Langford, Once Famous
Ring Heavyweight, Now
Blind and on Charity
By ROW AItl J. NKIIs, Aacoclnted Press Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, Feb. T.iP) A squat, black man. wide of shoulder, out
fumbling hi way, a cap drawn low over hi sightless eyes, following a
piloting friend in the aporta department today. It was 8am Langfoid,
the Boaton Tar Baby, once as groat a ring warrior as the heavyweights
knew.
He came for a check for $25
Baltimore admirer from the old days
sent him. In care of the Associated
Press, after learning that "Tham"
was having a tough time of it, blind
and helpless, holding hla Harlem
lodgings and finding hta po'k chops.
"Mighty nloe," said Sam. "Mighty
nice. Ah still got friends."
That's the same amount Langford
got for his first professional flgnt
in Boaton In 1901, when he knocked
out Jack MoVlckers. He fought them
all after that, from lightweights up
through the heavyweights. He never
weighed more than 170 pounds. Ho
lost a 10-round decision early In hla
career to Jack Johnson, knocked out
Harry Wills couple of times.
He fought for seven years with one
eye and no one knew It after Fred
Fulton connected with a right to his
temple In 1917.
He must have made hundreds of
thousands. He got as high a 110,300
for flattening Ian Hatg, champion of
England, In London In 1009. He's 49
now, absolutely destitute, and & cata
ract has blinded the eye Fulton loft
open.
"First thing X learned," he said,
"was you didn't break no knuckles
hlttln 'em In the body. So I hit
'em there. They sure come down whsn
you hit 'em right."
The toughest fight he ever had wm
the 1914 battle with Wills In Los
Angeles, when he was floored three
times In the first period, three more
In the second, again in the third, and
came back to knock the "Black Men
ace" out in the 14th.
. "Ah sure was glad to get rid of
that man that night," he said.
But the greateat fighter of thim
all. In those days, was another negro.
Joe Walcott, the barbadoe Demon,
who never weighed a much as ..to
pound, yet knocked out good heavy
weight with a punch.

Is looked forward to with much
anticipation by the locals as It is
the first time they have met a team

the new combination they hope to
give the Corvallls team a run for
their money.
Small admission will be charged.
A good crowd Is expected aa the
boys have gone to quite a little
expense In bringing the Corvallls
team here. A good preliminary will
start at 7:00 o'clock, followed Im
mediately by the main game.

$600 Fund Needed To Send

ASHLAND, Prt. 7. (Spl.) A splen.
did start on the fund to send the
Southern Oregon Normal school bas
ketball team to the national A. A. V.
tournament In Denver, March 18 to
33, waa made Tuesday when the Ash.
land city council unanimously voted
to arproprlate 1300 and donate the
sum to the team.
City Attorney Prank J. VanDyke
Introduced the plan to the council,
and pointed out the advertising bene
fits that would accrue to the city if
the team from Ashland entered the
meet, and what unfavorable adver.
tislnjt would be derived through fail
ure to respond. The motion to grant
the money was made by -Councilman
Gerald Wenner.
Other Cities to Help.
It Is the hope of civic leaders and
Normal school authorities that sim
ilar amount may be obtained from
other southern Oregon cities, for the
Normal school Is considered to be
representative of the whole district.
The plan would provide for the apon-
soring of two players by esch city
and those players would carry the
name or tnelr sponsoring city em
blazoned across their basketball jer
seys.
In regard to the co-operation neces
sary to raise the required funda, the
Ashland Tidings yesterday snld edi
torially: "Money is the stumbling block
In many a good plan, and this la
the situation as far aa the ent
rance of the SONS basketbsll
tesm In the national basketball
tournament In Denver, according
to Coach Hobson. Six hundred
dollars, the amount required to
defray the expenses to the tour
nament, Is a lot of money, too.
but It seems that there should be
some plan whereby this amount
could be raised by southern Ore
gon supporters of the Norma!
school. Two hundred dollars has
been contributed by the city
council.
"Maybe a btg party or celebra
tion or gathering of some sort,
where the privilege would be ex
tended for all to throw a dollar
or more In the pot, could be
staged, with Ashland. Medford,
Grants Pass and all the Inter
vening territory Joining to make
possible this opportunity for the
SONS to strut their stuff In fast
company.
"The writer cannot but remem
ber a small city of 3.000 where
we formerly lived, which raised
3.500 to .nd Its city high school
band back east to participate In
a national band contest.
"Every cent of the aa.500 was
contributed by the cltliens and
business men of the one city of
1.000 population. That was an
average of more than a dollar per
eltlnsn, where as In this ease, In
which Medford Is especially In
terested, too, the per capita cost
would be so much smaller."

AID!
IT WAS LINCOLN, wasn't it, who gave us that epigram
about fooling some of the people all of the time and all
of the people some of the time? Times have changed.
Some people, today, can't be fooled at all.
They are the ones who buy thoughtfully and spend
wisely. They are guided by the most up-to-the-minute
news about products, prices and values. They read the
advertisements in the daily paper.
Whether you're marketing for tonight's dinner, for
a refrigerator or for a home the most reliable guides
are printed right here in this paper for you.
Make it a habit to shop at home, by newspaper, before
you set out. It saves time . . . saves tiresome searching
. . . and it saves real money.

his players so that his first string

games against the strongest available

That was Hobson'a first year here.

of 66 games. Last season was cli

This season his team dropped Its
