at the St. St Rog Regis s Amateur Athletic club during tho progress proWess of ono one of their weekly boxing shows show and since sinco then I havo have been bec wondering why t I had bad nov never nover r gone gono ono th there ro before The card all thron through h was a mighty rich little dish and I was as surprised at seeing see in ing so 50 large lare and representative an audi audio nce If Managers rana ers Price and Schuler have e an any more such cards up their sleeves their efforts should be bo 8 aged The bouts should please e even cn tho the most chicken hieken hearted fan for tho contests nrc never ne permitted to go to to such an nn th that t there is any brutality The Tho o men box just tim tho same however and in jn fact go o after it hammer and tongs tonga After it is all over they shako hands and go o to their dressing dressin rooms together to ethe Tho The hoys boys who appeared at tho the club last Monday Monda ni night ht aro all clean cut fellows s and I was was surprised at tho achievements of cf ocr every one of them An ovenin evenings evening's s 's a entertainment mont of the kind which I witnessed wit witS should bo be encouraged Stanley Ketchel tho the husky Michl- Michl stander grander has baa been matched to fl fight bt Jack Jock Johnson From now until October 12 therefore the will win have hae one continual round of pleasure for the they can pick tho two men to pieces and dissect their thir relative rel rd abilities until they will dream of Ketchel etchel and Johnson There ar are a n great many sporting sp-orting- writers who aro are already poking fun fUll at Ketchel's chances Others aro picking pick ing in ng him to win vin Whilo I do not wish to tobe tobe tobe be class classed d with either cither oun nun of them as vet I cannot help lieli but entertain tho the hunch that Ketchel will ill not be bo as hi hia big biga a jol jokA a as sonic some would have havo it appear rack Twin Twin tJ Sullivan defeated Tommy Burns whilo this same fellow Ketchel knocked Sullivan an cold Ketchel has hM been coming fast t and has also been Leen getting stronger and heavier er Ho Un is dangerous clangorous erous Ho lIe knocked out Mike Miko Twin Sullivan as clever a man as Burns Ho ne gave ae Toe Joe Thomas such fluch a n. t terrific beating t that ha t tho the latter tt er has never recovered from tho the efforts Ho lie knocked out mit lingo Hugo Koll Kelly in jig ji time His single defeat nt at the hands of of was due to cm carelessness yet j-ct ct ho bo upset all traditions and gave ta a a. l beating atin which ho will Ion long remember Ketchel stated whilo while signing tho articles ar are ar- ar tides that ho would weigh about pounds when he meets Johnson Of course Johnson on will m bo be much heavier ier than this And on dope lopo Johnson should heal beat Ket Ketchel hands down Ho should 10 able ahlo to w wear vear ar down if it ho JIA cannot knock him out but Lut m my way P oC Ie thinking is that tha Lo ho o had bad better knock t ock I him out because if Ketchel is permitted permit permit- ted to remain twenty rounds take tako it from me tho thu nc negro ro is going oin to get somo omo beating himself No JUan man will den deny that thia Ketchel is game ame and his past performances show that as lon long as ho is ii able ablo to stand on his feet ho he is one fighting machine and his wallop is liable to make it pay day at lit any time Johnson ha has or been heralded as a finisher He lie ha had fought twenty round bouts with such men as DS Mexican Pete Peto Everett erett Ferguson ton son Gardner and others any anyone ono one of whom nhom would not go half that far with Ketchel At any auy rate Ketchel has nothing t to loso lose and everything e to gain I do ilo not blamo blame him for far not wanting to fight Langford because I T will adif it that I think ho is bad me medicine On the tho other hand a n defeat at the hands of Lan Lanford Langford Lang Lang- ford for would take away man many p of Kete Ketchel's Ketch Ketch- els el's laurels while a deft defeat at by bJ Johnson on I will not Dot hurt Ketchel's H record to a great extent |
