A Foolish Boy With Big Heart, He

BY r. L. GOLDBERG.

NEW YORK. Oct. 22.-The untimely
and shocking ending OF Stanley Ketch-
els speedy career has cast veil OF
regret over the whole boxing world.
While this reckless. daredevil fighter
was not the kind OF a man 10 inspire
love in the hearts OF the public. still
there are those whose heartstrings
are strained by the sad death OF the
middleweight champion.
Whatever the public attitude may
have been toward Ketchel, or what.

have entertained for him, the end ot
this fighter records the passing OF one
OF the greatest fighters that ever ap-
peared in a public ring

a heart in him the size OF his hat.
His boyish impulsiyeness was prob.
ably responsible for his assassination.
He knew no such word as reason.
What he wanted he went after. ire
speotive OF the consequences.
With the proper handling he was as
harmless as kitten. The chief cause
OF his undoing was his love OF the
white lights. He was gripped body
and soul In the clutches OF the tender.
loin influence. In his boyish irrespon-
sible way he went the pace with his
eyes wide open and knowing that the
end was not lar of. He simply defied
fate and lost
We met Ketchel and Wilson Miner

the counter. where the desserts were
kept and set a portion of each kind
OF food before him on the table. As
we remember IL, he had stewed prunes

stewed rhubarb, raisin cake, sliced
peaches, banana fritters. stewed cher

OF every single portion.
He abused his constitution In these
foolish, boyish ways until his whole
system was undermined He threw
his money away Ketchel was never

closed as IL began. He gained a
pugilistic title probably quicker than
any man before him.

CHICAGO, Oct 22.-Fielder Jones,
who showed the White Sox to the top
OF the baseball heap. is here scribing
for Chicago paper. Fielder seems
to be hitting about 800 in the news
paper league, which was more than
he ever got for the hitless Sox.
Jones is still infested with the base

he says. Incidentally. slices OF first
division clubs are mighty scarce SO
long as profits keep on piling up As
they are now.
The proposition TO be manager OF
the st. Louis club will not be consid-
cred by him. Neither is 1t at all
likely that Pitcher Harry Howell ever
will boss the Browns. Magnate Hedges
is mighty sore on him, making him
one OF the goats over that funny Sun
day In St Louis when Lajoie got eight
hits in nine times at bat and turned
half the American league inside out.
Howell is here In conference with
Ban Johnson, president OF the Ameri'

ElhAGER CHANGE
WILL Be FINED
~ Zee Of Cuss Words Will Cost
Him Part Of Worlds Series
Earnings.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-"what Is more
worpsr than q rainy day." Answer
Two rainy days"
Il leaked copiously here on the sad
friday which always was an unlucky
time. and the noble athletes were not
able to perform upon the greensward,
because the greensward was largely In
3 LIQUID state and Chawles Murphy
didn't have enough bathing suits to go
around.
b The Athletics were a mighty sore
crowd because of yesterdays delay.
\ Inability to play lessened their
chances OF making the series four
\ straight. The day OF rest gave the
Cubs chance to get back upon their
feet and to collect their shattered con-
2dence. Had the teams contended on
Friday there is scarcely a doubt but
the Athletics would have made II four
\ a. q row, which would have been II
mighty achievement.
"A lot of things are occupying the
attention OF those interested In the
worlds series. The ticket scalptng
problem bobbed up here In all its ug-
Illness. Tickets were offered openly
~ $40 in the morning OF the first
game, and when rain commenced at
noon prices dropped to $40. A lot or
Dasteboards were sold at that price.
Chicago papers bawled the scalpers
out properly, but there seemed TO be
no way OF stopping them. The com
mission Is trying to devise way OF
eliminating this evil, but the problem
seems beyond solution.
R Probably the sorest lot OF fans In
the world we're some 100 who occu-
pied box seats regularly at the Cubs
parA curing the championship games.
They sent In requests for tickets
bright and early before the common
xabble got aboard. AS the seat sale
Was conducted by the commission en-
flrely separate from the Cubs man.
oCement the regular patrons got their
money back IL they were unfortunate
n having their envelopes at the bot
tom of the heap when the opening
started. These folks made an awful
howl. which, by the way, netted them
nothing.
Another thins with which the com
mission will have TO wrestle is how
much to fine Manager FRANK Chance
for hts outburst against Umpire Tom
Connolly In Thursdays contest.
Chance will be fined without doubt.
Connolly was down the right-field foul
line when Murphy hit homer into
the permanent stands. Chance, in
much less advantageous position. al
legged the ball went into the temper
ory seats. Connolly fastened in to
uzvuTo him II did not.
III you said that ball went into the
stands you are liar" shouted Chance
Depart from the game" shouted
Connolly who is strong for the ETH
Quette OF the contest.
lyon are A..........," and many
other things Chance replied.
Thereupon, the peerless leader
departed and let Archer play arst
base. the retirement coming before
the fans had a chance TO boot the
boss. Chance will be fined, undoubt-
eddy, as his outburst was uncalled for
and was much more violent than the
ordinary.

the Detroit Tigers against the Chi
cago Cubs two years ago. is authority
for the statement that Johnny King
did not try TO get the Tigers goat"
by kidding each one of the players as
he came TO the bat.
IL will be remember that during
the big games in 1908 a Chicago news
paper printed story to the effect
that King called Ty Cobb a bush
Lacquer and hurled so many sarcas-
tic remarks at the other Detroit play
ers that they were all badly ratified
and unnerved.
Killing is one of the finest fellows
in the world" declared Schaefer. HE
never said a word to anv Of Jennings
players as they came up to the bat.
