Sam Langford, the "Boston Tar
iTfay," may be old and a veteran of
ni.inir rino- hart es. Innc antf short.
ut when it comes to swinging both
nittens the ol' boy is still there.
Friday night, in the main event of
"in athletic show staged by the
Theodore R6oscvelt colored post of
the American Legion at the City
iaditorium, Langford and Lee An
derson, Portland. Ore., recognized
light heavyweight champ of the
ebony scrappers, exchanged punches
in a 10-round encounter, with the
referee's decision going to the for
mer. The decision failed to meet the
approval of the fans. The western
Anuckle-shover was entitled to a
draw if nothing else. Time after
time he landed stiff rights and lefts
on Langford's mid-section and head
without a return.
While Anderson appeared to have
ihe better of the battling at long
grange, the ' "Boston Tar Baby"
'scored time after time when fighting
was at close range. Langford was
always willing to absorb a trio of
blows in order to connect with a
clean walloo. Fiehtinsr this style of
battle, the easterner seemed to be
at sea when battling at long range.
The Portland cruiser weight
started out by raining blows on
Langford's midsection. Before the
round ended the Boston 195-pounder
planted a couple of stiff jolts on
Anderson's jaw that made the latter

colored champ started playing a dif
ferent game. He would dance in,
connect with his left and then dance
out of danger. Langford, always the
aggressor, bored in continually from
the start, taking advantage of every
little opening in an endeavor to slip
over his famous sleep producer.
Rocks Anderson's Dome.
In the fourth Langford uncorked
an uppercut just before the bell that
made Anderson's dome resemble a
rocking chair. However, in me nun
the westerner bounced out of his
'corner, swung a right that connected
with Samuel's jaw and then repeated
with a left to the stomach. 1 ue aos
tonian grunted, bored in, sunk bis
right mitt in Anderson's stomach
and started in fighting.
Starting with the sixth the milling
clearly snowed Langford to the ad
vantage, especially when the two
mixed things in tight quarters, but
when it came to exchanging blow
for Mow in the open, Arderson was
superior to the veteran.
The westerner dropped his guard
at the start of the seventh and wad
ed into his opponent. A jolt to the
head shook Langford's dome and a
right to his stomach made him go
into a clinch as the bell sounded.
The champ earned a shade in the
eighth, while the ninth was even
with the "Boston Tar Baby" making
a good finish in the tenth.
In the semi-windup, Jack Taylor,
ccJored Cleveland scrapper, handed
good aruDDing to one uhi
Weighing 27 pounds less than his
opponent, the Buckeye battler cap
tured a margin in every one of the
four rounds. He dropped the "Bear
cat" in the second round for a
count and then proceeded to make
the evening a bad one for the local
fighter.
Battle 4-Round Draw.
Harrv Kinnear and "Kid" Bruno
fought a fooir-round draw in the ini
tial mill on the program, wnm:
"Happy" Malone was awarded a de
cision over Johnny Broz after their
scheduled four-round exhibition.
Bob Ferguson, middleweight, won
a decision over Ed Hunt in the

Ktromsburg Beats Sutton.
Stromsburg, Aug. 13. (Special.) In a
very exciting game here Stromsburg de
feated the fast Sutton bajl club, 4 to 3.
Sutton came well-backed with players
from Hastings and Grand Island but the
mighty Ole was too much for them.
Wright, the famous pitcher who has
nothing but the emry ball to offer, tried
to get by on these grounds as he did at
Sutton last Sunday but was called on
same several times. This caused consid
erable crabbing by the crabbiest ball team
that has played on the Stromsburg grounds
this season. Wright refused to pitch with
new balls, throwing same off the diamond
as fast as the umpire put them Into play.
The timely hitting of Pope featured.

game extraordinary will be played on tho
