KETCHEL SHOWS GOOD
CONDITION FOR BOUT
Middlewelght Champion Is Working
Hard for Ten-Round Fight with
Langford Friday Night-sam
Trains at Boston

NEW YORK, Sept. 13-Stanley
Ketchel now weighs 176 pounds and
saws that he will not be under 17S
when he enters the ring for ten
round bout with Sam Langford at the
Fairmont Athletic club in this city
next Friday night. Ketchel is working
like a beaver and is apparently in as
good condition as ever he was After
reeling off eight miles in dog trot
on the Westchester county roads the
Montana cowboy returned to his quar-
ters. stripped and took on four train
ing partners for four rounds each in
succession. Each bout was fast and
hard one, and at the conclusion Ketchel
did not seem to be in the least winded.
Instead of showing any distress, he
punched the bag for fifteen minutes at
a lightning pace.
Reports from Boston indicate that
I.angford is preparing himself for
what he considers the most serious
battle of his career. It is not be-
lieved that he will weigh more than
100 pounds, possibly 1853 A large
delegation of his supporters plan to
accompany him to New York, but
there Is little likelihood Of these wit
Messing the fight, as only record mem
bers of the club will be admitted, and
these members have already engaged
all the seats.

PUBLIC COURTS MAY
Be OF OIL MACADAM
Nine Tennis Courts Will Be Built in
Angel City Before January
First-Morley In Charge
of Construction

Much qualification has been expressed
in Los Angeles tennis circles over the
number of tennis courts which will be
installed by the board of park commits
sioners before the first of the year.
Nine courts will be built-two at
Sycamore grove, two at South park
two at Eastlake park, two at Westlake
park and one at Sunset park. The
courts will be free to anyone who de-
sires to use them. The nets will be
furnished and the courts kept in repair
by the city Los Angeles is but follow
ing the lead of other large cities OF the
United States in this matter, and there
is no doubt but what the courts will
prove of immense advantage to the city
as an advertising medium.
Constant inquiries are being received
by the local sporting goods houses from
tourists as to the location of the private
courts.
Superintendent ]. G.. Morley is now
considering the question of construct
ing the courts of oil macadam. This
material will be used in at least several
of the courts and is believed by many
to be superior to either asphalt, gravel,
clay or concrete. The oil macadam sur
face gives a much springer resistance
than does the asphalt and wears well
Experiments recently made in San
Francisco with the macadam indicate
that the majority of tennis courts will
in future be constructed from this ma
terial.
Gravel courts are considered as be-
ing unsatisfactory and too difficult to
keep in shape, while the binding glare
from the concrete prohibits the use OF
this material. Although asphalt will
be used in several of the courts, when
additional grounds are put in order, as
will doubtless be the case during 1910
It is likely that oil macadam will be
used in the construction thereof.

Stop Boxing in Arkansas

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. 1S.-Fol-
lowing the personal complaint of the
wife of Governor Donaghey, there will
be no more so-called boxing matches
in Arkansas, If the sheriffs Of the
various counties obey the order of the
governor to carry out the law against
glove contests.
Mrs. Donaghey, an ardent baseball
enthusiast, lover of football and other
outdoor sportss called the attention OF
her husband to the revival of pugilism
in Helena, and registered a complaint,
stating that prize fighting" is not only
brutal, but that 1t is the only form
of sport she really objects to.
Governor Donaghey has notified the
Helena authorities that the law is
plain; that in his opinion all forms OF
boxing matches are prize fights" and
as such are forbidden by the law.
