Kirkwood sought her eyes and found

that Calendar had not taken her into

therefore in no way implicated in her

young mans heart felt lighter. "A

Of Stan. Ketchell

Stories that Stanley Ketchel has
deserted the midhleweight division
and hereafter will fight only light
heavyweights has started the regular
l5sepounders with the buzzing of the
championship bee in their bonnets
Chief among these is William Papke
of Kewanee, H., who already has
fought Ketchel four times. winning
once and losing three times. Papke
passed through Chicago few days
ago and was asked to make state
ment of the situation for the public
as he sees It. This is what he die
tated.
When asked for an expression OF
opinion on the middleweight situa-
ton and what | thought the weight
should be and at what figure II has
been and how | figured that Stanley
Ketchel won II and lost 1t and VINO
has II now, ! am at loss to answer
the questions in few words. There
fore II | may be permitted a little
space / will outline my opinions as
briefly as possible.
First of all let me say that. while
| regarded Stanley Ketchel as n
great fighter--one of the very
greatest. In fact must say that
his claim to the middleweight title
never was particularly well placed
since. in the last few months and in
fact since | came into the field, he
has failed utterly to make the weight
limit.
This weight limit ! place at 1873
pounds at the ringside II you are to
tight for the championship.
And why not? | have been advis-
ed to make 1t lower, that the real
limit should be 154 pounds and all
that, citing Jack Dempsey's figures.
etc. But like most of the other
weights. the limit has been raised
In recent years until 1t looks as II
SIS pounds would be made the
standard figures.
But | think II a man claims to be

that figure.
| by fighting at that figure / mean
he should enter the ring weighing
no more than that and not base his
claims on weight made several
hours before fighting time, during
which hours he may have had a
chance to take on seven or eight
pounds.
Let me go back over my battles
with Stanley Ketchel and tell the
hubllc exactly the truth about the
weights That We made.

changed his mind, and driving his
spikes into the ground came to a
stop. He fell with groan, both

Jack Bliss. the catcher of the ALI
National team. which has been play
ing in this state for the past five
weeks, and who unfortunately suf-
fered broken leg in the game at
Stockton yesterday. is well known
TO baseball fans around the Bay.
Bliss FIRST came into prominence
as catcher of the University of Cali
iornia team in the days when h"
and Heine Heitmuller formed the
battery for the State University.
Wien his college days were over
Bliss signed up as catcher of the Oak
land team of the Pacific Coast Lea
que. While he was with his team,
he spent the spring months as coach
of the University of California nine.
His work with the Oakland team
attracted the attention of the big
league scouts, and Jack was signed
up to go to st. Louis in the spring
of 1908. Although he has not been
used much by the big league team
on account of the fact that Roger
Bresnahan does most of the catching
for the Cardinals, Bliss has proved
himself worthy substitute for the
former Giant and In the games In
which he has been engaged has
shown remarkable ability for a
young catcher.
! When Manager Bancroft was Sc
lecting his Ali-National team to make
tour of the coast, Bliss. being Il
/ Californian, was one Of the first men
chosen on the team. and in every
game that he has participated In
since his arrival in California, the
youngster has made good, and the
local fans have been quick to notice
the improvement in his work since
he Joined the big league company.
The telegraph reports indicate
thta the fracture of the popular
catcher's leg is a bad one, but all
baseball followers are hoping that II
is not of a nature serious enough to
put an end to the promising career
of Jack Bliss, the catcher.

Mahoney and J. Henry Bennett, the
present district attorney, are emf
nenuy qualified for the position. Not
withstanding this, I believe that | am
entitled to the Office, by reason of the
fact that unlike the opposing candidates
mentioned, have never been favored
by the electors of Vernon county, by
election to any office
On the other hand. believe that the
candidates above mentioned, should not
be elected, for reasons well advanced by
/ their own supporters For instance,
| the friends of Mr.. Bennett content that
Judge Mahoney having been almost
continuously kept in office by the peo-
pie of Vernon county, for q period of
about twenty-six years, (nearly twelve
years of which time he served in the
! Office of probate judge should now be
willing to step aside and give some one
else an opportunity.
Likewise, the adherents of Judge Ma
honey content that as Mr. Bennett,
| though still young man, has been four
times elected district attorney, an office
he now holds, having been elected last
fail, therefore, he cannot consistently
claim that Judge Mahoney should be
retired in his favor.
With the above arguments, it seems
that it ought not to be difficult to agree,
and therefore, if neither of the opposing
candidates should be elected, for similar
reasons advanced by both of them, is
it not the logical conclusion that some
other attorney should be elected to the
office?
In announcing my candidacy, | do so
as a non-partisan. believing that all
Judges should be elected as such, and
confident of my ability properly to exc
cute the important duties Of the office
to which l aspire, l respectfully solicit
your vote. Respectfully yours,
