KETCHEL-KELLY
FIGHT TONIGHT
Only Cloud Is Possibility
That Kelly's Arm May
Go Wrong.
By W. W. NAUGHToN.

SAN FRANCISCO. July aL.-Tonight
at the Coliseum, Hugo Kelly and STAN
ley Ketchel will try for the world
middIeweight championship. Each is a
perfect physical specimen of the modern
glove fighter, and it is doubtful If either
ever went TO the scratch more perfectly
conditioned.
Both have made the weight without
resort TO drastic measures OF any kind
and the training spell for both has been
a season Of pleasurable pastime. devoid
Of accident or setback.
Matters are n such shape that the
loser will not be able 70 claim that the
test was not a iair one In Kelly's case
there is one circumstance that Is eX-
pected by some to jeopardize his chance
of winning. A few months ago he broke
a bone in one of his torearIns IN a
furious battle with ThunderDolt

elastic support on the injured member,
and the fear has been expressed Lnat
the arm may prove weak spot II the
contest is a vicious one. when, IN view
OF the style in which Ketchel nights, II

Kelly Says Arm Is o. K.
The principal answer to this is that
Kelly is well satisfied with the condition
of his arm. While he has worn the sup
port referred to, he has not favored the
arm at all in his work, and he is quite
confident il is thoroughly healed and
will stand the brunt OF hot and heavy
milling.
Local sporting men are thoroughly
conversant with Ketchels style. After
studying Kelly they have concluded tha'
the two men employ different method.

Now that the sewer project has been well started, it seems advisable to take up the question of domestic water supply. Wa ter from the canals has served the needs of the valley towns in their early days, but as a perma- nent source of supply the ditch is not satisfactory. The project of prospecting with the drill for artesian water is promising, and it should be put into operation as soon as possible. Good water in abundance is now the most i'm portant need of the city.

OFFICERS OF CITY OF FL oENTRo

John Mitchell, former presi- dent of the coal-miners' union, is a bigger man than the pre- judiced anti-unionists who abuse him and misrepresent him. He declines to be a candidate for Governor of Illinois, although it is almost certain that he could be elected, and intimates that he may take charge of the trade agreement department of the National Civic Federation. MT. Mitchell says he feels that he can be of more service to organized labor by trying to se- cure industrial peace than by be- ing Governor of Illinois.
