Z ILWAUKEE. Wis. oct 9.-BOxers
NE and their managers VIII never
- get over the habit Of trying TO
pad" records when publishing the
same. There are very few fighters who
have given out list Of their contests
who could honestly declare that the list
was correct
They seem to take it for granted that
the public never follows the dOings OF
the men Of the ring and that sport
writer's have not the time to compare
and make the necessary corrections.
This results in many arguments and
the record books are referred TO in or
der to decide such matters.
Even the record books are not always
correct for the reason that their COM
pliers have no means Of knowing eX-
actfy how the early fights-preliminary
bOuts-resultcd. In time the national
boxing organization. il IL is kept up.
vii endeavOr to keep records Of all
boxers, the same as is done in baseball,
and then there Will be little chance for
the managers and fighters to put over
the padded lists.
KeschcI's Record Wrong.

Edmonton, Alta, recently the latter
stated that Sanley Kechels record had
never been given out correctly not that
he did not have a splendid record. but
that il was got uD in a hurry and no
At that time Jerry Mccarthy was liv-
ing in Montana and was a fighter and
manager himself.
''Ketchel was a wonderful fighter"
said Jerry, and 1 always felt that his
correct record should be published No
one knew him better than myself. for

I several minor fights he had around
camp in which he scored knockouts-
