WANTS FLING
AT TOMMY BURNS NEXT
BY STANLEY KETCHEL

Well, i am the only champion
who ever came back in recent
years and regained his title by
scoring n clean knockout. 1 made
good with all my friends, but 4
did not win as quickly as 1
thought i would. Now L am ready
for Tommy Burns, provided he
beats johnson. Burns is my dish.
1 want that heavy weight title
and 1 am going to get Ii yet. /
will not fight johnson, for I have
drawn the color line for keeps.
AS for Papke, 1 have nothing good
to say about him, and therefore L
will remain silent. Everybodv who
saw the fight knows what hap
pened and therefore there Is no
need for me to make any COM
ments. Before entering the ring
again / am going to take a good,
long rest. L have been fighting
too much lately and 1 am sure
that 1 will be better man than
ever with n few months layOff.

Papke was down for IL seconds
and was clearly knocked out. j
counted plain and distinctly and
he must have heard me. Even
had he gotten to his feet ketcheI

he was waiting with his right
arm ready to deliver the waIlOp.
1t was one of the best fights I
have ever seen, but EetcheI had
it all the way. He landed a cOu-
pie of body punches in the fourth
round which took all the fight out
of Papke, and the latter could
never come back, though he ap-
peared smiling and confident all
the time. Papke never seemed to
make good with his leads and al
lowed kefchel to beat him TO the
punch every time. Ixetchel was a
great surprise to me. He fought
a grand fight and deserved to win.
Both men kept UP wonderfully
well, considering the fast pace
which was set throughout.
