WHY FIRED CLARKE WINS.
Pittsburg Manager Always on the
Square With His PLAYERS.

Because Fred Clarke is a Kansas
ranch owner with $50 acres of good
Cowley county land near Udal, and Il
country home with all the convenfences
of city, stories of him are always
especially interesting to Kansas folk.
Here is one Jack Ryder tells in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer:

manager of the champion Pirates, is so
successful in handling his club. is that
he is always on the level with his play
ers- Clarke is a grand ball player him
self and q man of sterling character, in

cellent qualities, but perhaps the most
important of all is his absolute fairness

San Francisco, Oct. 14.-Seats for
the championship match at the Mis-
sion street arena on Saturday between
Jack johnson and Stanley Ketchel
were placed on sale this morning.
With the exception of the work which
they will do tomorrow for the moving
picture men, both fighters have quit
strenuous training and from now on
will take only the exercise necessary to
keep them in perfect trim.
Ketchel weighs IFS pound; and his
conditioners claim that not an ounce
of it is superfiuous. Both seem to
have realized the Importance of the
match and neither of them has omit
ted anything to put him in the best
possible condition for fierce battle.
Johnson has reduced his weight by
twelve pounds or more and will weigh
in at 1877 pounds, the figure at which
he fought Burns in Australia.
The betting still remains at odds of
10 to 4 with Johnson on the long end.
