kETCHEL AND PORKY
FLYNN BOX AT BOSTON

Boston, May ia real champion.
Stanley ketchel, head Of the white mid
dleweights, is carded for the May II
date at the Armory A. A, and the Mich
lgan Assassin will have no other op-
ponent than Porky Flynn, Boston's best
aspfrant for his crown. Probably Sam
Langford will be around just to issue a
challenge about then. After that six
round mix-up in Philadelphia perhaps
Stanley wouldn't care to go a longer
route of twelve rounds and take greater
chances with his reputation 1t might
be more agreeable to Sam also to go
the finish distance somewhere out on
the coast, where they have overwhelm-
ing houses
Matchmaker Billy Pierce has been
after Ketchel to box here at Boston's
big club, and the members were hank
ering for just such an opportunity to
gaze on the western whirlwind with the
heavyweight wallop, so the announce
ment of the match will be the big talk
for some time.
While Flynn doesn't appear to class
with such a wonder as KetcheI. on pa
per his record isn't SO bad. and he is
going better every time he gets in the
ring, and his cautious way of handling
himself facing dangerous man is good
reason to believe that he may prove a
surprise for his classy opponent

GREAT RACE MARE MASkETTE
BREAKS AQUEDUCT RECORD

Ed Curley, the eastern turf critic has
the following to say about the great
race run by Maskette in her first out
at Aqueduct:
Maskette. the peerless Disguise mare
belonging TO James R Keene, made her
debut as q four-year-old yesterday
afternoon In the fourth race at Aque-
duct, and celebrated the occasion by
a sensational victory. The grand racer
was forced TO travel at top speed all
through the journey. The pace she set
wes so terrific that she covered the
six and one-half furlongs in 1:1S flat,
which clips As of q second from the
track record.
Maskette stepped the first furlong in
OIL 2-5: the quarter in 0:24 AS, and the
three-quarters in iii is. For a first
start this performance was marvellous.
Dalmatian. the fast Ethelbeft colt
owned by Sam Hildreth, was the baby"
that forced Maskette to do her best.
Maskette led Dalmatian by a head for
the first half, but when they hit the
pole the Hildreth colt stuck his head
in front 1t was only for a flash. But
well SHOOK up Maskette and in a few
bounds she opened a gap of a length.

Dalmatian had a seven-pound pull in
