Show Kctchel's Stock Rises. NEW YORK. June 11. Following his fight with Jack O'Brien In Philadelphia Wednesday night, Stanley Kotchel's chances against Jack Johnson In their prospective light have materially risen, according to the view of New York sporting sport-ing men. A number of bets were reported report-ed on Broadway last night. In which the backers of the colored champion compelled Kctchel's admirers to put up even money. Heretofore Johnson had been a 2 to 1 favorite. This change In tho betting was effected by the argument that O'Brien had had an even fight with Johnson In their six-round battle, and that. Ketchel had O'Brien helpless In less tlr- hree rounds. |
