8 Australian Battle Stirs Up a Big Championship Muddle MANY HE AFTER KETCHEL'S TITLE Sam Langford- King of Bunch, Too Big for Middleweight. Papke Comes Next MIDDLEWEIGHT title CLAIMANTS Have Smith, winner over l'apke. Hilly ropkc, Kenanee. Hugo Kelly, Chicago. Frank Klaus, Plttsburif. Montana Ran Sullivan, Frisco. Sambo Lanifforcl, Boston. fliuvii Twin Sullivan, Boston. Tom McMahor, New York. Frank Mantfll, PBWtucket, And about 100 others. Three hips for the middleweights. They have stirred up something for the ring fans to talk about. When Billy Papke went after some Australian sucker money the other day and failed to land he started a bunch of pros and cons that will last for a year. Without the least bit of trouble a dozen as pirants can be called who are willing to fit in on the throne left without an occupant when Stanley Ketchel came to such an untimely end, and each and every one of them will admit that he has a perfect right to claim the honor. Some of the aspirants can be elimi nated in a breath. With 158 pounds ns the middleweight limit. Bam Langford is discarded as impossible. Were he able to scale the notch, the Boston tar baby would loom up in the nock opposed to hint like Jack Johnson does over Salinas Jack Burns. But regard leas of what Joe Woodman has to say on the subject, no person who has seen the husky black peeled down to fight ing costume is willing to bet he can scale middleweight poundage. With Lang-ford out of the way, it looks very much like Papke is the bell cow, regardless of what happened to him in the antipodes. Ketchel was the acknowledged peer of the 158 pounders, yet many fans remember how Papke disposed of the Assassin when they met at Vernon a couple of years ago. Mis management cost Papke his title, for Tom Jones, now handling Wolgast, sent him right back against Ketchel and defeat was the result. * One boy that must not be overlooked when figuring on who might be who were an elimi nation contest to be staged Is Montana Dan Sullivan. Even the boy's limited experience •nd one town reputation does not keep the experts who have seen him perform from stumping him as good as any In the business. The San Francisco writers are a unit in de claring him a good bet against any man his weight, and Sullivan will be heard from a whole lot before another year has been torn oft the pugilistic calendar. But read these Associated Press dispatches: LEMON CHAMPION TALKS SEATTLE, Dec. 28.—"Dave-Smith, the Syd ney middleweight, w"»o so successfully beat Fupke the other daj in Australia, is now the world's champion of that class, accord ing to my figuring," paid Tommy Bums, for mer heavyweight champion of the world, last nipht. '•Smith has a. clear right to the title with out going to any roundabout figuring to prove , i- as Papke was without doubt the cham pion after Ketehe.l's death. I know there are a lot of ambitious fighters who laid claim to the dead man's laurels as soon as the word was out that he was gone, but Papke Is the only one who had a right. Ketehel defeated Papke after having lost his first fight to him, nnrt Papke was easily the best of the others. Now that Smith downed him, there Is no reason why the tltie sould not go with the victory. "I know Smith woll and know htm for a good man and one who will climb even further. He is just aMr kid now, looks too heavy fer a middleweight, but he can make the limit easily enough at present. In a few years he will be out for the heavyweight ti tle." KELLY ON THE JOB CHICAGO. Dec. M.—Hugo Kelly, the prise fighter. Fald last night he would claim the middleweight championship of the world be cause of the defeat of Billy rapke at the hands of Dave Smith In the Antipodes, Blnc« {Stanley Ketehel was killed the title ha? been claimed by all the middleweight!

Now that the coveted record is made the little car is not to stop running, but will be kept at it, night and day, until the motor actually stops, though it may take weeks, months and years; and it is predicted that such a volum inous mileage will bo piled up that it will not be equaled by any car for a long time to come. The previous rec ord of 10.074 miles has been held by a Maxwell car for nearly a year. When the Lord Motor Car company decided to put the Flanders "20" on this non-stop run it was with the de sire only to hold the Pacific coast rec ord for such a run, but when that rec ord was made and the engine >vas still running well it was a foregone con clusion that, barring accidents, the Flanders would get all records. Yes terday saw the realization of the pre diction. The record la strictly an official one under all the condition! laid down by the contest board of the A. A, A. for such a non-stop run by a strictly stock car. Roy P. Hlllman of the official A. A. A. board for California, and president of the Automobile club of South •in California, started the car on Its way at noon of December -. with on observer ap pointed by the Auto club, under whose aus pices the contest has been made, and never for one minute since that time has the car ben out of the control of one of the official observers. ONE TIRE CHANGE MADE Too much cannot be said of the wonderful driving record of the four drivers who have alternated at the wheel and guided It not only through the bm>y streets of the city, but far out into 'he country, visiting all nearby towns, and yet nursing the car so tenderly that there has not been the slightest mishap, and but one necessary tire change, and that due to unavoidably running over a broken botrie, which necessitated changing the front tires after having covered 7500 miles of the record breaking distance. The wonderful dur ability of Morgan & Wright Urea has been tested In a manner that comes but once In a lifetime, and today they look almost as fresh as when put on the car. Welnstock-Nichols company, distributor for these tires, plan sending this set of tires on a visiting trip to all coast agents when they are finally taken from the car, but, as stated last night, they are good for many thousand* of miles yet, and the Flanders certainly will not falter for a : ing time to come. The car is also equipped with Splltdorf magneto and a Stewart speed ometer, both of which have worked without a hitch on this world breaking run. When it was realized that the world's rec ord would be broken today the car was asked to do tho phenomenal mileage of 427 miles in the last twenty-four hours, so that it could be taken down in front of tlie big auto show at Fiesta park and photographed In mid afternoon for the admiration of the thou sands of show visitors, who have been in tensely interested in the run. and who have stoop In crowds before the bulletin boards In the Lord Motor Car company's show space in the big teat. +-»-+ MEN'S SINGLES TENNIS CONTEST BEGINS TODAY Play will begin in the men's single* tourna ment on the courts of the Mt.
