Boxing Exhibition on Sunday
Stirs Up Trouble.

KANSAS CITY. Mo. Aug. Is.-The
only Jawn L. Sullivan. trained up to 295
pounds, delivered a monologue at Kan
sis City, Kan, on Sunday night, and
appeared in ring cOutme with Jake Kill
rain. They made 2 few not too rapid
passes at each other, showing how
much they remembered the boxing game
OF years ago.
Three ministers read this with horror.
They constitute the Sabbath observance
committee Of the Ministerial Alliance.
They sought each other, then they
sought the county attorney, Joseph rag
CART, and asked a warrant Mr. Tag
CART told them they must first show
that the two old-time fighters really
boxed. he referred them TO Tire police
Judge. This police judge was out OF
town. ana the ministers spent a hot
afternoon hunting the acting police
judge. At noon they had not found
him, and. learning that Sullivan ana
bilrain expected 10 lie here a week, they
put IL on and viii ask for a warrant
today.

English Swimmer Gives Out
But One Mile Off
Calais.
CHANCE TO BETTER
TIME FOR CHANNEL
Would Have Shortened Mark Set
Thirty-Three Years Ago But
for Rough Water.

LONDON, Aug 1S.-After coming
within one mile of the French coast
and almost equaling the record Of Capt
Matt Webb, made thirty-three years
ago. T. W. Burgess. one of the strong
est swimmers in England, had to give
UP in the English Channel this morning,
after struggling against the storm.
Burgess was taken out of the water
at Sis O'Clock, completely exhausted,
when within sight of Calais II was
the nearest approach yet made to the
record Of Captain Webb, who swan the
twenty-five and One-half miles between
Dover and Calais in d hours and 40
minutes Burgess would undoubtedly
have reached Calais in better time
than Webb made had the channel not
been unusually rough. He VIII make
the attempt again
Three years ago, Burgess, Montague
Holbein, and Miss hellerman, the
world champion woman swimmer,
tried 20 swim the English Channel but
had to abandon the effort while stlll
several miles from Calais, The teal OF
Webb. who afterWard met death IN an
attempt 10 swim the Niagara rapids, IS
considered the greatest achievement ia
swimming history.

BURKE'S FOLLOWING
SMALL, BUT VALIANT
Majority Rely on Papke's
Science for Victory
Tonight.
By TAD.

NEW YORK, Aug Is-Billy Papke
and Sailor Burke viii box six rounds
tonight at the National Sporting Club
Papke Is expected TO win by the ma
lority, but the Burke rooters, headed
by Billy Madden and Joe MulvihiH, will
viii not be downed in their arguments.
Papke needs no argument. 1t is well
known that he is a terrible hitter, a
grand inhghter, and a boxer with the
gameness Of bulldog, Burke and
Papke are beautiful specimens of the
trained athlete
Burke is comparatively new in the
boxing game He has had some hard
goes and some easy ones. He lost TO
Hugo Kelly in five rounds. but ia the
first put Kelly on his back with a right
handler. and If he had had the necessary
experience would have won right there.
Papke fought Kelly two ten-round
goes and didn't put Kelly down once.
Papke also boxed Pat O'Keefe six
round go and only received a decision.
Willie Lewis put Pat down three times.
Papke boxed Tony CapOni a fifteen
round draw and when Tony came here
10 New York, was branded in the
Squires class That is what makes the
Burke people feel confident that their
charge will cop the change. One thing
is certain. Burke is a terrible hitter.
He knocked Johnny Carroll out with a
punch. He put Peter Maher away with
nudge. and big Jim Savage was easy.

Thomas is so confident he can whip

If Joe wins ne will rake IN over 5000.
Many local fans who regularly play the

Thomas counts on the fact he has not

Ketchel is reported fun of ginger and
confident as ever.
an ABSURD story comes from New
