From the afternoon edition of The Boston Crier September 1904....Sam Langford returns to Toronto after a visit to his folks in Nova Scotia and a tour of his properties there and in Montreal...Some newspapers make more of his injuries in a motor car wreck than were actually sustained...Gunboat Smith has already begun his training camp, having been inactive since his thrilling win at Madison Square Garden in June over Frank Moran the Pittsburgh slugger...Many US experts have dubbed that fight for Smith's NABF title the best of 1904 for sheer action...Many promotions may have failed to materialize this summer, but Hazard's Pavilion in Los Angeles saw a good punchup between Luther McCarty "The Fightin' Cowboy" and big Al Palzer of Iowa...McCarty easily outpointed Palzer over 12 rounds but the burly farmboy kept trying and was virtually unmarked at the final bell...Palzer's manager is looking for a rematch this fall...Fighting at Manhattan's Brown's Arena, Carl Morris delivered a terrific beating to Art Beaudoin the Montreal pugilist...The handsome French Canadian was hampered by a damaged left paw and Morris' extra thirty pounds...Repeated blows to the nether regions didn't exactly help Beaudoin's situation...Referee Charlie White was castigated in the Montreal press for turning a blind eye to Morris' illegal tactics...
