Article clipped from The Los Angeles Herald...It is reported over five hundred thousand dollars exchanged hands in what is described as the biggest upset in professional sports exceeding even last year's World Series win by the Chicago White Sox...The promoters secured a major fight for the only other bout on the card matching England's Tom Cowler and the US champion Joe Jeannette in a 10 round contest...The fight ended in the second round when a shop-worn Jeannette was knocked to the ground repeatedly, forcing his corner to throw in the towel...Joe, who turned 34 recently, admitted he took the fight for the money and was hanging up the gloves for good...Cowler told reporters after the fight that he greatly admired Jeannette and was sorry to be the one to send him into retirement...Cowler then issued a challenge to Luther McCarty after learning that the new champion had no intention of ever giving Sam Langford a rematch...McCarty declared he had won the title and was taking it back to "the good old USA" where it belonged...[Ed. Watching the fight unfold it looked like Langford was way ahead (6-2-1) then McCarty landed a big shot to the head at the end of round ten that had Sam on wobbly pins and carried over into the 11th with McCarty hammering Langford with flurries of punches before referee Tim Hurst stopped it.]
