EARING a pair of bright green eilk trunks and an American flag at his waist, which made Jim Coffey, the “Dublin Giant,” pale with envy, Sam Langford, the doughty colored fighter of Boston, climbed into the ring of the Empire A. C, last night, and for thirty min- utes threw enough punches into the mid-section and face of Battling Jim Johnson, another colored wielder of the five-ounce mitts, to stow away nearly a ring full of “white hopes.” Jim: not only remained on his feet ite this severe gruelling, but he ulso treated the fight fans to a great urprise by getting many a heavy right-hand swing across to Sam's jaw and also numerous inside uppercuts to the face which made Sam wince. Johnson, who tipped the scales at 226 poun was not a bit afratd o! Langford, for he stood right there and often met Sam as he came rush- ing in with straight rights plump on the chin. In the second round Jim made Sam real angry by uppercutting him on the mouth with a short right Langford tore into Jim after that and nailed him which drew the claret. {with many a heavy wallop, but it was noticed several times that Sam usu- ally stopped his body punishment in | the clinches and also would sidestep away after he had shaken up Jim with some of his wicked blows to his jaw or body. Several times the crowd hooted Sam for not going in and following up his advantage. Sam was emulating Peter Maher, a big-hearted son of Erin, who never liked to punish a fighter once he saw the claret streaming from his nose or mouth. While Lang- ford easily won on points, Johnson put up a great fight and can throw out his chest by saying he stood off Langford for ten rounds. A match has just been clinched be- tween Dan “Porky” Flynn, the heavy- welght of Boston, and Jack “Twin” Sullivan, the light heavyweight of Cambride, Mass. who has defeated many a big “white hope.” Flynn and Sullivan will battle for ten rounds in Answered At what weight did Stanley Ketchel A READER.
