mons, Lang and Squires-I am going
to England to light Tommy Burns there.
II think that Johnson will win from
Jeffries. He is a great fighter and 1
would rather have my money on a fair
live one than on a great dead one.
Johnson is a careful. defensive fighter,
and a fighter who never has been fully
extended. My only chance with him
was in landing one good solid wallop,
but I couldn't hit him right
Ketchel spent the night in Chicago
and left this morning at 9 o'clock for
Grand Rapids. He will spend three or
four weeks there and then go back
to the coast and get ready for the
Antipodes. He appeared to be in fair
condition and had discarded part of
the Wild West costume that he affect
ed when he went west for his go with
Johnson. He looked anything but the
part of a fighter as he strolled about
the lobby of the Annex exchanging
greetings with his friends. He carries
no scars of his battles and looks more
like college chap today than boxer
who has earned the title of the Mich
igan Assassin"
Ketchel laughed about the stories
that had been circulated about his be-
ing a heavyweight and tipped off a few
secrets about his fight with Johnson.
Il guess that I fooled lot of peo-
pie before that fight he said. You
see, had to make the people think that
I was real heavyweight in order that
1 would be conceded a chance with the
colored fellow and draw crowd So
every time that any one suggested that
1 get on the scales, would drink few
gallons of water and ginger ale and eat
a lot of ice cream. This would put
weight on in great chunks. Actually
when I went into the ring with John
/ son 1 weighed just 159 pounds and not
10 as was published

WABASH RIOTERS
GET TOO JOYOUS
Trustees Threaten to Put
Ban on Football.

Charlottesville, Ind. Dec. 24.-Trus-
tees of Wabash college at their regu-
lar midwinter meeting yesterday
threatened to put intercollegiate foot
ball games under the ban if the stu
dents of the college destroy any more
property in the celebration of athletic
victories. The action on the part of
the trustees arises from the fact that
early in November, when holding big
bonfire on the campus in order to
arouse enthusiasm for the wabash
Purdue football game. the students
burned property valued at 500. The
scholars have since paid for the prop
ertd and several of them were ques-
toned by the police authorities, al
though no arrests were made.

KETCHELL
PICKS The
BLACK MAN

Stanley Ketchel came out of his re-
tirement yesterday and announced to
the world that he was not through with
the fight game and that he still is a
middleweight ready to defend his claim
to the championship of the worll at
either 154 or 15S pounds.
The Michigan mauler reached Chica-
go last nigh ton the Overland Limited
on his way to his home in Grand Rap
ids, where he will spend the holidays
with his parents. He lost no time
in declaring his intentions for the flu
ture and giving an opinion on the
Johnson-J effries fight. Here are a few
things that the great slugger from
Grand Rapids said:
Il am going to, Australia soon after
the first of the year to fight any three
men Hugh Mcintosh picks as my OPP
ponents. l have been offered $4,000
for the three fights and think that I
can make more than that by fighting
on a percentage proposition.
"All this talk about my having out
grown the middelweight limit is rot.
I weigh just 10 pounds with my
clothes on now and that means that /
could scale in at $50 pounds stripped.
Does that sound as if I am a heavy
cessary and will do 1t if any fighter
who can command a purse wants bout
at that figure. 1 will fight Papke at
any time at 15S pounds ringside.

MILWAUKEE BOUTS
SAID TO BE SAFE

Milwaukee, Wis. Dec. 2s.-The fight
game has been resumed in Milwaukee
for good long stay. it now appears.
The attorney general in conference
with the governor. and sheriff told the
local promoters that there was a flaw
in the law under which the fights like
that Of last night could not be pre-
vented. The city and county authori-
ties are admittedly in favor of limited
round, no decision battles, and so far
there have ben no arrests. The dis
trict attorney would welcome a chance
to test the law. as would the promot-
ers, but the church people who have
objected have not filed any warrants.
The authorities are certain they could
not convict, so it will take a warrant
from the church people to force test.

SPORTING NOTES
TEAM WORK WINS GAME
FOR HAMMOND ATHLETIC A.

There was a large attendance at the
game between the Hammond Athletic
association and the high school teams
last evening. The first half was de-
cidedly in favor of the H. A. A. team,
while In the second half the high school
team outplayed their opponents. The
score at the close of the first half was
80 to 10 and at the close Of the second
half SO to % in favor of the athletic
association The team work of the
high school was superior to to the H.
A. A.
Hoffman at right forward played a
great game, securing Thirteen field goals
and one foul, making twenty-seven of
the 3S points scored by his team Hunt
er played an excellent game during
the first half when he was replaced
by Gauthier. Parsons at right guard
played a very fine game.
Thompson played the star game for
the H H S. bunch. He made all but

eight of the % points scored by his
team. Mott at guard played a great
game, holding down Huffman to two
field goals during the second half
The slippery floor was a serious
handicap to the high school players,
who are not used to a slippery floor.
Professor MdElroy. however, turned
the trick by taking out his team near
the close of the first half and winding
tape around their shoes.
This unquestionably gave the H. H.
S. the upper hand. They made II
points to the H. A. AS points in the
second half The sentiment of the club
however. about the condition of the
floor will probably result in changing
this condition.

in bidding for the match. He tele-
graphed Nelson Immediately.
Nelson said that he would insist on
$4,000 side bet from the Milwaukee
fighter and declared that announce
ment of his acceptance of the battle

CAPT. MILLER
PLACED IN
BAD LIGHT

Ann Arbor. Mich, Dec. 24.-Never
have the undergraduates and alumni of
the University of Michigan been stirred
as yesterday, when 1t was officially an
nounced that the election of Joy Mill
er of Detroit as captain of the Uni
versity of Michigan football team had
been repudiated, that Miller's M had
been recalled, and letters of apology
sent to the five universities against
whom Miller played. because it was
discovered that he had not been en-
rolled in any classes.
In declaring Miller Ineligible, Michi-
gan. in a letter addressed to the au-
thorities at Notre Dame. Minnesota,
Pennsylvania, Marquette and Wiscon-
sin, virtually renowned all claims to
credit for the victories gained over
or the scares made against these teams,
and at the same time passes up all
consideration for the championship of
the west by virtue of the teams SPLEEN
did record for the past season.
May Affect Athletics Future.
Serious as are the results pointed
out, they may prove of secondary i'm
portance when compared with the eff
feet the scrape may have on the fu-
ture of Michigans athletics
1t still is too early to predict that the
scandal which has within the past TWEEN
| ty-four hours turned the campus upside
down, will kill intercollegiate ath-
letics at Michigan, but the athletics
or rather football. occupying the
rather uncertain position it now does

the disgrace is more significant thar

Battling Nelson, lightweight cham
pion of the w orld, and AID Wolgast
practically were matched last night to
bottle forty-five rounds before Tom
McCarey's club in Los Angeles, Cal.
The fighting Dane was offered $4,000
for his share of the purse, win, lose or
draw, but instead of closing the match
last night, tNelson wired H. M. Walker
of Los Angeles, through whom the
match was brought out, to have Nc
Carey communicate with him immedi-
ately.
Nelson declared that he desired trans
acting business with McCarey, not
through an agent. and therefore the
match probably will not be settled
until Nelson hears from the Los An
geles promoter.
