	"Sam Langford, Boston, with an advantage of about 10 pounds in weight, fought Philadelphia Jack O'Brien to a standstill in four and one half rounds last night at the Twentieth Century Club. Referee Charley White prevented a knockout when he stopped the bout in the middle of the 5th round. O'Brien was practically out from the effects of a hard left hook to the jaw and had to be helped to his corner. The pace was fast from the beginning and O'Brien showed clever footwork as well as scientific boxing. At the end of the 2nd round, O'Brien was bleeding from the nose and mouth and was cautioned frequently for holding. Langford put O'Brien twice to the floor in the 3rd round. O'Brien taking nine seconds on the second fall. O'Brien was weak but managed to stall along until the bell gave him a respite. There was no question as to O'Brien's gameness as he took a lot of punishment in the 4th and was fighting hard in the 5th until Langford landed the finishing blow." - Associated Press		"Sam Langford, Boston, with an advantage of about 10 pounds in weight, fought Philadelphia Jack O'Brien to a standstill in four and one half rounds last night at the Twentieth Century Club.
