pAPkE's FRIENDS PROTEST
Brand Decision in Fight With ketche,
as Robbery.

San Francisco, July THE friends
Of Billy Papke brand the awarding of
the decision in the twenty-round bat
tie to Stanley Ketchel as robbery,
pure and simple"
To the fact that Papke held on dur
ing the last two or three rounds and
that ketchel scored a knockdown in
the tenth can be charged Papke's de-
feat.
Papke appeared to have all the bet
ter of the milling from the first to the
ninth round. During this period Ket-
chel staggered around like a loser and
then suddenly woke up in the tenth
and knocked Papke down. Papke was
In trouble for two rounds and then
came back strong and had Ketchel
staggering, but could not land effec-
lively. He landed but few blows of
good force. He ended the fight by
persistently hanging on.
ketchel is suffering from a fracture
of a bone in his right wrist and a dis
located thumb as a result Of the fight.
Willis Britt has called off Ketchel's
proposed fight with Jim Flynn and
will take him to the mountains to re-
cuperate.

Food Prices Now and Later.

aEN
1t has been a source of relief to find
that prices Of some Of the everyday
necessities for the table a come
down. Even a tri1e Topped OF would
seem to indicate that the top had been
reached and phenomenal rates could
not be maintained for long. But those
who keep close watch of the subject
insist that appearances are deceiving
If the temporary decline is taken to
mean a permanent reaction. Com.
pared with a few weeks OF q few
months ago the small buyer is better
off. Still, prices are high for the sea-
son-evidencc that current production,
however abundant, is not overstocking
the market.
The serious phase of the living prob
lem. marketmcn predict, will come
later. when the consumers must de-
pend upon stuff now going into storage
for the winter. 1t is costing the pack
ers more to get it than the same class
cost a year ago. They naturally ex-
pect to sell it at an advance on last
years prices. The family preserving
kettle should also get busy and do
some homemade storing. Things will
be relatively cheap for a few weeks
and consumption perhaps lavish. "You
can't eat your cake and have it, too"
but you can often put by what isn't
really needed for present comfort and
next winter cut down the cold storage
mans expectations by just so much.

was surely at the philharmonic con.

the great establishment of the audi
ence. Ii was moi until ten or twelve
years later, however, that the baton
came into general use. A German con
1uctor who welded one produced such
wonderful results with his orchestra
that it was thought there must be
some magic power In the baton, and
II consequently became popular with
conductors all over the country. Be
fore the advent Of the baton time was
kept by the first violinist or by the

Our Navy at Target Practice.

When our navy engages in target
practice, nobody is invited on board
On the contrary the secrets of target
practice are jealousy guarded and
the public is rigidly excluded. Even
the daily papers can give only very
meager accounts-partly because the
scenes defy description. Therefore
when Lyman II. Howe offers series
of pictures accurately showing a bat
tleship in action as seen both from the
12-inch turret and the fighting top, the
audience in the Blanchard Opera
House tonight can rest assured. of a
real new sensation. Many people
know really much less about battle
ship in action than of an alrship fight,
yet nothing could be more interesting
than a clear idea of how the $2,750,0 900
appropriation for ammunition is used
each year. This is revealed by Mr..
Howe's pictures. They are grimly real
Notwithstanding can surpass the
grim reality of $7,000,000 battleship
engaged in the game of war. Shot af-
ter shot is fired at the target many
miles away. The series also shows
how the big guns are made.
The new program also includes a
tour through picturesque Algeria, the
Gorge Du Var, France, the Rockies in
mid-winter visit to the Ice Palace
and winter carnival, Montreal, skating
races, tobogganing, dissolving por-
traits of English statesmen, life in g
lumber camp, the glories of sunset and
moonlight, etc.

LONG MARCH IN RAIN.
Norwich Cadets on Hike From
White River Junction Encounter
Obstacles

Obstacles.
The Norwich University cadets,
who camped at the State Fair at
White River Junction and who, in
lieu Of attending other fairs, were to
have practice hike instead, have
been set back in their march, by the
heavy rains and it is doubtful if
they will finish the distance on foot
They were in Randolph Tuesday.
By the schedule which Captain
Chapman laid out for them, they
were to have started from their
camp at White River last Friday at
p. m. but it rained so heavily on
that date, that the start was post
poned unil the next day in order
that the State equipment might be
loaded in some sort of dry condi-
| ton.
The command started on their re-
turn at an early hour Saturday
morning and as the weather was all
that could be expected, the original
orders to make the days hike to
Sharon, a distance of eight miles,
was changed and the cadets were
marched to South Royalton, eleven
miles further. This was long, te-
dious journey for the first day on
the road and the men were glad to
pitch camp knowing that there
would be no march the next day, as
it was Sunday.
Monday the trip was made to
Bethel in a downpour of rain This
was a short march of seven miles.
The rain came down in torrents on
| the little army all night, drenching
every man in the command. They
stated at $50 Tuesday morning FOR
Randolph, reaching there in the
middle of the forenoon, where they
camped for the night.
