Blind Negro, Once Greet
Fighter, Glad to Get
Smell Gift
NEW YORK. Feb. 7. A squat. ]
black man. wide of shoulder but
rumbling Ins way, a cap drawn low
over his sightless eyes, followed a
piloting friend into the sports de
partment Thursday. It was Sam
Langford, the Boston tar baby, once
as great a ring warrior as the heavy- J
weights knew. .
He came for a check for $25 a
Baltimore admirer from the old days
sent him. In care of the Associated
Press, after learning that "Thani"
was haung a tough time of It. blind
and helpless, holding his Harlem
lodgings and finding his pok chops.
• Mighty nice." said Sam. "Mighty
nice. Ah still got friends”
That's the same amount Langford
got for his first professional fight
in Boston in 1901 when he knocked
out Jack McVickers. He fought them
all after that, from lightweights up
through the heavyweights. He never
weighed more than 170 pounds. He
lost a 10-round decision early in his
career to Jack Johnson, knocked out
Harry Wills a couple of times.
Sam's Secret
He 1 ought 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 as $10,000
for flattening Ian Haig, champion of
England, in London in 1909. He's 49
now. absolutely destitute, and a
cataract has blinded the eye Fulton
left him.
“First thing I learned.'" he said.,
• was you didn’t break no knuckles
hittin’ 'em m the body. So I hit ’em
there. They sure come down when
yon hit 'em right,”
The toughest fight he ever had
the 114 battle with Wills. Wills
in Los Angeles, when he was nailed
with a right under the gun. was
floored three times in the first round,
three more tn the second, again in
the third, and carre back to knock
the “black menace’’ out tn the 14th
“Ah sure was glad to get rid of
that man that night.” he said.

Under prevailing conditions, with

Denny Shute, former British open

Paula Stone is not only a good
pupil but a loyal one. By loyal
I mean that she has stuck to her
instructions and refused to kid
herself when things were going
wrong.
1 Without practice, she was
called upon to play in a foursome
with her father, Fred Stone. Near
the end of the round she was
missing her tee shots badly. The
rest of the foursome wanted to
play another 18, but Paula re
fused.
Instead of playing she put in
the afternoon on the practice tee.
She found that her left arm was
not swinging back properly. She
was raising the club up with arms
and hands instead of first wind
ing up the body.
By first winding up hips and
shoulders and then moving her
left arm backward while lifting
it away from her chest Paula
regained the power she was ac
customed to developing in her
backswing.
When you are going badly do
you go to the practice ground for
rep or keep on playing?

HOOK. LOPEZ
HARDJTWORK
Indianapolis Slufgar It
Training 3:30 P. M.
At V. F. W. Arena
Realizing that they are uj for the
toughest tests they have had in a
long time, Henry Hook, No. 1 ban*
tam operating in the Southwest, and
"Ouero" Lopez, grim little Monter
rey battler who has never lost *
fight in this section, are training
hard lor their tight at the V. T. W.
arena Monday night.
This light has all the elements of
a "natural" and it should bring out
a capacity crowd.
Lopez has a strong following ovar
northern Mexico and he ia rated aa
one of the best bantams in the south
ern Republic. Brownsville fans be
came convinced of his claae when
they saw him cut down Midget Aa
tec and Bamlito m decisive fashion
without wasting time on preliminary
flourishes.
At that time the fans asked for a
Lopez-Hook fight but suitable terms
could not be arranged.
Hook came to the Valley three
weeks ago and easily defeated Kid
Bruno Salazar, erstwhile favorite,
and Kid Laredo, a clever boxer, with
out extending himself. Hook is work
ing for a crack at Baby Casanova
and Anzmendi, the last named being
the champion recognized by the If.
Y. boxing commission.
Lope? should gnv Hook a much
better fight than did Bruno and La
redo; and It is no certainty that
Lopez will not win. The grim little
fellow is not spectacular but his
short, accurate punching has wilted
every opponent the local boxing pro
moter has been able to book for
him.
Hook is working out in the V. F.
, W nng each afternoon at 3:30 p. m.
and fans are invited to watch his
1 work.
Lopez is in Matamoros and is
working out with Manuel Jaramilo
and "Gorilla" Morales.
The second ten-rounder Monday
night will pit Midget Aztec and
"Lefty" Zeneda. Brownsville slugger,
in a re-match. Zepeda fooled all the
critics last Monday night bv getting
a draw with Aztec at Harlingen.
