POLICE KEPT
 BUSY SUNDAY
More Arrests Were Made Than Dur ing Any Day Last
 Week.

While crime was not rampant, yester- day was not what is termed a quiet day at police headquarters. Although it was Sunday the number of arrests made by the police yesterday exceeds that of any one day during the past week.
 There were nearly 30 prisoners locked up in the city jail during the day. Most of the offenses were minor ones, although the warden's docket showed several cases of Aggravated disorderly conduct and three or four Aggravated drunks."
 Sunday is generally a very quiet day at the city jail, but the dullness was broken yesterday by the occasional en- try of a new prisoner.

 Both lots of imported men were placed in their respective mines without interference or demonstrations of any kind.

 No further evidence is needed than this card to show where lies the responsi- bility for these disorders and crimes: no other connection need be shown than what these officials aver over their own signatures and the remedy lies in their speedy arrest and certain punishment. This in the name of justice in behalf of law and order and to vindicate the good name of Birmingham and the state of Alabama. In no other way can this reign of crime be stopped and Birming- ham be permitted to go forward toward its higher destiny. N. F. THOMPSON.

The Salt Lake City football
team, one of the crack teams of
the west, will arrive this after
noon for it's game Thanksgiving
day against the south central high
school team. Coach Kennedy had
his men hard at practice in a driz-
zling rain yesterday so as to fit
the boys to play on a slippery
ground in case there is rain to-
morrow. The Salt Lake lineup:
Kirby, tackle; Richardson, end;
Goodspeed, half; Eckstein, guard;
Martineau, guard; Harris, end;
Tomlinson, half; Yates, tackle;
Romney, half; Korns, center;
Thomas, quarter; Howard, end;
Gallagher, end.
There will be substitutes enough
with the team to fill up in case
of any injuries. Or if it is seen
that any of the players haven't
steam enough against the Spokane
boys, Coach R. S. McNeice will
make changes.
The well known Spokane line
up follows: Kienholz, left end;
Englehorn, left tackle; Anderson,
left guard; Jensen, center; Mohr,
right guard; Hughes, right tackle;
Fancher, right end Captain Rice,

BY RINsjpER

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-
On the morrow Bill Papke OF Ka-
vance, ILL.,, and Stanley Ketchel
of Grand Rapids, Mich, will in.
dulge in a bit of mitt-slinging in
Coffroth's famed waIlop emporium
here. In anticipation of the event

in the prospect of seeing the
cream of the years bloomsbury
cards, while sports in nearby
towns, all properly enthused, are
packing the old carpet bags to-
night so as not to miss the big
scrap. by gum!
The Papke-Ketchel fight has a
little history all of it's own. Jack
Gleason, a local promoter, appar-
enf'v had the match all saddled
and buckled for the Coliseum to-
night and all was going along
quite merrily for Gleason until
Willy Willis Britt, manager of Bat
Ting Nelson and Napoleon of pugi-
listic intrigue. arrived from the
east and saw the opportunity of
tearing the match away. While
the sporting world was slumber.

minute of the time and one day
came to Promoter Coffroth, after
having been assured that the fight.
ers would throw the hooks to Glea-
son, and offered the proprietor of
the Mission arena the Queensbury
classic on silver platter.
Coffroth is essentially business
man. He grabs anything the looks
good to him and it took him but a
minute to decide that Britt's pugi-
listic piracy was all to the good
as far as he was concerned and
before Jack Gleason knew just
what was going on, the managers
of Papke and Ketchel had scratch
ed their names to a set of articles
calling for the championship fight
in Coffroth's stadium.
AS to the fighters, they are
thoroughly fit For the past three
weeks they have been working
like Trojans at their training
camps, Papke with a view of rel
peating his former decisive victory
and Ketchel with deeply imbedl
ded desire for vengeance. This
morning Papke weighed 157k
pounds while Ketchel went him
one pound better. The boys are
to make 1853 at 1870 tomorrow
morning and both will be at the
required notch to a certainty.
In the betting on the mill, Papke
has steadily remained a to 10
favorite, while some bets at even
money have been recorded that
Ketchel does not last 20 rounds.
Jack Welch is to referee the
bout, which is expected to be the
fastest 20 round fight seen between
middleweights since the days of
Jack Dempsey.
