Since his disgraceful fiasco with old
Joe Thomas, Billy Papke, "the Illinois
Thunderbolt," has made frequent and
emphatic denials of any crookedness
about the bout that went-over the t1f-
teen rounds by mistake" Billy has
declared up and down that he will
show the California public that he
can fight, and fight on the square. He
picked Jim (Fireman Flynn as his
next opponent but the bout was called
off Then he made date with Jimmy
Howard, and Jimmy has just made it
known that he will not enter the ring
with the ''Thunderbolt." 1t looks as
though middleweights were little
leary of tackling the husky representa-
tive of the Papke family in his wrath.

Another method is that of Golfer
dams Either the dams are built in
side the ship, the holes patched and
the water pumped out or else they are
built all around the vessel and the
pumps set to work. AS it seems inn
possible 70 get at the hole in the
Maine. the second method would be
the one used, and l don't see how it
can be done. First you must get a
firm bottom to hold it on, and the rails
ers would have to drive the whole OF
that dam through that eighteen feet on
more Of mud and then not be certain
as to what they would find underneath.
The pressure at the depth to which
the Maine lies is neariy twelve pounds

foot OF the dam when the water was
pumped ont from inside it would be
subject TO a pressure Of about lips.

could not withstand It, and there is
apparently no way that braces can be
placed SO as 20 hold it,

RAISING OF
WARSHIP MAINE.
Noted Diver Claims II VIII Be
a StupendOus Job.
LIES IN AMASS OF STICKY MUD

Captain sorcho, Who Recovered One
Hundred and Thirty two Bodies From
the Warship sunken Many Feet In
Havana Harbor, Tells of the Diff
cuIties to Be Overcome.
They may be able to raise the
Maine. but it's going to be darn
tough job" said Captain Louis Sorcho,
the great deep sea diver, who was one
of the eight chosen by the United
States government to go down in the
wreck of that i'll fated man-of-war i'm
. mediately after it was blown up in
Havana harbor on Feb. 10, 1898.
Havana harbor has no cleansing
tide, merely d rise and fall 1t is like a
huge basin. with a big niche on the
side of the rim, through which the wa
ter comes in and runs out. Now, the
bottom of the haEbor, because of this,
is mass of mud. and as the refuse and
dirt Of the city are emptied here to a
great extent and there is no current to
carry the filth away the stuff settles at
the bottom. To judge how bad the
condition of the bottom of Havana har-
Dor is / call attention to the fact that
ships are not allowed to anchor there,
buoys being provided, for if boat
were to drop its mud hook when it was
pulled UP it would stir up such muss
that probably the way would be paved
for an epidemic.
''Just as soon as we We're dressed in
our divers suits and had made sure
of our air pumps we went over the
side and down into the BLACKLIST water
l have ever worked in during all the
years have been a diver.
In Mud to His Shoulders.
THE depth where the Maine lies is
thirty-one feet and the pressure Of
water to the square inch about twelve
pounds. AS soon as reached the bot
tom was up to the shoulders in that
awful sticky mud. 1t was impossible
to see anything in that water. Ev-
erything depended on the divers sense
of touch. Although we were equipped
with the submarine lights, they were
useless, and we abandoned these after
the first trip down. Our first duty was
to get the bodies, and most of these
were in the berth deck, forward. 1t
was an awful task. l believe / recov-
cred 132.
II will not attempt to say whether
the explosion was from the inside or
outside. but do know that everything
was pointing upward as if the force
was from directly underneath. 1t must
have been terrible, for things were
blown all out of shape.
Eve worked in the Maine nineteen
days, and during that time we noticed
that she sank several feet deeper in
the mud. So you can imagine how
much she has settled by this time. 1t
has been estimated that the vessel
rests in eighteen feet of mud, and it
is going to be job to lift the Maine
out Of it.
