VETERAN SPRING
HAD HARD PUNCH
Defeated Irish Champion
in Is Rounds So Years
Ago Today in England.

Ninety five years ago today at Chi
chester, England. one Of the most ter
rifle heavyweight championship
battles in ring history was fought It
was a contest between ireland and
England. with John Langan. called
e4rishman Jack" representing the
ould Sod, and Tom Spring. the cham
pion. defending the pugilistic honors
Of John Bulls isle. In the end Spring
was the victor. but only after rs ter
rible rounds. lasting about two hours
and a half The title holder and the
Irishman had met once before. at
Worcester, and Spring had been
awarded the victory only after Il
rounds Langan's showing was so
good that the bugs decided he was
entitled TO a return match
Spring was at that time about 80
while Langan was some four years
his junior The Irishman had all the
better Of 1t in the matters OF skill
and cleverness. but Spring was one
OF those human bulldogs who do not
know when they are beaten
The ring for the fight was pitched
in the middle OF a field. and elevated
so that the thousands who gathered
round might see. The champion had
an advantage OF a dozen pounds in
er and had a longer reach The first
few rounds were about even. By the
fifteenth round Spring was reduced
TO fighting with one hand. his left
being out OF commission. There was
hardly a round thar the pair did not
go TO the mat together. Despite the
fierceness OF the encounter, neither
man lost his temper. and they chaffed
each other good naturedly throughout
the long contest. By the 30th round
the champions right hand was also
of little use to him for purposes OF
attack. and his tactics consisted OF
throwing his opponent as often as
possible. Several times Langan lighted
on his head with such force as TO
temporarily stun him Under Queens
berry rules Spring would have been
done for. but this was in 1924. when
there were practically no rules. and
the champion had only commenced to
fight
In the 18th round. the game irish
man had to be carried into The ring
His seconds and the crowd urged him
TO quit. but he refused. In the 18th
Spring gave Langan mere push, and
he toppled over. and was unable TO
get up.
