KETCHELL-KLAUs MILL DRAW.
Fight Six Hard Rounds 10 No De-
cisiOn.

cisiOn.
Pittsburg. March 3.-Before the largest
house that ever saw fight in Pennsyl-
vania west Of the Allegheny Mountains.
Stanley KetchelI and Frank Klaus fought
a sIx-round draw at Duquesne Garden to
night. The Michigan wonder had little
TO boast Of, since Klaus kept him busy
Both were putting at the end. 1t is hard
TO say whether a decision could have been
made. so evenly were the men matched
While Ketehell did more leading in
the fight. Klaus landed often and hard,
and there was time when Ketcheu was
just holding on.
The first round was rather cautious
The second was devoted to mitigating
The third was a continuation OF the rough
mitigating. The fourth saw Ketchell go
down. He slipped on getting away from
Klaus
The fifth round belonged much TO the
Pittsburg fighter. Ketchell looked tired
and was forced TO clinch. The sixth round
found the Michigan wonder back with a
dash TO try and put the Pittsburg man
out His heavy left was tried again and
again. but he was not able to land it ef-
fectively. The sixth ended with both
fighting viciously.

FOTdham administered a decisive trim

swapping the Hnltoppers under a shower
Of hard drives. and coming away with

The visitors administered one of The
worst drubbings in the history of George
town. and the way the New Workers

Georgetown Hitehing stat about the YARD
was enough 30 remind one forcefully OF

Seven home runs were made. four OF
them by the visitors and three by the
boys from across the creek. Fordham
annexed eighteen safe drives off the COM
bined deliveries Of Balzer. Wymard. Elan
merry. and Murphy and these counted for
a total of thirty-hve bases.
Georgetown could do nothing with the
visiting twirlers. except in three rounds,
and. as a consequence. the Hintoppers
soon lost heart, and 1t only remained for
the Fordham boys to see how many
tallies they could make.
Balzer started off for Georgetown. but
he was given terrific bombardment and
was Wild besides. so the coach yanked
him out in a hurry and sent in Wymard
to finish the second inning. At tals stage

George Mcbride tells a good story on
Hovlik as follows: When the pitcher came
on from Peoria he met Manager Can
tillon and the players in New York. Sit
ting on the bench during the game. he
saw the New Workers drive several VI
ciOus liners at Charley Smith. who was
pitching. and the balls whizzed past
Smith like a rife shot.
''Do they hit EN- like that in this
league?" Hovlik said TO Cantillon.
do they" replied Joe. You should
see the Detroit Tigers slam EN- back at
a pitcher. This is nothing compared to
what you will get later"
Me for Peoria" Hovlik said. I'm not
strong enough for this big league stuff"
Hovlik's wish was granted. for when
che Nationals reached Chicago the pitcher
was sent back 10 finish out the season
with his old club. as Cantillon believed
he needed little more seasoning.

JOHNSON IN TOMBS
Negro Fighter Spends Two
Hours in Gotham Jail.

New York, March 23.-Jack Johnson,
the actor and pugilist. ran afoul of Judge
Mulqueen in General Sessions to-day. and
as a result loitered in the Tombs for a
| time. Because OF the wrath which he
brought down upon himself at the hands
of the court. his bail OF $500. under
which he has been allowed to continue
his theatrical engagements until such
time as the court calendar took to swing
around to his name, was raised to 5000,
and 1t was q matter OF little time be-
| fore the amount was raised.
| The whole trouble lay In what looked
to Johnson. at first blush Ike good luck.
He was up on q charge Of assaulting
Norman Pinder. another negro. The John
son case was the first on the calendar.
When his name was called and he step
ped forward TO answer. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Delehanty told the court
that his men had been unable 10 find
Pinder, the complainant, or the three or
| four other States witnesses OF the al
legged assault
It was then that Judge Mulqueen rose
up. and metaphorioally speaking, smote
the big and smiling negro.
The court understands and believes, -
said the judge, that the complaining
witness and the other Witnesses under
subpoena for the State In this case have
been lured from the jurisdiction Of the
court 1 doubt the defendants good faith
in asking for a continuance TO this date.
Therefore I shall hold this defendant in
5000 bail until the witnesses can be
brought here. 1 also shall issue a bench
warrant for Pinder."
Johnson Takes Hand I'm Talk.
It al happened quickly, but the negro
grasped the sense of it and saw that
things we're going much. wrong He put
his elbow against Nugent and showed the
Police Court orator to one side. Then,
getting the ear of the court, the cham
pion fighter said that he did not think his
bail ought TO be increased.
''Why, your honor" he said, IT broke
my vaudeville dates in st. Louis and
Kansas City to get here. I don't know
anything about this here Pinder getting
away-I don't know nothin' bout him no.
how. and he's got nothin' on me-"
Nugent took a hand at this point, and
he and Johnson talked at the same time.
until Judge MulQueen raped for order
and said it had all been fixed-it was
S 900 or the Tombs. Whereupon a court
officer led Johnson away. Nugent was
sure it wouldn't take him long to get
the necessary bond, so Johnson was
taken to the detention pen in the Crimi-
nal Courts building.
The judge recalled the prisoners petit
ton Of the morning. and said that he
would accept the 5000 cash bail offered
at that time.
Il made that offer this morning, your
honor" Johnson said, "and 1 had the
money in my clothes to back it up. But
since then I have had to pay some law
yers fees and one thing and another.
and I have just a little over $500 left.
Won't you reduce the bail to s.. 500 cash?"
The judge talked the matter over with
the district attorney. and finally an
nounced that he would accept the bond
offered temporarily - until tomorrow
morning. and adjourned the case until
that time. johnson was told to be ready
with 5000 in cash then
