San Francisco, Nov. 27.-Stanley
Ketchel regained the middleweight
championship of the world by knock
ing out Billy Papke in the eleventh
round of their bout in Jimmy Coff
roth's arena yesterday afternoon. Be
fore a crowd OF fully 5000, the two put
up desperate struggle, a brief lull in
the third round being the only quiet
interval in the go.
1t was the second case in the his
tory of the American ring wherein a
champion, orce defeated. regained his
title. The cply other instance was
when Jack Dempsey, after losing to
George La Blanche, came back and
trimmed his man decisively.
From the time the men put up their
hands to start a furious first period
until the very close of the bout, the
issue hung in the balance. Even
when Ketchel seemed to have the edge
at the close OF the tenth, when Billy
appeared groggy from the shower OF
blows landed upon him. Papke was
able to come back with counters which
kept the supporters of Ketchel uneasy

cessive Time-CarlisIe Indians Win

Philadelphia, Nov. 27.-Pennsylvania
gave Cornell hard beating in their
annual Thanksgiving day battle on
Franklin field yesterday afternoon. By
a thrilling display of spectacular for
ward passes and other variations of up
todate football Pennsy ran the score
up to II to A. Although outplayed by
a decisive margin, the work of the
Comedians never lost its dash, and the
Ithacans were still going full tilt at the
finish, but fighting an uneven battle.
An enormous crowd of $4,000 people
witnessed the game, and followers of
| old Penn are claiming for their team
rank equal to Harvard. Pennsy fin
ished the season without a defeat, and
lunquestionably has been playing a
| brand of football more modern than
Harvard's or any other eastern team.
| PENIS forward passes were the feat
ure of the engagement. The whole
game abounded in open plays, long
runs and much punting, which made
the battle Of intense interest to the
spectators.
| Cornell had little advantage in the
| first half, when Valdez. with the wind
at his back. outpunted Hollenbach. But

STOP DRINKING.

Orrine destroys the Craving TOR Drink.
Cure Effected or Money Refunded.
1t was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once a year, and
sometimes in every fit of remorse that
followed his debauches, and then
Break it.
But now it is gradually dawning on
the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. When a man takes a
pledge voluntarily, he expects to keep
it. Every man expects to keep his
word, and every broken pledge costs
the drunkard many a heartache. But
he cannot help it. He fights as long
as he can, then succumbs to the cray
ing. The nervous system of the habit
ual drinker is diseased and he must
have treatment that will cure this con
dition.
Orrine is sold under a positive guar
antee to cure the drink habit or the
money will be refunded. No other
treatment for the liquor habit is sold
with such a liberal guarantee.
Orrine is prepared in two forms; No
a powder, perfectly tasteles and col
orless, which can be given secretly
in any food or drink. Orrine No. 2
is in pill form, for those who wish tC
be cured of the habit, and it should be
taken by every one who swears off.
No matter which form of Orrine is
used the guarantee is the same. The
price of Orrine is 81 per box, mailed
in plain sealed wrapper upon receip
of price. Write for free booklet OF

Neither Claimed Foul.
1t was fairly won battle, without
single foul blow occurring. While the
men roughed it and wrestled about the
ring for one-half minute at a time
neither made a complaint to the
referee and each seemed to like this
style of going. Even when Papke
dashed upon Ketchel in the fifth, lock-
ing him in 4 tight embrace. with the
result that both went whirling off the
elevated ring and fell heavily into the
laps of the newspaper men about the
platform, scattering telegraph instru-
ments and copy" right and left, there
was no complaint of foul.
Endurance told the tale this time.
Neither could get in the decisive first
punch which had won for each in their
two previous bouts. The contest was
resolved into grinding mill of the
hammer-and-tongs sort and it was in
the ninth that the end could be seen.
Papke was taking his punishment
jauntily enough and always smiled as
he walked &c his corner. But the
shower of blows on face and stomach
had clearly told. He came back wildly
in the tenth, striking out desperately
in the hope that a stray blow would go
in. But Ketchel was cool and col
lected and kept hammering him
steadily.
Even then Billy came up fast for the
eleventh but it was only TO meet a
crashing punch that sent him to the
floor He tCCk the count of nine and
arose a beaten man. His knees were
shaking and he did not rise entirely
over with guard thrown up above his
head.
Papke Twice on Floor.
Ketchel leaped on him like a tiger
and sent his right four times in sue
ceSsion to Biiiys head without Teceiv-
ing return. Then he swung his left
and landed squarely on the jaw. Papke
fell with terrific force at full length,

as he beat tie other up and down to
indicate the count, in the midst of the
wild uproar which made hearing out of
the question. Just as he swung his
arm for the last time and turned to
hold up Ketchel's hand Papke stag
gered to his feet. He was dazed aud
bleeding from the nose and was clearly
beaten man. He arose about one
second too late, but the result would
not have been affected.
Both men were bleeding slightly at
intervals from the seventh round on,
