The ta { fight, which was for a purse of $,000 and the champlonship, twenty rounds. The ring generalship which he had picked up In many battles enabled Langford to score a comparatively easy victory over Hugue and the fourth round had barely commenced when the burly Yorkshireman was floored by a well directed blow and counted out. was scheduled to go gards weight, helght and reach, but his superior knowledge of ring tactics and his quickness overcame this, and what was | expected to be a long contest proved to be a brief one. In the first round Hague was slow to start lLangford had a shade the Detter of it until the end of the round, when Hague reached him with a hook to the jaw. This seemed to encourage the Brit- isher and, although no damage was done In the second round, he cleverness than the colored man Langford opened the a bard left to the face and he used this blow effectively several times before th song sounded. Hague, however, partially closed the American's eye with a hard right swing. The men came together in a fast mixup at the opening of the fourth round and Lansford put a terrific right on the Yorkshireman's chin which ended the contest. A record crowd saw the fight {and the American was a warm favorite, considerable money being bet at 2 to 1 and 5 to 2 on him to win. There was some dispute when the men came into the ring over the bandages over Hague's hand but Langford's objections were speedily overcome and the Yorkshireman was al- lowed to wear them The bout between Jimmy Waish, the Americen fighter, and "“Digger” Stanley of London for the bantamweight champion- ship of England was declared a draw.

In addition to that, he has a steady job mi short, where his speed, to- gether with' his wonderful base running, is one of the marvels of the American JBesides all this, he is batting .: which is & great record. Under a big, black type caption, “Aus- tin is Bure of Position at Short” a staff correspondlent of the New York Mail sends his paper his story of the game at St. Louts May 22: “It was Jimmy Austin’s fumble that paved a way for the Browns' winning tally yesterday, but the Omaha Kid Is every bit as sure of holding down the job of shortstop permanently as' Washington {1s of not winning the pennant. Jimmy opened ihe eyes of some of the old and staid Missourl fans yesterday by making & trlo of marvelous running catches in outfleld territory and his speedy per- formances on the bases. Jimmy was the big hero of the day, If New York did come out at the small end again. St Louls fans are not a narrow minded set, and they displayed their true sporting qualities by cheering Jimmy. | “‘Austin’s fast work Is a revelation to me,' remarked Stallings after thc game. ‘For speed nobody can beat him in the leagus. He is one of the finds of the season’ Jimmy's thrilling catches were manipulated . in the second, sixth and eighth innings. In the first and sixth he sprinted out into center fleld and smoth- ered flies of Wallace and Patterson, while in the eighth he scampered into Birdie Cree's territory and nailed Stephen's sky- shooter. 1t was fancy work of the gold medal brand. “Austin’s base running in the round was aiso on the brilllant order. It s now understood why Jimmy led the Western league last season with nineiy- seven thefts to his credit. He as a rifle shot on his feet and slippery as an eel when he finds it necessary to dod, or duck In under the base protectors When the Omaha kid registered the Yanks' solftary ftally In the fourth it was speedy limbs that enabled him to beat out Grigg's fumble. Then he stole second, then third, and then took Patterson un- awares and sneaked home on Blair's tap to the Bt Loufs’ first sacker.” RAIN noas-‘ov_n_i’ir OF A GAME Too Wet to Heat Pueblo, Who to Play Two More Games Here.

CANNOT MEET HACK IN WINTER Champion T@ys with Charley Olson at the Anditorium, but the Swede Makes a Very Favorable Inipression. Frank Gotch, world's champion wrestler, will not meet Hackenschmidt in Melbourne, Australia, next January, for he is advised by his physiclans to leave the mat for a year, end In a couple of weeks he will undergo an operation for the correction of nasal defects that are hindering him and | have been for two years, causing ap- prehension for hls lungs. Gotch himself gave this statement to The Bee just before his wrestle with Charley | Olsen at the Auditorium Monday night. He said: “For two years I have been bothered with a hacking cough. It became worse when I went to England and I have con- sulted a specialist, who tells me an opera- tion will be necessary or my lungs might become endangered. Some years ago I was struck on the nose In a ball game. The ball broke my nose and the doctors say this has superinduced the trouble. Some sawing of bones will be required to relieve me. When I arise in the morning I have difficulty in breathing clearly and have to do too much breathing all the ime through my mouth instead of my nose. So I have determined that as soon as I can I will get to the operation. It will be done in Minneapolls. One side of the nose will be attended to and then some weeks later the other side. So it will be remlly two operations. Time will be necessary to heal these properly and give me the required rellef. I regret the neces- sity of canceling my engagements, but my health comes first. Gotch wrestles Tom Jenking In Des Molnes June 11, And after that will go directly to Minneapolis for the operation, Toys with Olson.
