than the Kewanee lad since the days
Of Tommy Ryan. His style Of milling
was liked, as was his willingness to
scrap" while in the ring. Papke.
when struggling for the title few
years ago. never was known to stall.
Getting into the ring and slashipg toe
to toe with his opponent was his
chief hobby, and he made himself IA.
nous with his 'loop.de.loop" punch,
which he first used successfully
against Hugo Kelly In Milwaukee.
when he conquered the then crack
middleweight fighter.
He has not changed his style Of
boxing any. It Is said. This means
there IL trouble ahead for Eddie Nc.

themselves. Neither has met fight.

one. Neither can hit hard enough to
stop Papke. Ketchel was known a.

knocked out thirty.three men in forty.
six fights, and this included the best
sluggers Of his day. Papke. In his
bouts with the late champion, staged
a bitter and desperate fight and gave
as good as he received until he was
knocked out. He lost because Ketchel
carried the sitter punch.

The court held that the name OF q

this the court said:
"The object Of the ballot law Is to
afford to every legal voter the equal
right with every other legal voter to
cast his ballot freely for the candidate
Of his choice. II gives every candi.
date the opportunity to have his name
