I notice in answering one of the ques-
lions in your column for inquisitve fans
you have made a mistake. Question
HAS Gunboat Smith ever fought Lang
ford. and what is Smiths weight? YOU
answer as follows: Has never fought
Langford, Weight. 1856 pounds.
I wish to state that Smith got a ten
round decision over Langford in Boston:
there was talk about the fight not being
on the level. r. c. F.
In looking up Smiths record a book of
1913 instead Of f914 was consulted, which
accounts for the error.
Langford fought Smith at Boston No
vember II. 1913. Smith is credited with
a twelve-round victory.
