DOUBLES PLAY TODAY

LONG BEACH, July 4,-Tomorrow
afternoon at the Hotel Virginia tennis
court, Bundy and Bell champions of
the south, will play against James and
Mclaughlin, holders of the coast cham
pionships in the finals Of the doubles
match. The games probably will start
at 2:30 p. m. and the grandstands will
be filled with tennis enthusiasts from
all over Southern California and many
visitors from the north. Earlier in the
day the finals in mems consultations
doubles will be played off: The players
who will participate in the finals are
in good shape for the matches. Bundy
has been suffering from a severe cold,
but this does not seem to interfere with
his tennis abilities.
Despite the magnificent serves and
lightning work of the northerners there
are a number who think the southern
pair may be able to pull a sufficient
number of games out of the match to
win.

, suspense over the outcome of the bat
tie. The middleweight crown is in dis
pute and to the victor will go the
! spoils.
Both Men Are Ready
SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-Contrary
to the custom of fighters in training,
Stanley Ketchel, who meets Billy
Papke for the fourth time tomorrow
| in a twenty round contest, spent the
last day of his training In boxing. His
sparring partners received good
many hard knocks during the day and
the big crowd of interested onlookers
at the training camp had their appetite
whetted for the real struggle tomor-
row. Ketchel looks in fine shape and
is slightly under weight.
At Papke's camp all hands enjoyed
a much needed rest. What little work
the boxer did was only to keep his
muscles timber, as he is within the
limit and is not disposed to take
chances with his hands.
Papke spent his time chatting with
his many visitors and expressed su-
Dreme confidence in his ability to de-
feat Ketchel tomorrow.
There was considerable betting &C
tivity during the day, Ketchel ruling a
q to l favorite, although Papke's sup
porters showed a tendency to snap up
offers at first sight. Ringside betting
is apt to give Ketchel even a longer
price.
Boxing enthusiasts here eagerly
await the fight tomorrow between
Papke and Ketchel
Ketchel is something of a local idol
His willingness to battle with John
son, the negro, for the heavyweight
championship Notwithstanding the
disparity of weight, and the growing
belief that his fearful punching power
may put Johnson on the run. have
drawn additional attention to the
fight with Papke.
The ring records Of the two fighters
show that either has a good chance.
The first time this pair met was in a
ten-round bout, and Ketchel carried off
the decision. Last September they
met for another cyclOnic encounter,
and Papke bowled over the Michigan
fighter in twelve rounds. This mill
took place in Vernon, Cal. and Ketchel
declared that he was not in condition.
The loss of the fight caused Ketchel
to become careless and he ran up to
1877 pounds.
It seemed as If Ketchel had about
decided to give up the prize ring, when
he was induced TO meet Papke again.
He went to work like a beaver and sur
prised the sporting public by taking
off over 30 pounds in a few weeks. He
was lightning fast when he charged
across the ring at the bell in the third
encounter with Papke last November
In San Francisco. For eleven rounds
Ketchel gave Papke a terrible beat
ing, and then knocked him out.
Papke's recent hurricane victory
over Hugo Kelly of Chicago with one
blow shows that he has all his old
! time quickness and punching power.

REVOLVER MEN HOLD
HANDICAP CONTEST
Regular Monthly Handicap Medal
Shoot is Held at Bishop Street
Range-Another Telegraph
Pistol Match Arranged

The regular monthly medal shoot for
the Pistol and Hoegee Handicap med
ais was held yesterday by members of
the Los Angeles Revolver club on the
Bishop street range.
1t seemed to be an off day with the
revolver shooters, as the scores We're
not up to the average.
When the marksmen wended their
way out to the range they evidently
had it In mind that 1t was the day to
celebrate by making as much noise as
possible, instead of trying to make
high scores. At least 1t looked this
way from the appearance of the tar
gets and score sheets when the shoot
ers finished their scores.
In the revolver contest most of the
marksmen who usually make good
average were exceptionally low in one
score out of the three.
VIII A. Wright and Oscar Lillemo
seemed to be the only shooters VINO
were in their accustomed good form.
Will Wright was awarded the Handi-
cap revolver medal, his score being
264 out of a possible 300, and, having
points handicap, his score was 2i3.
DR., l., M. PACKARD also Ildu IL lOl"l "a
273, but as Wright had the least num-
Der of handicap points he was declared
the winner.
In the pistol contest A. b. Douglas
carried away the trophy with score
of 275 out of a possible 3O0, an average
of 81 2-3. Saturday afternoon young
Douglas was overindulging in a game
of tennis, and as a result he had a
very sore right arm. but this did not
seem to stop him from turning out
good scores.
Next Sunday the club will hold an
other telegraph contest with the
Smith & Wesson Pistol and Revolver
club of Springfield, Mass. This match
will be strictly a pistol contest, no re-
volvers being allowed. Each team Will
be composed of six shooters, who viii
fire fifty Shots 10 shots on target
at so yards, each marksman finishing
his score within one hour after firing
the first shot. The contest will be un-
der the rules of the United States Re-
volver association governing match b.

Northerners ketchel-Mad
San Francisco is Ketchel mad. In
the highways and byways of the Bay
city there is nothing talked of but the
wonderful improvement and fighting
power of the middleweight champion.
There is no possibility of getting a
northerner to figure that Papke will
last the route with the champion, and
the betting probably will be even at
ringside that Ketchel wins in ten
rounds. Thus have the northerners,
the men who have made the title hold
er the greatest fight idol of the age,
lined up for the bout. In the south,
and particularly in Los Angeles, the
Kewanee Thunderbolt is rated pos
sible winner. In fact there have been
numerous commissions placed that
Papke would win the fight, though the
supporters of Papke are demanding 10
to A for their money 1t is significant
that they are getting it; it is significant
also from the standpoint of the super
stitious fan that short-end winners
have been the rule rather than the ex-
ception in San Francisco. The north
ern city is Ketchels center of popula-
tion, for it is there, if anywhere, that
he will receive everything that is COM
ing to him. However, although Papke
rules a stiff short-ender against the
champion, he bears the situation coolly
and with calmness, always prophesy-
ing victory and holding in contempt
the general view that he has no chance
with the terrible shifting demon Of the
twentieth century game.
Figures Seem False
To those who have weighed the sit
uation carefully, and who possess a
thorough knowledge of the conditions
and events leading up to this battle,
the figures at which the wagering is
placed seem entirely false While
Ketchel, through his startling defeat
of Jack O'Brien and the widespread
belief in his Improvement, naturally
figures to be the favorite, the prices
listed are regarded as highly charac-
teristic of the tendency of the mitt
fans to swing to extremes Two to one,
considering the Knockout each has
over the other, Papke's splendid con-
dition and the historical phases of the
battle, appears a good price for the
Papke men, and it is noted in San
Francisco, according to word received
here, that the short end supporters are
eager to risk their money on the con-
test at these odds.
Ketchel and his camp followers, as
well as the rank and file of the coin
layers, big and little, are easily con-
fident in their prediction of victory.
Papke and his brother Ed, are grimly
quiet, and say little beyond their su-
preme belief that new champion viii
wear the crown when the sun sets be-
hind the San Mateo hills and the lights
pop out on Fillmore.
The concourse of fans in the north
awaits the moment when the two
fighters enter the ring. For two hours
this afternoon the entire fight world
will literally hold its breath in anxious
