and Jensen with Spokane. To this list
will probably be added another prom

offers from several minor leagues.
With this bunch of ball tossers max

in the country, it would appear that
Salt Lake has some baseball material
after all. All of the above named play

class of ball Salt Lake fans have had

Two ring battles which were closely
watched by fight fans all over the
country occurred during the week just
passed. The first and most important
was the one between Papke and Kelly
at Milwaukee, which resulted in Papke
being given the decision. The fight
was fierce and, it is claimed. was one
of the best ever pulled off in the Brew
cry city. There has been considerable
comment over the decision, and many
claim that ii should have been draw.
But the referee saw clear lead for
Papke and gave the decision as he saw
it.
BY winning, Papke is the logical OPP
ponent of Young Ketchell. and this is
probably the next important battle that
will be staged in San Francisco. Jim
my Coffroth had the men practically
matched and set May as the date, but
received a wire from Papke's man
ager that it would be impossible for
the Illinois thunderbolt to make the
date. The reason given is that Papke
injured his hand in his fight with KEEL
ly. and he does not care to take any
chances until he is sure he will have
his fighting weapons in the best of
condition.

Roche Easy as Expected.

The other battle, while if has COM
parative little significance in fight his
tory, was the victory of Tommy Burns
over Jem Roche. The outcome was ex-
pected, only it was thought the big
Irishman would at least make a better
showing than Bill Squires did. It is
hard to accuse an Irishman of quitting.
but it does look as though Roche quit
in this fight. The accounts say he re-
ceived the one blow which sent him to
the mat, and there he remained until
the count of nine. when he staggered
TO his feet, to be counted out while
holding on the ropes. It is an easy
matter to criticize a fighter after it is
all over. but ii does seem that a game
man would have stalled a little when
In Roche's condition and made an eff
fort TO continue the fight.
Immediately after the fight Burns
gave out the announcement that he
would return to America. but did not
give out his future plans. Jack John
son will probably be waiting for him,
and if Tommy tries to dodge the issue
he will have a hard time keeping out
of the way of the colored man.

was reported that Occur d'Alene city
would ignore certain portions OF the
county and force the removal of the
county seat by the large vote which
