KETCHEL BEATEN
FROM THE START

Stanley Ketchel was decisively
beaten by Billy Papke at Los An
geles yesterday afternoon after II
rounds of ferocious conflict. The
finish was started in the first
round. Ketchel's right eye was
closed when he toed the mark in
the second. From that on he was
knocked down repeatedly, but
fought bravely.
In the 18th round Ketchell fin
ished staggering around unable to
see out of either eye. In the 18th
he was counted out the second
time Papke fioored him.
This was the first defeat OF
Ketchell, since he began fighting
main events. The whipping should
make more of fighter of him than
ever. He never knew before what
it was TO fight an opponent who
had the best from the start. He
fought good losing battle and ex-
hibited unlimited sand.
Papke is now active middle
weight champion. There are sew
eral inactive claimants of the title,
among them Robert Fitzsimmons.

ATTELL COULDN'T
PUT HIM OUT

Abe Attell and Owen Moran
England's champion featherweight
fought a 23 round draw at Colma
Cal, yesterday afternoon before
5000 people. Attell did not show
his speed of previous battles.
Moran was the more aggressive,
but the Hebrews superior clever,
ness forestalled any damages from
the Englishman' ferocity. Moran
claimed after the fight that he
broke his right hand in the second
round. 1t was only a sprained
thumb, however. Attell escaped
without a mark. Moran's face was
cut and bleeding and his left eye
was closed.
This means another battle. Last
nights conflict was the second
draw between them.

PITCHING
BY HOLM

All the Indians did yesterday
was gaze with wonder on the pitch
ing of their amateur recruit, Vic
Holm, and go home with the
spoils, 1 to 0 for the first game,
which lasted II innings, and 8 to 0
for the second.
lowed only five hits, and walked
only one man. He did not hit a
man orr make anything resembling
wild pitch. The boy was cinched
up in dandy style and Seattle was
completely in his power. Kreitz
caught him.
Few pitchers can stand the
strain of two consecutive games
and win both. Holm was better
the second than first. Dave Rowan
found him for two hits and Bun
stine for one in the first game. He
did not walk a man until the tenth.
Spokane scored the winning run
in the 18th on errors by Frisk and
Cahill.
Darlington pitched the first game
for Seattle, and was found for
seven hits. Anderson and Stand.
bridge officiated at the second and
gave eight hits.
Billy Hulen made two errors, one
each game. Burnett at short made
an error in the first.
The fans today are digging over
records" to see if Holm establish
ed one.

RlAN BALL, DOPE

CElmar,E Batecs3

The appearance of a dozen vet,
Grams of the diamond-men who
played major league ball 20 and %
years ago--in an exhibition game
at Cleveland a few days sincere
calls incidents of the days when
these old players were in the pub
lie spotlight and when baseball had
less of the commercial aspect
from an ownership standpoint-and
less of a savings bank appearance
from a players vantage of view
than it has today.
The ball players of today do not
give wine suppers to their friends,
nor do they engage carriages to
show their admirers over the town.
Also, there was little better
feeling of "comradeship" in the old
days than now, and this sentiment
of brotherhood included the much
abused umpires.
One day, along in the COS, Tim
Hurst made his appearance in Bos-
ton as an arbitrator. Early in the
game Hurst and Ed Mexican had a
savage mixup over a decision at
second. In the fifth inning there
was another clash, and in the ninth
still another.
Player and umpire left the field
vowing to get even for real or fan
cied wrongs. Mexican had been
fined $50. Hurst had been called
a blind, laundering fool and other
things.
