LANG IS PUNISHED
SEVERELY BY LOWE
Cleveland Lightweight Weakens
in Fifth and Barely Lasts
Until Fifteenth.

Tommy Lowe proved so much SUI
perior to Bruno Lang in their fifteen
round mill at Ardmore last night that
the fans who saw the lightweights mix
II UP are today wondering how Lang
ever got the best OF Tommy in Akron
two months ago. There was no COM
parison in the fighting ability of the
boys after the fifth round. when Lang
ran up against his first snag in the
shape Of flooring at the instance of
one Of Tommy's swift blows. Six other
drops" occurred to Lang before Pat
O'Connor held loves hand high In the
air in the fifteenth, the local lad hav-
ing completely established his superb
ority over the Forest City boy.
The second downfall of Lang came
in the seventh, when Lowe repeated
his fifth-round performance, VIZ. a
stiff left lab. Twice In the thirteenth
and twice in the fourteenth the Cleve-
lander went down for nearly the full
count. and the fall in the fifteenth con-
ment for the visitor was inhuman. Lang
esta blished one fact to the entire salts
faction OF the spectators. namely. that
he can take more punishment than any
one the Ardmore folks have seen fit
to bring here. Ferguson got an awful
beating at loves hands a month ago,
but Lang had more to take than even
the Philadelphian.
Young Thomas had to go with Bat
Ting Toughskey because Kid Mayo
failed to put in an appearance. This
scrap was for the most part even, but
Thomas was given the decision by a
slight margin of points, the referee an.
nounced. In this mill Thomas dislocated
his left shoulder.
