KETCHEL IS A WILLING TALKER
Stanley Dopes Out Easy Plant to Beat
Jack Johnson.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-stanley Ketchel,
the mlddleweight champion, who aspires to
a match with Jack Johnson, the worlds
heavyweight king. is confident that he can
best the big negro. The conqueror of Papke
comedies the Ethiopian the advantage in
height and weight, but stops there. He
states that .Johnson's cleverness has been
far overrated and that he has met and de-
fested men fully as shifty as the heavy
weight title holder. Ketchel further as
serts that he can hit as hard as his future
opponent and that he will advocate con-
tinued body blows to wear him down. The
middleweight champion says that he has
become considerably heavier and that he
could fight at 1S5 pounds and be in good
condition. ketchel appears to be firmly
convinced that Johnson would wilt under
a shower OF hard body blows, and that
he would thus be enabled to wrest the
regro's laurels from him in a long-dis-
tance go.

CHAMPION sCULLER UNDER KNIFE
Frank Greer to He Operated On Very
Soon,

BOSTON, Jan. 2.-Frank B. Greer, the
amateur champion ~sculler. will soon go un-
der the surgeons knife and once and for
all rid himself OF a trouble that has pre-
vented him from showing his proper racing
for several years.
Were it not for his desire to meet some
Of the best scullers in the world before re-
firing, Greer might not submit to the will
OF the surgeon, but there is no alternative
now that his ambition runs to racing with
top notchers, when everything must be
right and in his favor. Greer has kept up
light road work ever since he startled the
experts with his speed at Springfield last
August, and only a few evenings ago he
tipped the beam at 1s4, which shows that
he has added only eight pounds since his
last race.
Greer is more fortunate than most oars
men, for he has his choice to become coach
Of the Western Rowing club of st. Louis,
or meet Durham in a match race for the
professional championship of America.
Furthermore. he has been told by two ad-
mirers who are we'll rated in local finan-
cial circles that il his ambition leads him
to a trip to England to row in the coming
handicaps he has only to say the word and
the money will be his without the least
trouble. He will undoubtedly settle the
whole question while detained in the hos
pital as a result of the operation.

Three Bowling Teams Are Now in
the Race.
MID WEST TOURNAMENT IS ON
Omaha VIII Be Well Represented and
Local BOwlers Are Expected to
Bring Back some of
the Bacon.

ST. Joseph is the Mecca of the leading
bowlers of Omaha this week, many of
whom have already gone to open the tourn-
ament of the Midwest association. Three
of the Omaha teams left for st. Joseph
Saturday morning, and will be in the open
ing matches. These are all cracks, being
the Metz, Storz and Francisco's Presidents,
and are expected to make a good report OF
their trip.
A considerable of a shakeup occurred in
the standing of the Commercial league
teams the last week. The Luxus bowlers
step into first place for the first time this
season, and the Brodegaards are trying to
regain the position. The Omaha Bicycle
team has had to take a back seat for a
few days, but dope has it that they wiz be
right back and fighting for lost ground
with a vigor that will be surprising. Lit
tie change is noticed in the individual
standing. The 1872 class is becoming very
exclusive. This week the Bikes and Rang
ers will run down to st, Joseph and en-
deavor to demonstrate the game to other
bowlers outside of the home pasture.

league bowlers week ending January %,

WALKING MATCHES IN NEW YORK
Gotham Sports Favor the Six-Day Co
aa-You-PIease stunt.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Local sporting
men are talking over the revival of the
six-day go-as-you-please race of years ago
that is scheduled to start in Madison
Square garden on March Z. Years back,
before marathons held fun sway and anna
teur track athletics did not receive the
patronage that they now enjoy. the old
six-day go-as-you-please race was the
event that attracted the athletically dis
posed to the big arena. It is intended to
have thirty-six pedestrians from all nations
Of the old and new worlds compete in this
race, and great preparations are being made
to insure the best opponents of this branch
OF athletics appearing. The thirty-six run
ners will comprise eighteen teams. each
representing a country. Prize money to the
extent OF 5000 has been offered. and all
signs point toward a successful revival Of
the old sport.

OF the east and middle west a record break

RACE TRACK BILL UP IN SENATE
California House refuses to Recon-
slider Measure.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 23.-The
Walker-Otis anti-racetrack bill, which
passed the lower house of the legislature
on Thursday by a vote og 81 to 10, has
gone 10 the senate, a motion to reconsider
having been defeated yesterday by a vote
of 81 TO 19. The senate has adjourned until
Monday and nc action will be taken on the
measure by that body until later in the
week.
No organized fight was made by the OPP
ponents of the bill In the assembly, where
its passage was virtually conceded. A de-
ermined effort to defeat the measure will
be made in the senate, however, and from
present indications the contest will be Bit
terly fought by both sides. Should the bill
pass the senate and go to the governor it
is understood that he will sign It.

GIANTS MEET ON MAT MONDAY
w~estergaard Has Gained One Tech
nIcnl Victory Over Rouen.

w~esterEaard Has Gained One Tech
meal Victory over ROuen.
When Jess Westergaard and Raoul de
Rouen meet Monday night at the Audi
tcrium it will be a meeting of wrestling
giants, for both are in the heavyweight
class and both are aspirants for cham
pionship honors. The match is attracting
attention all over the country and large
delegations from Des Moines, Tekamah,
Plattsmouth. Lincoln. Grand Island and
other points have had blocks of seats re-
served for the night OF the match.
These two have met before and Wester-
gard was given the decision. On dope
they stand about even chances of winning
the match. although the big Frenchman
has about twenty pounds the better of the
argument. Both made about the same
kind OF a showing against Mshmout, the
new Terrible Turk. whom Farmer Burns
says is the best of all the foreigners who
have come to this country for some years.
The Turk failed to throw Westergaard
twice in an hour at Des Moines and last
Tuesday night at Kansas City he failed
to throw the Frenchman twice in an hour.
In both these bouts the Turk got his first
fall In about thirty minutes but could
not secure the second in the required time.
More and more women attend these
matches on each succeeding match and 1t
is now quite the thing for the women to
turn out in large numbers. Smoking is
prohibited, which adds to the comfort of
the women. and the men seem to be will
ing to forego their smoking to have the
pleasure OF the company OF the women.
Manager Gillian has made extra arrange
ment to handle the big crowd which is
sure to be present Monday night. Three
ticket windows will be thrown open that
there will be no jamming and crowding.
The preliminary match between Jack
Kinney, the Union Pacific shop man. and
George Selotof. the Greek. will undoubtedly
be a red-hot bout. Kinney and the Greek
are OF the same weight to a pound. each
weighing 1852 pounds, and are apparently
, very evenly matched In every way.

was in the beginning. This year he wants
to start ike a whirlwind in the opening
