Britt Tells How Easily ketchelI Can
Whip Johnson.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-"Stanley Ketchell
can beat Jack Johnson if | can ever
get them in the ring together"
This was the opinion expressed yes
terday by Willius Britt, manager IF
Ketchell, before he departed for Grand
Rapids to arrange for details of the
bout between Ketchell and O'Brien,
which is carded for Philadelphia n
the near future.
STANLEY has it over Johnson" said
Britt. "He can hit a hard blow, and
can't see- that there is much diff
ference in the power behind the punch
of a first-class middleweight and an
ordinary class heavyweight. can't
see that Johnson is such a wonder.
He is a good, strong fellow, and all
that, but | don't size him up as a
world-beater."
Ketchell's next bout probably will
be with Jack O'Brien, according to
his manager. The Philadelphia pub

SLUMP IN new YORK
STOCK MARKET
Declines Are General With Heavy
Volume Of Trading.

New York, Feb. 24.-Suspicion and
distrust OF the speculative market
spread with rapid growth and brought
the fabric of values down with crash.
The conviction was quick in coming
after the throwing open of the steel
market to competition last week that
the stock market position was an arti-
fetal one and had been brought about
by false assumptions OF the trade posi-
ton. Various factors combined to &C
centuate the weakness and it gained
cumulative force. The serious view
taken by the London market of our
disturbances, as shown by the heavy
declines effected there during the New
York holiday, paved the way for re-
newal of the downward course. The
foreign markets were also unsettled
by the-reviVal of fears of an outbreak
in the Balkans, due to Servia's atti.
tude towards Austria. London sent
heavy orders to the New York market
as soon as trading began and this
helped the downward rush OF prices,
which began after the opening. A new
set of weakening factors came in the
differences drawn from the reConven-
ing of the supreme court at Washing
ton. Decisions were handed down
against the New York Central for re-
batting and the speculative element, ,or
reasons which a lawyer might not fol-
low, jumped to the conclusion that a
later decision would uphold the con-
stitutionality of the commodities clause
of the Hepburn law and so constIa ain
the anthracite railroads to get rid of
their mining properties. Reading sold
as low as l1S, loss for the day OF
1919 points, United States steel sold
down to 4ll2 and closed at the lowest,
loss in price of Az poiats. The rail.
road list was off from 3 &c over
points tor al the active stocks.
