HAS JOHNNY EVERS
QUIT THE GAMEl
Says So in a Letter Written
to Chicago Friend
Yesterday.

In a letter received by a Chicago
friends yesterday. Johnny Evers. the
second baseman of the Cubs, declared
positively that he would not play with
the worlds champions next season and
that he wouldn't care If he never saw
another baseball. To prove he is go
ing to quit. Evers says it is his inten-
ton to ask Charles w. Murphy for
such a mighty stipend that the presi-
dent of the worlds champions will not
ask him to return
Evers' reason for giving up the game
is that he has business prospects which
will require his attention and pay him
better than staying in baseball.
President Murphy declined to make
statement on the matter, following
his rule not to answer statements made
in other peoples letters.
That part of Evers' letter referring
to his retirement from the game is as
follows:
IF things turn out as I expect next
week, I'll make good and never play
ball again. Even If they don't turn
out as l expect I'll make good any
way, as I don't want to be kidded al
next summer about not making good.

M'FARLAND CANCELS
MATCH WITH ERNIE
Chicago Lightweight Objects to Max
ing 1873 Pohnds After Signing
for Catchweight Go.

Packey Mcfarland last night called
off his match with Young Erne, sched-
uled for decision over the twenty
round route for New Orleans Dec. %.
After the referee matter had been sat
isfactorily settled and Malachy Hogan
agreed upon for the third man in the
ring, Erne conceived the idea that he
would like to have Mcfarland make
the lightweight limit for him.
The articles for the fight called for
battle at catchweights. and McFar-
land made no effort to reduce his
weight Yesterday Erne wired that Nc
Farland would have to weigh in at
1873 pounds on the day of the battle
and Harry Gilmore Immediately de-
clared the match off.
Cyclone Johnny Thompson. through
his manager. Larney Litchtenstein, has
wired Tom Andrews of Milwaukee
matchmaker of the Algiers club of New
Orleans, under the auspices of which
the Mcfarland rne go was scheduled
to take place. that he would take
Packey's place. No answer had beer
received at a late hour last night.

tators, who had howled themselves in
and out of a continued frenzy during
the great bout, was that Papke was
lucky indeed to be given an even break
by the referees award.
Just as Papke had beaten the feat
ures and body of Stanley Ketchel in
the same ring last Labor Day, so was
the Kewanee mans face muti1ated last
night by the fighting Italian middle
weight. Both of Papke's eyes were
badly swollen, the left one almost TO-
tally blosed. His mouth and nose
were squirting blood and, taken alto
gether, the ex-champion presented a
pitiful appearance at the finish. In di-
rect contrast was Kellys unmarked
features.
Kelly Practically Unmarked.
With the exception of a little blood
from the nose and mouth Kelly looked
as well at the finish as he did at the
opening bell.
Kelly showed up well during the
opening rounds, during which time he
excelled at cleverness and clearly out
boxed Papke. During the fourth Papks
missed his one grand opportunity OF
II liio Ddlti6 1T luen anu there
with Knockout.
Billy knocked Kelly fiat on the fool
with a smashing left and the Chica
goan after taking the count of nin'
came to his feet in a dazed condition.
! He showed superb ring generalship
though, by covering up and stalling of
the vicious Papke, who, maddened will
excitement. fought like a tiger.
For over a minute Kelly protected
his jaw with his shoulders and arms
He regained himself to the extent tina
he was fighting back at the bell.
With the opening bell at each roun,
Papke would rush over and meet Kell
before the latter could get out of tn
Ineighborhood of his corner. To Pap
ke's credit it must be said that he as
sumed the part of the aggressor a.
during the battle. It is true that 70
the most part Billy was only sound
licked for his pains, but without
doubt 1t was his determination in tn
} way of forcing things that influence

Boston, Dec. 16.-Owen Moran, the
little English fighter. put it all over
Frankie Neil, the star featherweight
of the Pacific coast, in their twelve
round bout at the Armory A A. last
night, and the American boy was
lucky to stay the limit. The foreigner
had all the advantage in weight, Neil
being forced to give away ten pounds.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1908-12-16

Another thing that helped Papke
was the strong finish he made in the
twenty fifth round. Billy had evidently
been saving himself for the final three
minutes of the battle. He reused his
tired energies during this round and
slugged Kelly to a standstill, also re-
sorting to rough tactics and wrestling
the italian to the floor.
