Australian Expected to Give Stanley
Ketchell Hard Fight.

NEW YORK, August 6.-The ten-round
bout between Stanley Ketchell and Bill
Lang of Australia, scheduled at New
York August II. is attracting more thar
ordinary attention. Some Of the sport

Ketchell Those people are liable to be
fooled, for Lang is a great, big, young
fellow, weighing 1S5 pounds and strong
as a bull, with a considerable knowledge
of the boxing game. 1t will not be sur
prising If Lang should make Mr.. Ketchell
take the ten count. Ketchell has GER
