TODAY is BIRTHDAY OF GREATEST
MIDDLEWEIGHT BOXER EVER BORN

Today is being celebrated the
birthday of a pugilistic martyr,
shot by a mailman who killed one
of the greatest-if not the great
-middieweigbts that ever lived.
That man was Stanley Ketchel. In
the era since then a thousand bat
tlers-aHd more-have tried to fill
his place; but each and every one
has failed.
Eetchel established a knockout
record that probably never will be
beaten. He fought So battles dur
ing his career-aRd won A of them
with sleep producing matches.
He feared no living man. When
he had cleared the 15S-pound di-
vision of foes, he went into the
heavyweight class and took on big
fellows as fast as they came. He
fought Jack Johnson when the
negro was at the crest of his ca
reer, and spotted him nearly so
pounds. For 10 rounds he gave
the giant coIoTed man a furious
battle. but after that Johnson su-
psFior weight turned the tide of
battle, and johnson won in the

RICHARD SURE
FANS WILL SEE
A REAL FIGHT
After Looking Over the Champion
At Toledo Tex Seems To
Be Satisfied.
GUARD WILLARD's GOAT.
Dempsey Is Ready for Bout Al
ready-Bat Nelson at Toledo
Would Referee Scrap.

Toledo. Ohio, June Sex Rick
ard. premier promoter, after sour
rying about Toledo today with Jess
Willard and looking the champion
over carefully meanwhile, late to-
day told us that he was much
pleased and asreeabIy surprised
over the way the Kansan shan
up. Tex had not seen Jess
many weeks and because q
champ was Z tribe late in landing
here, had become n bit doubtful
about the yarns from California
that said Willard was working
hard and would hit the battle
scene close to actual fighting con
dition.
Mono of us has seen the cham
pion stripped as yet or even in
gym toys. but he surely does i'm
press one favorably in his street
clothes. One Of the Sc Eeral of us
who saw him fight Frank Moran
in New York over three years ago
remarked thusly to him in the Ho-
tel Secor lobby this afternoon:
Jess, you look younger than you
fight"
q am getting younger every day
and fighting better" was the smil-
ing reply of the title holder.
Willard will have the edge on
Dempsey in that he will not live
where he trains. That is a better
situation because he will not have
curious folks hanging around his
place all day and disturbing his
peace OF mind. Such things do not
worry Dempsey, but they might
get the goat of the champion.
Do you know what willing Demp-
sey did today? Well, he only
boxed IL three-minute rounds this
morning, the exact route he will
have to traverse if he and Jess
stick the limit on the big holiday.
Big Bill Ttate, the Jamaica Kid
aud Terry Keller were the victims
in a merry swatting bee. Tate
went five rounds, Jamaica four and
Keller hit the mat during the con-
troversy, duo to well meant
punches for Dempsey was fighting
with the big mitts as though he
thought he was opposed to Will
lard.
Tate got his too, but being a ire
mendous gent he managed to keep
his feet, though in one round he
was feeling sick and anxiously
waiting the call of time as Demp-
sey chased him mercilessly from
pillar to post.
After it was over Manager Jack
Kearns said:
Dempsey IS ready right now to
fight q hundred rounds with Will
lard or anybody else. l worked
him the Il rounds today Just to dis
cover that much. He will not put
on n glove eEain until Saturday,
when he ought to come back as
strong as Il bull. That's my sys-
tem-worit EN- hard while they
are at It and then let up entirely
for Fl few days. He viii get an
other rest Of about a week before
he tapcrs off for the fight"
willard was asked tonight what
Rparring partners he intended to
use aside from Walter Monahan
and Jack TIempla. He thought he
would add just one more to the sta
BILE and let it so at that,
