old klondike gambler began his career
~ promoter In 1906, at Goldheld,
New. He bid 3l0l, 900 for the Jefiries-

he promoted at Reno in 1910. Coming
East he took over the old Madison
Square Garden, put boxing on its feet

the "best people" back to the rinsside.

Two great lishtweishts, Joe Cans
and Benny Leonard, rate high on our
honor list. Champion from 1901 to
1908. when he yielded to Battling
Nelson and to the ravages Of illness,
Cans was model of fstic skill.
Leonard, who retired undefeated in
1924. came closest among all succeed
ing lightweights to the Cans standard.
Benny outboxed and outfought a for
midable class Of rivals.
The fighter who rounds out our
top 10. Sam Langford, never had
title, but few will dispute the Boston
Tar Baby's" claim to greatness. He
is considered by many competent
judges the hardest hitter Of all heavy
weights. with the possible exception Of
F1t1immons. His career covered II
years, but he was in his prime in the
days when Jack johnson was a fust-
tive champion. and thereby a victim
OF the handicaps associated with the
