J. (Uncle Tom) M’CAREY N “Inside oted Boxing Promoter Who Is Revealing for the First Time His Stuff." NE of the most exciting contests that I had the pleas of handling was, I think, that wonderful battle when rounds. come about in ginner,” company, and pany made an of the purse. a week before McCAREY Sam Langford beat Harry Wills in 14 Feeling between the men when they en- tered the ring was very bitter, and it had this way. Wills, who hailed from New Orleans with a very good reputation, but only a “new be- was in San Francisco at the time I opened up negotiations with his manager. I phoned the message to the telegraph in repeating it to Wills’ man- ager in San Francisco, the telegraph com- error of $2,500 in the amouht I didn’t know this until about the contest, as I was not in the habit of making boxers sign contracts. Ill Feeling | Started | ILLS' manager came to my of-} fice and wished to draw some money. This I let him have, and in the course of the conversation | it was necessary for him to show | me the telegram, as I had told him how the money was to be cut. I could readily see that the amount he was figuring on was different from mine. So when he showed me the telegram and it had my signature attached to it, calling for that $2,500 more, it made a very bad match from a financial standpoint for me. I had to send for Woodman, manager of Langford, and Sam him. | selt, to see if we could agree some . As it happened, Wills’ man- ager was a young fellow and tried to be very obstinate. On the other hand, Woodman and Langford tried to be just as reason- able as they could and help me out of my difficulty, But: during ‘this little mix-up Langford and Wills al. most came to blows, and left the office not on speaking terms. i Honored Winner CHARACTERISTIC of the col-| ored people is a desire to show their respect to the winner. So they had a big colored ball arranged for the evening of the contest, in honor of tho victor. Now here is where I claim that Wills made a terrible mistake. You who saw the contest, remember that In the second and third rounds he had Langford almost out, knocked him down two or three times, and also had to turn Sam around and show him his corner after one of his konckdowns. Wills’ manager, with that lit- tle feeling of bitterness still stick- ing in his craw, pulled what I term a great boner, as he kept saying to Wills, “Muss him up, muss him up, Harry, Muss him up so they won't know him at the dance.’’ And inde@d Wills mussed him up. It was a very pathetic sight, a: Langford was well liked by every: body, and to seo him in the condition that he was brought tears to the eyes of the old fight fans, myself among them, an ate Langford Wouldn’t Quit REMEMBER one man who I thought #o much of Langford that ho walked out in the fifth round, and as he passed mo he sald, "Tom, T can't stand {0 see the greatest 4 fighter that ever lived go down to defeat.” But Langford, with his wonderful heart and his keen brain, seemed to realize that Wills was trying to muss him up, and he was mustering all the strength that he could under the terrific punishment he was taking in the face. . Tide Turns for Langford HEN came a stregk of light. When Langford returned in the eighth round, he said to his manager, Joe Woodman, ‘‘Mista Joe, that big boy ain't gonna be quite so tall from now on."* Langford had hit Wills a terrific punch in the stomach and realized |that in the next round Harry would be thinking a great deal of that one and figuring on another one that might come. Apparently a badly beaten man, you could see Langford from then on creeping up by inches, and Wills gradually fading. And in the 14th round, the great little Langford not only won the con- test by knocking Wills out, but also won the applause of every man in the house for his gameness and ng wonderful up-hill battle. Later, Sam was also a real hero at the dance. 1 The next chapter will be pub- lished Thursday.
