Herriman Saturday: March 19 1910
March 19 1910 -- Three days after Sam Langford knocked out Fireman Jim Flynn, Herriman finally weighs in with a comment that the "lily white club" of fighters had better get used to Sam Langford, like the cat in the old song, to just keep on coming back. Next in Langford's sights is an easy mark, Jim Barry. After a short run of wins when he went pro in 1907, Barry's record has been sinking steadily. He's just off an uncharacteristic string of four wins, though, so Langford can take him on without seeming like he's just taking easy pickings.
