Tennis Match Won on
Fast Net Work
By Grant Smith

Miss Hazel Hotchixiss, state cham
pion tennis player, regained the bay
counties championship title on the park
courts yesterday. After holding the
title for two years she lost 1t to Miss
Coda Myer a year ago. The victory

are really no high class men now in
America If one were to search the
claims of the heavy weights carefully
AL Kaufman, the big California horse
shoer, would top the list. but that de-
feat he suffered at the hands of Jack
O'Brien still looms big and threaten
weight possibility. For all that, Kauf-
man is about the most prominent of
the heavy ring men now in America,
and he may yet have TO be reckoned
Since O'Brien beat Kaufman the big
fellow has been coming along nicely
and he is fighting at top speed now.
His polishing off of Bradley Friday
night while no marvellous perform
ance, is quite a feather in the Kauf-
man cap.
In the middle weight class the return
en- ga cement between Billy Papke and
Stanley Ketchel. which Jack Gleason
has carded for Thanks giving day, looks
very attractive. OF course Papke did
things TO Ketchel in their last meet
ing that were very unclubIike and
many of the fight fans think he will
repeat
After Papke stiffened KetcheI in
their last meeting the Michigan mauler
put forth the claim of lack Of con-
dition. Be that as ii may. Papke gave
Ketchel as pretty a dressing as any of
Armours butchers ever slipped a Texas
steer, and when the Thunderbolt got
through with Ketchel 1t took a corps
of surgeons to patch Stanley up again
so that his features would hang in uni
son.
Ketchel says he viii not be caught
out of condition Thanksgiving day, and
he is up at Point Arena getting close
to nature so as to be fit for his next
trial with the Kewanee whirlwind.
A match between the winner of this
battle and Hugo Kelly should prove
very attractive. Kelly has fought
Papke twice and they were both close
and hard fights. In these Papke-Kelly
battles Kelly scored three knockdoWns
while Papke failed to disturb the
equipOise of the Italian.
Ketchel did for Kelly very speedily
when that pair hooked up before Ma
risch's club, but the fans who saw that
battle were very much taken with the
Kelly style of milling, and many of
them claim that Kelly's early upset at
the hands of Ketchel was both untime-
ly and accidental.
While the fight lasted it was as ar
tistic a mill as has been seen here
abouts in a twelvemonth. Kelly's work
was stamped all over with class. He
displayed d remarkable precision in
landing his punches, and had he not
grown careless in the second round and
fallen afoul of Ketchel's terrible shift
there might have been a different con-
clusion to that battle. At any rate
the fight fans of San Francisco would
like extremely well to see Kelly in.

once more. His showing against Ket-
chel entities him to future considera-
tion at the hands of the local promo
