stamps the young Michigan giant as
one of the most spectacular fighters

Up to July 4. 1907, Ketchel was a

tore into the champion and had him on

to the experience of Thomas. he dallied
long enough to get a draw This fight
gave Ketchel a start and he at once

The memorable fight between Thomas
and Ketchel at the Mission street arena
on last Labor day is still fresh in the
the ringside. Most of them figured
that Thomas had an OF day the first
time, and. consequently. they again
rode the San Francisco boy, bur to
their sorrow. Ketchel cleaned him in
81 rounds and then everybody began to
sit up and take bit of notice
ketchel was on his way and nobody
seemed able to stop him. The third
meeting with Thomas at the ball park
last December was walkover for
Ketchel. Next came Mike (Twin) Sui
Ivan, who lasted a round. After him
his brother Jack came out clamoring e
for chance at the busher. He got
the CHARGE and. incidentally, his in the
twentieth round. After this battle we
all woke up ard admitted that Ketcnel
