photographers there was $4,000 in
the house.
From the start the fight was
vicious. / saw Ketchen was out to
win in hurry. There was rough
work in every round, but not a foul,
according to Referee Jack WEIGH.
i remember we crashed together
in the fifth round in regular bear
hug and that | rushed him so hard
that we both fell through the ropes
onto the fight writer's.
From the fifth to the end it was
slug, maui, rush, clinch and hammer
away with short arm punches. Ketch-
ell packed a terrific wallop in both
hands and I knew l could stop any
man if I could get a punch to the
right place.
While watching for the big chance

tenth, for Ketchell hung a haynaker
on my jaw and almost went out,
but managed to stall until the bell.
IN the intermission my seconds

shape, but was groggy and stag

the shape l was in and leaped across
the ring like a tiger. with his terrible

against my head and that's all I re-

that he followed the rights with a left

TOOLEY SICNS;;
SMITHS MEN
FIRST IN LINE
Roster of Newark Club Now
compIete-Tooley's Con-
tract Is Number %.

Contract No. %. the hoodoo num-
Der. which had the fans guessing and
the Newark management perplexed
has been received by Manager Harry
Smith. Bert Tooley signed his con-
tract, just as it was predicted he
would two days ago in these columns,
and every man on the Tiger team is
now in the fold.
The Newark Club draws down the
blue ribbon for being the frst Inter
national League constituent to have
all of its men signed up for the season
Of 1913.
Harry Smith, who has been in com
munication with Tooley for week,
wired the news that Tooley had
signed his contract from Hot Springs
today. The Bengal leader has out
stripped all of his rival managers in
getting his men into line. A leader
who has had SO little trouble in sign
ing his men must have their faith and
respect. It speaks volumes for Smith
as a commander and attests clearly
his popularity with the players who
will represent Newark this year.
Tooley is perfectly satisfied and
contented to put in another season
with the Tigers, according to advices.
He denies that he wanted a SIX
months contract, as was reported.
The International League season
lasts five months and three days, and
it would be out of the question for
club in the Barrow league TO issue
civ 7oop+hSs contract
1t is very rare to hear of any minor
league ball player receiving a con-
tract for moro than one season, the
case of Beebe, in Buffalo, who re-
celved two-year contract, being ex-
ceptional.
The average minor league player
does not want a contract for more
than one season, the magnate figuring
the player might be. sold and the
player figuring he might advance to
faster company the following year.
Baseball magnates, as rule. do not
wish to sign bah players for long
terms, because it is difficult to sell
such players, as the magnate who
buys must assume the players con-
tract.
Bobby Vaughn had only one year
contract with the local club, but re-
fused to report to st. Paul unless
Manager Friel assumed his contract
at the same high figure he received
at Newark
Tooley apparently had no kick over
the figures on the document sent 10
him, it is said, but was too busy TO
sign and mail his contract to the
Tigers.

AL BENEDICT AND
SAILOR MORROW TO
BOX AT TROXLER'S

:. AL Benedict, the big heavyweight
pugilist, who was one of the top
notch white hopes a few years ago,
will endeavor to come back at the
Central Institute Monday night when
he will meet Sailor Morrow, of the
United States navy, in the main four
round bout. Benedict has been in
active training for the past few weeks
and believes that he can win by the
short route.
Morrow is tough customer, how
ever, and he will probably give Bene-
dict a battle all the way. Two other
star bouts have been arranged. Young
Russo, a local lad, will face Joe
Quinn, of Orange, and Fred Veter-
ing, of Hackensack, will box Young
Boyer, of Lyndhurst. Two semi
finals and five preliminary bouts will
precede these events.
