interested in the improvements which
are being made at that popular resort
and of which they will have the bene-
fit with the coming of another season.
A new casino for dancing has recently
been completed at the north end of the
island and near the site of the hotel
which was destroyed by fire a num-
Der OF years ago, and preparations are
now in progress for the building of a
new wharf to take the place of the one
which has long done duty there. The
new structure will be built by Ralph

rection of the Capitol Island Associa-
ton and will be an improvement
which will be appreciated by all who
visit the island. Improvements have
also been in progress for the past two

President Charles Swift of the associa-
ton in the way of clearing the island
of underbrush and trimming up some
of the trees, which have resulted in in

time. Young Morton was hurrying to
get over the crossing before the All

his conclusion himself but it has leaked
out that few mornings since he went
to one of the local markets and upon
the request of his wife ordered a leg
of lamb sent up for dinner. and when
the dealer told him that they had nc
lamb that morning he remarked: "Oh

Will the punishment Stanley Ket-
chel says he is going to give Billy
Papke today in their fourth meeting,
mar the above face, or VIII KetcheFs
countenance be the worst sufferer?
The bout at Colma is scheduled for
twenty rounds, but in the light of
their previous meetings, it will hardly
go this far.
In spite of criticisms about his ex-
cess of weight, Stanley Ketchel states
that he will tip the scales at 1853
pounds by an easy margin when he
steps into the ring. He admits that he
has been far above the necessary to-
tai, but declares that he Is having no
trouble in reducing.
I'm going to rush Papke from the
start" he declared, "and l don't care
whether he knows it or not. It's my
best style of boxing and I can hold any
pace | set. All this talk about my not
being in the best Of shape is foolish.
Even If have been reducing too much
by taking hot steam baths, it must be
remembered that no two men can
train exactly alike and get the same
results. I'll bet that it takes twice the
work out of Papke to keep down to
weight that it does out Of me. l can
sweat off five pounds without hurting
myself 1t takes lot Of exercise for
Billy to do that
Ketchel is in good shape as far as
appearance goes. He is we'll sunburn-
ed by his work out of doors and his
training in the open air is thought to
have helped him in conditioning. He
looks rugged and strong, although a
trifie drawn from the sudden fashion
in which he has been cutting down
his weight.
Sporting writer's and followers of
boxing who have been visiting the
men at their camps say that Ketchel
shows greater speed than Papke, and
it IS largely on this account that the
hookmakers are holding him as such
a strong favorite. The layers of odds
think that he can rush in and sweep
Papke off his feet by hurricane at
tack

Inc Sox won by the score of to Z,
but the game failed to show any great
work by either side. Huddleston and

v1ctors, while Phoenix and Williams
served up the befuddlers for the
enemy. Rocky was the back stop for

up Broome, "and l mean to win to-
day.
Perry is favorite at to 1, but when
Broome drops him in the third round
and draws first blood in the seventh
the betting shifts to evens. Broome
now takes to talking to the champion
with an idea of getting him nervous
I'll take odds the boy ticks you,
without black eye! he shouts in
Perry's face in the fifteenth round.
The Slasher thoroughly aroused,
PUSHES in and grapples with his tor
mentor. With one hand free, he aims
blow, and Broome, timing it to
nicely, slips to the ground and receives
it when technically down.
There is nothing for the referee ia
do but disqualify Perry for fouling,
and to give the stakes and champions
ship to young Harry Broome.
The Slasher's Last Battle.
This is Perry's last battle but one
his final appearance in the ring being
on June 16, 1857, when he is again
defeated, this time by the rising Tom
Savers.
Perry dies suddenly on June Is,
1881, aged sixty-one years.
Harry Broome, the thirty-sixth cham
pion of the prize ring by virtue of his
defeat of the Slasher, defends the
title against Harry Orme on April IS,
1858, for stake of $1,250 a side. The
mill is a sterling exhibition of game
ness on the part of Orme, who dis
putes the issue for two hours and
eighteen minutes, divided into but
thirty-one rounds, before surrender
ing.
Broome next matches with Tom
Paddock, already whipped by Bendigo
and the Slasher. Overconfident of the
result, he enters the ring On May 10,
1856, in none too robust condition, and
is defeated in fifty-one rounds, lasting
one hour and three minutes. This is
Broome's last fight. He supports him
self as a caterer at race tracks I'M
til his death on November 2, 1865. aged
thirty-nine years.
Tom Paddock, having three times
tried for the highest honors in pug
ilism, finally has them in his grasp.
He is the thirty-seventh champion,
reigning from his defeat of Broome in
1856 to his defeat by Tom Savers in
June of 1858, during which interim he
fought no one. Death overtakes him
on June 80, 1868, in his thirty-ninth
year.
Next week: Tom Sayers, the mid
dleweight who became champion of
champions, the greatest English pug
Hist that ever lived.
