Special Dispatch to The Star.
DENVER, Col, October 31.-Soldier of
fortune by instinct, fighter by nature. pu-
gilist by choice and middleweight cham
pion by right Of conquest-all this was
stanley Ketchel He was the typical pu-
silist Care-free. happy, an all-around
good fellow. the deceased pugilist boosted
following of friends as long as the
country is wide. and it will be many days
before the Michigan Assassin and his
ring achievements are erased by more re-
cent happenings in the squared circle.
Ketchel Is to be given credit for what
he accomplished, and that above big odds
He was handicapped at the start, left
home for the wilds Of the Montana cop
per country while a comparative youth
against the hardest element on the face
of the earth, and finally emerged a vic
tor.
The lad that first stepped into the pu-
gilistic limelight by battling the supposed
ly invincibie Joe Thomas to a draw was
not the same that at the age of sixteen
left his home at Grand Rapids, Mich.
to cast lots with the rough but happy-go-
lucky miners OF the northwest.
In the summer of 1907, July 4, to be
lying in his pain. lie dlun't even have
to seek IT, for the willy coast promoters
matched him with Joe Thomas In a scned-
ulod twenly-round bout. tni.ikins he. as
well a. the other scrapperssabout, might
be offered as a sacri.ice Tor tue wonderful
Thomas. Right here the worm turned.
For twenty rounds at Marysviile the
crowd about the ring saw tnelr iavo.ite
take a. much as he gave. For the first
time the great Thomas was meeting mis-
equal. After il was all over there was
a surprised bunch out In that country.
Who was IL, they asked, who came I'M
heralded To show thei. favorite q few
points in the art of fsticuffs? The drawn
battle simply would not swallow. for the
overconfident followers or Thomas insist
Cd that things were wrong and demand
ed another match.
Career Reads Like Novel.
His life reads like the everyday novel
He jumped into prominence with a single
punch, SO to speak, and was nipped in as
quick a manner. He was caught off his
guard-shot in the back-but IL he had
been able In any way to offer fight 1t is
more than an even bet that there would
have been a far different story to tell. AS
it was. Ketchel might have been living
now IL he had not taken the threats of
his slayer In fun.

THE WATERWAYS.

1t is gratifying to note that Perth
Amboy, officially, has at last realized
the Importance of the movement
now on foot in this country to i'm
prove the waterways. A report has
been submitted to the Board of AL
dermen, signed by the mayor, in
which is told some of the benefits OF
the gathering that was held recent
ly In Washington. The report ur-
ges the city to take a greater inter
est in this movement and see to 1T
that a larger delegation attends the
next congress.
This is what the EVENING NEWS
has agitated for a long time. Not SO
long ago a waterway conference was
held in Philadelphia. At~that meet
ing New Brunswick and other places
were well represented. but Perth
Amboy seemed to ignore the matter
entirely. At that time the EVEN
ING NEWS repeatedly called atten-
ton to the importance of the sub.
ject to be discussed, pointing out the
great interest that Perth Amboy has
in any Improvement of this kind.
Yet, the mayor and Board of Alder
men and all other local bodies, ig-
nored the meeting. If the report
which has just been submitted to the
| Board of Aldermen will be the
means of Increasing interest in wa
terways. and especially in the inn
progement of the local harbor, the
$50 appropriated toward the mayors
expenses to Washington viii be q
, good investment.
The EVENING NEWS has repeat
ed time and again that the future OF
this city depends on it's excellent wa
ter facilities. Anything done toward
improving the harbor means sc
much done for the advancement o.
Perth Amboy. There is every rea
son why this city should be takins
an active part in all Of these con
ferences and 1t is to be hoped tina.
In the future the mayor will not BIZ
alone in trips of the kind he has jus
taken.
