SELAK & HOFFMAN,

fight FANS UP
AGAINST ROCHE
Hiss When he Gives Fight TO
KetCheII, Papke Says He
Was Robbed

SAN FRANCISCO, July eight
fans in Frisco are sore today over the
decision of Referee Roche, who award
ed to Stanley Ketchel the decision at
the end of a twenty round milf with
Billy Papke last night.
Ketchers work was a bitter disap-
pointment to the men who think he
can whip Jack Johnson. He was an
ordinary performer. Had Papke gone
in in his hurricane style, few believe
Ketchel could have lived through the
twenty rounds. When it was all over
he was a tired gladiator. with stall
about having broken his hand in the
sixth round. Papke, on the other hand.
was fresh and unmarked, and could
have stood many more rounds of that
kind of lighting.
There were many Kisses when Re
feree Roche awarded the fight to Ket-
chel.
In many rounds during the fight,
Papke had Ketchel groggy and going,
but seemed to prefer playing safe to
going in and putting Ketchel out by
taking chances. Many believe that had
Papke's seconds urged him on, he
could have given Ketchel the right
ndnueu narcotic lldL Woulu nave put
him to sleep for a whole lot more than
ten seconds.
Papke declares he was robbed. Re
feree Billy Roche robbed me. Ketchel
was the champion and he was the big
favorite Roche did not have the nerve
to decide in my favor. A draw would
have been bad enough, but TO give Ket-
chel 1.-The decision was highway rob-
berry"
PaplSe has challenged Ketchel to a
finish fight and it is probable Ketchel
will accept. Papke's only condition is
that Roche shall not act as referee.
Roche today made the following
statement:
"Ketchel was the aggressor at all
times. He landed the cleanest and the
hardest punches and scored the only
knockdown in the tenth round, although
nearly everybody seems to think Papke
slipped and fell. There is absolutely
no question that Ketchel won the fight
fairly"
The total receipts at last nights fight
were S23.2 200. of which s10.441 went to
Ketchel and Ss.4sO to Papke. The clubs
share was S9,279.

NO BACK DOWN
FOR WILMINGTON
Second Meeting in InterCity
Race Series Will be Held
as Scheduled
The Phlladeiphia Record says.

The Philadelphia Record says:
Owing to miX-up, in which two driv-
ers INDUCED in a slashing encounter with
whips during the last heat of a race at
wilmington, Del, during the intercity
race meet between Wilmington and Phil
adelphia road drivers, rumors have been
heard that the Wilmington horsemen
would refuse to race in the return match
on July II at Belmont course. President
II. H. Wallace, Of the Wilmington Club.
speaking for himself said; "The races
scheduled at Belmont on July IA will
be held if the hve horses that have en-
tered are the only ones that go from VIII
mington. But / have no doubt that
other Wilmington horses will be taken to
Philadelphia and raced. I never quit at
the half-mile pole. I am not inclined
to blame the entire Philadelphia associa-
tion for something that two of its mem
bers did. and / do not believe that the
Road Drivers Association would coun-
tenance anything wrong any more than
would the Wilmington association"
The members Of the Road Drivers Club
will be on hand at the Belmont meeting
ang give the visitors a royal welcome,
although some OF them believe that they
got the worst of the deal One of the
Philadelphia men who was fined was innO-
cent of intentional wrongdoing. while the
other member, who last his temper
apologized for the act. The two Will
mington drivers who caused the trouble
escaped without fine or reprimand. II
IS this latter fact that makes some of the
Philadelphia horsemen sore, but they are
not disposed to harbor hard FEELINGS, and
the coming races will be contested with
out regard to the past.

lin of vessels of at least coo tons,
though not at low water times.
" here a suitable correction was not
possible, the rivers were converted
into use as canals and provided with
locks Of large dimensions. Those ca
nails then in use were replaced by
more efficient ones and several new
canals were built where there had
been none
The length of German inland
waterways during the last % years
has only been about 800 kilometers
GOO miles, said Count Won Bern
stOrff, but the improvement has not
been in length but in efficiency OF
the total 10000 kilOmeters which
are of actual Importance for inland
navigation, the lengUn has remained
nearly unchanged"
The count then proceeded to tel
of the capacity of the waterways
While ships of more than 1000 tons
may travel upon the Rhine, the OBJ
erland Canal of East Prussia can
only bear barges of so tons.
In the work of correction of the
greater streams, several general
schemes were settled. Stages and
parallel works narrowed the chan
nels and in consequence a greater
depth of water was obtained. By
making the banks firm, changes in
the course were made unnecessary.
When steamboats, began to use the
waterways, it became necessary to
protect the banks by strong dykes
of stone and cement The bridges
are generally of fixed construction
at such height and then they do
not hinder traffic The bulk of the
traffic is concentrated in a great
number of harbOrs specially built
partly by the state corporations or
private owners.
1t is interesting to point to the
fact, declared the count, that the
number of vessels for inland navi-
cation exceeded the seagOing Ger
man vessels six fold and that their net
tonnage is one and one half times
greater and amounts to one third
Of the net tonnage of all the Drit-
ish seagOing ships registered by
Lloyds in 1902.
Comparing the effect of the de-
velOpment Of the inland waterways
on the traffic of the railways the
count said notwithstanding the con-
slant increase of the railways, the
short waterways have had a traffic
equal to nearly one third of the ag-
gregate of that of the railways. The
transport by water being cheaper
than by rail, the further improve
ment of German inland waterways
promises to be useful to the German
industrial life.
when one considers that the rail
ways, in spite of the active inland
navigation, have attained a favora-
BILE development and that they are
the most profitable in Prussia where
inland navigation is best developed,
it is evident that a harmonious CO.
operation of waterways and railways
is also profitable to the latter"
