2 ee ee ee SOME BOOBS F CAUSE IT COSTS MORE TO BUY SHOES THAN TO BUY A HAT. EEL SECURE _BE.- THE EVENIN A Few Years Ago Neither Harry Wills Nor Any One Else Could Have Taken Sam Langford’s Measure. Coprriat 18) iohine Co, Wie Now York bvening Word DESPATCH from Panama A reads: “Sam Langford, the vet- eran negro pugilist, attempted a come-back here last night against Harry Wills, who defeated Sam @ few months ago. In the seventh round Langford onds threw in the sponge to save Sam from further punishment.” HIS Is the announcement of the end of Sam Langford as a great fighter. Of course Wills fe a giant in size and a skilful boxer, and it 48 no disgrace to be defeated by him, But a few years ago neither Wills nor any one else could have taken Sam Langford's measure. And to-day—fat and long past his prime—sanr Langford is only thirty- two years of age WONDPRIFUL fighting career Langford had. He was handi- capped by his color, for if he had been « white man he would have | Made @ great fortune in the ring. As it is, Sam probably has very little saved for the “rainy day.” in cour of time he may, like his old rival, J Walcott, become a coal heaver or a longshoreman, It is a queer fate for @ man who might, all chances being equal, have become one of the great- est of world’s champions. Langford was born in 1886, He be- gan fighting in 1902, at the age of sixteen. He was a lightweight. Among the famous old-timers who felt the weight of nis punch were Tim Kearns, Vatsey Sweeney, Young Griffo, Joe Gans, Willie Lewis, George McFaddea, Young Peter Jackson, Larry Temple and scores of others of Bearly equal fame in their day, Laugford grew through the welter and middleweight classes and bec @ heavyweight. And what a heavy- weight he was! Narrow-bipped and lean-walsted and with the greatest chest aid widest shoulders ever seon on @ tan of his height. Sam was only 6 feet 6% inches tall, but a giant in breadth and depth, With tremend- ous physical power he combined as- tonishing skill and perfect confi- dence, Slows glanced from his tur- | ret-shaped head without hurting him, | and his body seemed cased in mus- cles that were a perfect protection Against the padded fist. He wus ag- ressive, yet deliberate, Jack Jobnson fought Sam Lang- ford once. Langford way a welter- weight then. Johnson won a fifteen- Found decision. But Sam grew big- ger and tried in every way to induce ehnson to meet him again, And Johnson flatly refused, Johnson didn’t hide bis reason, He smiled his golden smile and explained: “That boy is tov tuugh; 1 can get the money in lots of easier wa by fighting him.” | There was only one heavyweight | Langford never challenged. That was ys than Jeffries. 1 usked Sam about it once, | and he said: “That great big bear No sir, 1 don't want to fight him." But after Johnson's victory at Reno, Langford tairly hounded Johnson for G WORLD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1918 ST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YOR THAT RED CROSS SHOW Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) a match, He knew he could whip} Johnson. After knocking out all opponents who would meet him, Langford went | to Australia where he fought several | tough battles with Sam McVey, an-| other tremendously powerful - black fighter. Sam was slipping into fat| then. His descent since has been} radual, Langford was the only eavyweight I've ever seen who could | get into a ring hog-fat and fight like demon, Fat didn't seem to stop| him for long time. | B Harry Wills, a negro 6 feet 5 inch 4 tall—nearly @ foot over Sam—who was nearly Sam's equal in skill and hitting power ume they fought a ten-round draw Then they fought in California, Wills | knocked Lanford down twice in the early rounds, The sight of Langford | on the floor was a novelty then! But UT at last he met his match in! The first | Sam knocked Wills out in the four- teenth round, After that Langford, in New Orleans, lost a twenty-round de cision to Wills, Then he knocked | Wills out in nineteen rounds, fought a ten-round draw with him, and was Isnocked out by Wills, And now Wills has stopped Sam in seven rounds. He has taken the mastery, and although only thirty-two years old, Langtord will never wo ahead of him. asain Like his famous rival of welterweiht 4 Joe Walcott, “Langford ceased to be a “giant killer.” is done.
