Papke was the winner. But Kelly had

in the sixth round that he hammered
Papke all over the ring and got IN
some steamy wallops to Billy's eyes.
which caused these organs to become

no let-up and the swift pace continued

JUST HARKEN To
JOHNNY EvERS!

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-In a letter re-
ceived by a Chicago friend today
Johnny Evers. the second baseman of
the Cubs. declared positively that he
would not play with the worlds cham
pions next season and that he would
not care II he never saw another base
ball. To prove he Is going to quit.
Evers says It is his intention TO ask
Charles w. Murphy for such a mighty
stipend that the president of the
worlds champions will not ask him TO
return.
Evers' reason for giving up the game
is that he has business prospects
which will require his attention and
pay him better than staying In base
ball
President Murphy declined to make
a statement on the matter. following
his rule not to answer statements
made in other peoples letters.
