WILLIAMS REFUSES
TO REPORT EARLY

ST. LOUIS. February 21.-There has
cometsa break, and an important one, in
the Browns training plans. President
Hedges received letter from Jimmy Will
liams dated at the latter's home in
Pueblo. Col, in which he says that he will
not make the French Lick Springs trip,
but will report either in ST. Louis or at
Shreveport in time for the regular train
ing trip. Williams also says that he has
written Manager McAleer regarding the
matter, and he mentions no special reason
in his letter to Hedges why he will not be
able to work at French Lick. Hedges is
pretty much in the dark about the affair.
with McAleer not here as yet, but he
sent Williams telegram urging him to
come on for the preliminary training trip
unless it was absolutely impossible.
Williams decision not to take the pre-
liminary training trip is liable to prove
important to the team. He says in his
letter that he has been doing some train
ing at home and is in good shape, but
this does not mean a great deal. Will
liams is one of the players for whom the
French Lick Springs trip was particular
ly intended. He has been picking up
weight in the last couple of years and
losing his speed as a result. Further
more. Williams is one of the players who
take things easy during the winter, and
on this account he needs the baths and
training at, French Lick as much as any
member of the club Condition Is essen
tial for his success during the coming
season, and McA1eer Is placing much de-
pendence upon him for the success Of the
team. Therefore, II he. should fall down
it would seriously cripple the team.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, February 81
Both Young Ketchel and Mike CTwin) Sui
Ivan are in perfect condition for their
twenty-ive-round battle at Colma on Sat-
urday afternoon. The men declare they
are at their perfect fighting weight, SO
there is no danger of the loser setting UP
a howl after the contest that he was
weakened from too much sweating down.
In fact they meet at catchwetghts.
Ketchel tipped the beam today at 1888
pounds and expects to step into the ring
at about that figure. Sullivan weighs 151
hounds. and declares he never felt so
chockful of activity in his life
The battle has aroused great interest

that this fight will go long way toward
settling the mooted question of the right
full holder OF the mlddleweight title.
Ketchel. Sullivan. Kelly and Papke are re-
garded as the only real disputants for the
title, and the battle on Saturday Will prob
ably be the first of a series between this
quartet that will settle the question be-
yond cavil.
