PAPKE KNOCKS OUT KETCHEL
Fight Was Practically Over After
First Two Rounds,

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept 8.-Stanley
Ketchell of Michigan, former middle
weight champion of the world, was
knocked out in the twelfth round at
Jeffries' Vernon arena by Billy Papke
of Illinois, who is now middleweight
champion of the world.
Both men entered the ring in ap-
parently perfect condition and neither
had ever been knocked out. Ketchell
had had a decision over Papke in a
ten-round bout.
The bout turned out to be one of
the bloodiest in ring history. Ketchel
was plainly the favorite of the crowd,
which had bet on him at 2 to 1.
The fight was practically over a
minute and twenty seconds after the
gong sounded. From that time on 1t
was merely a question as to how long
Ketchel would last Papke fought
with such fury that the undefeated
champion was simply lifted off his
feet four times within the next minute.
lie sent Ketchel to the mat for the
count and from his first knock-down
Ketchel never really recovered his
FORM He was dazed and bleeding
from twenty blows on the face, yet he
stayed with remarkable determination
and for at least three rounds he held
his own with the victorious challenger.
When Ketchel stepped to the corner
for the second round it was seen that
his right eye was closed. At the next
intermission his seconds lanced the
eye and sucked the blood, but Ketch-
ell did not regain the sight of that eye.
Before the finish the other eye was
all but closed and during the last three
rounds he staggered about the ring
dizzily like drunken man, practically
blinded.
In the third Ketchel showed his best
form when he forced Papke through
the ropes. In the last round he SEEM
ed down and out and the gong saved
him just as he was knocked through
the ropes. Another minute finished
him with Papke almost as strong as
when he entered the ring.

Knox Had a Narrow Escape.

Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. S.-Sen.
ator Philander c. Knox of Pennsyl-
vania had narrow escape from seri-
Gus injury while returning from Eyian-
Lec-Bains to Geneva by automobile.
He was accompanied by his son and
the latter also escaped with a few
bruises and torn clothes. The mis-.
hap occurred while the automobile
was proceeding along narrow road
at good speed In passing over a
soft spot the machine skidded and ran
over the bank into a deep ditch Sen.
ator Knox was practically unhurt, and
his son, who managed to jump from
the car, was only slightly bruised
about the arms and shoulders.

Farmer Nearly Killed BY a Bull.

Marksboro. N. j., Sept. S.-Attacked
by a bull which became suddenly en-
ragged when he entered the barnyard,
Rufus Jennings, farmer, received in
juries that will probably result in his
death. The savage animal tossed Jen-
nings against fence several times,
then hurled him to the ground, and but
for the interferences of his l2-year-
old daughter and large Newfound-
land dog would have killed him on the
spot. As the dog seized the bulls
hind leg the girl dragged her father
away, but the bull shook off the dog
and attacked the girl, knocking her
down but not seriously injuring her.
The girl finally got her father out of
the barnyard and then collapsed.

Arrival of British Strike Breakers.

The first installment of British
mechanics to replace the Canadian
Pacific strike breakers arrived in
Montreal on Sunday when $50 men
were landed from the steamer Lake
Erie. They include machinists, boiler
makers and other metal workers. The
railway officials state that other parties
are now on the Atlantic and that when
they arrive the company will have a
staff almost as large as before the
strike. They intimate that there will
not be many openings for the strikers
when the strike is declared off The
new arrivals were taken to the Angus
shops, where they will be housed un-
til they can be distributed to various
points.

Death of Frank p. Sargent.

Frank Pierce Sargent, United States
commissioner general of immigra-

grand master of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen and one of the
most forceful characters in the field
of labor, immigration and allied ques-
tions in the country, died at his apart

past and, In addition, he Is OF the hrm
belief that the Republicans will be
able to carry one or more of the south
ern states that have heretofore beer
Democratic. He regards 1t practically
certain that the Republicans will break
in on the southern congressional dele.
cations, for, he says, the young Demo
Gratis OF the south are restless under
the political policies which have har-
rassed them all their lives and are am
bilious for better conditions for their
section of the country. Senator Pen
rose contends that there Is a much
greater chance for the Republicans to
carry some of the southern states than
there is for the Democrats to carry
any Republican state in the west.
There Is no question but what the
conservative people and interests OF
the country are afraid Of Mr. Bryan.
While they appreciate what virtues he
has and regard him as entertaining
and interesting, reading with pleasure
those OF his sayings that are trite,
still they are afraid Of that spirit OF
discomfort which manifests itself In
nearly every move made by Mr.. Bryan.
When he was a comparatively poor
man, struggling for attention and
money, his discomfort was looked
upon with sympathy. Now, however.
when he has grown immensely rich
by forcing the Democratic party to do
his advertising for him his discomfort
is naturally looked upon with alarm,
and his apparent determination to line
up and keep lined up the masses
against the classes and to foment dis
content among the people, even when
no political advantage is possible from
such recklessness, the danger of his
elevation to the presidency Of the
United States becomes so apparent
that blind man might see It.
A simple reading Of Mr.. Bryan's
speeches thus far in this campaign
uncovers his determination to get
votes regardless of the sacrifice the
nation may be compelled to make.
When business men in every section
are demanding rest from the conten-
tions which have been so grievously
disturbing business affairs, in his every
speech Mr.. Bryan is adding fuel to the
fire of general discomfort and doing
much toward the laying of foundations
for future revolution in this country,
A continuance OF the disturbed condi-
tions in this country would be an ex-
travagant price to pay for votes for
Mr.. Bryan. but so long as the country
has to pay the price Mr.. Bryan Is de-
termined TO get the votes, revolution
or no revolution.
1t is a fair assumption that the cleo
torate OF the nation will think serious
ly before casting votes for the presi-
Dental candida es. and It Is certain
that where there is intelligent think
ing done there will be no tendency 10
promote discomfort and disorder just
because William Jennings Bryan Is
now making his third attempt to be
president.

FOUGHT q ROUNDS.
Referee Declared AtteII.Moran
Fight a Draw.

In Blocking and His AII-Around De.
fense - Attell Had Advantage In
Nine Rounds, Moran Was Given Six
and For the Balance Honors Were
About Even.
San Francisco, Sept S.-Abe Attell,
The champion featherweight of Amer
ca, and Owen Moran, England's pre-
mier boxer in the same division,
ought to draw at the Colma open
iir arena yesterday afternoon before
about 5000 spectators. The fight
lasted % rounds and at its conclusion
Referee Jack Welch unhesitatingly
yrasped each lad by the hand, signify
Ing that the fight was indecisive
The decision seemed to please the
crowd and there were cheers for each
lighter as he wended his way from the
ringside. The fight on the whole was
rather tame, but this was offset by
The cleverness of both fighters. 1t was
marked by Moran's aggressiveness and
AttelPs cleverness in blocking and his
all-round defense. The consensus of
opinion was the Californian did not
show his best form of former contests
After the fight Moran declared:
81 broke my right hand in the Sec
ond round. After that it was almost
useless. At that | think / won by a
mile. am willing to fight Attell As
rounds, winner to take all"
A press representative visited the
Englishman in his dressing room after
the contest and carefully examined
the hand which he claimed was brok-
en-. 1t was badly swollen around the
thumb but it was not possible to veri-
fy the claim of broken bone. Nor
ans face was much battered and his
left eye was nearly closed from At
tells almost ceaseless pounding. On
tne other hand Attell emerged from
the fight without a mark. Attell gave
out statement after being informed
of Moran's challenge for a return
match
81 will fight no one As rounds. I
want to live while yet. But | will
give him return match for any num-
Der of rounds up to %. beat him at
every stage"
An examination of Attell's right
hand disclosed that the middle
knuckle was disjointed.
A resume of the fight by rounds
shows that Attell had more or less ad-
vantage in nine rounds, Moran was
given six and for the balance honors
were even.
