Lame but Game, Navajo

Makes Great Showing of PIucki-
ness in Cross Country Race
at Brighton Beach
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

BRIGHTON BEACH, July 27.-Navajo
is only a cheap steeplechaser and is
short on class, but what he lacks IN
quality he offsets with pluck. He was
lame and on the verge of breaking
down when he started in the cross
country race today. But in spite Of
his pain he stood long gruelling drive
for nearly two miles and at the end
won through sheer courage and en-
durance. After Navajo won he pulled
up so lame that Jockey Dupee jumped
Of his weight and to lessen the pain
in his leg. The weakened tendons Of
the leg, strained by many previous
races, had ruptured completely and
he was just able to hobble home. With
his leg useless during the last half
mile he had jumped and raced so we'll
that he passed the winning post in
the lead by two lengths.
heavy. This condition of going was
favorable to Navajo. Bannell was
second, three lengths before Paprika
Although the inner field was deep in

easily in the fast time OF 1888 2-5.

is undoubtedly one of the most sensa-
tional fighters that has ever donned a
pair of mitts in this city. His rushing
style and his fearful furnishing powers
have convinced followers of boxing
that no boxer but a heavy weight
champion can beat him.
Kelly's record is a good one, he hav-
ing mixed 1t with such men as Tommy
Burns, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien,
Tommy Ryan and a number of other
high class ring performers, and his
showing with these men stamps him
as a formidable opponent against the
best men in his class
His recent fight with Billy Papke,
with whom he boxed draw, seems
to be the dope which is being used to
pick a winner. Ketchel beat Papke
handily, and the best Kelly got was a
draw decision, though it is claimed that
Kelly injured his hand in the early
rounds with his fight with Papke,
which prevented him from doing his
best.
Jack Welsh visited Ketchel at Mil
lett's yesterday and found the Mon
tanan as busy as bee with his train
ing. They talked over the rules, and as
Welsh has refereed fights for Ketchel
before there was not much trouble In
coming to an understanding about the
rules. Welsh is expected to visit Kelly
today.
The weight of 15S pounds at 6 o'clock
in the evening will keep Ketchel at
work up to the day of the fight, while
Kelly will end his boxing today and
cut down his work during the next two
days.
Luke Marisch of the Pacific club re-
ports that the orders for seats have
