 Stanley ketchel is to have arojHe bout with Joe Thomas. He is sCaed uled to box his former opporfent a San Francisco August IS. and the g' will be held under the auspices O Jack GIeason's club and ill the bal park of the city It is said that nov ing pictures may be taken of the af fair.
 Ketchel has loomed up so promi nently since his defeat of Hugo Kelly that it seems likely almost any bon in which he figures should draw 8 considerable amount of gate money At the same time many think that Billy Papke will draw 9 far hettsl house as an antagonist than Thomas whom ketchel has already defeated twice.
 As has been stated before Ketchel probably made his last fight in the middIe-weiglt ranks when he faced Kelly. He ws.s within the 15S pound limit, but by narrow margin. He could dc himself more credit al r higher weight, and II0 pounds would seem Q bette= total for him at whicf to box.
 He is endeavoring to get on g match with Tommy Burns. In case he can clean up Thomas and can repeat the trick over Papke at! Los Angeles he will stand out clearly as the man best entitled to face Tommy in the ring. This is one bout that would jus tify the offering of a really big purse -one of those S35, 900 affairs that we hear of often enough, but which seem to have fallen through since the Cans Nelson affair at Goldfield.
 Burns is in Australia just at pres ent, but it is said that he may be dis appointed over the size of the purses to be gained there. Certainly there is no man in that part of the world whose performance would justify any promoters in offering huge sum for services against Burns. So it may be that the man who is admittedly the champion of his class today may be willing to come back and fight where the real money is 10 be had.
 Rudolph Unholz, in spite of cheer ing remarks about tie fashion in which he was able to take punish ment, has not showed up i'll the light. weight class as well as he was ex- pected. It was easy to make excuses for him wnen Harlem Tommy MuT- phy OutpOinted him ten days ago, on account of Murphy's superior speed. But when Dick Hyland, a boxer wno is willing to mix with a man, was also able to pIt it over on Rudolph, It commences to appear as if he needs to train Q bit or to wake up in some fashion or other.
 HyIand is credited with having put it all over the BoeT in siXround bout. HyIand had bad luck for many months in the ring, and it would be hard to sTUdge him victory. He had match after match called of at short notice, and was cruising around in this part of the country, seeking whom he might meet, without any person being able to find a good man to send against him.
 He evidently had saved up a lot of energy for such men as Unholz, for he cut loose and managed to make 2 really fast and creditable showing. He did not hurt Rudolph much. Few men can do that even if they pound him until he gets groggy. For the Boer is always there, ready to smll1 and come up for another round. Joe Cans had him so dazed he was swing ing at the spectators over the ropes when the referee stopped their bout But he was talkatiye and inclined to scrap again inside of thirty seconds after he had been taken to his corner
 Unholz will simply have 10 develop speed if he is to be rated as factor in his division. In long bout his endurance and his readiness to coun ter and to take a punch and give one counts in his favor. But if he IS in 2 short sprint, where one man can prance up and poke him in the face and then get away, he is at decided disadvantage.
 Sam I.angford is attracting good deal of attention in the east just ai present. His steady string of VIC tories aas aroused considerable com ment. but there are quite number oi Chicago men who have seen him in action who say tltak Langford is no' as light as he claims to be.
 Hughev Gstens Is one of these. Upon ,,is return from the east he said that Iaugford. although claiming to be De low the middie-weight mark, is really in the light heavyweight class. Gatens says that he has avoided Weigh- ing in at several recent bouts pc cause he was supposed to be so much lighter than his opponents.
 Langford is undoubtedly a tougn man and one of the hardest aitters at his weight today. The fashion in which he has handled Jimmy Barry who is unquestionsbly the heaFifss man. if only by a few pound z e fo prove this. I.aBgford has 'ha. fyscl that Joe Wascoft was so fond or
