An Enjoyable Ball.

One Of the most enjoyable balls given
IN these parts for a long time was the
one at the popular Glenwood hotel al
kenova last Friday evening under the
auspices OF the Junior and Senior classes
OF the High School Of the independent
Dist. OF Ceredo. There were just enough
present for all in attendance to have a
good time and those participating Ger.
tainly did enjoy themselves. Besides
home folk-Ceredo and Kenova peo-
ple-there were a number present from
Huntington, Central City and Louisa,
Ky. At a seasonable hour refreshments
were served.
l. T.. Tillman, Ed. Adkins and
Charles Marcum furnished excellent
music for the occasion. All speak in
the highest terms of the kind treatment
accorded them by the management OF
the Glenwood.

 Philadelphia, June 10.-Stanley Ketchell. the Montana cowboy is the big factor in the pugilistic world to- day. His defeat of Philadelphia Jack O'Brien in less than three rounds last night has made him the favorite here for the fight with Jack Johnson. Both men have been seen in action in the same ring and to-day those who at tended the bouts declare that Ketchell has a much harder punch than John son. that he is very much faster and that the flat-footed style of the negro champion would make him com paratively easy mark for the western man.
 s'KetchelI will beat Johnson to a pulp when they meet in San Francis CO.," declared O'Brien to-day. "I have tried out both men and want to say rioht here, no more of Ketchell for mine. He surprised me and he has improved wonderfully since I met him in New York. He is the hardest hit ter I ever met. I thought I had a chance to win until he got to me with off. Here is what will beat Johnson. He cannot stand stomach punishment and in that he is not alone. Walcott, Cans, and several others are the same way. A body blow from Ketchell is worth half dozen to the jaw. Every punch he starts has the knockout labelled in it but fortunately most of that I would sooner have a roof fall on me than to act as the receiver for many of KetchelIs blows. I was sorry last night that the referee stopped the

fight but know better now that have had a chance to feel the efect Of the punching I got"
 O'Brien put up a game fight but he was outclassed from the start For the first time in any of his fights Ketchell He was after O'Brien like a flash when the latter tried to get away from him afte the initial sparring and he rained a fusilade of rights and lefts to the body of the Philadelphian. As a mat ter of fact the bell saved O'Brien in the second round and when he came up for the third he was so dazed he stinging left hook to the stomach had taken all of the ginger out of the local man and he was very pale while there was little of the shifty fighter in his approach then. The third round lasted less than a minute. OBrien reeled and houndered about the ring and Ketchen sent him down with a blow. the i'm pact of which could be heard all over the place. O'Brien was all but put out and Referee McGuigan waved Ketcf1en to his corner the victor. He explained later that if he had per mitted a knockout there was every chance that O'Brien would have been fatally hurt.
 Sitting in his corner befoe going back to his dressing room, Ketchen said ''I knew I could whip O,Brien in less than six rounds. I fought him just as I planned. He couldn't withstand my rushing tactics and was beaten from the first gong. I am more confident than ever that I can whip Johnson. The negro's poor showing against O'Brien convinces me of this"
 The attendance was $500 and the re- ceipts, according to the officials of the club, were $6, ,500.

This team was account of themselves that Manager Ritchel did not hesitate in booking them again for this season. There has been a considerable shake-up in the ranks of the West Ends, due to their unsteady playing recently.

Wamsutter. Wyo.. June 9.-The pros poets for to-day'S walk are not very encoura ging. The wind is blowing and it is every evident it will rain again. The recent storms have put the road bed in bad walking shape, and for a few days at least, conditions will not change. These sudden changes and the daily drenching that I get are becom- ing monotonouS.
 The lack of proper nourishment, and at the time when I need it most, does not help matters. This can't be helped, because it cannot be had for love or money. Add to this the weather con- ditions, and nothing short of dtscour- agement could be expected. However this may be. am not victim of dis couragement. but will fight to the end. will go to bed at F. M. and leave a call for P. M. and will try to make a long day. My physical condition will permit any amount of walking, and I am only waiting for chance to show it.
