Ketchel. Not only did Ketchel con-
sent to meet the Illinois man, after
the latter gets through with Hugo
Kelly. but he also states that Papke

often as he pleases. The men have
met thrice.
Both men We're around the streets
yesterday and neither showed the eff

are a trifie bloodshot about the eyes
as the result of blows which landed
there. and Papke's nose is a trifie
swollen, but in no sense unsightly
But that each was in the pink of con
dition is evidenced by the fact that
the muscles of their faces and bodies
were so hardened that not a bruise is
visible in spite of the terrific .wallops
each received.
To Keep His Engagement.
Papke will keep his engagement
with Hugo Kelly at Los Angeles Dec

work to get that bout for San Fran

meet Ketchel before he boxes Papke

ranged it would not be surprising tt

With the close of the football sea
son for the tri-cities comes the desire
of the players and their friends to
know the individual standing of the
different men on the different teams,
and it is customary for an ail-star
eleven to be chosen by different fol
lowers of the game who are credited
with thorough knowledge of the
The picking of an aIl-star' team this
year appears after due consideration
to be far easier than it has for many
years, as there have been good men
in every department of the game who
have stood out from the rest of the
men in the same position with con
siderable prominence. The shining
lights of the season have nearly all
been back field men, and there is little
or no difficulty in choosing the four
men to fill this part of the all-star
team. Woodyatt of Moline is without
doubt the premier quarterback of the
three high schools, and while he die
not show up as well this year as he
did last, the fault was more in the
quality of the men he had to aid hin
than i'll any loss of ability. Woodyatt
played a remarkable game, handicap
ped as he was by a leg which KEEP
him out of the early practice ant
games. He was the surest man ON re

1t is possible that this unique match
will be three cornered affair and
that Australia will be drawn into it.
The British society has provided a
handsome trophy to be held for one
year by the winning country, and each
participant will receive a commem-
orative medal Considerable prepara-
ton will be necessary for the match,
which will likely not take place until
midwinter. The National Rife asso-
citation will shortly begin selecting
the fifty shots to represent the United
States, and as 1t is desired to secure
the best 1t is probable that all the
rifle clubs affiliated with the associa-
ton will be invited to compete for the
honor of supplying members of the
team. After the ''tryouts" team will
be selected, and when the match is
shot the men chosen will shoot their
strings on the range belonging to
their own clubs. If possible, the dates
will be arranged so that the shooting
will be done in both countries, or all
three, If Australia comes in, on the
same date, though necessarily there
will be some difference in actual time
The challenge provides that any
rifle not exceeding % caliber may be
used, with any sights not employing
glass, any ammunition, and that any
position may be assumed. The Ameri-
cans will probably request that the
latter be changed and that the provi-
sion be restricted to offhand. 1t is
believed the challengers will agree to

rapidity. the sport has not yet the
popularity or the support 1T receives
in England Some of the greatest
men and women of the latter country
give it their hearty encouragement and

of Miniature Rifle Clubs is under the
patronage of II. r. II. the Duke of
Connaught, while the two trustees are

of England and the Duke of West

men of the year, and his ability at
running a team played large share
in the victories of Moline.
Lift mt Half.
Lift of Rock Island is easily the
first choice for halfback as he was in
a class by himself He was the main
spring of the Rock Island team and
his work had probably more to do
with the games won by Rock Island
than did that of Woodyatt for Moline
He was the best defensive man on the
field this year, tackling hard and low
and rarely failing to get his man
The selection of the other halfback
has to be made after careful consid
GRAFTON of relative conditions of the
two chief eligibles. Block of Daven
port undoubtedly has it on Hart oil
Moline i'll general, allaround playing
but the fact that an injury kept him
out the greater part of the season
while Hart was in every game makes
| it advisable to select the Moline half
back, as his physical condition vii
allow him to stand the strain of
hard game, which Block cannot do
Hart is a clever man for his weight
and can be depended upon for hard
consistent playing.
| Wyland ut FuIIback.
| The fullback position belongs to WY
land without question. The Molin,
man has played a star game through
out the season, and has proved him
self a powerful man, especially OF
carrying the ball through the line an
off tackle. Weighing over 40 pound
and being sprinter, his attack is a
most irresistible, and he has tor
large holes in the lines of all tn
teams he played against this yeal
!, With Woodyatt. Lift, Hart and Wy
land in the back field the all-star tear
could be fairly sure of a gain on ever
play. Lift and Woodyatt are bot
clever men with the forward pas:
and some surprising combination
could be worked out for them
The picking of the line for the al
stars is considerably more difficu
than choosing the back field. TIL
line men do not have the chance t
stand out prominently as the back
do, and for that reason it is harder {
tell just who is doing the work
