Kewanee boy was slowly gaining the
upperhand.
There is undoubtedly one claim of
the Ketchel men that the films sun
stantiate Had Papke been willing TO
stand up and bravely take the chances
which the tired and laboring champion
took he might now be the title holder
But the twelfth round, in which ketch-
el was weak and wobbly, found Papke
drawing within himself, evidently at
tempting to conserve his strength after
a fash Of speed and mixing which mad
sent the champion reeling, and right
there he lost the opportunity to end
matters Again in the nineteenth and
twentieth Papke might have won by
forcing the pace, but he cOntented him
self with holding and blocking, aiming
for a decision rather than knockout.
To lion-hearted ketChel must be given
all credit for a remarkable exhibition
of ring bravery. Though several times
in distress. weak, tired, his mouth
open, and his wind almost gone, Stan
lev never stopped coming, his arms
always tearing in, and though the
blows were sometimes blocked and
sometimes went wide, he never ceased
trying. The pictures are full of in
terest to those of the followers Of the
game who yet are unable to satisfy
themselves regarding the justice of the
decision given by Billy Roche.
Phil Brock and Frank Picato are
hard at work preparing for ten
round bout before the Pacific Athletic
club to be staged before the Maud fans
Friday evening August 13 The hoo
doc number has no terrors for either
man, and both figure that they will
win by the sleep route. Yesterday
marked the beginning Of hard training
IL
Athletic club Brock is grinding away
and Picato is getting into trim at Jack
Doyle's Vernon camp. Yesterday the
latter took off several pounds of SUI
perhuous weight, and he will be down
to the fighting figure in short order.
Brock and Big Jim Barry accom-
panied by Tom McGinty, started out
the Mission road bright and early
Monday morning and after a fivemile
brisk walk chased their trainers back
to the club and broke into a hard
run for about ten miles,
Both men returned and after a
thorough rub down felt fine. They
are down TO hard work, Brock for his
match with Picato and Jim for any
thing that might turn up in the near
future.
Brock realizes that in Picato he will
meet one Of the best little men on
the coast and he viii leave no stone
unturned to fit himself for a bruising
battle.
