here for the past week, and held a con-

resulted in being named.
President Watkins notified Chief Nc

cording to Tom, McCloskey appeared

Langford's previous engagement here

local shine was eliminated with little

beaten when he accepted the date and
presented a miserable front. Langford
sent haymaker in his direction, but
missed. Nevertheless Battling Gahee
considered what might have happened
and went through with the murder.
Hack counted him out
When Langford meets Lewis he will
have no such opposition. Black Pinky
not only has beef to his credit, but
he has punch, power and the proper
disposition. He was beaten by Nor

and was worn out after four rounds of

While the Travellers have been hold

for second position has been fought out
between New Orleans. Birmingham and
Atlanta which has developed some of
the prettiest and most hard fought
games of the season. Two of the three
games between Atlanta and New Or
leans this week went extra innings,
the Pelicans getting a majority of
them. The Crackers right now are
hampered by having two infielders out
from injury.
Mobile and Memphis are not far be-

GOOD BOUTS AHEAD.

Lewis has more than one motive in
seeking a victory over Langford. Vic
tory not only would be quite feather
in his cap, but it also would place him
in line for bigger matches in the East
where the fragrant odor of kale is
more pronounced than down South.
Lewis will challenge the winner Of
the Fulton Willis bout to be staged in
New York if he wins and Langford has
his eye on the same date.
The old Tarbaby may not be as active
as he was in the heyday of his glory
but he still is there with the wallop,
experience and most of the old time
viciousness. Very little else is to be
desired.
Regardless of how this match ter
inmates fight fans are looking for one
of the bitterest battles of the year and
predict stiff competition all the way
Langford will open a favorite, but
Lewis seems to have plenty of back
