ketchel entered the ring two "a
one fayorite In the betting, but in thu
first round Papke proved his superiori
W over the champion. He sailed into
him with such fury that Ketchel was
not only taken by surprise bu. was
terribly punished in the first minute ol
lighting. After that 1t was just a case
OF how long he could last
Papke cutfought Ketchel at every
stage and while he punished the cham.
pion terribly, closing both his eyes and
cutting his face to ribbons, he, him
self. was as fresh and unscarred at the
finish as when he first stepped into
the ring.
In each round Ketchel continued to
grow weaker and when in the twelfth
he staggered from his corner at the
sound of the gong, Papke ended thc
agony by flooring him with a right to
the jaw twice in succession and Ket

Correspondent Hard Up for
Story Responsible for
Alarming Canard.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. S.-The sen.
sational reports that an attempt had
been made to shoot President Roose.
velt apparently had their origin in the
fact that the hunting season was open.
ed on Long Island Saturday last
and there has been a great
deal of shooting daily in the outlying
districts. Close investigation fails to
show that there has been any over act
directed against the President. On
his riding trips 1t is not unusual for
him to encounter parties of hunters.
Secretary Loeb said today that it was
not believed that any one had tried to
harm Mr. Roosevelt. No attention
whatever was being paid to the matter
officially, he said
According to a story in circulation,
1t was stated that shot was fired from
clump of bushes near the roadside
while the President and friend were
returning from a horseback ride last
Saturday. President Roosevelt and his
companion galloped away without any
investigation, though the President, it
is said, would have dismounted and
gone into the bushes but for the i'm
portunities Of his friend who dissuaded
him. The general opinion is that the
shot was fired by some hunter who was
unaware of the proximity Of the Pres
ident.
Major Wadsworth, a cousin of the
speaker Of the New York Assembly
was the man who was riding with the
President on Saturday when the shoot
ing was heard. He said the President
remarked that some one was shooting
at target. Later when both were in
bathing, they heard other shots. The
President at this juncture started an
investigation and learned that Jack
Roosevelt, a son of w. Emlen Roose-
velt, had been shooting at a target.
