rounds and his weak fight against Jack
experts. who now insist that the once for
midable MichigAn pugIlist h nothing more
than an exploded phenomenon.
Ketchel received an oGer Of q $4,000
guarantee not long ago to meet landlord
In Frisco during the week Of the JeGries-
johnson affair. IAnGford already had
accepted the proposition and saw no reason
Why Kssehel should not attach his sigma
ture to tho articles. Hut Ketohel. seems.
sent word to rhs promoters that he could
not think OF tackling IAnsford In . nght
that involved 10 much wear and tear. In
q word. the Michigan fighter show ed that he
did not care to spend . month or more In
strict training. Be~ause Of this lack Of
energy. therefore, ketchel Ia roundly scored
ON the coast by 1ensons Who say he Il afraid
70 take chances in a bout Of more than
aix rounda and who nre1lict that unless he h
absolutely nc lAnGford will make short
work Of him when they come together IN

should happen to defeat JeHrie~. In that
event IAnwford would promptly challenge

post that amount Immediately to bind q
match. but Landlord does not believe he
will ever have . cTAck ~ Johnson for the
heaVyweight hamplonship because he feels
confident that Jefrriss will win the big nghi.
In expressing this belief IAnGford says
Johnson lacks real sameness: that u Jen

that no matter how clever Johnson's de-
