Ketchel on the other hand, is not
clever; he has a lot to learn about
ring tactics; he is slugger of the
type that offers his anatomy to his
opponent in the endeavOr to land a
telling blow, With fighters of his
own type this may be most effective,
because he can absorb a lot of pun
ishment, but against man like John
son it is apt to be suicidal. Johnson
will take no chance of being hit him
self to land a punch He is able to
land a punch without taking any such
chance.
And then above everything else, Is
the big difference in weight between
the two men.
1t will not be surprising if John
son allows Ketchel to wear himself
out in efforts to land a knockout early
in the fight. This is his style of fight
ing; he let's his opponent come to him
and wear himself down, and then, at
the end, the Negro steps in and fin
ishes a man who has almost exhaust
ed himself by his fierce efforts to
force the battle.
If Ketchel were more clever man
he might be able to keep away from
Johnson but the chances are that he
can fight only one way-rip in all the
time. This is just what Johnson
wants.
In spite of all this it is not difficult
to see why Ketchel should be willing
to make the match. According to all
reports about him recently he would
have a hard time to ever make the
middleweight limit again. Then
battle with Johnson probably means
lot of money, although l doubt If it
will draw the crowd that it's promo
ter believed it would. 1t is likely
that Johnson will enter the ring an
overwhelming favorite. 1t is hard to
see how he could be anything else
under the circumstances.
Any good man is likely to make a
great showing against champion in
short fight, and yet be wholly inca
pable of winning in long battle,
such as decides championships and
brings out the calibre of real cham
pionships.
Almost any time now the famous
Jeffries- Johnson controversy should
,become the main topic of converse
ton among fight fans once more
The former champion will have to
come out in the open this autumn II
he is going to retain his hold on pop
ularity. Since he left for Europe
Johnson has made great strides in
gaining public favor. His claims
that he can whip Jeffries are receiv
ing far more serious consideration
than they ever did before, and the
/, Californian must do something be
, sides say he can defeat Johnson to
make every one believe that he really
can do the trick.
AS matters stand 1t is hard to SEE
lew there is chance of Jeffries anC
: Johnson getting together this yea
and if they ever do meet 1t is no
likely that the fight can be ever
, scheduled before some time late II

KetcheII Stands a Poor Chance t
Win.

We are now ready to figure on STAN
ley Ketchels chances when he goes
into the ring with Champion Jack
Johnson next month They do not look
particularly good to me; in fact, l
cannot figure out on paper what right
he has to think he can win from the
big Negro, supposing he really does
think so.
That Ketchel believes he has a
great chance-or at least did believe
so before he was ready to face Lang
ford-there is little or no question.
Ketchel has a mighty high opinion
of his own powess, and justly so when
he is fighting a man in his class, but
he is fighting a man out of his class
when he goes against Johnson.
In weight Johnson has an enormous
advantage least twenty-five
pounds. An advantage in weight is
the biggest advantage a fighter can
have 1t will net of course, make up
for deficiency in fighting ability, but
if the fighting ability of two men is
about equal the man who weighs the
more has a big advantage over his OPP
ponent.
The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1909-10-01

1t seems almost puerile to harp
upon the difference in weight between
Ketchel and Johnson, but many of the
formers friends do not seem to take
this advantage into consideration at
all despite the fact that it is weight,
and weight alone, which has divided
pugilists into classes.
There is no question of Johnson's
great cleverness. In this respect he
has another enormous advantage over
Ketchel. The latter is tough, hard
FIGHTER, but it viii be surprise to
me if he is able to lay glove on
Johnson early in tie battle, when he
viii be strong enough to have the
steam behind it,
kaufman is a mighty hard hitter,
but his punch did him no good against
Johnson because he could not land it.
I do not think Ketchel has any better
chance of landing than Kaufman.
In every way that ! can think Of
except in courage and ability to slug
Johnson has it on Ketchel How, un
der these circumstances, therefore
can one figure that Ketchel should de
feat the Negro? The latter knows
every trick of the ring; he is
hard hitter and wonderfully clever
he is cool headed and not disposed t.
take any wild chance.
