Page from the October 1904 issue of Mitt Slingers Magazine...Much of this issue is devoted to the upcoming world championship contest between Sam Langford and Gunboat Smith at the newly renovated 12,000 seat Mutual Street Arena in Toronto...The champion has agreed to a 55-45 percent split of the purse and a similar split of the gate receipts and left the choice of the referee to the promoter Tom Flanagan...Flanagan in turn has consulted with the Ontario Sports Commission and the Canadian Professional Boxing Federation and agreed to call upon the services of veteran Toronto referee Joe Francis to act as third man in the ring despite objections from the Americans who had pushed for California's Ed Graney...
