MIDDLEWEIGHT PUGS
McGOrty, Papke, Klaus and Kelly
After Crown of the Late
Stanley KetcheI.

New York, Nov. Up to date
four ""pugs" have claimed the mid
dleweight championship because of
Stanley Ketchels association. They
are Ed. McGorty, Billy Papke, Frank
Klaus and Hugo Kelly.
Papke fought Ketchel four times
for the title and won at Los Angeles
two years ago. Moreover, he should
have won in their last battle. Billy
Roache, who refereed the battle,
stated that Ketchel's victory on that
occasion was due to the fact that
Papke quit.
1t was 20-round affair, and dur
ing the last two rounds Ketchel was
unable to raise his hands, and yet all
Papke did was to clinch and hold on
Had Papke mustered up courage TO
deliver any sort of blow in the last
two rounds, there is not the least
doubt that he would have scored a
knockout, as Ketchel was helpless.

weight, recently made his New York

REFUSE TO TELL PLOT
Victor Gillard Refused to Publish the
Plot of 1.-THE Thief"

Mr.. Fox, advance agent for the May
Roberts company, has been in this
city for the last few days arranging
for the initial production of "The
Thief, at the theater tonight. Sever
al days ago he wrote Mr.. Gillard,
ger of the organization, to furnish
manager of the company, to furnish
LEGATION. Mr.. Gillard on arriving
here today explained why he refused
to comply with this request. In his
judgment the playgoers would be de-
prived of the greatest enjoyment in
witnessing the play If they knew the
story before seeing it. A large part
of the success of this great prOduc
ton lies in the sudden transition
which keeps the audience guessing
what is to follow Many of the lines
are astounding in their force while in
tensely dramatic situations abound.
Miss Roberts is certain that the
production she will give tonight, by
the assistance of an augmented COM
pany of players will be such as to
make it the most popular thing Of the
kind which ever came into the North
west.
