that the latter is too short, too light,
too slow and altogether too open in
his style of fighting. Johnson says he
will lift him off the floor with that

Is Always Dangerous.

He surely is a terrific hitter, vi
cious fighter, dangerous opponent. He
is liable to beat any man they put be-
fore him. If he lands on any one, then
something is going to break or fall
down. Ketch has one drawback. He is
too open. Like Billy Papke, he rushes
in with his face unprotected. He is
thinking of what he is to do, never
thinking for a second that the other
man might cop him.
The Langford admirers think that
Ketchell will be soft for their man.
They say that when the cowboy pulls
back to swing Sam will drop one over
and end the proceedings.
On the other hand the cowboys adj
mirers figure that one punch in the
midriff will make Sam forget all about
everything he ever knew or tried to
learn.
