Two months after this affair Papke
and ketchel met in return match,
and this time the assassin regained his
title by knocking out Papke in II
rounds. They met once more after
that, Papke losing a 20 round decision
the following July.
When Ketchel was shot dead on
December Is, 1910, the title revented to
Papke, who was one Of the strongest
claimants at the time. Billy lost sew
eral decisions after that, but still per-
sisted in his claim of the crown. When
he met Carpenter in 1912, the fight
was billed as for the middleweight
championship OF the world. Several
months later, Papke lost to Frank
Klaus on a foul in IS rounds. Billy
fought one more fight after that, the
Rowan mill, and then retired to the
seclusion Of his farm.
Whatever prompted Papke to return
is a question of debate. Some contend
that Bapke is IN need Of ready cash;
others believe Tom Jones' his former
manager has had his ear for a few
moments. LOquacious Tom can talk
enough in three minutes to convince
Papke he is still the greatest middle
weight extant.

when he colIides with Frank Moran

ris has improved somewhat from the
numbering, slow thinking Carl of sew
eral years ago. Only recently he took
"Gunboat" Smiths measure in ten
rounds. His showing convinced his
manager that Carl could defeat Moran.
Big Frank is to get a guarantee OF
$4,000 for this fight.
Moran has not been idling since his
defeat at the hands of Jess Willard.
Francois has been monologuing with
the pictures of the big scrap. and has
added many thousands to his income
since that affair. Moran can get ex-
tended booking. but $40, 900 looks
mighty tempting. for a mOrsel like
Morris, and he jumped at the offer.
Moran has decided TO LAY Off Will
lard for a return match until the
champion has fulfilled his thirty

! taken away from the champions of 1915
and that is that they are playing a
brand of baseball today that is as good
as that which won them the pennant a
year ago.
The Cubs have surprised. In the pre-
season outlook they were ranked in
the dark horse" class. Then came their
training camp battles with the Phillies
and their inglOriOus defeats. Right
then and there they we're shorn of the

The Dodgers haven't hit their stride
yet They have played in and out base
