Mike (Twin) Sullivan. like Ketchell,
is beginning to see the ACCESSIBILITY
OF curtailing his glove work, so as TO
preclude all possibility OF a mishap
To his fighting machinery. He will
spar with Brother Jack and Burke
this afternoon, but on Thursday and
Friday. there viii be no exchange OF
iolts and uppercuts In his camp.
The odds In Ketchelrs favor remain

ROCHE POPULAR;
CAN He SCRAP /?

Jem Roche. OF Ireland, whom Tom
my Burns will meet mex tin his tour,
IS the best lighter that Ireland
has produced in the last Ave years.
Roche and Burns will fight In Dublin
on st. Pntrick's day for purse OF
81 500 and side bet OF $4,000.
Roche has great reputation In his
native isle as a fighter, but the repu-
tation Is purely a local one. for he
has met only one fighter who was
6Aedited with having any class" That
Was Charley Wilson. and Roche won
easily. Wilson Is a second-rate heavy
weight In England. and would be
among the preliminary lighters In this
country.
When Roche had his photograph
taken recently he Immediately, mailed
a COPY or Il 90 America. and with *
a message saying that he would surely
defeat Burns when they met. Those
who have seen Roche fight say that he
Is a hard hitter and Is extremely fast
He weighs 1874 pounds, Is Ave feet, ten
inches tall and Is one OF the few fight
ers outside OF. America who uses his
feet when boxing.
He has been hghting only few
years, but has beaten all OF the best
men in Ireland. Experts believe that
his lack OF experience Will handicap
him too greatly in his fight With
Burns and that he viii not last ss long
with the champion as Moir did.
Jem Is a native OF Wexford and
does all OF his training there. He is

break out liz the large cities OF the

plans for entirely new tracks are now
under consideration for New Haven
