J rT I ler Heavyweight Champion of the tho Y World Chicago Sept 13 IUn 1 King annals will contain no brighter chapter than the time account of tho three great lights that lla pasted passed into history last week I 1 can recall no trio of or contests that stirred more general Interest or 01 caused wider comment than the time three battles batties which have just b been en fought From the time standpoint stand tand point of or keen rivalry rl ring generalship generalship general general- ship cleverness and the old stylo I pyrotechnics tho contests surpassed anything that has hns been i pulled oft off In this country countr n a n decade The Ketchel fi fight ht probably caused tho the greatest as nine out of oC ten had the former ormer doped to win it wai wo thou thought ht had Iton it iton iton on every middleweight ht before the public Including But as in tn inmany inmany man many other othor cases caRes In pugilistic Uc history tho the public was wrong and all the tho greater great great- realor real real- or er is tho the victory of tho timo Spring Sprin Valley alley thunderbolt who scattered tho the do dope po poof of tho the experts galley west when he lie hit lilt that terrific wallop in tho rat first few fw minutes of tho the fi lighting fighting hUn in tho the great bout tho Jeffries club at nt Los Angeles on Monday Turns Jurn Tables In their ther first light rIght at Milwaukee got Sot In tho time punch that thal counted on in tho the first round and tho light was waa au all his Tho TImo tables turned at Los An Angeles and o landed land land- ed Ml the tha telling toiling wallop Which is tho gamer of tho the two will fit still III bo disputed by tho the friends of ot both certainly gave Javo an Impressive exhibition of oC bulldog tenacity Ho lie fought under a n. great handicap after acter he received tho first h hard rd punch that thal c landed but he ho I kept ept rl right ht on ongoing going and when his lila mind refused to servo his natural fi lighting Instinct held him up alone of or all tho the lighters light fight ers era I know could have e stood up under tho the terrific punishment And still sUIl the tho question will arise whether Ketchel stood anything more moro than stood when tho two met at nt Milwaukee Hut But being game amo in the tho ring Is not what It is la cracked up to bo be and It took tho tIme bouts to demonstrate this From both tho the standpoint of oC tho the fighter fiShter and tho the pug gameness alono Is a n quality that oCten often often oft oCt en docs does moro harm than good This was shown when the spectators called to Jeffries to stop stol the tho Paplo bout hout before tho the former had Imd been actually actually actually actu actu- ally counted out X for tor hattie To 10 see a n pugilist In n It helpless condition con con- mutton mauled around a rin ring because ho lie is too gamo game to know that he Is Ie licked Is ill not what tho time public pays vas its Us mone money to see And were fighters properly prop prop- erly rl prepared for tor battle especially when a n. worlds world's championship title is at stake o. o such ouch a Q thing timing would never nover happen Carefully scan tho time records of at an any of ot tho time really great reat that reached tho the top lop and remained there thero for tor any aimy UI length of ot time and soc see If it there yoro any auch such examples as that seth set t h by at los Angeles Two g n- n U I the Uio won wonderful donut natural physical endowment that both possess should have havo Wasted waded through the 25 rounds without either having lm to display Y tho the gameness sameness that all admit they possess But Dut the they overlooked In their preparation preparation preparation what I have havo always considered ono one of or tho the main attributes o of a it ring champion defensive 0 strength At Mil MII- Milwaukee waukee Ketchel hit a punch In tho tIme Jaw and amI the latter stayed ten rounds because his wonderful ability to take tUkO punishment withstood tho the a ag- ag Kr tactics of or I The Los contest would have havo been al almost almost at- at most an exact reproduction of or tho tIme Mil lull Milwaukee waukee battle battlo had Imad It gone but ton ten rounds Did not send Ketchel through h tho the ropes In the sixth Lack of Drill Brill Work But ho didn't have a II chance chalice to lot let lethis his recuperative work and ho finally succumbed Probably tho the something some same t thing ln would have ha happened at ut Milwaukee Mil Mu- waukee hind had the time battle battlo gone lon longer er only of or course It would have havo been In favor Had either elthor fighter been drilled in Sn footwork and tho the art of covering up I nd and protecting himself until ho lie had sufficiently recovered to go ahead under under un un- un- un der full fun steam or enough steam at least to 10 carry him alon along without being mauled around tho ring as If Ir ho lie vere verea a punching ba bag tho the result rosult In both cases might have been bee different In the lie contest It was tho time first hard wallop that counted got bot It on at Los Angeles and Stanley Instead of or stalling until ho had partially recuperated know knew only how to attack which had carried him him to victory in fill all of his fi lInt But with the time vitality knocked out of ot him ho lie did not have havo the tho strength to togo toire too go ire o ahead upon the tho only path that ho lie knew know Had hind known how to take tako the toe defensive and remain on it until his strength had come back to him tho the pugilistic pu following of ot Los Angeles would have havo witnessed ono one of the tho greatest round 25 battles the tho pugilistic pu pu- pu- pu world over ever seen r r Lr rom I j Lot Let the
