This is the statement which Pro-
moter Jim Coffroth made before either
fighter had reached his dressing room.
Papke stated that he was willing to
meet Ketchel at any time and upon

talk about further matches. He was
bent upon getting out of the Enclosure
as quickly as possible and keeping
under cover.
Coffroth said that the fight convinced
him that the men could not settle
the question of supremacy in a limited
number of rounds and that il they
ever met before his club again he
would insist upon the Marathon route

Coffreth was apparently disappointed
by the showing which Ketchel made
but he refused to commit himself

Papke was the first to enter the ring,
as he stepped under the ropes at 2:32.
He wore an overcoat and trousers.
He walked around the ring and shook
hands with his friends. The Kewanee
lad looked to be in perfect shape and
he appeared confident. He left the ring
and walked into it again to allow the
moving pictures to get a picture of
him as he climbed through the ropes.
He then went back ITO his dressing
room.
At 34S Ketchel was seen coming
down the center isle of the arena, fol-
lowed by his seconds, Bob Armstrong,
Tom Parker. Charley Miller and Willis

When Langford and Kubiak fought a

ford was not in condition and Kubfak
stayed the distance. He was 40 pounds
heavier than Langford- This time Lang
ford will weigh about 165 pounds while
the Michigan slugger, who will tip the

to try TO put I.angford away. Langford
says he is anxious TO show New York.
Ketchel and others are afraid TO fight
him. and will use kubiak for demon
