will likely handle 1t. Both fighters will
leave tonight for Reno. where they will
establish training quarters.
No mention has been made as to
What weight the men will meet at, but
Ketchel has already said that he will
fight at catch weights, and they will
likely meet under those conditions, as
the time for battle is only W weeks
off.

fight, and 1t is expected that there will
be almost as much interest centered on
his card as there will be on the heavy
