Vernon Arena, Los Angeles, September I-Stanley Ketchell of Michigan former middleweight champion of the world was knocked out in the twelfth round at lief. fries Vernon Arena at o'clock this aft ernoon by Billy Papke of Illinois, who is now middleweight champion of the world
 It was case of the illinois thunder bolt' against a Michigan killer" and the thunderbolt won
 Both men entered the ring in apparent perfect condition, and neither had ever been knocked out. Ketchel had a de- cision over Papke in a previous 1O-round CTS, but the bout ended as one of the bloodiest in ring history.
 Ketchell was plainly the great favorite of the crowd, which had been betting on him at to 1. When Papke entered, he walked blthely to Ketchells corner and greeted him with a handshake and a cor dial smile, but when James J. Jeffries, the referee, called time, and Ketchell walked to the center, extending his hand for the start Papke ignored the hand and sailed into the Michigan man with the fiery impetuosity which entitled him to be called the "thunderbolt" The fight was practically over l minute and 20 seconds after the gong sounded. From mat time on it was merely a question Of how long Ketchell would last Papke tore into Ketchell with such fury that the undefeated champion was simply lifted off his feet four times within the next minute. Papl1e knocked Ketchell to the mat for the count and from his first knock-down Ketchell never really recov- cred his form. He was defeated man, dazed, blowing, struggling from 20 blows in the face, and yet he came back and stayed with a terrible determination, and for at least three rounds held his own with the challenger

By winning two games from Birning- ham yesterday the stock of the Pelicans raced upward with bounds.
 In the morning game there occurred a miserable exhibition of pitching, in which three men participated. and two or more batting rallies that maintained interest at fever heat.
 In the afternoon while Ford pitched a fairly good game, Fritz was in excel lent form and won with comparative ease The hitting of Henline was the fea- ture of the afternoon bout, he having smashed out four safe ones in as many times at the bat. Imperfect work on the part of Umpire Fitzsimmons marred the sport, and eliclted a storm of abuse from the spectators. Walters surprised every body by striking out four times in suc- cession, a thing which the best fielding second baseman in the world has never previously done. Another interesting in- cident of the game was the work of Meek, who, on account of the illness of Larsen, performed on the tertiary cor ner
 Some Heavy Firing.
 Fleharty started the first game, but to- gether with wildness and ineffectiveness lasted but three innings during which time the visitors piled up four runs.
 With Bauer twirling the visitors were checked for a couple of innings, and in the sixth successive doubles by Raub and Douglass netted four runs, tying the score.
 But in the seventh Bauer flied the coop, became additionally wild and yield ed a number of hits The visitors piling up three runs leaped far to the front In the ninth the Barons threatened to hammer Bartley from the box. With one out and Douglass and Walters on sacks Meek stung a double to right scoring both men. Henline hit safely to center, but Meek, who had not got as good a start as might have been obtained, check ed his progress at third. Downey flied out to Rickert and the game was lost. Matthews was the whole cheese in the afternoon engagement He smashed out a triple which netted a run, made circus throw to second which placed a runner on third, dropped a ball at the plate which scored Henline with the only run, and came very near being spiked

 Catcher Matthews Starred.
 Matthews three-bagger which netted the first run was hit in the second in ming. In the third Tarleton hit safely, stole second, went to third on Ford s error and stole home while Matthews loped down to second.
 In the seventh base on balls to Fritz, followed by Montgomerys single and an infield out, netted the visitors their third run. Their fourth was a gracious gift of the umpire, who called Mil safe at first when he should have been numbered with the slain. He later scored on two successive hits.
 The sole run of the Barons was made in the third Henline opened with hit. Downey beat out a hunt. Molesworth sacrificed both men base, and Henline scored on Raubs infield hit. followed by Matthews error at the plate.
 Both games were well attended, the largest crowd of the season with the ex- ception of the reunion games, attending Remaining details are in

One Eye Closed.

When Ketchell stepped to the center for the second round it was seen that his right eye was closed. At the next in termission his seconds lanced the eye and sucked the blood, but Ketchell never re- gained the sight of his right eye. Be- fore the finish the other eye was all but closed, and for the last three rounds he staggered about the ring dizzily like a drunken man, practically blinded In the third Ketchell showed his best form when he forced Papke through the ropes.
 The gong saved Ketchell just as he was knocked through the ropes Another minute finished him, with Papke almost as strong as when he entered the ring ketchell was carried to his dressing room Both eyes were swollen into great black puffs and completely closed. His lips were cut and swollen to several times their normal size

First Round.

Round 1-Papke led with left and rushed Ketchell into a corner, landing four blows on the head. He then stepped in, but Ketchell caught him on the chin with his left. Papke knocked Ketchell down with a right and left to the face and he got up groggy. Papke knocked him down again with right and left to the mouth and Ketcnell took the count of nine. Again Papke sent him down with left and right to face. Ketch- ell came up again as the gong rang. He was groggy and bleeding freely from the mouth
 In the second round Ketchell came up groggy and Papke went to him like a tiger sending him staggering around the ring. Papke landed repeatedly on Ketch- els head, but was unable to knock him out. His eyes were blinded with blood and he could do little but cling to Papke. Papke exhausted himself by his efforts and was unable to put his man out. Ketchell was stronger at the close of this round than at the finish of the first
 In round three Ketchell was stronger and forced the fight He missed two right swings and Papke uppercut him again, bringing blood. Ketchell then landed left on Papkes ear and the crowd cheered. For a moment Ketchell appeared little stronger.

Ketchell came up strong in the fourth, but Papke quickly landed right on the mouth and started the blood again. Papke was covered with blood from his opponent. Ketchell landed two rights to body missed vicious right for the head and with a hard left on Papkes face. Ketchells left eye was then closed. Both men stood with heads down, neither att tempting to land. when the gong sounded. Papke was bleeding from the mouth. Ketchelfs face was in terrible condition.
 In the fifth Ketchell forced tie fight ing but both men were very weak They repeatedly clinched and Jeffries had to separate them. Papke finally landed vici- ously with the right on Ketchelrs face, bringing blood afresh. Both men were too weak to land effectively. Papke showed no signs of punishment but he was badly winded.
 In the sixth Papke landed terrific right on Ketchelrs face, but Ketchell continued to advance on his antagonist in spite of the punishment. Just before the gong sounded Papke landed a terrific left on the solar plexus and Ketchell al- most immediately dropped into his cor ner, but the gong saved him.
