that his conversation fairly drips culture.
 When he was scrapping in Australia, however, Sam made much Of fine fact that he was born under the Union Jack, with a consequent gain in prestige, popularity and Iucre. For a year or two it was the principal amusement in Australia to go and see the British born sam beat up the American sam, Mis- ter McVey.
 When Langford was out pointed by Gunboat Smith last ! November the fight fanatics of the downtrodden white race raised a mighty cheer, saving, Aha: Aha! Langford is going back. The best of the blacks has been beaten by a blonde. The white race is coming into it's own agafnt Aha! Horray!' All of which may be true. and then again it may not. Sam isn't so old as to have lost his memory, and he can ldoubtless recall wildly those lean years when no white pugiHst would meet him in the ring, and when the only matches he could get were with Joe Jeanette, Sam McVey, Black Bill, and other gents of color.
 Yes, Sam doubles remembered that. And when he was given a chance to fight the best Of the white hopes in limited contest, would he go in and sIay the goose that might lay golden eegs? Not so. Sam is too per- spicacious for that. If g cham pionship and 8 big purse had been involved, there might have been different entry in the record book. Aside from his defeat by Gnnboat Smith, Laangford has been defeated by only one other white man. That was away back in 1908, when sam was a new beginner at the game, and the pug who turned the trick was Danny Duane, who got the decision in dozen rounds. During his twelve years in the ring Lang ford has lost only eight decis- ions. Sam may be all in, and a has-been, and all that, but it is more than probable that the; wish is father to the thought
