KETCHELL IS NOW
DOWN TO WEIGHT
Montana Man Has Little Trou-
BILE in Training for Papke
Fight.
BY w. ]. sRANIGAN.

San Francisco, Cab, Nov. 2f.-Stanley
Ketchel is already down to weight for
his Thanksgiving cay fight with Billy
.Papke. and has had but little trouble
in reducing TO the figure the articles
call for. despite-the fact that he weighed
over $50 pounds when he started train
ing.
There is something almost unnatural
about the way Ketchel reduces weight
with little effort Time and again he
has had to take off from ten TO fifteen
pounds, yet he has yet the first time to
resort to the usual drying out processes
such as so often sap the vitality of
fighters who find trouble in reducing a
Young Corbett had when in his prime.
Ketchel is a different man than he
was while in training for his last match
with Papke. That time ne thought il
a cinch. and about the most severe work
he resorted to was running his automo.
bile and boxing few rounds leisurely
each day between the times spent in
pleasure trips. Now he knows that he
must work, and he is doing so with a
vengeance. He is confident that he will
regain his lost lau-els and as cheerful
about his training work as a man might
b. in attending a good show.
His daily training stunt consists of
two three-round settos with Charley
Meyers and Mike Mcclure. his sparring
partners, each afternoon. Next he plays
handball at top speed for ten minutes,
punches the bag for another ten min
uteS rOughs it in wrestling for five min
utes and winds up by fifteen minutes of
hard work with the medicine ball all
under the direction of Willie O'Keefe.
his trainer.
Forfeits His Thousand.
O'Keefe tells OF narrow escape
Ketchel had few days ago while out
speeding in his auto. The engine
stopped on him and his mechanic got
out to crank up for start, when the
cram, suddenly flew back. striking him
on the wrist and almost severing his
hand. Ketchel had him taken TO Mt.
Sinai hospital 10 be treated at his eX-
pense. and he is very devotedly atten-
tive to him. The narrow escape for
Ketchel comes from the fact that he
is always up on his toes and generally
does the cranking whenever that has to
be done, while he is out speeding.
KetcheIs manager, Joe O'Connor, for
feits $1,000 by the switch of,the fight to
the Colma club for Thanksgiving after
noon. instead of il taking place on
Thanksgiving eve. but viii more than
make it up by the increase in receipts,
for Coffroth's club has double the Seat
ing capacity of the one controlled by
Gleason, yet none too great for the i'm
mense crowd which the advance sale
inSures.
Papke is putting in some hard ticks
and expresses even greater confidence
than Ketchel. In fact. both are as con-
tident as men well can be before enter
ing the ring to fight for championship.
Papke has made great hit here with
the sportSmen. He sports a little cap
which sets rakishly on the top of his
head. wears extreme boyish looking
clothes and looks more like a college
football player than q fighter He is
seldom without a smile on his face and
his disposition is as sunny as his face.

EVANS TALKS ON

Both major leagues are full of crafty,

Few twirlers of the present day have
the natural ability to jump from some
place not on the map and meet with in
slant success in either the National or
American league. Even if they have the
ability, there are few managers willing
to take the chance.
Walter johnson is one of the-very few
pitchers who have come from nowhere

classed as one of the greatest pitchers IN

Treated as a Joke.

When Joe Cantillon signed Johnson he
did not have any idea what he was get
ting. Numerous friends of Cantillon's out
west had touted the youngster to the
skies, and as Joe was a bit shy on twirl-
ers and always anxious to pick up a good
one, he decided to take a long shot on
the westerner.
Among the players the signing of John
son was treated as a bit of joke. l hap
pened to be working in Washington at
the time he was due to arrive, and his
coming was the talk of the town. When
ever pitcher would get hit a trifle hard
the other players would inform him that
he had better brace up, as Johnson was
coming.
Johnson had been pitching for a bush
team at Weiser. Ida. and he was the
wonder of that section. He went some
thing like seventy-eight innings without
being scored on, and it was a bad day
for him if ne did not strike out at least
ten of his opponents All these records
preceded Johnson, and perhaps no player
ever came into the big league with such
glowing press notices. His wonderful feats
we're treated rather lightly, however, as
most of the fans and players figured
that most any old pitcher could do the
same as johnson against rube teams

Had Detroit Guessing.

The schedule called for the appearance
OF Detroit on the following dsy. and Can
tillon decided 10 give Johnson something
to do right off the reel. He had the
megaphone man announce that Cantillon
had decided TO use Johnson against De-
troit on the morrow. Detroit at that time
was fighting for the pennant so it can
be seen what Johnson was up against
Johnson warmed up so fast that after
noon that ] saw that my protector was
We'll filled before taking my place back
of the catcher. Naturally the Detroit
players did everything possible TO worry
the green youngster. but he refused TO
fall for their game His speed was mar
veIous and the hard hitters of the De.
troit team were at his mercy for the
first six innings.
The score at this time was ] to 0 in
favor of Washington, with Bill Donovan
working like a clock for the Tigers In
his desperation to win Jennings told mis-
players TO shift to the bunting game. De
spite his great speed Crawford. Jones AMI
Cobb laid down three pretty hunts one
of which Johnson played late tc second.
An out and an error Melted the Tigers
two runs in the seventh. which proved TO
be enough to win.

Thought He Was Lost.

So many things were written and said
about johnson that Cantillon was anx-
ious for the arrival of the western won
der. Joe sent him message to join
Washington at once, and few days later
received a reply from johnson that he
was on the way. Nothing was heard from
him for over week and Cantillon was
just about convinced that Johnson must
have refused The transportation and start
ed to walk
One morning late in the season of 1857
a crowd Of players and fans was sitting
in front of the Regent hotel in Washing
ton when tall youngster wearing a
big SLOUGH hat presented himself at the
hotel and asked for Cantillon. The Wash
had sized the big fellow up as johnson
as he entered the hotel. and he had him
under his wing almost before he had made
known his identity to the clerk
Johnson looked like a great big bow
and acted the part. He answered all Of
Cantillon's questions in a few words and
when asked about some of he bush feats
credited to him only smiled and said any
body could have done the same against
the teams he pitched against. 1t is safe
to say that no more unassuming fellow
ever broke into fast company

ed to have Johnson pitch to the boys in

Chicago was the attraction at Washing

both teams in the batting practice that is

ing that Johnsod had not done any pitch

him to be careful. take things easy AMI

MOUNTAIN ACCIDENT.
James MOssie Sustains Broken Leg
When Horse Falls.

James Mossie, a prominent stock
man of southern Umatilla county, was
the victim of very painful accident
il the mountains last Monday, the
news being brought to this city last
evening by Henry Lazinka, another
well known stockman OF that part of
the county.
1t seems that Mr. Mossie was riding
in company with Walter Allison on a
trail between Long Meadow and
Round Meadow, when his horse fell
with him in such a manner as to
break his leg. Allison Immediately
went in search of assistance to get
the men to his home. but he had
great difficulty in finding anyone to
help him, so that it was o'clock
the next morning before he was de-
livered at his home and a physician
called.
BY that time the injured limb was
so badly swollen that It could not be
set and the doctor began the task of
reducing the swelling.
Though the injury is a very pain
full one, it is hoped that the broken
bones can be set successfully ana
without permanent injury.
