AUSTRALIAN NzTO
FIGHT KETCHEL
Bill Lang "Hope Of White
Race" Will Fight in
New York City 1
Tonight.

New York, Aug. 12.-Bill Lang, the
Australian heavyweight champion who
has been touted s the "hope of the
white race" will be given a trial heat
tonight at the Fairmont Athletic Club,
with Stanley Ketchel as pacemaker
Whether Lang is real fighter or on.
ly another Australian lemon, will be
decided, as "the assassin" may be
trusted to bring out the yellow il any
lurk in Bits system. There has been
an unusual demand for seats and a
large and classy bunch of Broadway
lights will witness the scrap.
Hugh McIntoh, the Australian fight
promoter, Is Lang's backer and
brought the big Australian to this
country. Wilson Mizen is now hand
ling the affairs OF the middleweight
champion. Before leaving for this
country Lang lost a twenty-round de.
cision to Tommy Burns at Sydney
which would seem TO put him out of
the Johnson class. In his two pre-.
vious battles he stopped poor old Bob
Fitzsimmons in twelve rounds and
Boshter Bill Squires, the big joke, in
seven rounds In Ketchel he will
meet real live fighter, and the re.
suit remains TO be seen. The middle.
weight champ asserts that he is in
good condition, although some wiso
ones who claim to be- in the know
ledge that he is not the old assassin
who beat all the middleweights ex-
cept Langford.
Even II Lang makes good showing
against Ketcnol, IL is by no means GER
tain that he will be given a crack
at the heavyweight championship.
Ketchel was but child in the hands
of Johnson, ana, at that, johnson has
never let himself out. The fans OF
this country have had too many false
alarms of late, and II Lang should
make enough showing 20 attract the
attention Of Johnson, the fight would
have TO be pI'led off in Australia to
get enough o; a gate to make IL
profitable.

ception. The grouse shooting season
begins today, and thousands of gun.
ners are off for their shotoings in the
North, where the grouse are excep.
tionally plentiful this year.
There has been a great demand for
shooting preserves in Scotland this
year, and many wealthy American are
included among the sportsmen. The
Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe have
opened Floors Castle to large party
and will entertain lavishly during the
shooting season, as will many other
mobiles who are so fortunate as to own
estates in the grouse districts.
King George will go to Scotland
soon for the shooting, OF which he is
very fond, and for the first time will
abandon the role of paying guest. As
Prince of Wales, His Highness had
not the free use of the royal pre-
serves, but paid the sum of $4,000 a
year for his shooting privileges.
