KETCHEL TRAINING
Bettors VIII Take Keen Interest in
Condition of Champion When He
Works for Ten-Round Battle
with Langford

NEW YORK, Aug. 10-Stanley
Ketchel, who win fight Sam Langford
ten rounds at the Fairmont Athletic
club here September 3, is expected in
New York before the week is over
Quarters already have been retained
for him in Westchester county and he
will start heavy training Immediately
on his arrival. Langtord already has
gone into training at Boston and will
not arrive here until q day or two be
fore the fight.
In anticipation Of the demand for
the rink TO accommodate 1000 persons
and it is expected that more than twice
that many persons will try to get into
the building. The club has 5000 mem
bers on its rolls but usually only
about one-third Of them witness q
fight.
If Ketchel can get himself into the
condition he was IN when he whipped
Jack O'Brien the last time he will have
a large following, but if his condi-
tion is stale, most of the money is
quite certain to be wagered on his
dusky opponent. For that reason the
training of Ketchel viii be observed
closely by sporting men, and the men
who have their money on ketchel want
to be certain that he is in prime con-
dition when he enters the ring. Lang
ford is said to be training faithfully,
and while ne has never tackled a fast,
aggressive slugger of the Ketchel type,
he is confident that his science and his
heavy hitting will make the Michigan
man slow up in four or five rounds.

DECISIVE SERIES

OPEN AT CHUTES
WEEKS PLAY ALL IMPORTANT
TO CHAMPIONS
Pennant Bearers Are on Edge for Bit
ter Struggle and VIII EndeaVor to
Sweep Series-Double Umplrs
System to Be Used
THE PROBABLE LINEUP

All roads today lead toward Chutes
park. At least every highway and by
way within Los Angeles that winds up
in the vicinity of the baseball field will
afternoon the Seals and the Champions
open up the most important series of
the entire schedule It is a week Of
be filled with hurrying crowds, for this
unusual significance in the flag race
in the coast league. OF extraordinary
Importance is the result to the Angels
fans, for one way or the other it will
settle the question of the chances Of the
Angels or any other team making a
fight with the classy San Francisco
aggregation for the highest honors.
So much depends on the results of to-
days game and the contests that fol-
low every day with a double-header
Sunday and game Monday, that ex-
ira preparations have been made. A
double umpire system, bringing two of
the most cautious and brainiest of the
indicator men on the field, will be
used.
Both captains after many an hour
of anxious thought have mapped out
their plan of campaign for the week.
Every pltcner KNOWS Just what is set
for him to do, and every fielder and
heavy hitter on the Angel team has
instructions to play the game of their
life this week. It will be a royal con-
fiict from the commencement of hos
tilities, when McGreevy announces the
batteries and dusts off the plate this
afternoon.
So fast have the. Angels been playing
in the last two weeks and SO hard
have they been clouting the ball that
the Seals do not come south with the
expectation of scoring the easy victory
they were handed in the last series with
the pennant bearers. Mohler has in
formed his men that it is up to them
to play on their tip-toes all the week.
Henry Berry announces that he will
don a Los Angeles uniform and will
appear on the Angel bench. He will
sacrifice his hot clothes, orangeade hat
and all, just to bring every possible
hunch to bear in favor of the locals,
and if Berry is willing to do this much
the fans should be willing to turn out
and cheer the champions all along the
way. The San Francisco team will
arrive this morning from Portland.

launch Flyer, Capt. w. II. Graves,
from which the men were fishing in the
vicinity of Portuguese Bend. The fight
with the monster continued for fifty
seven minutes. Hung up on the outer

critics went out to see him at his quar-
ters before his bout with Young
Josephs, they were surprised to hnd
how busy he kept himself.
It is a marvel to an Engllshman
that Welsh can be a vegetarian and
still a good fighter. The Sportsman
says:
1.-The fact that he has won over sixty
contests, eighteen of which have gone
over ten rounds, makes it very plain
that flesh meat and alcohol are not to
some a necessary. In this respect the
little man from Pontypridd stands out
by himself a marvellous statue in the
history of the noble art, while to show
that he possesses the punch sixteen
knockouts are down to his credit.
Contrary to the methods of English
boxers, Welsh is busy practically the
day through. In the morning he works
at the pulleys, strengthens the muscles
Of the neck by a set of exercises he
has developed, and by another set of
exercises given his abdomen that wash
board appearance that betokens the
singular development Of the muscles
there. After that he goes for a six or
eight mile run on the road, and re-
turns to be massagod. All this con-
sumes about two and half hours, and
the first meal of the day follows at
about 10 o'clock At he is in his
gymnasium and gives two hours to
bag punching shadow boxing and real
boxing with his sparring partners, and
very real boxing it is, too. A shower
a plunge in the swimming bath and a
thorough massage end the work.
1.-THE second and final meal of the
day comes at about 7 o'clock, then
more relaxation. and finally eight
hours of sleep. His training place is
quite an ideal affair, for adjoining a
large room some thirty by ninety feet,
fitted with everything an athlete could
desire, is an admirable and we'll ap-
pointed swimming bath, with douche
at hand.
"Here Welsh takes his plunge when
necessary, and a dozen steps back find
him in his gymnasium. Welsh, who
has Jack Davis of Cardiff-not the
heavyweight who fought 'Jem' Smith
for his assistant pays great attention
to the strengthening of his muscles.
This is a favorite item on his bill, and
constant practice has made him past
master in the business. On Tuesday
he had to do his road run in drenchinG
rain, but this only seemed to freshen
him up. A remarkable thing in con-
nection with his work is the fact that
he does that of the morning on moth
ing more than a whipped egg with a
little cream and a few mouthfuls of
his nut diet. Few men could go
through so much on practically an
empty stomach"

Fire District Meeting.

In the adjourned annual meeting of the

evening a resolution was passed which
indicates that the old committee will
be upheld in it's contention over the water
rate with the Chestnut Hill Reservoir
company and that the district will not
pay the amount which the company
claims is due without a struggle The re-
solution is self explanatory and is as fol-
lows: Resolved that the attitude of
this meeting does uphold and defend the
integrity and capability of the gentlemen
who served as prudential committee for
the fire district when q contract was
made with the Chestnut Hill Reservoir
company for a water supply. That the
report of said committee was duly ac-
cepted. That $40 a year was the price
agreed upon. That any claim to the con-
trary on the part of the Chestnut Hill
Reservoir company rests upon said COM
pany to establish"
indicated above the prudential committee
serving at that time reporting the price
agreed upon to be SO year. Later
representative of the reservoir company
presented a bill for about four times that
amount and insisted that that was the
price agreed upon. The resolution indi-
Gates tsrongly the position which the fire
district takes. In the business meeting
1T was voted to raise tax of 10 per cent
on the grand list The question Of new
hose and the purchase of an extension
ladder was left to the discretion of the
prudential committee. The officers of the
district are as follows: Prudential COM
