KETCHEL NEARLY KILLS
HIS SPARR|NG PARTNER

Los Angeles, August 2S.-Stanley
Ketchel, whose reputation preceded
him from San Francisco, nearly killed
Paul Ackley, sparring partner, today
at Vernon, where is is training for the
big Labor day fight with Bill Papke.
Ackley was knocked senseless, and
for eight hours doctors and trainers
worked to restore him to conscious.
ness. He finally rallied late tonight,
after II was feared he might die, but
is still half dazed.
Ackley, a green but daring fighter,
is about the only one who has been
found willing to stand up with Kctchel,
though heavy financial inducements
are offered. They had spared but Il
few minutes this afternoon when
Ketchel hit his man squarcly on the
jaw, according to spectators, and fol.
lowed instantly with terrific right
on the nose. Ackley failed to get up,
began to kick and stiifen, as though a
bullet had gone through him, and then
became limp. A bystander was sent
post haste on horseback for physi-
clan; then more we're called. but their
efforts failed so long that the camp
became greatly alarmed.

there was horse racing at the two

racing at the South Side and Sports

at Won der Aheville.
Later, though, just a couple of
summers ago, the firm of Celia, Ad-

fair grounds, Delmar and Kinloch

were holding forth the same as to-
day.

All Of a sudden the cid" was
jammed on. The race tracks were
closed. So were the fighting clubs.
Baseball alone was allowed to con-
tinue. That condition has contin-

meet or an auto show, not counting,
of course. the fall combats on grid
iron, 1t has been baseball and base
ball only, for the sport lovers.

ent attaches the highest importance
to a communication in the Nossische
Zeitung describing what occurred at
the meeting between Emperor Will

doubt that the communication was
inspired by the Foreign Office. and
that IL emanated from Baron Won
Jenisch, who was present at the
meeting as the representative Of the
German Foreign Office. The COM
munication. It is believed, is intend
ed TO prepare the public in Germany
for definite settlement OF the An
rIo-German arrangement on the on
IMPOSSIBLE basis.
According to the Vossische Iei-
tung. the Emperor and Sir Charles
Hardinge discussed the naval ques-
tion with the utmost frankness. and
laid the basis for complete under
standing on the subject.
The Daily Telegraph in an cdito-
rial says: THE communication will
be read with sincere qualification
throughout the country, and, III al
goes well. the Cronberg meeting will
take rank as one of the great politi'
cal events of our time"

persed the crowd.
The sailors have been dissatisfied
with the lack of entertainment here.
More than 1000 have come ashore
each day. but many, after spending
two hours in town have either taken
the train for Los Angeles or have re-

that overcharges of various kinds

The front of the restaurant was
covered with bunting and flags,
Some OF the sailors called attention
to the national colors before they
began their attack on the place, and
members Of the party scaled up the
front and carefully removed all dec
