HEAVIES
Michigan Lion Tears Into His
Sparring Partners With
out Any Mercy

Stanley Ketchel was the center of
attraction for the fight fans at his
Colma training quarters yesterday aft
ernoon, and he did work enough to
electrify the big crowd that watched
him perform Each of his three spar
ring partners took the count before he
was done with them, and at the con-
clusion of the work Ketchel seemed
only fairly well warmed up.
After workout in his gymnas sium he
went to the open air ring to do his box
ing stunts. First he fiattened Lew
Taylor, big heavy weight, in two
rounds and then tenderly packed him
away to his dressing room. Next came
Charley Goff, soldier, who met a SINH
lar fate in two rounds, and Charley
Miller finally got his in the third round,
which was extended to seven minutes.
Ketchel does not train like the ordi-
nary pug, who seldom fiattens his man.
He likes to wade right in and show his
training mates up at every opportunity.
He plays to the spectacular side of it,
and in this way wins the crowd. He
walloped those poor fellows yesterday
just as though he 'were fighting them
for the championship of the world.
Ketchel works faster than ever, and
he always was q sensational performer
while training for fight. He used his
double shift and both hands with equal
effect and whenever he landed, his
opponent was either shaken up or else
took the count. He will box every
afternoon at 3 o'clock. and he invites
all aspiring heavy weights to put on
the gloves with him.
Billy Papke did not create such a
sensation when he toed the scratch for
work in the big ocean beach pavilion,
but still he pulled off enough good stuff
to satisfy 1,200 persons, who saw him
perform Papke's principal work con-
sisted of four rounds with Ollie Cornett.
The latter waded in and Papke gave
him plenty to do. In the fourth Cor
nett tired and time was called before 1t
had been completed, as Cornett was
all in.
Papke weighed 164 pounds after his
days work, and he looked good. He is
making arrangements to train with the
life saving crew at the beach. He IS
somewhat of an oarsman himself, and
he believes that a little of this work
will be very beneficial for him before
he goes against Ketchel
There have been many sore eastern
pugilists of this city since the game OF
fisticuffs became popular, but Leach
Cross and his brother, Sam Wallach,
presented the prize winning sight.
Their bit for that Al rounds of cruel
ling mill was a little more than $500,
not enough to pay their cafare back
east The ybet more than this amount
on the fight
The brothers will beat it back to the
Ghetto of Gotham this evening. They
have had their fill of San Francisco. The
game does not look good to them
any more. They had visions of a $4,000
house, but when they were paid off on
an $500 basis, they tossed their hands
skyward and groaned. Leach is still In
bad shap from the severe beating ad-
ministered to him by Dick Hyland.
Hyland suffered little from the en-
counter save a badly cut lip. few
stitches were taken in this, and he will
be as fit as ever in a few days. Man
ager Jack Perkins is undecided as to his
future plans. He has several eastern
offers. and he may take one of these.
Like Cross and his brother, Perkins and
HyIand are very much disappointed at
the small house which turned out to see
them maui each other Al rounds.
