RASTY BEATS ALL
HIS OTHER RECORDS

Rasty Wright couldn't find any
thing yesterday that the Canucks
couldn't bat almost out of the lot
He walked the first three men who
faced him, then allowed four hits
including a double, and when the
smoke of battle cleared there was
Rasty waitin' at the church with
the help signal out.
Things went along until the sixth
inning without the Canucks taking
the trouble to score again. Then
Rastus was lit upon for numerous
other swats, smashes and clouts
and once more when the smoke
cleared away there were seven
runs on Vancouvers side.
Young SpOonemore then went in
to relieve the long kid from the
south. Vancouver accumulated an
other run, totalling IA.
Although the Indians met Erick
sons curves with many a good
smash, the smashes didn't come
OPPORTUNITY, and only two runs
were secured.
Wright allowed the Canucks nine
hits, walked three, swatted two and
threw two wild ones in six innings
SpOOnemOre allowed one run an(
two hits in the three innings he
pitched.

KETCHELL MYSTERY !.
KNOWN---HOODOOED

The real trouble with Stanley
Ketchell in the fight with Papke
has become public. His defeat was
due to the hoodoo charm cast by a
seer of the east. Witness the fol-
lowing article, publish in New York
just before the fight:
Favorite players, beware. Ket-
chells good luck will surely desert
him. He no longer will have a
magic spell over him. A fortune
teller, who gave the champion his
| power" has written threatening
letter informing him that unless
500 was sent to him Immediately
his lucky slate would be smashed,
which proceeding, he says, would
spell defeat in the contest with
Papke. For reading KetchelPs for
tune prior to the Marysville fight
and predicting that the champion
would clean up $4,000 in a year,
this forecaster of the future hap
penings of mankind wants the mod
est sum of 500 and says unless it
is forthcoming at once he will cast
an evil spell over the fighter which
will surely start him on the down
ward path.
So, that means the favorite play
ers will again get stung, because
this fortune teller never was wrong
in his life. (He says so himself.)
But, my, how devilish he'll be when
he gets O'Connor's letter enclosing
10 spot the first payment of the
hundred. In fit of playfulness,
without ever considering the awful
results which would follow, instead
of sending the desired $780, 10
of diamonds was mailed, to apply
on account, with the reminder that
the other nine tens would quickly
follow. 1t will make a good cOllec-
ton for his card room. If you be-
lieve in signs and are at all super
stitious, stick your wad on Papke
to cop, because the cards never
turn wrong for this prognosticator.
Here is a little of his original
dope:
Young Ketchell-Dear Sir: A
little over year ago you came
into my office. You were down and

you confidence and how to draw
power to yourself. From that day
to this you have had wonderful
luck. Now, did 1 not promise you
that you would make $4,000 a
year? You did

sit down and think of me and les

hopes when Bill was the goods, and
remember what | promised you
the world championship. l am no

money, for | am well off, but it
would show me that you are man
and not a beast. You know you
owe me for my time and science

that started you out.
MY boy, just as sure as your
name is Ketchell, if you lose to
Papke you can blame it to yourself
for not treating me right.
Il laid the great cards for you
last night and it seems you lay

told all fighters the truth. l claim

be there And remember, if you
are not the great Ketchell and go
down to defeat, it is because you
forgot the man who made you, but
will work no more. l have the
plate you carried for luck against
Bill, and if you don't show me by
return mail, I will destroy it and
make it for the next good man you
met. j. 81

SILVER DIGCERS ARE
PLAYING GOOD BALL

Ladies, if your fellows can't
come, come yourselves. That's
what the Occur d'Afene league ex-
tends to the ladies. They won't
take their money and want them
to come every day free except Sun
day. If the ladies bring any men
with them, the men will be charged
admission. The players from the
galena hills are playing as good
ball at Recreation park as the pro-
fessionals, but there is not much
interest in the games. The spieler
who worked for the professionals
is abroad in the land again today,
having been pressed into service
by the miners.
Yesterdays game between Wal
lace and Mullen, which the former
won, 3 to 2, was well played by
both teams. George Hollis, the old
Indian pitcher, won the game for
Wallace with mighty smash for
three sacks in the ninth inning
with a man on first. Wallace got
six hits off WEIGH and Mullan
found Marshall for five. Sailor
Roberts umpired.

The history of the ring shows
that the Jewish fighter always took
prominent part in the fight game.
The first Jew made his appear
ance in the English ring the latter
part of the eighteenth century.
He was Daniel Mendoza, then
the greatest fighting man in Eng
land He was the first Jew to be
recognized as champion.
Mendoza was born in 1853 and
won his first fight in 1884. He was
frye feet seven inches tall, with a
rugged build. An old writer spoke
of him as ''one of the most elegant
and scientific boxers the ring has
had" He never lost a battle to a
man of his own size. His skill and
courage are still a tradition of the
English ring. For 10 years he was
the king of British fighters until he
met Jackson, bigger man, and as
great a boxer, and lost his title.

fury prize fighting decayed. When
it came to the front again in our
time, under the wholesome Queens
berry rules, another Jew soon at
tracted attention. This was Joe
Choyinski, who just missed being
champion more times than any
fighter that ever lived. Choynski,
like Mendoza, was little too small
to beat Jeffries, and he lost many
tough fights by an eyelash. He all
but knocked Fitzsimmons out. Fitz
has said that, with the exception of
Jeffries, Choynski hit him harder
than any man he ever fought. He
knocked Kid Mccoy dead and was
robbed of the battle
Kid Herman and Joe Bernstein,
both Jews, just fell short of being
champions. Both fought the best
men in their classes and gave them
terrible battles, but they were I'M
