Bobby Groom celebrated his return to

In the visitors to face him but 81
times and presenting them with a
meagre four hits, three of them so
scratchy they could hardly be called
Such. Groom was In phenomenal form
and the single time the Greeks rang
the bullseye was due more to accident
than to merit. Except for that one In
ning the second Groom had the Moles
completely at his mercy and not one
of them reached second base.
Only one error marred the playing
of the Beavers, and that occurred when
soaked Hoenn -en the -arm In
trying to throw him out at second on
an attempted steal. The ball careened
Into the center garden and Hogan was
?rompt to annex another base. While
acing the pitcher's box preparatory to
delivering the ball, Groom swung his
arms back and forth as is customary
and Hogan started to lead off. Groom
suddenly turned toward Ryan and let
the ball fly toward him. Hogan was
caught off the bag and commenced a
dodging stunt between Ryan and Mad
den. He finally succeeded in getting
back to Ryan's station when Mndden
heaved the ball over Buddy's head.. But
Umpire Perrine butted Into the cere
monies and ordered Hogan to walk
cross the plate, for a score, on the
ground uiat Uroom had balked. Very
few had seen the balk and the most
Innocent of all was Groom. Bobbv had
to have Bullion give a demonstration,
which his umpness did.

MEAT FOR ALBANY
(Special Dlapateh to Tbe Journal.)
Albany, Or., July 25. In a game of
baseball played between the Alco Base
ball club of this city and the Chicago
Ladles' team on the Albany college cam
pus last evening, the local team was
victorious by a score of 6 to 3. The lo
cals could easily have shut out
the visitors. The game throughout
was more of a farce than a real content
on the diamond. A large crowd turned
out to witness the performance.
Small Craft Cruising.
A large number of yachts, motor
boats and canoes left on the annual
cruise' of the Oregon Yacht club to
the mouth of the Columbia river last
night. The cruisers will return today.

San Francisco, July 25. Next Friday
night at the Coliseum Stanley Ketchel
will enter upon the last lap, so far
as middle weight honors are concerned.
The young Michigander. whose success
In the ring has been phenomenal, has
beaten all the men of his class with
the exception of Hugo Kelly, and If he
disposes of Kelly In the coming contest,
he will be compelled to cross the heavy
weight boundary In search of new
worlds to conquer.
According to public opinion, which In
this case is based en record, Kelly
will prove a formidable opponent for
Ketchel. A fighter, like any other man.
is known by the company he keeps.
and a glance at the list of Kelly's past
performances will show ,that he has
kept right up among the best in his line
of business. He can boast of a couple
of draws with Tommy Burns, and it is
noteworthy fact that dapper Jack
O'Brien, through all his best years,
shunned Kelly as he might a leper. It
was what happened in a 10-round' con
test at Indianapolis in 1905 that caused
O'Brien to give Kelly a wide berth.
O'Brien spoke of a double cross, bul
whatever agreements may have been
violated, the fact remains that Kelly
outfought O'Brien and gained the de
cision. Several attempts were made to
rematch the men, but O'Brien would
have none of it. and a heartless nuhlio
decided that Philadelphia Jack O'Brien
had no stomach for Hugo's game.
All Koads Iiad Back to Fapke.
Kelly held his own aeslnst Mike
Sehrac-k, Jack (Twin) Sullivan and
Tommy Ryan in more than one passage
of arms with each, and It has not been
definitely settled yet that he Is In
any way Inferior to Billy Papke.
Kelly and Papke have had two bouts.
The first resulted In a draw and in
the other Kelly, who boxed eight of the
10 rounds with a badly crippled fore
arm, was adjudged loser bv a slight
margin. Whatever the result of the
Ketchel-Kelly affair, another match be
tween Kelly and Papke is Inevitable,
for Hugo Is anything but content to
allow his Illinola rival to pose as the
cock of the walk of their home section.
Danger of Overconfidence.
Whtlo Ketchel Is training with all of
the earnestness and vim .k usually dis
plays, it is Just possible that Vie lx
overconfident as to the result of Fri
day night's scrap. Otherwise, when ap
proached on the subject of a Septem
ber match with Joe Thomas, ho would
have said. "Let September take care
of itself. This fellow Kelly Is big
enough and broad enough to obscure
the beyond, and I must wait till I get
by him before arranging other dates."
This criticism Is evoked by the sup-
fiosition that the Ketehel-Thomas match
s contingent upon a Ketchel victory
over Kelly. Of course if the Septem
ber date is simply a "whether or no"
proposition, I have to tender my apol
ogies to Ketchel. But whatever It Is,
Luko Marlsch, the July permit holder,
has a kick coming, for It hurts the
match In hand to have one of the prin
cipals dickering for another event to
follow as though the result of the
pending match was a moral certainty.
No Sure Things la Pugilism.
Ketchel's answer to charg'es of over
confidence would no doubt be that he
has made good on every rorecast so
far. True, O King, but the chtefest
charm of the fighting game is the
startling surprises with which It
abounds. Now, on the plea that Papke
defeated Kelly and Ketchel defeated
Pupke, It seems reasonable enough to
suppose that Ketchel will account for
Kelly. But It must be kept In mind
that the Ketchel-Papke bout was a nlp-and-tuck
affair, and that Kelly and
Papke have proved : (J 'mselves to be a
nip-and-tuck team. l'he old geomet
rical rule about two sides of a triangle
and the third does not apply In pugil
ism. Difference In Rtyle Is one of the
greatest stumbling blocks. A may be
able to whip B six days a week, and B
may De an equally consistent winner
over C, but It sometimes happens that
C can stand A on his head every tlmo
they mingle. i
Whichever way the Kelly-Ketchel go
turns out, it can nardly ran or bel
smashing fight. Each man Is wha
known among ring men as an Inside
worker. They say the Papke-Ketchel
mill was one of the greatest feasts of
Slugging even seen In a Qileensberry ln-
closure, and unless something breaks or !
something drops early in the affair,
I 11 be bound Friday night's bout wll
provide a full crop of thrills.
Bat "Lured by the Mojo.
Battling Nelson never yet traveled
the beaten lines of other successful pu
gilists, and tn agreeing to sign with
Gans again he Is giving further proofs
of his desire to be considered original. ;
From what he said after capturing the
championship from the nearo. Nelson
didn't care a rap If he never set eyes on
a boxing glove again.
He remarked that his onlv desire'
had been to win the world's chamolon- '
ship, and that as he had all the mony !
he needed there was nothing to wean '
him away from his determination to i
lead the life simple. i
When Tex Rickard bid such a princely
sum for a go at Ely, however, the Dane
was staggered, ana he promptly ac-

We sold every 1908 Packard we could get.
It was necessary for us to refuse no less than six Packard or
ders during the 1908 season.
This is an unprecedented record and indicates the popularity of
the Packard.
Made entirely in the Packard shops.
"Ask the Man Who Owns One"
REMEMBER If you want a Packard you must order in ad
vance. The Packard supply has never equaled the demand. The
Packard output for 1908 was 300 cars mofe than for 1907, and yet
many were disappointed, even during this panic year.
If you want a 1909 Packard we advise your ordering at once.
You can specify such future delivery as will best suit your convenience.
