LEAGUE BASEBALL
FOR W!ALLA N'ALLA

Is W,alla Walla to have baseball
next year? This question has been
much discussed by the local fans of
late, and there is a prevailing opinion
that there should be something of the
kind done here this coming season
Baseball is needed. Good baseball that
will place Walla Walla on a footing

scribed at once if the thing is started
off the way it should be. Whether
Walla Walla can get into the league
or not is a question, but with Portland
out of the northwest there seems to
be place OPEN Late reports indicate
that Portland is to have two teams
again, but even then Walla Walla
should be able to get into the game

picture men, the spectators rise and
their way, and announcer joe Hum
phreys naively tells us that they are
cheering the appearance of Ketchel
in the ring.
At last the fighters are in their cor
ners and the fight is about to begin.
Ketchel and Johnson pose together for
a moment. Ketchel looks like little
how before the towering black. His
muscles are so clean cut that he looks
like a small middle-weight. Johnson
is in perfect shape, too. Not trace
of fat. His round. clean-shaven head
chimes in the sunlight like polished

The Commercial club is filing to
back the proposition, but they feel
that they have asked the business men
for all the rooney they can. Hence it
is up to SON. of the sports of the city
to get busy. and they will do so in
the near future. 1t is probable that a
meeting will be called for next Tues

thoroughly. Those who are behind the
movement have no selfish motive. for
they will not appear in connection with
it any more than to give it their hearty

Before the fight has gone long we
know several things about it. Ketchel's
plan is to force Johnson out of his set
position and then rush him. At rare
intervals he let's go sudden, swish

it absolutely useless, except for an oc-
casional dig into the body Once, how

Johnson is evidently taking no
chances. He guards with steady skill.
He backs away time and again when

fine judgment of distance. Johnson
can't hit Ketchel, while attacking, be-
cause he's too slow.
But as the rounds go by Johnson be-
gins using a swift and Earring left jab.
Every blow brushes against the white
mans face, driving his head back with
a snap. Dark spots appear. KetchelS
face is bruised and battered and
smeared with blood. And all this time
the little white man is steadily and
patiently moving in, working fer an
opening for his famous hook either
right or left.
About the ninth or tentht round
Ketchel seems to be firing a little.

WIN in
1ST GAME

Formally opening the basketball
season at Whitman college, the first of
the inter-class games to determine the
class championship was pulled off be-
fore an enthusiastic crowd of over
100 students yesterday afternoon when
the freshmen five won over Pearsons
academy by the score of 33 to g. This
large score is accounted for from the
fact that several of the men composing
the "cads' squad were inexperienced,
but these gave every evidence of later
becoming expert and showed class at
many stages of the contest.
1t was perfectly evident after the
first few minutes of play yesterday
that the freshmen would have little
trouble in defeating the ''preps." They
had a more experienced team and
played with greater accuracy and team
work. For the winning team, Fat-
house at center, Champion, and Gill
son, forwards did some great work
and had little trouble in getting oppor-
tunity to land goals. On account of the
earliness Of the season for freshmen

nights practice. Mccoy guard and
Neil his team mate had little difficulty
in guarding the prep" forwards.
At the end of the first half the score
stood IL to 0 in favor of the freshmen.
The second half opened with both
teams determined but it was again
evident that the "preps" would be
hopelesSily outclassed. Champion,
Gibson, and Penthouse began the goal
ever and before the end of the game
had increased the score to 33. During
this half, however, the "preps" got
three points, one a basket by ONcil,
center and a goal from foul by Cap
tain Red" Sanford.
The game was refereed by Coach

ECCENTRIC DAYTON PIONEER
GIVES AWAY ALL PROPERTY

DAYTON, Wash, Dec. 14.-(Spec-
iaD-Because it has been learned that
Milo McKellips, eccentric pioneer,
gave away most of his property
which was valued at about $4,000
several years ago, relatives will re-
ceive only a paltry sum when the es-
tate is divided. George w. Jackson
Of the Columbia National bank made
application yesterday for letters of
administration.
The aged pioneer is said to have
given his wealth away lavishly dur
ing the last few years so that only
$1,000 remains of the $4,000 estate.
Foreseeing death a year before it
occurred he bought coffin and bur-

putting the Barrier Champion away in

Young Corbett is another example.
During his early ring career he was
sent to the Land of Nod by green
boxer named Jack Dempsey in two
rounds at Pueblo, but two weeks later
Dempsey was hammered down and
out by the Denver boy in three rounds.
1t was in 1901 that Young Corbett was
put to sleep by Kid Broad in four
rounds in Denver, but later Broad was
twice beaten by Corbett On decisions

next year Gardner beat Handler to the

he was beaten in Australia in for

a foul to Sharkey in California, but he
turned around and knocked out the

Frank Erne in a 20-round bout in 1896

any way For his pains he is jabi'ed
harder than before. When the eleventh
round ends this jabbing has given
Johnson a big lead, although Ketchel
is still Just as full of fight as at the
beginning.
Now comes the sensation The
twelfth round. Ketchel. as if realizing
that he must win quickly or not at all,
dashes in just as Johnson, always eau
tious to the point of timidity, pulls
back his hand, sees that he can't quite
avoid Ketcheps right, and tries to.

lands on the side of Johnson's head
Down goes the black man heavily
on his back. He tries to roll over to
his hands and knees, but walloWs like
a man on a ships deck in storm. He
rolls the other way and sprawls out
like a big spider. AS he tries to push
up he throws one leg out to balance
himself He is very groggy. Several
seconds have passed
Then Johnson comes UP and instant
ly sets himself, flat-footed. Ketchel,
who has stepped back, hurIs himself
in, wide Open arms circling for his
shifting right and left attack. Johnson
jabs and then plunges straight for
ward with his right, the weight of his
body behind the blow. He strikes
Ketchel full on the mouth, hurting him
heavily backward and down. KetchePs
light weight doesn't stop Johnson. The
! black man goes over Ketchel headlong,
trips on the fallen man and falls
sprawling himself two PAGES on the
other side. Johnson gets up slowly,
and stepping unsteadily to the ropes,
leans against them, still groggy. But
there is no doubt about Ketchel. He
is lying fiat on his back where he fell
stretched out at full length. Once he
raises his head. 1t falls back. The
count is finished. The crowd piles
into the ring.
Johnson could have worn Ketche,
down with that left jab and then have
knocked him out safely. The thing
that spoiled the plan was the unex-
pected and nearly fatal knockdoWr.
Probably if they fought again john

| thing but a few bumps.
