The idea will not hold. The use of a
larger ball is not any more feasible
than using q larger bat for the reason
that a ball larger than the one now in
use could not be easily curved. hence
less strategy on the part OF the pitch

game has developed into battle Of

the fight centers for the appearance
of Ketchel, back once more in his
own class. These San Francisco re-
ports make it plain, however, that
Stanley is upon the shelf for some
time to come. The announcement
some time ago that ne would not fight
in many months doubtless came from
an authoritative source.
Ketchel has been one Of the widest
of young men. Training was an awful
bore to him at all times, and only
the lure Of nice things possible Of
accomplishment with the accruing
coin made the training periods half
was pleasant Indeed at times Stan
ley neglected his work absolutely. and
this was the excuse given when Billy
Papke hung one over on Stanley in
the Los Angeles ring and finally
knocked him out completely
Britt for a time proved TO be thc
restraining hand for Ketchel but Il
was not long before the Britt innu-
ence began to work the reverse way
and, together the pair is said 10 haYe
strayed from the straight and mar
row. New York stories were to the
effect that when STANLEY remained at
the hotel and elected to put IN quiet
night he would have to dodge Britt
by taking another room than his own
and going TO bed.
1t would be most unfortunate 70 see
