kETCHEL LETS GO
ON Weller TITLE

Stanley Ketcnel has practically de-
cided to re%linquish his claim to the
middleweight championship Of the
world. He won the title when he
knocked out Bill Papke, of Peoria, in
California last wear and successfully
defended it in The recent bout with
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien.
For the latter mill Ketchel found it
a hard task to make the middleweight
limit of 15S pounds, and since then he
has taken on so much weight that he
is inclined to the belief that he can
never reduce to that figure again. In
fact, Ketchel, o that he is matched
with Jack johnson for a 20-round bout
in Colma, Cal, next October, has start
ed to build up.
He is eating three big meals 81 day and
says he weighs even now close to 1870
pounds. He Will scale at about the same
figure if Johnson fights him.. and as he

Ketchel does not believe that Johnson

that he will cancel the match and will
