PAPKE MAKES SHORT
WORK OF HUGO KELLY
Illinois ThunderboIt Scores a
Knockout in First
Round.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 15.-Hugo
Kelly of Chicago was knocked out in
the first round by Billy Papke, the Illinois
Thunderbolt, at Calmo today in a bout
scheduled to go forty-five rounds. for
the middleweight championship. which
Stanley ketcheli surrendered some time
ago to become heavyweight. A large
crowd gathered at the ringside, expecting
to see long drawn-out battle, as both
men. were trained to the minute, and
the betting was even money. Ed Smith was
the referee, and both fighters made the
weight at the appointed time.
A preliminary bout. was over when
Kelly and Papke entered the ring and
received big. greeting. They looked
in splendid physical condition and evenly
matched. Both wore adhesive bandages
over their knuckles, which each examined
before the gloves were drawn on. 1t
was then 2:30 o'clock, and no time was
wasted in ringing the gong.
Kelly had won the toss and occupied
the southwest corner, with the sun at
his back, but before the fight began there
was howl from Papke, who wanted the
same corner, rather than have the sun
blaze directly into his eyes. The referee
finally settled the matter. and the struggle
began.
Papke opened with wild rush and
forced Kelly to the ropes, where the
Chicago man, blocking several terrific
swings for the head, came back with a
couple of hard body blows. Papke stuck
close. however. ripping in tremendous
punches, which had great power behind
them. Kelly retreated before this merci-
less onslaught. jabbing Papke in the
face with short hooks and jolts. Papke
finally got his man into corner and
put right and left hard to the jaw. These
blows were overpowering. and Kelly
dropped to the boards, while the referee
counted nine seconds.
when Kelly got up he was helplessly
groggy. He staggered blindly along one
side of the ring. clutching at the ropes.
Papke rushed in close, took deliberate
aim and then banked the Chicago man
that. nearly did the trick. This was
quickly followed by a left hook, which
landed squarely on the point of the jaw,
and Kelly fell like log, the back of his
head hitting the floor with a crash. 1t
was a clean knockout, for after ten sec
onds had been counted, Kelly was still
unconscious. He soon revived. however,
and asked what had happened. Papke
was declared the winner, of course, and
lenge ketchell, who stopped him in eleven
rounds last November, for the middle
weight title. Papke said that IL Ketchel
had really left the middIeweight class,
he would defend the title against ali
comerS.
1t was not chance blow that beat
Kelly. He was simply punched into SUBJ
mission by better man in every respect.
The shortness of the mill. however, did
did not last more than a minute and a
half

To the Members of the Seventeenth
General Assembly:
Gentlemen: The democratic party
for the first time in the history of
Colorado has been placed in power
in all of the branches of the state
government. We as its representa-
tives have been placed there under
certain pledges contained in our plat
form. The principles contained in
these pledges in the party's iudg-
ment as ratified by the people. are
essential to good government. If we
fail to perform the duties entrusted
to us by the people in an honest, di-
rect, inevasive manner. our party
may never again attain such an ad-
vantageous position Today is truly
the day of opportunity.
stated In my inaugural messa &c
to you that the pledges constituted a
contract with the people and should
be faithfully performed. Seveuty-six
days Of this session have been con
sumed by those who are evading or
trying to defeat the bills containing
these platform pledges. The conflict
is whether party pledges are TO be

upon which he secured an election

that he vote for these party meas

Especial 10 The sentinel. !

New York. March 23.-The arrival
of Hugh Mcintosh, who handled the
Jack Johnson-Tommy Burns fight in
Australia, has biven some interesting
facts regarding the prize fighting
business and has Stirred up the gossip
about Jim Jeffries taking the field
once again. Mcintosh says he took
in S132.500 in the Burns-Johnson
fight, of which Burns, the beaten
man, got six times the amount that
Johnson got, or 100000 for the
former and $4,000 for the latter. He
also cleared $4,000 for the moving
pictures. without what was realized
for them in England He is watch
ing Jeffries very closely, and doesn' t
feel certain that the ex-champion can
get in condition.
