Milwaukee. Wis. June 6.-Stanley Ket-
che!l seems to be a somewhat different
combatant. He electrified the sporting
world with his mastery showing against
that tough proposition. Billy Papke He
simply fought rings around the "Thun-

looked mighty hazy to Bill after he sam
pied the weight Of that first fearful
crack on the jaw. It was the Identical
bit of fast work that settled for Mike
(Twin) Sullivan. Papke had been warned
about IT, but. somehow. it got by.
Ketchelrs rise in the game Of cuff has
been startling. Scarcely a year in fast
company, he has toppled over some pretty
classy artists. Many seemed to think
that he had reached the end OF his rope
when he agreed to toe the mark with
Wild Bill. They predicted that he would
be swept off his feet by the tide Of Papks
punches, but 1t was Bill himself who was
upset.
The Montana lad Is gaining weight

grown heavyweight, and those who are
familiar with the finer points Of boxing

saw him NOV down Billy Rapke cannot
but think he is the first real successor
to the crown held by Jim Jeffries.

That is why America leads the whole

that may be a slight factor. II isn't the

FRESHMAN CREW WINNER.
Takes Feature of IntercInss Races
at Princeton.

Princeton. n. J.. June 6-Perfect
weather and a typical commencement
crowd Of more than 10000 persons made
the annual Princeton interclass regatta,
held on Lake Carnegie to-day, a striking
success.
Never before in the long history OF
Princeton have as many people been in
town. Everybody saw the races. The
big event Of the regatta, the eight-oared
for the four classes, was won by the
freshmen.
The first-year men showed exceptional
ability as oarsmen, pulling a pretty. even
stroke, and the Tiger youngsters had the
race well in hand from the start Their
time was 1886. over a two-nile course.
The juniors finished second. with the
sophomores third. The seniors were six
lengths behind the sophOmOres.
Not only did the freshmen take first
honors in the main event. but they won
the four-Oared contest, too. This was
between 1911 and 1910. The sophomOres
had no show from the start. The dis
lance was a mile, and the time 4:45.

SPORTING COMMENT
By THE SCORER.

The disbanding or the Union League
means that it will be years before another
professional ball club invades this city to
attempt 10 compete with the Nationals
for the patronage OF the fans of Wash
ington.
When the announcement was first made
that the outlaws would place a strong
club here, there was a feeling that the
Union team would prosper, the argument
being that the city had tired Of support
ing tail-end team. and would be will
Ing TO switch to a club capable of win
ming fair proportion OF games.
The proposition looked good. and sew
eral local capitalists were anxious to get
the franchise and run the team on high
scale. When asked for a price on the
franchise, President Lawson refused 10
SELL declaring that he would not agree
to allow the league 10 enter Washing
ton unless he be given a controlling in
terest. He said that he would be in a
position TO do everything necessary to
give Washington a strong team, as he
believed that this would develop into one
OF the best cities in the circuit. Under
these conditions. Washington people un-
dertook to handle the club, but when
more money was needed Lawson refused
TO furnish it, and no one else was willing
TO buy stock under the existing condi-
tions.
As each other team in the league came
here the Washington hackers learned
that instead OF being a Union League. the
organization, was practically owned out
right by Lawson. the president holding
the majority of stock In more than half
OF the clubs.
This put Lawson in absolute control,
and. Of course. under those conditions 1t
was impossible for the venture 10 exist
for one-third Of a season.
The dire failure that attended the inva-
sion Of the Lawson league means that
the present generation OF fans has seen
the last of outlaw baseball In Washington.
Georgetown Out of Rowing.
The passing Of Georgetown as factor
in intercollegiate aquatlcs is bitter blow
not only to rowing here. but to the Pough-
keepsie regatta as well.
No more popular crew ever backed W
10 the stake boats on the Hudson thar
the eight fostering the Blue and Gray.
Looked upon more or less as an outsider
not likely to win. but depended upon to
take a lot Of beating, Georgetown was
always given a grand reception On the
occasion that the local crew finished sec
ond, outrowing four other competitors,
the Washington shell was the cynosure
of all eyes on the long observation train.
and when the Blue and Gray colors were
run up into second place the cheers were
as great as those that welcomed the VIC
torious Cornell crew
Under the conditions II seemed a shame
that Georgetown was forced to withdraw.
but the athletic authorities guided by
conservative judgment. undoubtedly acted
wisely when they decided that rowing
was too much OF drain for an institution
Of Georgetown's sizo
While victory did not crown the efforts
Of the Blue and Gray in eight years on

come handicaps and the stirring struggles
the crew always made in the real test
won thousands Of friends for the uni

by all those who have followed the Pougn-
