What Tolstoi has done for the peo-
pie of his time in Russia is to be found
in the dress, customs and habits of the
lower classes of that absolute mon
archy, but the critics say that right
in his home his own teachings have had
little effect. The answer which close
friends of the count give to that asser-
ton is that Russia's benefactor Is too
broad-minded to make his home mar
tyrdom and to inflict his beliefs upon
his wife and children if they do not
care to abide by them.
So while Tolstoi has spent his life or
the greater part of it in preaching the

KETCHEL ON HIS WAY
TO TOP OF THE HEAP
If He Keeps Up His Present
Pace He win Be Fighting
Burns in a Year.

NEW YORK, June 20.-Stanley ketchel
will soon be in the position occupied by
Jim Jeffries. There will be no one for
him to fight. Jeff's opponents gave out
because the boiler maker, besides being
one of the greatest fighters in the world,
was too big for the other heavyweights.
1t scared them into a pals:ed state to
see him coming out of his corner like a
great grizzly bear.
Size cuts no ice with ketchel. It's
fighting ability alone that is making him
feared as much as Terry McGovern was
a few years ago. Ketchel seems to be a
split between McGOvern and FitZsimmOns
in fighting style. He tears in like McGOv-
ern He uses both hands equally well like
FitZsimmons, and, like Fitz, he punches
so unexpectedly that the other fellows
are caught mapping. He dropped Mike
Twin Sullivan with the first punch. He
did the same thing to Papke who hit the
floor as soon as he got within range of
ketchelS fists. Papke recovered enough
to make fight of it for the ten rounds.
Ketchel knocked Joe Thomas down the
same way in their first fight.
Looking over his record, it Is easy to
most there will be none but heavyweights
for him to fight. And there is no reason
why Ketchel should fail to make good in
the heavyweight class. His best fighting
weight just now Is the same as that OF
Bob F'itzsimmons when he knocked out
big and clever Jim Corbett for the cham
pionship of the world. Fitzsimmons, in
all of his heavyweight battles. was only a
middleweight
Weight doesn't make so much difference
to a clever fighter with good punch
as it does to a plain slugger. Terry Nc
Govern at his best beat down Joe Cans.
Joe Cans fights Welterweights as success
fully as lightweights. He can hold the
weller title If he wants to. He proved
that when he knocked out Mike Twin
Sullivan so easily, and when he fought
Joe WalcOtt a twenty-round draw In San
Francisco.
Walcott was known as the "Giant Mil
ler,'' because he could fight big men even
better than little men; He knocked out
Joe Choynski. the clever heavyweight
although he had been whipped himself by
Kid Lavigne lightweight and 'Mys-
terious" Billy Smith. welterweight. Wal
colt never kicked about weight. One of
his favorite amusements was fighting
Sandy Ferguson. Sandy was one of the
toughest rough-h house fighters in the ring
He never was a good heavyweight. but
he would bite. kick and run the gamut OF
fouling when he met Walcott, and get
away with 1t. Also he weighed well
above 900 pounds.
kid" Mccoy never scaled very much
but he would have taken chance with
Jeffries If 1t had been offered to him
He made a great fight against Sharkey
when the sailor was at his best. knocking
him down twice. He faxed with Corbett
but there is little doubt that he might
have won on the level if he hadn't chosen
to lie down. He knocked out Peter
Maher. Joe Choynski and a lot of other
good heavies.
If Ketchel keeps up his pace he will
probably fight Tommy Burns for the
heavy weight title within a year. Burns
is not real heavyweight, either.

MANY YACHTSMEN
IN THE KEEL RACES
Total Number of Entries, How
ever, Greatly Reduced From
That of 1907.

KEEL, June 20-Yachtsmen from six
nations, in addition to Germany. will par
ticipate in the races during this year s
Kiel regatta, beginning June %, France.
England. Russia, Sweden, Belgium and
Switzerland having entered in sew
eral events. The total number OF en-
tries, however. has undergone consider
able reduction from that Of 1907, only
seventy-four having been received in COM
parfson with ninety-eight last year.
This has been brought about by the
coming into force of the new regulations
as to measurement, which have caused
the disqualification of some formerly
prominent racers and not by any diminu-
ton Of interest in the sport itself. The
quality of the racers taking part is very
high. and excellent sport is promised.
There are no fewer than twenty-Six newly
built vessels, more tnan third of the
entrants. while only six of the entire
number were launched over ten years ago.
Imperial Family Interested.
The imperial family is to take an active
part in the regatta the emperor having
entered the Meteor, the empress the Iduna.
the crown prince with Angela III, and
Prince Eitel Friedrich the Elizabeth.
Germany. outside the yachts belonging
to the imperial family. is represented by
sixtytwO yachts. France by three, Eng
land one, Russia one. Sweden one, Bel
gium one and Switzerland one.
The bigger classes have suffered most
from the new regulations. Glasses AL and
Az will contain only four yachts each.
the twenty-th ree-meter. the fifteen-meter
and the twelve-meter classes three each.
the ten-meter class eight. the nine-meter
class two. the eight-meter class eleven.

the Sender class. which last year at
tracted twenty-eight competitors, only
twenty-five, all of them German.
