.KETCHELL MAY
FIGHT BURNS
YOUNG CHAMP WANTS CHANCE
AT TOMMY
ALREADY HAS BATTLES WITH
THOMAS AND PAPkE
Clever scrapper Who Disposed Of
Hugo Kelly So Easily Has
Mapped Out Strenuous
Campaign
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-stanley
Ketchell, the nliddleweight champion,
who defeated Hugo Kelly here last
night, has mapped out a program that
will keep him busy for the next two
months.
Articles have been signed for two i'm
portant matches, one to take place in
San Francisco and the other in Los
Angeles. The first will be a 20-round
contest with Joe Thomas of San Fran
cisco, which is scheduled for the night
of August Is before the Occidental
Athletic club in this city.
The men will fight at catch weights
and will receive so per cent of the gross
receipts.
Thomas and Ketchell have fought
three times during the past two years
at the middleweight limit. The first
meeting resulted in a. draw, Ketchelll
winning the other two battles by
knockouts after two of the most des-
perate battles ever waged in prize
ring,
on Labor day next Ketchell will fight
Billy Papke of Illinois before the
Jeffries Athletic club, Los Angeles. 1t
viii be a 25-round event and will be
decided in the open air on the after
noon Of that day. The fighters will re-
ceive so per cent of the gate receipts.
In the event of winning both these
matches Ketchell will challenge Tommy
Burns for the worlds heavyweight
championship.

a university, college, school or other
educational institution may consider
such institution his residence for the
purpose of registration to represent
such institution in competition"
Secretary Henry has been working
for many weeks on the plans of the
tournament and has been aided in his
efforts by a large number of persons
who are interested in swimming races
and promise to aid him further. The
various officials necessary in the tour
nament have not been chosen yet, but
probably will be selected before the
end of the week. In addition to the
regular events there has been added a
220-yard swimming race, which seems
to be such a popular event - all east
ern tournaments. The events are as
follows: 50-yard dash; 220-yard dash;
440-yard dash; 8S0-yard dash; women's
5O-yard dash; Juvenile 50-yard dash;
fancy and high diving and, probably,
motor boat race for the entertain
ment of the thousands of spectators
who yearly witness the swimming
matches.

ors of the tournament will be won by
local men Is the fact that the race is
to be in open water, while all the north
ern tournaments have been held IN
swimming tank, which, in long as
lance races, tends to make the dlt1er-
ent times much faster, because on the
turn at the end of the tank the swim
ner gets a shove with his feet from
the end of the tank, which propels MN
forward. Local swimmers have been
training in open water, and COMPARE
son of times between the horthern ana
southern boys would not be OF much
use because of this fact. -,
Earl Kyle of San Diego, protneI Oh
Wilbur Kyle, also is a probable entry,
as is Frank Holborrow of Venice, a
prominent short distance man. While
there are a lot of new men who nave
signified their intention to enter the
main events, it is not expected that
they will have much Of snow against
the older swimmers, all OF Whom can
swim the hundred yards around the
one-minute mark and, If pressed, are
capable of lowering the figure some
seconds. But every event cannot be
figured as lying between the northern
and southern champions. Walter Art
man. Frank HolborroW and a host or
other strong athletes are in the best
condition and they may spring sur
prise on the others py swimming away
with the first prize. Among other prob
able entries are William Gables,
Thomas Cohn, Al Binhoff, w E. Craw-
ford. E. o. Barnwell of the Los An
geles Athletic club water polo team;
W. M. Altman, Harvey Watkins, Clar-
ence Brady, Jack Henry, A. F. Tolty,
George w. McManus, Clarence Holbor-
row and Guy Travilla.
The meet is recognized and sane
toned by the Pacific Athletic associa-
ton of the Amateur Athletic associa-
ton of the United States, and records
will be recorded officially. Another in
centive for local entries will be the
swimming tournament for the cham
pionship of the Pacific coast, which
will be held In San Francisco after
this tournament, and the swimmers
making the best showing here will be
eligible to try for the laurels of the
Pacific coast.
Entry blanks for the tournament
may be had from the secretary of the
Southern California Swimming associ-
alton, Leslie Henry, at 116 West Third
street, Los Angeles. AS there always
is a rush of entries during the last
week, Henry urges those who intend
to enter to procure blanks at as early
a date as possible and thus relieve the
congestion that usually occurs. He
| also wishes to call attention of swim
mers to the fact that the meet
