[Special Dispatch to The Call] •-;-
SACRAMENTO, June 29. — If the.Sen
tors ever had the jinks on the Seals,
Danny Long's finny tribe t#day squared
it. Not only did they play rings around
the home guard, but they cut the
string and the whole Sacramento team
\u25a0went soaring in the sixth inning, giv
ing Jimmy Whalen a sort of support
that could easily strain coffee. Six
runs were piled up by the Seal?, and.
although the score might show one of
" them was earned, is was only because
. the Sacramento fielders neglected to
•. think. • :",- .:\u25a0\u25a0
"Caek" Henley it was who made the
• Senators stumble. He had a fine as
' sbrtment of benders that were
S straightened out but twice, and in only
one inning, the fifth, did the locals
have- a chance to gather. Usually, the
best they could get was a succession
of pop ups.
: .The Seals put their first run over
without the aid of a hit. when Tennant
made second on Gandil's muff of an
easy pop. A sacrifice put him on third,
and when Raymer robbed Melchoir of
a. hit ,by a barehand staty Tommy
peered. Zeider's drive to left which
Doyle ran over to get. but dropped,
started the Sacramento toboggan in
the sixth. Whalen and Janslng
watched Mohler lay one down and Ten
nant 'and Bodie singled in succession.
The Senators started to pegging the
hall wildly here, and it ended up by
Jansing heaving far into right field,
everybody on base scoring.
That another run was squeezed over
in the seventh mattered not. The score:

CROWD MARVELS AS KETCHEL
WALLOPS SPARRING PARTNERS
Michigan Lion Rushes in With Both; Hands for Nine^FasK
\ . and Snappy Rounds .
WILLIAM J. SLATTERY
NO fighter of any weight, sire or claim toiclass over electrified a crowd
at a training camp as did Stanley Ketchel yesterday 'afternoon. We
have seen them all in the past and we have marveled at their various
stunts7~but to Ketch goes the palm for pulling the spectacular and
getting by with it. He did everything from breaking the rope on his punch
ing bag on three occasions to staggering his three husky sparring partners.
Had there been anything else on the afternooa's- menu there is no question
that the Michigan lion would have responded. * He was accommodating
and vicious and entertaining all in one. "'-".' * " I|§ll ;•
Fitzsimmons, Jeffries, Terry McGovern, Bat Nelson and the other tearing
fighters -probably could have performed the same sortof work in the' same
stirring manner in the past had they tried, but they did not. Then it must
be said that Ketch has- an edge on the whole of them; 'He tried and: he
made food! He did not care how far he went, so long as the effect was there.
The crowd applauded and marveled and went away saying what a wonder he
was. This is what the middle weight champion looked forward to, and even
if he was not expecting the same, it came anyhow, so all was well.
KETCHEL WORKS FEROCIOUSLY ;^~
In the past Ketchel has ever been knowjn as -a sort of. bear at the training
quarters, but he never acted quite so ferociouslj\in the past as he did 'yester
day. , The more work he performed, the more he wanted to perform. They
could not trot out sparring partners fast enough to please his fancy and seem
ingly he could not hit them hard enough to satisfy his craving for gore. He
wanted air the blood in the camp, and he wanted it quick.
First of all came Bob Armstrong, once king of the negro heavy weights,
and the man whom Jim Jeffries could not stop in 10 rounds 11 years ago in
New York. Though Armstrong is not so young nor so spry as hewas in the
good old days, he is still a shifty sort of a big fellow, who has never -lost his.
knowledge of the boxers art. Before the sparring bout was a round old, Arm
strong discovered that he needed all his ring science.
Ketchel tore right after him, using shifts, swings, straight ores, and, in
fact, everything at his command. Despite the clever blocking of the black
man Ketch put over many a hard one to the head and the body during those
three rounds. • Armstrong was a very tired shine at the finish, and he remarked
that Ketch was "one tough Indian."
Both men used those heavy gloves which cover the wrists as well as the
hands, but despite these protectors, every blow that landed, seemed to count.
Armstrong found a good many openings and jabbed several on the jaw of the
Michigan lion, and also feinted him out at will. But the longer he went the
more vicious Ketchel became, till, at the finish," he was looking to sneak in
a knockout. -X"***;-'.
MILLER GIVEN 3IERRT >VALLOPI>G '--.
Charley Miller, the portly German heavy weight, was the next to be served.
Miller came in for a merry walloping and stopped punch after punch/but
from appearances, he is far too good an actor to be wasting his talents in a
training camp. He could be taking knockout punches on the stage for a music
hall with a guarantee of six months* steady work. ,
Miller has been working with Ketch too long, and he knows the stagger
ing game too well. Sometimes he staggers and gets ready to flop before the
champion lets the, punch go. This work probably is very finished and very
entertaining, but it should not be attempted at Colma, which is entirely too
near the boundary "line of San Francisco county. » '
Anyhow, Ketchel seemed to take much delight in pounding away at Miller
with both hands. The German has plenty of breadth of beam, and every
time Ketch swung, he was bound to land on some part of the Teuton's
anatomy. Charley was there with the groan and the wince every time the
wallop came. Some of the onlookers really fell for it, too. J;/££\ ,
Miller, affords Ketchel ample exercise. He is a big, strapping fellow, who
can take plenty of lacing, and occasionally he will lace back, too. 6nce In a
while he would forget that he was groggy and tear after Ketch. The latter
did not think of blocking, and in this way Miller landed several nice clouts
right on the face of the lion. - ;Hv-^ y \u25a0--;-.'\u25a0. >
Jim Casey, who used to be Sam Berger's most bitter rival some five years
ago, came on for his after Miller had finished up. Casey isa big, raw boned
son of the Emerald isle, who likes to fight. Perhaps he would have rather
been on the winning end yesterday, but at all, events, he came in for quite a
lacing before Ketchel was through with him.
KETCHEL SHOWS INCREASED SPEED
In the first round Ketchel brought the blood from Casey's mouth and
nose, and In the second he rushed Casey all over the ring. When time was
called in the third Ketchel was boring right in. with Casey holding on and
doing the best he could to protect himself. Ketchel seemed faster then than
at any other stage of „ the afternoon's workout. »
Before donning the big mitts, Ketch worked for nearly an hour in the
gymnasium. He broke three punching bag ropes in 15 minutes and lifted
the heavy sand bag off the hook. He seemed bent upon breaking up all the
furniture in the house. Nobody ever saw him quite so ferocious before.
As in the past, he worked, up a wonderfuT sweat before he had been at
the grind for 10 minutes. By the time he was ready to box the perspiration
was fairly pouring out. He did his boxing in the open air, seemingly without
fear of taking cold. After, his day's work, Ketch weighed « trifle more than
159 pounds, and he did not look an ounce heavier, all of which shows that
he Is far from being a heavy weight. : ;
Papke is far from being such a spectacular worker. as his rival, but at
the same time he shows plenty of the needed class when he starts, and
thereby creates quite as favorable an impression upon those who do not run
so much for the lightning like end of the game. This was apparent yester
day afternoon at the Seal Rock house on the ocean beach, where the Illinois
thunderbolt put in his hardest licks in order to properly prepare himself for
his meeting with the man from Michigan next Monday afternoon.
Papke confined his boxing stunts to one man, Ollle .. Cornet, the young
heavy weight, who has been on the job since Billy' started his training a week
ago. They went;four speedy rounds, Cornet wearing the big ear and nose
protectors to save himself from needless bruises. The bout showed that they
were just the things for him. . \u25a0...
Papke had Cornet at his mercy on many occasions, but instead of proceed
in gfurther, he invariably dropped his hands at his sides and waited for his
man to recover. ; Papke certainlyMooks bigger and stronger and more
aggressive than at any other time since he started boxing. His right hand
punches seem to carry all the speed in theworld with them, and he is as
fast as a kitten on his feet. All the shortend backers are loudly singing his
praises, and the chances are that there will.be a heavy play on him when
he steps into the ring for the fourth time with his old rival.'
It was a big day afr Papke's quarters. In addition to te crowd that Jim
Coff roth steered out there, ] a \ mammoth " sight - seemg ' automobile, filled with
North beach sports, chugged its way, along. This gathering 'was led -by Tom
Dwyer-and Jim Griffin, and it made plenty of noise. r Friday Dwyer and Griffin
and their followers will invade Ketchel's headquarters." : ;-.
\u25a0 Though the crowd wa3 satisfied with all; the boxing and training which
Papke did, it went away disappointed because Billy did not come out and run
that footrace with Jack Perkins, Hyland's manager. Perkins was there with
his tights and running, shoes, but Papke's brother' manger would not let him
go on, so. there was no-chance for an argument. > ;
Coffroth has about decided to match the winner of the. big fight with Jim
Flynn for Saturday afternoon, July 31; He-has practically secured Ketchel's
consent to this match, and if Papke wins, there is nb question but that he; too,
will accept. Both of them are in the limelight now, and they want to gather
all the coin in sight. - ; *:*
Flynn was awarded a 10 round decision over Papke in Los Angeles about
fourjmonths ago. Though Sam Langford beat ; him: here in a' punch, and Jack
Johnson \u25a0 knocked him out in 1 1 rounds, Flynn 'Is looked upon as : a tearing,
rough and ready fellow, who is always dangerous;: Coffroth believes that he
will give either of them a good time .for. many; rounds.
The contract fpr taking the moving pictures of the fight was awarded yes
terday to •H. R/ Hehwood of the \ Engle film company:: V - Henwood ,will l handle
thel pictures' outright for his company.^ He'says that -they i will be booked all
over the country^ and in vthe event that the fight proves a fast one, they should

The balmy climate of Qolma looks so
good to Stanley Ketchel that he has de
cided to locate there in the near future.
Ketch is now negotiating for the pur
chase of a piece of property half a mile
east of Millett's, where :ho intends
building a snug little bungalow, "with a
training quarters attached. : If he wins
and his plans carry. Ketch will do his
future training : at his own place' and
will be the first pugilist to own his own
gym. \u25a0 . . . . •
The Michigan Lion has long been
casting his eye on Colma. and before
leaving for the east the last time an
nounced that he would shortly .build a
hornet here. His friends did not take
any stock in the statement then, but
now the fighter has shown, them that
he means business.
It is likely that the deal for the prop
erty will be closed before the coming
fight with Papke. During his spare mo
ments Ketchel has been inspecting all
the likely looking sites in^the nighbor
hood and yesterday he picked out the
one near: Millett's. i There Is a- little
wrangle: over the? price, I , but it 'is be
lieved v that this will.be adjusted.
\u25a0 Billy. Silver,' the new mayor of Colma,
is acting as Ketchel's agent in the deal.

which the Commuters put over In

came on with a rush, and Umpire Mc-
Carthy was called, upon to give a close
decision In the last frame which kept
the score from being tied.- Speas was
on third with one down when Breen
hit a long; fly to Murphy. The little
outfielder pegged home, and the ball
and the runner seemed to arrive to
gether. - McCarthy called it out and
ended proceedings.
.In the third frame Johnson clouted
the ball- over the fence with one on
base and this gave the Beavers hope,
but Johnson was alone in his work.
Murphy got his team away to a nice
start in the first frame by hitting a
hard one past ' second. Carroll picked
out a nice one, and; clouted it by the
pitcher. Both advanced, when Duffey
Lewis laid down a neat sacrifice. Cam
eron bunted safely and Murphy arrived
with the first tally. Hogan kept up
the rally by bingling safely to center,
scoring CarrolL Terry McKune hit for
a double and Cameron and Hogan ar
rived. ...
GOOD XIGHT FOR BEAVERS
After this rally it looked good night
for- the Beavers.
Boice was on the firing line for th»
Commuters and he was working nicely.
His - curves were breaking to perfec
tion and the chances of McCredie's
men did not look rosy. However, they
gave the Oaklanders some rconcern in
the fifth when they came through with
a temporary batting rally.
Boice got himself in wrong by walk
ing Olson. Breen rapped the ball for
three bases and Olsen came- < home.
Johnson toqk~up the stick and hit the
ball right on the seam and It went
for a home run. bringing in Breen.
In the eighth Oakland came near
scoring, but fast fielding kept them
down. Score follows:

PRUNE PICKERS WALLOPED
BY OAKS DURING SPEEDY
DIAMOND CONTEST
Neaton's Aggregation Outshines
Invaders and Rolls Up, a
Score of 5 to 3
Benny Henderson maintained his
great strike out record yesterday, an
even dozen Prune Pickers being whiffed
back to the old water bucket. Oakland
won the game, 6 to 3, and ft was a gal
lant uphill strug_gle the Invaders made.
" Miller was on the. mound for San Jose
and he pitched a prety good article of
ball, letting the Invaders down with
nine blngles. The San Jose man, how
ever, had three bad innings, when the
Oaklanders bunched their swats, and
this led to the undoing of the Garden
Clty*curve artist.
The lads from San Jose crushed into
the tally' column first, a brace of bin
gles and as many walks netting them
a* couple of runs In the fourth inning.
Lovett. first man up. found the curves
of Benny too elusive, and swung wildly
three times. Happy Smith helped some
by driving one to left for one station,
and on Keller's double to right Happy
moved up to third. Krueger slammed
out a long fly to Jimmy McHale. but
the swat went far enough to allow
Smith lots- of time to cross the pan
with a run. Heed pedestrianized and
made a bluff to purloin the next stop
ping - place. - Eddie Burns tossed the
pellet to' catch him, but there was no
one there to receive the ball and Keller
scored. L.acey faded away, Campbell to
Nealon, and the festivities ceased right
there.
INVADERS GET OX .MAP
A couple of singles and a- sacrifice
brought the Invaders into conversa
tional relations with the run column
in the next inning. Ben Henderson
opened thft services with a single to
center, and he stepped over to second
when Campbell enacted the role of a
martyr. Burns faded away, but Dave
Walthour was on deck with the timely
bingle. and Henderson tore 'home with
one of the things the boys were striv
ing for. '
Keeping up the good work in the
sixth inning, Nealon's men ran into the
lead and remained there during the rest
of the game. There were two down
when the boys got busy, with the wil
low. Smith and McHale having ground
ed out, Krueger to Meyers. Little
Tommy Sheehan started it with a sin
gle and not satisfied with that he an
nexed the second station while the
other fellows were looking elsewhere.
Then Kid Smith made an overthrow,
with the good Intention of. catching
Tommy and the little Swede came
across with what was wanted. Joe
Nealon kicked in with a single and
Henderson slammed one to Krueger,
who made a great stop.
KRVEGER'S GRGATXESS E.VDS
The German's greatness ceased right
there, however, as he stepped over the
bag in an effort to catch Nealon, and
both men were safe.
Chess Campbell bit one off which
landed In safe territory In left, and
Captain Joe meandered homeward with
a run. 'Kddie Burns, apparently know
ing Krueger's weakness, slammed one
to short and the Teuton fulfilled expec
tations by attempting to score a goal
with the pellet. Henderson naturally
accepted the opportunity to add one
more to the Invaders' total.
