STANLEY KETCHEL
DEFEATS SMITH

New York. June 10.-Stanley Ketchel
midway in the fifth round of a scheduled
10-round bout at the National Sporting
club tonight by a right swing to the jaw.
1t was rough going all the way and
both men were guilty of holding, al
though under the referees announcement
they were allowed to fight with one naad
free in the clinches.
From beginning to end it was one con-
tinuous series of clinches with Ketehel
ripping in upper cuts that Jared Smith to
his toes whenever he could tear loose an
opening.
Smith had a shade the better at the
end of the first, although he slipped to
the floor heavily in avoiding an uppercut.
Ketchel landed heavily with lefts to
the stomach during the second round, but
Smith was quick to counter with his share
of body blows.
Just before the bell rang Ketchel took
lead with right and left to head.
In the third Ketchel dug in heavily
with vicious heavy uppercuts through
Smiths guard and had him dazed at the
bell.
Smith staggered Ketchel with two left
hooks to the jaw in the fourth, but for
the remainder of the round Ketchel out
fought his man.
In the fifth Ketchel forced his man to
the ropes. AS they broke at the referees
command and took the center of the ring
Ketchel met Smith with right swing
that sounded like cracking in the head of
a barrel. Down went Smith and he was
still squirming on the floor when Ketchel
vaulted over the ropes as fresh as when
he crawled under them.
Ketchel was never in distress and never
worried. Smith made game fight but

M'CAA NOT A CANDIDATE

Admission, June 0-(Special.)-The race
for the office of Mayor of Admission now
lies between DR.. j. L. Wikle, mayor in
eumbent, and DR.. R. H. Stickney, who
announced as a candidate in opposition
to DR.. Wikle this afternoon, Capt w.
L. McCaa who has been considered as
a probable candidate for some time,
having stated this evening that he will
hot be in the race.
While 1t has been known all along that
Mayor Wil1le would have opposition in
his race for reelection, it was not gem
orally believed that DR.. Stickney would
be the man to make the race against
him. DR.. Stickney stated this afternoon
In an interview, however. that he has
been considering the question for some
time. When asked what his platform
would be, he said:
TO carry out the laws as they are
laid down In the code and to do all that
Is within my power to promote the best
interests of Admission. My administration
would be conservative, and there is no
particular plank in the platform on which
l will rum
DR. Stickney served about eight years
on the city council under the administra-
tons of James Noble and O. H. Hender-
son. He was for 10 years a member of
the city board of education being chair
man of the executive committee of that
body, and he has also served several
times as chairman of the city execu-
tive committee of the democratic party
subject to which he will make his race.
Like DR.. Wikle, he is a pioneer drug
gist.
When asked il the announcement of
DR.. Stickney would place him In a posi-
ton to make a definite statement Captain
McCaa said: you can say for me that
| have never seriously considered the
question of making the race, although
many of my friends have insisted that
l become a candidate"
In the absence of a chairman of the
city executive committee it is said that
S. VIII John, secretary, who spent to-
day in Birmingham, will call that body
to order at an early date to prepare for
a municipal primary, which must be
held 80 days before the general election
on September IT.
Inc next Office tnat is uppermost in
the minds of the people in connection
with municipal politics is that of presi-
dent of the city council Captain Nc
Caa now holds this position. and in view
of his announcement that he would not
run for mayor 1t was mentioned that
he might be a candidate for reelection
to that office. He did not mention 1t
In his interview however and an effort
TO locate him again was fruitless. j. H.
Edmondson, the other man mentioned for
this office, says he will not run If Cap
tain McCaa announces, and that he may

John l., Sullivan was the originator OF
