GET THIS ONE DESCRIPTION OF BASEBALL BY LONDON SCRIBE

(From the London Mornijig Post.) The Candlan military side, .consisting mostly of men from, one of the convalescent homes, and a team of London Americans played a Becond match at Queen's Club on Saturday for the fund for widows and orphans of Canadian soldiers. Among those who had given their patronage to these baseball matches as a means of assisting the charity were Earl Grey, the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Mr. Balfour, and Mr. Robert P.iSklnner, the United States consulgeneral. The lord mayor of London visited Queen's Club and gave practical support to the match, for in addition to a brief talk with the players he undertook the task of pitching the first hall. After this beginning the teams settled Sown and gave a demonstration of the game that was quite typical of the

manner in which It is played in the

great cities of the "United States and Canada. The bantering and the exhortation all part of the. game from the various "corners" of the crowd were quite propeily fulfilled. ' Such "music seemed strange to English ears. It was at least amusing and made It possible to imagine what a real baseball show is like, on the "other side." It was a hard and skilful match, and the Canadians won with a score of 8 runs to 4. It was when the Canadians were in for the eighth time that the issue was determine under something like protest from tho Americans. The umpire had decide 1 a nice point on the question of running to second base for Canada. It brought on him a storm of argument, but he stood to his guns. As a result of the two matches at Queen's a sum of more than 200 has bee-n raised for this fund for Canadian soldiers' widows and orphans.

LANGFDRD IS ALL II

By K. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Corresponaesi-? NEW TORK. July 6. Admittedly always one of the best In his class, but always shunned by champions, black and white, Sam Langford, negro heavyweight, is through. He fought, them all, Sam did. Ho never barred any of the heavyweights. He lost fights plenty of them, but he won most of them. His defeat at the hands of Fred Fulton. Minnesota heavy. Is something no man has accomplished In a decisive fashion since he began wrecking hopes of nearchampions. Gunboat Smith one had an idea he had stopped the career of Langford as a prominent heavyweight when he outpointed the black demon in Boston in 1913. He was so confident he went back for more and Sam stopped him. Harry Wills defeated Langford in, 1916, and in his very next fight Sam popped AVillis nn the chin and stopped him. Sam Mc-

Vcy and Joe Jeanette both have victories to their credit over Langford. but Langford has knocked out both these rivals. Since Langford began boxing as a featherweight his record runs down the list of great fighters in every division. He fousht Joe Gans when Joe was a

whizz and he won In fifteen rounds. He

outpointed Young Grlffo. the marvel. He stopped "Willie Lewis, fought a draw with Joe AValcott, and lost to Jack Johnson before Jack became champion. Jim Barry, now dead, was a persistent challenger of Langford and Sam always v.-es accomodating. He stopped Jim several times and won many other victories over him. Jeanette, Wills and McVey appear many, many ' times in Langford's record and he holds the best of these clashes by a good margin. Langford was the only man Jack Johnson really feared when Johnson was champion. 'He was the only man Johnson ief used consistently to have anything to do with. When Jim Jeffries was champion Langford was little better than a middleweight, but he was fighting heavyweights even then. Langford challenged Johnson repeatedly Many efforts were made to get Johnson to meet him, but Johnson paid the Boston tar-baby the 'compliment of always squirming awjy.
