the training he had in the east and
the work he will do here. Ketch will
have done exactly four weeks and a
half work when he steps into the ring
with Johnson.
When the matter of postponemens
was sprung, Willis said that Ketchel
was ready to fulfill his part of the
contract. and though he believed that
October 80 would be better date to
fight than the present one, from a
financial standpoint. he was ready tr
90 ahead and carry out the original
plans.
"Ketchel will be right" he said
when he faces Johnson. There viii
be no excuses to offer. for he is bigger
prise many of the wise ones.
He has had couple of weeks OF
nard training. and instead of losing

than ever"

officials stepped In and stopped the bout
at the last moment.
Ketchel will start training today at
Milletts headquarters. where he has
conditioned himself for most OF his
battles. He plans to go right into hard
work from the outset. Ketchel will
get several big men for his sparring
partners. He figures that big men will
suit him better. as it will give him an
idea how it is roughing heavy weights.
There are a number of big fellows
around that can be secured who should
prove capable sparring partners.
Johnson continued his training yes
terday. and the big black appears to
be in excellent shape. He was glad to
hear that Ketchel had arrived. and he
was emphatic i'm his declaration that
there would be no postponement OF the
fight
johnson intends to increase his work
and says that he will weigh in the
neighborhood of 210 pounds when he
enters the ring with Ketchel.

A stimulus was given the prepara-
tory training of the boys of st. James
school for the coming indoor meet of
the picnic held at Monticello grove yes
terday at which the youngsters took
part in a number of athletic events.
The picnic was given by the popular
pastor of st. James parish, Rev. P. r.
Lynch, who has been a consistent
booster for the Catholic league since
its inception.
Realizing the vast amount of practical
good that accrues from rightly directed
athletic contests, Father Lynch has
taken active interest in the training
ton of the indoor meet of the league

tested for by class relay teams. The
Smith cup will be contested for yearly,
in the same way in which the students

When Stanley Ketchel arrived from
the east several months ago after his
clever victory over Jack O'Brien. the
middle weight champion was given a
royal welcome. There was tallyho
and music to escort him up Market
street. but the temper of the welcome
last night when he arrived from New
York was icy compared to the former
one. The middle weight champion was
accompanied by his manager, Willis
Britt.
Ketchel suIked away in the crowd,
and when he thought he was out of the
Market street on the run. Ketch is
dubbed a lion, but the way he tore up
Market street he resembled the grey
hound more than the king of beasts.
A few faithful newspapermen were
on the job to see what the champion
had to say, and when he started his
hotfoot up the main thoroughfare they
Joined the pursuit along with a number
of small boys The scribes were short
of wind. but they caught car which
Ketchel boarded several blocks from
the ferry after he had believed he had
escaped them.
Believing that he would give up in
formation after he was cornered, he
sprung another surprise by declaring
that he had nothing to say and hoped
off the car into the darkness. The &C
lions of Ketchel would lead stranger

from the dippy ward at the detention

While Ketchel failed to enlighten the
sporting world as to what his inten-

was on the job, though he could not ex-
plain the actions of his charge in doing
a hotfoot.
Britt does not seem to be a bit
annoyed over the stories about how
Johnson beat Kaufman. He says that
Kaufman feared the colored fellow.
while Ketchel is confident that he can
beat him. He says that Ketchel is
bigger now than ever. Ketchels ap-
pearance will bear Willis out. for the
Michigander looks bigger than ever.

CRACK TENNIS PLAYERS BACK
AND WILL SAIL FOR AUSTRALIA
By GRANT SMITH

the doubles the Californians are con-
ceded an excellent chance to win. Long
said that they both hoped to beat
Welding, but did not think any too well
of their chances against Brooks. This
would make the outcome hinge on the
doubles match.
The Californian players were treated
royalty while in the east, and said that
the reports that Mclaughlin had been
treated unfairly by the linesmen in his
match with Clothier Were exaggerated.
Long said that only one decision was
fragrant and that lost Mclaughlin a
set.
Long and Mclaughlin declared that
the grass courts. when kept in good
condition, were superior to the asphalt
courts in use here. The grass is rolled
with a steam roller. and the surface is
smooth and true. The grass courts are
a longer stav on them without fatigue
than the asphalt courts.
Long and Mclaughlin expect to be
accompanied by an eastern player, who
will act as a substitute in case either
should be unable to play on account of
sickness: Who the third man on the
team will be they do not know, but
expect to be notified in day or two.
The third player will also act as mana
ger. There has been talk of Beals
Wright o aceo;ampa59ying the boys but
in poor shape. 1t Is likely Wright's
father will also make the trip to
Australia.
A special match has been arranged
for Sunday afternoon at the park. Long
and Mclaughlin will make their re-
appearance in lit, and a record break
ing crowd will be in attendance. George
James, the present coast champion, and
Sumner Hardy, a former holder of the
same title. will oppose Long and Nc
Loughlin in an exhibition doubles
Gate park courts at 2:so o'clock. No
admission fee Will be charged.
