BOSTON BOY IN TWENTIETH.
SEE THE FIGHT
Turning Point Comes In Ninth Round.
Series Of Body Blows Does Work.
Montana Boy Was q Favorlte In the
Betting on the Fight.

San Francisco, May 9.-Stanley Ket-
chell Of Montana knocked out Jack
(Twin) Sullivan Of Boston In the
twentieth round at Colma today. The
battle was scheduled to go IS rounds,
but continued until the twentieth only,
and was one Of the bloodiest ring con.
tests seer here in recent years. Al
though fairly knocked out by a series
OF body blows sullivan claimed he
had been struck low by Ketcheli, q
claim which the referee refused to
allow. r.
The fight up to the ninth round was
even. The turning point came at
this point, when Ketchell, finally SOW
ing the Boston mans clever defense,
succeeded in landing q number 81
blows on S%ullivan's stomach. For
two rounds Ketchell battered Sullivan
about the ring. severely Furnishing him
about the body and face. Sullivan raj
lied to some extent in the eleventh
round, but again weakened before the
determined assaults Of Ketchell, and
IN the thirteenth and fifteenth rounds
was knocked down and took the count
Of nine.
Pace Was Terrific.
From this point up until the eigh.
teenth round the men slowed up the
terrific pace which they had held,
and there was little execution until
the twentieth. When they came up
for this round, which proved to be
the last, Sullivan was weak and
showed the effects Of the gruelling
punishment he had endured.
After a few moments or ineffective
sparring Ketchell sent Sullivan to the
floor with a terrific left hand blow to
the stomach. Sullivan ros at the
count of nine, weak but game, only
to be sent down again by a success
sion Of well placed smashes about the
body. He failed to come up and was
declared knocked out by the referee
When he had been taken to MS cor
ner and regained consciousness he de
clard he had been struck below the
belt and claimed a foul, which the
referee refused to entertain and paid
no attention to Sullivan's protest.
The betting favored Ketchell, the
prevailing odds being 10 to z. The at
tendance was the largest seen at Col
ma since the Burns-squires contest
among the spectators being about q
thousand sailors from the feet.
