not out. but that the simultaneous
counting Of both the referee and Of
ficia Timekeeper George Harding
confused him. According to Jones
and Papke the Illinois man relied on
1.-THE referees count, and they assert
he stopped counting after he reached
six.
Papke will remain In town several
days and will endeavor in every pos
sible way to secure a return match
with Ketchel. but up to late hour
last night the Michigander did not
seem inclined to have any more bus
mess with the Illinois Thunderbolt.
Manager Tom Jones said that Papke
did not fight his usual battle. and
!declared that he stood ready and will
/ ing to send his man against Ketchel
again on anything like fair terms,
and as each fighter has a knockout
lover the other there is q strong like
lihood that they will meet again.
The Illinois man fought clean
battle and feels entitled to a return
'match. He has one knockout over
Ketchel. while Ketchel has knock
out and a 10-round decision over

II the men should ever come to-
gether again and Papke did GOT show
great deal better punching ability
THAT he did yesterday he could hardly
hope to win from Ketchei.
Papke's gameness made a great hit
with the crowd. While under the
severest punishment he failed to do
any running away and fought toe to
toe with Ketchel in every round.
Once Ketchel pushed Papke through
the ropes, and as the men were SHOW
ed back again into the ring the new
champion apologized to his fallen
foe.
Papke Shows His Defeat -.a
BY wonderful effort Papke man
aged to regain his feet after this wal
lop, but he was clearly at sea, and
though he managed to rush into a
clinch with Ketchel and momentarily
stave of defeat. 1t was easy to see
that he was beaten man. His eyes
were CLASSY and rolled in their SOCK
cts.
| When Ketchel saw his advantage
he pressed 1t. He was upon Papke
like a wolf and fanged him with
right and left cuffs about the head
and body until he finally opened him
up. When Ketchel got Papke in a
position where his Jaw was a target
for his fist. he swirled his body back
a bit, steadied himself and shot in
that deadly left of his. the premier
punch of the modern ring. The blow
landed right on the point of Papke's
chin. He sagged and went to the
floor dazed badly. Though In dire
distress, Papke showed u wonderful
presence of mind and made game
and valiant attempt to arise as the
fatal seconds were being tolled or. !.
Papke was IN on his feet after
resting IL seconds on the mat and
he seemed a much chagrined fighter
when Referee Jack Welsh Informed
him that victory had gone against
him. Billy declared that he was con-
fused In the count and said he was
watching Jack Welsh count instead
of the timekeeper. &
Two minutes and thirty-nine sec
onds OF the round had been spent
when Papke took the punch that put
him out of the running. but even
had he gotten up before the referee
had counted his chances away. he
would hardly have been able to wea-
ther out the round. He was badly
dazed after he arose. and stood open
and helpless as child.
1 y Ketchel showed himself far SUI
perior puncher to Papke, and though
the Illinois man seemed bit the
eleverer boxer he did not appear TO
have the proper force back of his
blows to stop the onrush of Ketchel
at any stage of the game. The Mich
igan Lion had every round but the
second. In this period 1t looked as
Though Papke had chance to win
In hurry. Billy also held Ketchel
ieven In the third round. but every
other round was Ketchel's, and by no
