Feb. 21 'IB A new world opened warm and inviting arms today to old Sam Langford as Boston's legendary "tar baby" sat blind and. penniless in. his frigid, dingy room in Harlem. A group of New York business men and women launched a nation-wide drive for contributions that might lift the once-great Negro pugilist out of his poverty and provide the 57-year-old gladi ator with enough money so he can. at least keep buying some oaccy lor nis pipe. Langford is broke and blind now. Gone is the roar of the crowd that accompanied his amaz ing performances during 642 pro fessional fights. Gone is the gol den harvest that meant so little to. him when the whole world seemed his friend. Dpea Not Understand The brown-skinned gnome-like man, with the sawed-off pudgy body and derrick shoulders and basket-like hands cannot under stand his poverty because he can only feel it the cold and the hunger, and the absence of tobac co and the absence of visitors as he sits alone In his cubicle of a room with only his memories to remind him that he is not dead.

CorrOTpondent) Chicago, IU. lift "Bazzle dazzle baseball," the plan pro posed by Ray Dumont, president of the National Baseball congress, to add color to the national sport, will receive its first serious test in one of the semi-pro tourna ment games this year, the con gress decided recently. Dumont has been advocating his plan, which allows "base, run ning in reverse," since he decided last year that baseball needs mod ernization to keep Its place as an outstanding spectator sport. "There aren't enough possibili ties for play the way the rules stand now," he said. "We need more confusion orderly of course to make the gatne wide open offensively." Must Pick Path Dumont wants to give the bat ter the choice of running to third base for first base. Runners would have to continue, in the di rection they started and there would be no limit to the number of men on each base. "Some in teresting cases would arise," he said, "but the spectators would love it and their dollars would roll in." For example, the first man up could get to first base in the con ventional manner lilt the ball and arrive before the fielders could throw him out The second man could get a base on balls, electing to go to third, fixing the offensive team men on first and third. The next batter could sacrifice both of his teammates putting them on second. The cleanup man's single would. If he ran the usual way, put two men on first and one on third. Three on First?
