PAPKE RECKLESS
IN HIS BOXING
Takes Too Much Punish

Long.

Considerable interest is being mani
Tested in the West in the coming fight
between Hugo Kelly, the Chicago
Italian middleweight and Billy Papke,
OF Ia Sale. III.
Kelly Is a good second-rater. but has
never shown any ability as a boxer that
would entitle him to any claim for
championship honors. Papke is a rugged
young fellow, strong and able to hit
hard. He knows little about boxing and
depends entirely on swinging blows to
defeat an opponent.
Papke was twenty-one years old last
September. He began fighting in March
Of 1906. Tom Jones, his manager. was
then running a club in La Sale. Ill
. The hostlers and drivers. who sat about
the stable in their idle hours, decided
one day to get a pair OF gloves. They
had much fun but It soon dawned on
them that Billy could beat any Of them.

action. yet he knocked these husky

got Sl5 for knocking out third man.
In his fourth fight he was given IS
when he put a middleweight out In
three rounds.

And then Papke started on his re

LONDON. Dec. 20.-The sentiment of

In the matter Of starting races Lord
