-V \,i fV'l .v '. lETKHEL'S WORK IS CAIiSiNfi TALK New York, July 20.—Stanley Ket 4$kel'8 failure to knock BUI Papke lltot Inside of twenty rounds at Colma recently will probably be discussed for •Ome time to come. Sporting men, as •grille, still regard Ketchel as a phe Hymenal pugilist and predict that if he takes proper care of himself and it absolutely fit when he meets Jack •Johnson in October he will stand an ^Idellent chance of winning. But Ketchel's showing with Papke will not le passed over lightly, even though some critics are inclined to throw the flght out of their calculations, just as horse fiends treat erratic performances Ot racing thoroughbreds.. The fact that both of Ketchers hands were in jured is sufficient reason why he did not stop Papke. The fight up to the twelfth round proved that Ketchel was qisily the master, for Papke received ft* terrific walloping and was in much distress. But with both hands crip fled It was not at all strange that Ketchel's attack gradually became less itangerous, until Papke did not fear to ta,ke chances. Papke is a tough cus tomer anyway. Ketchel is the only ntfui that has ever defeated him, and y*t Papke is the only pugilist that has eirer put the Michigan lion away. As BBlddlewelghts they seem to be pretty •Venly matched, therefore, with this Important exception Papke can make 158 pounds any time without weaken ing his physical condition, while Ket chel finds this talk a positive hard ship. It ig a matter of fact that Papke la always close to the middle weight lud has never been compelled to do any great amount of hard work to keep his avoirdupois down to that mark. For this mHl Papke was ready for more than a week, his training con Wlsting of light exercise to keep his wind and limbs in proper condition. Ketchel, on the other hand, after a trip by easy stages from this city to 'Frisco, which consumed more than a week, took on so much weight that he was forced tcf indulge in strenuous road work right up to weighing in time in order to scale at 158. For this reason ring experts In California say that Satchel weakened himself and could not have been in the same trim which enabled him to stop Jack O'Brien In time. They us® as proof of this Statement the fact that Ketchel be gan to show signs of weariness after tilree rounds had been fought, which, in their opinion, was an indication of •taleness. Ketchel had been in active training without letup except during the trip to California from the first of March, so that the argument that he may have been overtrained 1b Tworthy of credence. If Ketchel is wise he will never at tempt to reduce to the middleweight limit again. By taking a rest until the first of September It Is believed that he can then begin training for the Johnson fight with the prospect of be ing in better physical shape than ever b«fore. Two months of leisure, It is thought, wHl put so much weight upon Ketchel's powerful frame that he can get into the ring with the big negro weighing at least 176 pounds, perhaps more. Ketchel, according to good judges, should have the physique and stamina of Tom Sharkey when he meets Johnson with greater hitting power than the famous sailor possess ed when he went twenty-five rounds With Jeffries at Coney Island. Weight and strength mean everything In & pugilist's makeup, and in a fight with Johnson, Ketchel will need plenty of both. Thunderbolt Can Punch. Profound respect for Papke's terrific punches probably made Ketchel un usually cautious, for the Michigan lion did not adopt the aggressive rushing tactics shown in his second bout with O'Brien. Competent ring judges do not jnigard Johnson as in Papke's class as puncher, and consequently they see no reason why Ketchel should .adopt dilatory tactics when he hooks up with the colored champion. Johnson's un willingness to fight more than twenty rounds with Ketchel, in view of the latter's mill with Papke, seems to be well understood now. The negro, be cause of his superior height and weight undoubtedly believes that he can stall with Ketchel and receive a decision on points. Whether he can or not it may be said that if Ketchel weighs 175 or 180 pqunds and his hands do not go back on his, -Johnson •will be subjected to the most severe test he has ever experienced. It Is a difficult matter to knock out a man this kind. Papke evidently made up his roind that he would take no Chances, for he clinched and covered tip whenever Ketchel reached him With a staggering punch in the early rounds. That Johnson will adopt sim ilar tactics appears to be a foregone conclusion, for that was his policy in the fight with Burns In Australia.

BASEBALL MS JY CUE NEXT SEASON New York, July 20.—The American association has supplied the baseball world with a great deal of winter gossip ever since it was organized in 1902. It was supposed that when the two fighting factions in the associa tion were brought together last year and harmony was brought about with the big league, that peace would reign for some time to come. But it is evi dent that the association will be the storm center again next winter. There have been reports from time to time that property had been purchased in Chicago by American association mag nates for the purpose of putting in a club in that city and invading the territory of the major leagues. The rumors have been denied and Presi^ dent O'Brien of the American associa tion has also denied this, tut from the talk that is coming out from dif ferent points along the A. A. ^circuit it seems very evident that t'lere will be something doing. The association had an opportunity to get into Chicago a year ago, and had it done so at that time it is a hundred-to-one shot that the major leagues would not have opposed it In fact, it was whispered around that if the association magnates had been a little more diplomatic in their dealings they could have obtained permissiou 7 i .»-Vs- J"' 1*' V-. It has been intimated that St. Paul would be the club to be shifted to Chicago, and it is a pretty good guess that George Lennon's club will be the one to go. The north side of Chicago in a city of over 500,000 in itself, and the baseball "fans" of that section have very little opportunity to get down town week days or Sundays to attend ball games. The semi-pros out in that neighborhood have drawn im mense crowds on Sundays, and it is only natural that if a big minor league like the association should enter there the attendance would be even greater than at the semi-pro parks. The in dications are that the baseball kettle will be boiling for keeps after the close of the present season until the opening of the 1910 campaign. MoALEER GOOD MANAGER. John McCloskey Says He Deserves Better Support From the Critics. Manager John J. McCloskey, of the Milwaukee club is of the opinion that Jimmy McAleer, manager of the St. Louis Browns, is deserving of more support than he is receiving in the mounJ city, e-en though his team is down in the race. Speaking of St. Louis and the building up of baseball teams, Manager McClosksaid: "When a ball ter.m is run down the best way to do is to start at the bottom and reconstruct the whole bus iness. There is only one way to get a winning ball team and that is, to get hold of young players and de velop them as you go along. "It takes from twi to three years and som ti- four to develop these young players and whip them into championship form. The trouble at St. Louis has been or at least was when I was these, with Mr. Robinson himself. Stanley Robinson was the head of the club, but he wanted to run things himself. If he had kept away and left things alone and in my hands I think the result would have been different. I do not say that I would have been away up in the race at that time. But I do claim that I was get ting to that point where I had a team that would be fighting for the pen nant. To prove that, look at the men whom I developed from youngsters. "There was Jimmy Murray, Ray mond, Fromme, Konetchy, Byrne, Sal lee, Charley Shaw and Delehanty, all youngsters who proved themselves stars of t"..e first magnitude. Had these men been kept together and a little strength added, why the team would have been one of *.he best in the National league. The Boston Amer icans were shot to pieces when the old members began to fall away and the same can be said of the Philadelphia Athletics. You will notice that Connie Mack has built up the Athletics with young players and Boston has done the same. These teams are now among the strongest in the American league. "Jimmy McAleer Is a competent baseball man, but probably it would be better if he were a little more ag gressive. He has the ability and I believe if given a little more chance he will make good. There is no rea son why he should not. It was from youngsters whom the late Frank Selee picked up that the present Chicago National league clilb sprung. In my opinion a big baseball club can well afford to experiment and develop a few youngsters at al times, for it is few youngsters at all times, for It is stars'" LANGFORD MUST ACCEPT. Hall Threatens to Withdraw Offer for Middleweight Fighter. EBy, Nev., July 20.—Tex Hall, Who recently offered a purse of $30,000 for a meeting between Sam Langford and Stanley Ketchel in Ely on Labor day, announced today that unless Langford accepts the proposition by midnight tonight, Hall's forfeit will be with drawn. Hall offered Ketchel $25,000 and Langford $5,000, but the black man so far has declined to sign a contract. He wants more money. Hall says un less Langford signs up the match will be declared oft and two other bouts will be arranged instead. &SPeS v THE PRESENT POLITICAL ASPECT OP WASMiMGTON. ZJ7VO £WSr m. 'J from the national commission to en ter Chicago. However, those days have passed and now the national commission is not in such a peaceful frame of mind. It is a question whether the major leagues would wage war on the as sociation in case it entered Chicago, for war is very costly and none is anxious to have it. Beverly, Mass., July 20.—The Rey. P. H. Drake, pastor of the First Unl versalist church, which the Taft family attends, has created a sensation In this staid old Puritan town by de claring himself in favor of Sunday baseball and other sports, such as ten nis, or golf, in the afternoon. "I would urge that as good a way as any to spend Sunday would be that everyone attend at least some good undogmatic church, just as a sugges tion for self-improvement," he says, "and then go home and read or go to the beach or play baseball, croquet, tennis or golf, and be juat aa happy as it Is possible to be." The Rev. Mr. Drake is a yonng man and the Beverly church is one of his first charges. He is a graduate of Tufts, and has always taken a keen interest in athletics. "Sunday is the safety valve of the civilized world," he says. PAPKE WANTS FIFTH Los Angeles .July 20.—The husky Papke team, Billy Ed, left for Chicago. Their most important bits of luggage were a fat pocketbook and a well-worn whisk broom. The latter will be used again in Chicago, where the Kewanee knight will sweep up $800 for one week's stc.ge engagement. That Billy entirely is satisfied with the showing he made during his last stay in California is shown by his present slogan, which is, "I want Ketchel." Brother Ed telephoned these words to all the local news papers before leaving: "We want another ht with Ketch el, and we want it to be a finish af fair," said Ed. "I still maintain that the Colma decision was wrong, no matter what the press may say. The only way Bill could have won would have been for him to knock Ketchel cold. Billy outboxed and outfought Ketchel, and the moving pictures will prove all we claim. There -. ere small chances for Billy to get the decision. All Ketchel had to do to win was to be on his feet at the finish. You mark my words, those moving pictures will cause a sensation when they are shown in the east. The Alms will prove that Billy got the raiweet kind of a raw deal. "About the Flynn flghs we haven't any kick to make on the draw decis ion. Billy gave away a big lot of weight to Flynn, who is one, of the biggest rough-house fighters in the world. It was to Billy's credit that he used his brains, and not only cut Flynn all to pieces, but prevented the husky fireman from so much as put ting a scratch on him in return. Turn Flynn loose in a bar-room with a bot tle in either hand and I will back him to whip a regiment. That's where he shines." Billy let Ed do most of the talking, but when Ketchel's name is mention ed the lightweight gets interested. "There's one man that I can whip," said Billy quietly. "They slipped it to me in San Francisco, but the next time it will be a different story." Huh, another Papke-Ketchel fight? It's worse than a hajit—it's an epi demic. Big Jim Barry, the heavyweight, ar rived in Los Angeles tonight. Four teen days ago Barry left Paris, and he has been traveling continually ever since. "I am going to challenge Al Kaufman for a ten or twenty round fight on a winner-take-al] ba sis," said Barry. "That's what I aame to the coast for." Monuments. A. W.

Chicago, July 20.—Dr. Rudolf n Menn of this city tonight placed «n authoritative seal ..pon the story th Baron Oscar Rothschild, the youngest son of Baron Albert Rothschild of Vi enna, had killed himself because of Ms family's opposition to his mar ige with Olgj. Menn, the physician's fining and beautiful daughter. The doctor told of his daughter's meeting with the young baron when he arrived in Chicago with a party of friends en route to Europe from the Orient a few weeks ago. A friend of the nobleman was taken 111 and was sent to the German hospital, where Dr. Menn is a staff physician. The baron met the doctor's daughter and from that first meeting they were together much of the time that the young man was in Chicago. Not more than a week after meet ing Miss Menn, the doctor said, Roths child made a proposal of marriage to his daughter. He was accepted and left soon afterward for Vienna with the promise that Miss Menn and her mother would follow. He expected that his father would not consent to his marriage with an American girl, but thought that the young woman's beauty would win him over. The baron cabled his father, but the reply was not encouraging. Young Rothschild then wanted to marry Miss Menn at once, but Dr. Menn refused to allow this, and the baron sailed for Europe to plead with his father. A short time ago the girl and her mother sailed. "You can realize what a shock the news of her fiance's death was to my daughter," said the doctor. "Olga was expecting Baron Oscar to Join her at Hamburg and take her and her mother on to Vienna. They were there to be introduced to the baron's family. They expected to go with the Rothschilds to their summer home in the south of Austria and they were to be entertained, according to the young man's plans. "They were an ideal couple, he with his manly grace and bearing and she with her soft, delicate beauty. Now it is all over. A young girl's life is ruined and a fine young man lies in a suicide's grave. I am quite sure that the father of the young baron who shot himself rather than live without my daughter now grieves over his opposition to the marriage. I fully expect that he will meet my wife and daug'iter and take care of them until I can reach the other side. The girl la desperate and cannot be consoled. I do not believe Oiga will ever outlive this gruat sorrow. Her mother cables that she has given her self up to grief." INTERSTATE FAIR Get your signs painted and booths decorated by the N. D.
