several shots into the air. The man, be-
coming frightened, stopped and alloWeq
the officer to overtake him.
He was led back to where the bundle
was he had thrown away. When this

work.

THOMAS NO MATCH
FOR MONTANA BOY

After 80 rounds of desperate
fighting between Young Ketchell Of
Butte and Joe Thomas of San Fran
cicso last night, the latter's Sec
onds threw up the fight and Ketch.
ell was winner and undisputed
welterweight champion. He had
Thomas helpless from 4 successive
knockdowns. Ketchel Is but little
known. The first surprise he sprung
upon the sporting public was when
he made Jerry Mccarthy quit in IL
rounds. He had a few small battles
after that, and then, a few months
ago, he fought Thomas to a stand
still in 20 rounds. Thomas was
caught out of condition. But he
was conditioned for the fight Of his
life this last time and the result
was the same, clearly demonstrate
ing the superiority of the Montana
bell-hop.
Billy Roche, the referee, said it
was victory Of fighter over a
boxer. At that Joe Thomas Is a
fighter, too. as well as boyer He
had everything that should have
won for him. He can outlook
Ketchell and Is as hard a hitter, for
there is no man of Thomas weight
in the ring today who has a sitter
punch. But Ketchell won. and,
therefore, his title is undisputed.
Honey Melody whipped Wolcott,
Thomas whipped Melody twice and
was given credit for the title of
weller champion.
