Britt. manager of Stanley ketchel, also
was scheduled to arrive in San Fran
cisco last night, and therefore there is
little question that these two Will gel
together in a tall1fest. Whether it Will
amount to anything, as far as Papke
and Ketchel are concerned, remains "
be seen. Battling Nelson is being talked
of for the Elks date with FREDDIE
Welsh, but the Dane is none too Wiling
and he probably will name price for
his services that will be prohibitive
That is the latest method of duckine
the undesirable matches, and the Dur
able one has it down to a matter OF
science that is surprising.
Pitcher Franz Hosp is not only one
of the best twirlers in the coast league,
but he is also one of the most genial
bows who ever donned a baseball uni
form Hosp has forgotten more base
ball. young as he is, than many of the
swell headed players who roar at de-
cisions have ever learned. He is only
a youth but has more promise than
any other man, barring Koestner. in
the pitching department of the coast
ers. From his start in the game Franz
has made it a point never to roar at
verdict of the umpire. He some-
times protests If he thinks decision
is bad, but the indicator men will
tell you that Hosp's protests are smil-
ingly and quietly made, and he never
shows temper. There is more in this
control of temper in baseball than APP
pears on the surface. The swapping,
growing, kicking players seldom land
in the big leagues. 1t is the lads who
take their medicine and endeavor to
profit by it that climb into fast com
pany.
big Bill Burns most have almost
broken Comiskey's heart yesterday
when he lost that drilling fourteen
inning game with Detroit. Burns did
his first formal work since his trading
by Philadelphia to the White Sox in
exchange for Nick Altrock, Jiggs Don
ohue and our own Cravath. Comiskey
wanted the big, sleepy southpaw so
badly that he offered up a worn out
pitcher good first baseman, and one
of the fastest, snappiest, hitting play
ers he ever listed on his pay roll

mirers are Growing, and the Burns fol-
lowers are down hearted. But the end
is not yet.
You never can tell a fighter another
man is his master, at least when he
thinks he is talking for publication.
This is not new stuff. but it certainly
is interesting, dove-tailing so closely
with KetchePs declination to fight sam
Langford except on terms that would
give him all the best of it if he lost.
Stanley Ketchel, who saw last
Wednesdays fight between O'Brlen

one blow would be necessary to make
him hit the carpet for the count. No

that fight that l am a far better man

HE looks to me like a man who

breast by a foul ball in the sixth, and
as usual when the umpire is touched
the crowd howled with glee. The same
thing happened in the eighth, and again
the spectators found enjoyment over
the incident. Neither ball landed with
much force.
Jud Smith captured long foul away
out toward the north bleachers in the
eighth, making a difficult running
catch.
A truly pleasing spectacle was that
when Beall was called out on pitched
balls The quiet Chicagoan, instead of
turning and roaring like a bull over a
decision that was as a matter of fact
somewhat doubtful, merely made a
smiling remark to the umpire about
the wildness of the ball. Beall has
played, it is evident, in leagues where
the rowdy tactics are not permitted.
