Ketchel said he had broken his right hand in the sixth round and this assertion subse quently was verified. His left thumb also was dislocated. The decision of the ref eree was greeted with a mixture of cheers and hoots. Referee Roche after' the contest made the following statement: "Ketchel was the aggressor at all times. Furthermore he landed the cleaner and harder punches, and scored the only knockdown in the tenth although nearly everybody seems to think that Papke had slipped to the floor. There Is absolutely no question but Ketchel earned a clear-cut decision." As to the fight itself, the "Assassin," as Ketchel has been christened by ring followers, bade fair, literally, to live up to this name. He forced the fighting from the tap of the gong and with the exception of the third, enjoyed a clear lead in the first half of the battle. The feature of the fight was the extreme viclousness with which both men fought and the apparent hatred that apparently lurked behind every punch. Why lie Could Xot Knock Out. When seen in his dressing-room, Ket chel gave out this statement: "1 broke my right hand in the sixth round and later on the eighth round 1 dislocated my left thumb. But for these mishaps I would have made short work of Papke. I could not hit effectively when the opportunity came, particularly In the tenth round. I will be only too glad to give Papke another change." Kd Papke, brother and manager of the defeated pugilist, minced no words in showing his displeasure over the decision. He said that his brother should at Jeast have been given a draw. The defeated pugilist said nothing further than that he would right Ketchel at any time again. Willis Brltt said that unless Ketchel's hands improve, the champion will not be able to fight Jim Flynn in Los Angeles on July 14 next. Round 1. v,?'.0"1 0Pene1 UP with a. rlftht smash to inlfch;.
