The news from New York that
Ketchel had accepted Coffroth's Of

circles. Hester saw Woodman and
conferred with him until past mid
night.
Both promoters claim to have
agreements with the fighters and
each AYERS that he has forwarded

Coffroth is SO confident of getting
the match and the permit that he
has posted $4,000 as forfeit that
he will pull off the fight July 2.
Hester and Coffroth are doing lot
of hustling today, as the Point
Richmond people to whom the per-
NIT was originally issued, will hold
a meeting tonight to finally dispose
of it.
The permit, they say, has not
been assigned or disposed of. Hes

it safely in his pocket and that
there was no question about his
ability to stage a battle at Point
Richmond on the Saturday preced-
ing the big fight. In fact, he de-
clared emphatically, that if fight

BATE RlES

Fielding errors and the wildness
of Lefty" Miller of the Beaver herd
gave the Indians much aid in win
ming victory yesterday afternoon.
No fan is willing to admit even at
that, though, that the Vancouver
bunch could have defeated the In
dams with the class in which the
home team was playing. Al Bonner,
the country lad who was picked up
in the same vicinity that Bob
Brown found Lefty" Gregg for the
Indians last year, pitched a superb
game of ball up to the sixth inning.
No other than Breen, Vancou-
ver's fast little third baseman,
seemed capable of connecting safe
ly with his offerings. He had the
ball fairly smoking as he heaved
it over the crookstone, and the best
the most of them could do, if they
hit it at all, was to tap infantile
pop-ups to the infield. Breen con-
nected safely in the first inning,
but died at second attempting to
steal.
In the sixth inning, Bonner made
the mistake of walking Swain.
Breen, next up, clouted out two
Dagger, scoring him, but that ended
the Beavers activities till the
eighth inning, when Bonner weak
ened perceptibly and allowed four
hits in a row, which developed the
Beavers second and last run of the
game.
Fans had much fault to find with
Umpire Wright again yesterday,
though the decision in question was
given in favor of the home team,
when Ostdiek slid into the plate a
yard late, it seemed to the fans, but
Wright allowed the score. Miller,
despite his wildness, was about as
hard to hit as any of them, and for
while toward the last when the
Vancouverites began to hammer
Bonner, it was felt that another
spectacular rally and counterrally
like that of the day before was at
hand. The score:

"O'Kelly hasn't wrestled long
enough to be muscle bound. He has
improved wonderfully since I got
hold of him and has honestly sur
prised me-" continued Ryan.
LET me give this big fellow a
little more coaching and then I'll
turn him loose among so,ne good
second raters, to give him the act
ual experience he will need to give
him confidence.
Just stick pin in this little tip
