Stanley KetchelI 10 going to
spend the next 10 weeks In syste-
matte resting. He wants to ascer~
tain II he can come back Z He
is quoted as saying that II he dis
covers he Is "all in" he will quit
the ring and turn over his title to
Hugo Kelly, 'the best Of the msd-
dleweight CLAN"
Nice of Stanley. isn't It?
suppose it may be taken for
granted that Ketchell's 10 weeks
rest means 10 weeks away from
Broadway. Like many another
good man, Ketchell has q weakness
for things in skirts. He's like tho
man who falls for the ladies every
time"
But about Steve handing his title
to Hugo Kelly, with the assertion
that the Chicago wOp Ii the best
of the middleweight Giant" Ket-
chell may, perhaps believe this,
but he can't make anyone else
swallow 1t.
Notwithstanding some of the
things said anent our old side kick
Bill Papke, you have to admit that
when speaking of middleweights,
the "Thunderbolt" is the class. He
put on a raw thing with Joe
Thomas in San Francisco. for
which there is no excuse but Pap
Ike is the best legitimate middle
weight in the business today and
this goes for Ketchell. too.

should have had the decision in
that 2O-round thing at Colma July
5, last year, when Ketchell, beaten
to a standstill, and travelling on his
nerve alone, was given the decision
by Billy Roche-a decision SO bad
that it ended Roche's career as =
referee of big mills.
Papke and Ketchell have met
four times. Ketchell won the
first on a decision. The second
time he was knocked out In IL
rounds. Then he knocked out
Papke in 1 rounds. They met
again, and every man who sat at
the ringside knows Papke could
have won the fight at almost any
stage of the game had he~gone In
and finished his man. Ke.chell
wasn't fit to fight that day., so
Johnny Lawler has since told me.
but Papke fought carefully" and
although winning on the bit, was
robbed ii ever a fighter was.
| Papke has beaten Hugo Kelly
twice and drawn with. him twice.
He got one decision in 1908. and
knocked out the Chicagoan In ono
round in 1909.
ketchell met Kelly once. in San
Francisco, and put him to sleep In
three rounds. And in the face Of
the fact that Papke has defeated
Kelly and himself twice (although
once robbed of one decisi0n),
Ketchell declares he Is "thc best
of the middleweight clan"
Really, in the face of this sort OF
talk, l am almost ready to accept
Ketchell having contracted the
habits which led to the death OF
! that little prince. but most foolish
of managers. Willie Britt.
