The Highlandersr landed, Mckee and

This time Vernon, Cal, was the sceen. of the. battle, and Sept T. 1908 was the date. This was Tom ss nc Carey's l arena. TRe f11fddieweight title now clearly rested gbetWeent Papke and KetcheI, and the victor could rightfully declare his right to it. Tens of thousands Of dollars were wagered on the result.

AL KETCHEL IS

Majority of New York Writers Say s Johnny Lore Outpointed Him.

Al Ketchel of this city fought Johnny Lore in New York last night and made a good showing. According to. the majority of the New York writers he lost by small margin. Here are some of the New York notices: (Anerican)
 Z Johnny Lore had to fight his best to beat a newcomer, Young KetcheI The namesake of the great Steve is a likely lad He has a good WalIop and plenty of aggressiveness. Johnny made a great squirt III the last half of the bout and had every advanta ge to be entitled to win.
 CFimes1 Young .Ketohel14 of Bridgeport out pointed Johnny Lore of New York in each of the first six rounds, and in the seventh he fell a victim to an injury such as Branign got later. He slowed up considerable after the eye was in jured and Lore was able to even mat ters in the last four rounds.
 (World)
 Johnny Lore of New York wore down Young Ketchel of Bridgeport in the first ten-round bout of the night and earned the honors by a small mar gin It was a hard battle Ketchell had the better of the early sessions. but Lore's great endurance enabled him to turn the tables on his adver- Sary.

YOUNG JACK .O'BRIEA
 DEFEATS YOUNG BROWN

Young Jack O'Brien was too fast and clever for Young Brown Of the East Side in their ten-round bout in the St. Nicholas Rink last night Tn a longer bout the sturdy East Slider almost certainly would slow down and get the eighteen -year-old brother of Philadelphia Jack In a ten-round go, however, Young Brown showed last night that he would have to bow before the superior speed and clever ness of the Quaker boy, for O'Brien
 was so wonderfully fast with both feet. and hands that at times the East Slider was made to look like a novice. : At long range O'BrieE danced around the New Yorker, stinging him with iwasplike left jabs. angering him with hooks uppercuts, crosses and every kind of punch delivered from all an gles. In a clinch OBrien wound his long arms snakelike about his oppo- .nent and robbed the East Slider of a chance. to do any inhghting. Brown
 rushed, only to be met with vo1leys of singing lefts and rights or to fan the empty air and find O'Rrien floating like a will-o'- wisp at the other side of the ring
