Ross-Klick Bout
Set For Monday
MIAMI, Fia, Jan. 34. ■**/—Cold
weather Thursday engulfed the
Miami stadium—where the Roas
Kiick and associated bouts had been
scheduled Thursday night—and for
ced setting back of the “card of
champions" until next Monday night.
The decision to postpone the pro
gram was reached by the promoters,
tjthe mercury tabogganed to the
Me 40’s Thursday morning and chill
swept this semi-tropical re
sort.
I was an old story to Barney
Ro , of Chicago, champion of the
lightweights and defender of his
synthetic junior welterweight title
on the Miami card.
Ross and Jimmy McLamin waited
through three such postponements
in New York last year before they
could fltng leather over the welter
weight championship. McLamin
won
But if the light-hearted Barney
accepted delay of the 10-rounder
philosophically, the California chal
lenger, Frankie Kllck. did not.
Trained to a fine edge of fighting
form, Kllck feared the layoff might
endanger his chances at titular hon
ors of a sort.

PAPKE KAYOS KETCHEL
STAN WAS knocked out by Billy
Papke. Sept. 7, 19:8. after taking
terrific punishment for 12 rounds
but he came back ten weeks later
to knock out Papke in the eleventh
round in San Francisco. The battles
were remarkably similar, with the
roles reversed.
Their first tight was at Milwau
kee, June 4. 1908. Papke lost in ten
rounds. Their second was at Vernon,
Calif. Papke actually won it !n the
first round, sooring four knock
downs. but Ketchel gave one of the
greatest exhibitions of' courage In
pugilistic history by carying on.
bleeding and dazed, and with an
eye closed.
Ketchel, then middleweight cham
pion, actually was knocked out of
the ring into the arms of news
paper men. in the eleventh round.
They pushed him back. There were
demands that the slaughter be
stopped. Ketchel heard the shouts
and pleaded with the referee. Jim
Jeffries, to let it go on, declaring
he still could fight. Jeff had to stop
t* in the 12th. as the helpless Ket
chel could not stay on his feet.
• • •
STORY REVERSED
AFTER THE bout, Ketchel im
mediately challenged the new cham
pion. Papke granted his demand
and the third meeting of the pair
was promoted in San Francisco,
Nov. 26. 1908
Ketchel won it in the first round.
Just as Papke had punched his way
to victory at Vernon At the open
ing gong Ketchel rushed across the!
ring and caught Papke with a right
to the Jaw and a left to the stom
ach. The Illinois Thunderbolt was
staggered and had to clinch to save
himself.
The Michigan Pole keot after,
Papke from bell to bell. He was a
great bodv puncher, and as he drove
smash after smash into his op
ponents wind, Papke weakened.
• • •
KETCHEL KILLED
PAPKE FELL before a hard right
in the eleventh, got up at nine and
ran into left and right to the Jaw
which sent him down lor good.
Ketchel gave Papke a fourth fight,
in San Francisco the following year,
winning the decision over him in
30 rounds.
Kethel. as all boxing fans know,
was shot and killed Oct. 16. 1910.

The entire differential rate matter

He his advised Valley friends that
the section now has ample reasons
for forcing removal of the rate, that j
a rate expert should be empk»ed
to present the Valley’s case before

time after the St. Louis. Browns- J

Commission, a differential on both
inbound and outbound shipments. ,
The chief reason fer the rate, which j
is nothing more nor leas than a sur- .
charge, was that the railway wa*
obliged to traverse more than 100
miles of desert country between
Rtobetown and Brownsville from
which It,could not expect revenue. ;
Per the new rail service, therefore
the Valley was to pev this extra
