The criticism by 'those who have
made exhaustive trials Of the short
Lee.Enfield rife, now in use In the
British army. is that It is too short to
consume the gases produced by the
slow.burning powders which alone can
be safely used with the Lee brcech'
action. Also, the fiat trajectory pro,
duced by the high muzzle velocity
greatly increases the point blank
range and the area Of country which a
body of troops can cover with their
fire, but this can only be obtained by
using the pointed bullet. "The use OF
this bullet" says the United Service
Gazette, "can only be effected by al
tGring the service rife In such a way
that upto-date ammunition can be
fired. This would mean now brcech
action, deeper chamber, and longer
magazine"

KETCHELL NOT AFRAID
OF HIS PAPKE FIGHT
NesIects His Ira. nihs-Thinks That
Billy Will Be Easily Disposed.
of-Latter Looks to Be in
Good Condition.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2s.-The ar
rival here of Stanley Ketchel, who
came directly from New York with
his manager, Willis Britt, caused quite
a commotion and not since the days of
John L. Sullivan has a fighter received
such a reception on his arrival as the
one accorded to the middleweight
champion. More than thousand local
sporting men were on hand at the ferry
to greet him. A tally-ho was waiting
for him, and the champion mounted the
vehicle and drove the four-horse team
up through the principal streets here
While Ketchel is right in the lime
light, Papke is remaining in obscurity
He is training and not saying much
However, to his friends he is express
ing his confidence in winning the COM
ing battle. The Kewanee fighter is
looking better than ever If looks
count he has it on Ketchel. The latter
does not look to have the rosy COM
plexion which he possessed when he
was last seen in the ring here. His
skin has taken on sallow appearance,
and many stories of the champions
habits in the east have preceded him.
but these rumors have been heard
about Ketchel many times before,
though he has always showed UP to
advantage in the ring.
The report that Ketchel uses drugs
is still heard, but nobody seems to be
able to verify it. It is known, however,
that he is high flier and hits the high
places.
ketcheI Neglects Training.
He had hardly landed in town when
he went out to the garage where his
automobile has been since he left here
and had it oiled up and went out for
a spin Ketchel is extremely confident
that he will beat Papke, but he may
go too far and allow his confidence to
get the better of his judgment by hold
ing Papke too cheaply and neglect his
training The time for the fight is but
a short time off, but Ketchel made no
hurry to take up his training work.
While it looks that Papke will be a
to 1 outsider, his improved looks will
probably get many piker to nibble
on the short ender. The big bettors
will certainly go to the champion. AL

Young Corbett, who started the
sporting world a number of years ago
by knocking out the terrible Terry Nc

championship, arrived from the east
a few days ago after an absence OF
four years. The little Denverite looks

If the little Denverite is successful
in his bout with Frayne, it will do a

Freddy Welsh a tough fight in New

want to make any announcements just
now, but in the event that he is sue
cessful with Papke he will have
something to say to the promoters OF

.FR|SK CRAWLS UP
IN BATTING LIST
Seattle Sluaeer and Bennett Are Both
Over the Three Hundred Mark
Seattle Team is Batting Well
This Year.

The Improvement Of Emil F'risk, OF
Seattle. in batting has been the most
noticeable change in the Northwestern
League batting records of the last
week. The relegation of Capt. Bob
James, of the Indians, to class un-
der the $50 men is another distressing
feature-for Spokane, for James hit
ting has really been very timely CT
late, so what's the difference what his
average is?
James Record Is 207.
Bennett. of Seattle, has passed
Coorey as the leagues leading run
getter. although Little Phil retains his
rank as the foremost base-swiper.
Capt Lynch, of Seattle, has picked up
in his batting during the last week
and is again a 800 man, and Magee
moved up from .24O to .267. Garry, OF
Portland, and Swain, Of Aberdeen,
are steadily coming up.
Frisk is the leading slugger, with
Capron next, then Clynes and Lynch.
In sacrifice hitting, Altman has gained
in the last week, but has not quite
caught up with Kippert.
Seattle's team average has moved
UP from .249 to .255 in the week.
Lynch's men are "a runs ahead OF
Spokane, their nearest rivals, in 90
games. which shows something of the
proves of the Seattle scoring ma
chine. Seattle has scored almost twice
the number of runs as Vancouver,
which recently took the league leaders
to trouncing, five out of seven.
In proportion to the number OF their
hits, Spokane and Portland are really
ahead Of Seattle in point Of long hit
ting and both far ahead of Lynchs
men in base running and sacrifice hit
ting. All this, however. must mean
that the Seattle men are hitting-when
hits mean runs-oftener than their ~
walls.

A Double Wallop.


Cobb secured his first hit in the big
league from Jack Chesbro 1t was a
two base wallop, and from then on
went along and bounced hit after hit
from his bat against all kinds of pitch
ing
Cobb on the ball field appears to
be a fellow the average fan thinks is
"sWell headed" He isn't. He is only one
Of those high strung nervous fellows
He acts like young race horse going
to the post When he comes to the
plat he can be seen swinging two or
three bats and oancing around. He
can't Wait for the ball to come over.
On the bases he has beat it around to
third base from first many a time on
a sacrifice.
Off the field his teammates and
other ball layers say he is o. K, and
that one co 1ldn't meet better fellow.
His teammates say that Cobb would
play ball if he had all the money
that was made. He loves the game
Most players are not in the game for
the fun of it and because they like it,
as it's a business with them; but
Cobb would be playing if he didn't get
anything
Ball players have seen him run
bases and pronounced him crazy. but
it would be a great thing to have about
nine crazy men Alike him on any club.
Sam Crawford is classed by some
baseball managers as being a better
man to have on ball club.
