CARAVAN LEADS WINNING OWNERS
IN PURSES WON AT SANTA ANITA

the game, but the actual scoring of
the blows landed is not the whole story
of the battle. 1t makes no allowance
for the strength displayed by Papke.
Kelly was more of the sparring order
and landed possibly more frequently
than Papke He landed hard, but
Papkes rushes repeatedly had Kelly
apparently all to the bad That Kelly
was able to remain on his feet after
the battering he received speaks well
for his stamina.
Chicago Sports on Hand
There was a big crowd OF Chicago
sports here for the mill, to say nothing
Of the fans from Peoria and Bloom
ington. Before the fight the odds were
to on Kelly, but when the Papke
supporters arrived the shift was to
the Papke side of the board. When
the men went into the ring Papke
money was being waved, but without
takers Meanwhile down town there
was Kelly money untaken.
Another match seems certain. Both
men said after the battle they were
sure Of the victory in case of a second
meeting. Papke claims he hammered
Kelly to a pulp. Kelly's hand was al
most broken in the fourth, and he could
not use it effectively after that so bad
ty was 1t swollen. Kelly says this cost
him the fight, and the story of the fight
by rounds shows Kelly had the better
of it to that time
The preliminaries were tame with
the exception of the semi-wind-up,
scheduled for eight rounds, between
Nelson of Calumet and Wolgast of Mil
waukee. Wolgast started with a show
er of blows. and after a minute of fight
ing Nelson went to the floor and did
not wake up for minute and haf.
