KETCHEL GETS
RETURN MATCH
JACK GLEASON LANDS SCRAP
FOR FRISCO
FIGHTERS ARE SIGNED UP FOR
THANKSGIVING EVE
Does Not Interfere with Papke-keIly
Scrap That Is to Be Staged at
Vernon Next Month-Local
Club to Give Belt

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.-Promot-
er Jack Gleason has stolen march on
his competitors and tonight secured
signatures of managers of Papke and
Ketchel for a 20-round fight in San
Francisco on Thanksgiving eve. Tom
Jones, who manages Papke, and Joe
O'Connor, Ketchels manager, signed a
provisional agreement for their men
tonight, and details will probably be
arranged before morning. This will In
sure a great fight, as O'Connor says
Ketchel can be put in shape with two
months rest.
Baron Long nearly had a fit last
night when told that Papke and Ketch-
ell had been signed UP for a return
battle to be fought in San Francisco
but when informed that the scrap was
to be staged Thanksgiving eve he was
more than pleased.
'It is all right, then, and does not
mean that Papke and Jones are going
to run out on u.s. he said. Jack
Gleason Is a fine fellow and am glad
he has landed so good a match. In
getting Papke and Ketchel signed up
for a coast engagement six weeks or
more later than Papke and Kelly s
date in Los Angeles the Kewanee kid
undoubtedly will be more satisfied TO
stay on the coast. He can pick up
swell bunch of money out here during
the fall and winter, and these two
matches will mean quite wad for
him.
kelly wired me few days ago that
he had started training for his fight
with Papke, and will leave Chicago In
time to get at least two weeks training
here. Kelly is confident he can defeat
Papke, while the latter never had a
doubt of his ability to trip the italian.
Papke will meet Jeffries and party of
friends in the Tehachapi country Sat
urday and go on hunt of week or
ten days. then come to Los Angeles and
get down to training for his fight with
Kelly.
"I have placed an order for belt,
emblematic of the middleweight cham
pionship of the world, that will be
handsomer and more expensive than
the belt which Ketchell owns, and will
present 1t to the winner Of the Papke-
Kelly fight. I have no fears that
Papke and Jones will run out on our
club, as they always have been dis
posed to act fairly in all matters and
have accepted the match with Kelly.
I have turned down several good
matches for this one, too."

FIGHTERS GET
DOWN TO WORK
BOYS ON TUESDAY PROGRAM
HARD AT 1T
WELSH DOES NOT UNDEREsTl-
MATE FRANK cARsEY
Wants to Wipe Out the Two Defeats
Which the Chicago Boy Claims
Over Him-PreIlm Fighters
Training Faithfully

No card which the Pacific Athletic
club has arranged in long time has
excited more interest than that which
is scheduled for next Tuesday evening
at McCarey's pavilion. Freddie wv elsh
always is a craving power, and the
clever manner in which he has dis
posed of all Of his opponents. with the
exception of Packy Mcfarland, has
made him an especial faYor1te with
Southern California fans. The under
taking which he has before him in tax
ing on clever Frank Carsey probably
is as tough a job as any that has Deen
mapped out for him since his arrival in
Los Angeles. Carsey showed when ne
met Welsh twice before that he was
able to get to him, and the Chicago
boy thinks he has chance to lower
the champions colors. He has shown
his JOY at being placed on the program,
instead of Phil Brock, in every move
he has made since the match was con-
summated.
Carsey is working as he never has
worked before, and he is using the
South Side Athletic club gym for his
training camp. He went on the road
Thursday morning, and boxed five
rounds in the afternoon, despite the
heat. Welsh did his regular road run
at Venice and entertained a large
crowd in the amphitheater In the after
and boxing with Jack Redmond.
The ten-round contest between Char
lie Lucca and Jack Redmond is excit-
ing more interest than Is usual for q
preliminary, for the fans realize that
the boys are of high caliber and will
put up a good fight, as each is anxious
to get main event. Lucca is training
at Ascot. while Redmond is getting the
benefit of the work with Freddie
Welsh.
Anslinger and Stone are working
hard for their six-round bout, and
those who saw the newcomer in his
contest with Fairbanks believe that he
will give Anslinger all he can do to
win. Stone Is slugger pure and sim
pie, and he will carry the fight to
Anslinger from the tap of the bell.
Walter Fisher is SO we'll thought of
in San Bernardino, where he has had
most of his fights, that large delega-
ton will come to Los Angeles to wit
ness his fight with Kid Murray. Muir
ray has shown considerable class in
his bouts SO far, so Fisher will have to
look to his laurels when the two meet
in the curtain raiser.
