JEM DR|SCOLL
STRICKEN IN
LONDON
Clever Old Boxer Paying
Price for Wartime
Hardships.

Jem Driscoll, one of the clever
est boxers ever turned out in Eng
land and well known in the United
States to the followers of the box
ing game Of fifteen years ago, is
critically i'll in a hospital in Lon
don. During the war Jem worked
like a Trojan in the soldiers camps
and at the front, and no doubt his
present trouble is due somewhat
to what he underwent then.
He was operated on a few weeks
ago for stomach trouble, but seemed
to gain slowly and many of his
friends have despaired of his re-
covery.
Driscoll is now forty.three years
old, but despite his advanced age he
engaged in boxing matches a year
ago. He is one of the very few
boxers who were able to outpoint
Abe Attell when the latter was at
his best, and when Abe was in his
prime he was almost unbeatable
at least by men of his own weight
Jem has always been a popular
boxer in the old country and in
the States, and his many friends
on both sides of the big pond are
pulling hard for his recovery.

''ESK|E" CLARK
GETSA. B. At
HARVARD
Gritty Alaskan, Star on Foot
ball Field, Wins High
Scholastic Honors.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. Nv.
"Eskie" Clark, the clever center OF
the Harvard football team, left to-
day for Seattle to spend six weeks
with his little family, after ringing
up a magma cum laude" in his
studies and finishing his college ca
reer in three and a half years.
Clark came out of the wilds OF
Alaska about five years ago to enter
Exeter Academy, where he spent
one year, and then came to Harvard.
He was regular center on the fresh
man football eleven, but war broke
into his program of study.
He returned to Cambridge, and in
his junior year went out for the
eleven, and after short sojourn on
the scrubs was made fifth string
center on the varsity. Clark 8
weight of 1877 pounds was against
him, it was believed, in the fight to
snap the ball back, but by the time
of the Princeton game he was on
the regular job, which he held later
against Yale. Again the past season
he was the regular center, and might
have had good chance for mention
on All-AmeriCan teams had injury
not prevented him from playing a
great deal of the season. Last year
he was a member of the track team,
putting the shot.
The high honors Clark received in
his studies this week was for work
in American history, government
and economics. They cap his bril-
liant career at Harvard, for he has
been working his way through col.
lege, in addition to supporting a wife
and two-year-old baby girl
Clark is going to his home in
Seattle for d short rest, and after
ward will return to Cambridge,
bringing his family back with him.
He is a member of the class day
committee Of the senior class and
will be back in June to do his part
toward making commencement week
a success. Next fall he hopes to do
graduate study at Harvard either in
law or business administration.

Pennock's record last season
was not an impressive one
Neither in the average of hits

in his percentage of games won

Yankees can provide, and tight

improve him.
Pennock is about twenty-nine
years old. He was developed by
Connie Mack and went to the
Red Sox in the big 100000 deal
made by Frazee and Mack in
1918. He is tall and rangy and
when not started too often should
be a consistent winner. Bal

ROBERTSON To
STICK WITH
SOX
Perfect Game Pitcher Expected
to Pass Up Liberal
Racine Offer.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-While it 10
understood Charley Perfect Game"
Robertson, of the White Sox, has
received an offer to join the Racine
club, of the Midwest League, at a
large figure, covering period Of
three years, there seems to be no
worrying about it at Comiskey Park.
The report is that Racine is will
ing to give the Sox star $4,000 for
three years. The pitcher has been
wintering here in Chicago and has
recovered from his injury received
last July, when a small bone of his
right arm was fractured. He Is ex-
pected to go South with the other
pitchers.
When Sox battery men leave for
Marlin, Tex, late this month, it is
probable that Shortstop Ernie john
son will be among the number. He
was taken sick last spring and
wants to get South as soon as pos
sible.

GOLF PROS GET
ONLY FAIR
SALARIES
Sarazen, Hagen, Barnes, and
Hutch Alone Go Into Five
Figures.

Golf professionals are commonly
supposed to rank among the highest
paid professionals in sport, but such
is not the case. A select few, like
Sarazen, Hagen. Barnes, and
Hutchinson annually amass five
figure salaries, but the great ma
jority are lucky to get as much as
$4,000 a year.
John Black, the Pacific coast
grandfather" who finished second
in the United States open champion
ship at Skokie last year, is paid S45
a month by his club. OF course, his
sales in the golf shop swells this
sum considerably, but still $40 per
nensation for a player expert enough
to finish second in a tournament en-
bracing the greatest players OF the
country.

The chances are that Dempsey
and Willard will fight in June at
Boyle's Thirty Acres, and you'll
hear no more about the heavy
weight championship until the
next summer.
Let's figure the thing out.
Two years ago, December IA.
1920, Dempsey went through a
waltz here with Brittle Bill Bren-
nan. At that time tip went out
that Dempsey had agreed to fight
Jess Willard the following March.
The tip was right, because the
thing was as good as settled.
Well, the ballyhoo went out for
the Dempsey Brennan thing.
Weeks and weeks went by with
the papers full of chatter. The
dance came off. The people tired
of BIG FIGHTS, and the Willard
match went by the wayside.
A bit later the Carpenter
Dempsey thing was put out as a
feeler. The public was ready for
another, and in July, 1921, that
GRAND AND GLORIOUS BUST
WAS PULLED.
The public was fed up on big
fights after that and Dempsey
hasn't appeared since.
NOW they're all hoped up for
another.
By the time they get this Will
ard-Dempsey bout digested they
won't want to hear of Dempsey
for another six months or so.
Harry Wills will still be HOLD
ING THE BAG.
See if we're right.

Only one game was close. Rosen-

their hit in the pinch brought vic

The Terminals shot a total of

same corner in the full bloom OF
health and Vigor. He had then con-
sidered himself invincible, SO had
the public, and 1000 Threats had
cheered his entrance. Now these
same people shouted for the new
champion and all but forgot the ex.
istence, of the defeated boy.
Not since Jim Corbett stopped
John l.. Sullivan at New Orleans in
1892 has the Queensberry world re-
ceiyed such an unexpected jolt or
a repudiated 2-to-1 shot in the bet
ting, whipped Ketchel in each and
every one of the twelve rounds.
Papke knocked Ketchel down
eight times during the twelve
rounds of heart breaking milling.
Each time that he went to the
floor poor Ketchel was badly hurt
and was each time forced to take q
portion of the count.
Such an exhibition of desperate
gameness was seldom if ever seen
in a ring before. Five times in
the opening round he was knocked
to the blistering hot canvas floor.
The first knock-down was the re-
suit of a left drive to the chin.
Ketchel dropped as though q heavy
weight had struck him. He Topped
over on his hands and knees ana
he stared into the faces of the
newspaper men, only three feet
distant. Not sign of recognition
passed over his face as he glared
at his friends; he was all but
knocked out with this one punch
and only staggered to his feet
through sheer fighting instinct.
The finish of the eleventh round
was a sensational affair. After un-
told punishment upon the pitiful OBJ
ject of humanity before him, Papke
knocked Ketchel clear through the
ropes of the ring on the south side
of the arena a few seconds before
the closing bell rang. Ketchel lay
on the edge of the platform mo-
tionless. His legs hung over the
arms dropped motionless by his
sides. He was dead to the world,
and but for the warning notes of
the bell Jeffries would have fin.
ished the count of ten over the
PROSTATE youth.
The minute of rest served to re
vive him to a nartial sense or his
position. but Stanley Ketchel's last
bolt had been shot. He was whip
ped beyond recall and nothing short
of a miracle from the sky could
have saved him. He tottered out.
on legs that would scarcely sup
port him, like an animal going to
it's slaughter.
Fully realizing the condition OF
the once peerless Ketchel, Papke
hi a
determined manner. A right cross
to Ketchel's unprotected jaw sent
him flat to the floor. He took the
count of eight and then staggered
blindly to his feet, only to receive
another right to the Jaw. dropping
him flat on his back. With every
ounce of strength gone, Ketchel
sta ggered to an upright position
just as Jeffries had finished the
count of ten, that meant a new
middleweight champion OF the world.

September 8, 1908:
Billy PapIxe! A new middle
weight star wrinkles brightly in
the pugiIistic sky this morning,
and a dazed and bewildered pub
lie is rubbing its head and trying
in a vague sort of way to realize
all that has happened.
Billy Papke, Kewanee's great lit
tie fighting man, shot his famous
"thunderbolt'' in the sun-Scorched
arena of the Jeffries Athletic Club
at Vernon yesterday afternoon. For
eleven rounds and part of the
twelfth he administered a terrible
beating to Stanley Ketchel. At the
end of that period of desperate
fighting, the hitherto uncomfortable
Ketchel lay in the middle OF the
ring thoroughly beaten but not dis.

shaver face the new world cham

his corner. One hour previous this
