KETCHEL-THOMAS

By Will J. flattery.
San Francisco. Auk-, . U - For the
first time since they have been fight
Inf. Stanley Ketehel, the middle" -i qrtit
champion of the world, and his old-time
rlral, Joe Thomas. vlll make their bows
to the fana as heavyweights at the Coli
aeum next Tuesday evening under the
ausDlees of Jack Gleasons Occhi
Club. It will mark the fouitli m.. ttni(
of the men and though a sort of warmed
over card, the go gives promise of being
a fast one.
Ketehel rules a 10 to 4 shot over
Thomas. Though he figures t theee
odds, being: the champion and one of the
toughest men who ever entered the ring
In modern times, there Is la very Rood
chance for the short end boys to bring
home the money as they did In the
Oans-Nelson mlxiip two months ago.
Ketehel will find Thomas n far different
man from the one ha has already beaten
twice so decisively. In fact, never be

Callfornlan loomed up so formidably as
he does right now and it will not sur

he puts one over on the champion.
Thomas Is not making weight for thin
fight and this Is why he looks so good
to everybody. When he met Ketehel
before he was forced to make 156 pounds
and In so doing he was compelled to
work down to such a fine point that he
entered the ring a weak man. Still with
this handicap. Thomas put up a wonder-
'wlth the Canadian In their two fights.

the champion after getting off badly In
the first few rounds.
Thomas will enter the ring weighing
Shout 180 pounds, which is a fair mark
for A big fellow like he is. Instead of
attempting to train down for this fight,
'- Joe has been constantly building up. He
looks the part of a tough heavyweight
now and If he does not give the cham-
plon the hardest battle ef his career tho
fans will he mistaken.
Though Ketehel is a great fighter, a
' hard hitter and a fearless man,, still he
does not figure so strong as did Jack
Dempsey and some of the old boys who
used to wear the belt Ketohels weak
ness is his tendency to blow up. Though
- he has not collapsed still he eamq
very near going out '. each meeting
with Thomas and the end of the bat
tles found htm a very tired young man
and looking anythltjg but a champion.
Ketehel, unlike most boxers, la very
nervous and Is constantly (witching.
Tommy Rums has nt last come nut of
" his shell and Is now engaged In of ficii.
'up to promoter Jim Coffroth in the
hope that the latter will put him on
with Ktchel. L,ast week Corrroth re
ceived several wires from the champion
quince picker, who seems to be imbued
with the Idea that he can handily trim
the middleweight champion and Inci
dentally pick up several thousand eaa
Shekels.
Strange to say. Burns Is now willing
to take R chance and fight for a fair
percentage of the gate receipts He
eays nothing at all about that $30,000
guarantee that he was insisting on a
few months ago. Possibly, the so-called
heavyweight champion has become1
wised up to the fact that the sporting
public has at last gotten 1errv to him.
At all events, he is talking fight with
Ketehel now and unless something hap
pens to the latter In his coming fights
: with Thomas and Papke. It looks verv
much as though the Canadian gentle
man will be accommodated.
In the meantime, Burns has an en
gagement with the unspeakable Snulres
In Melbourne August 24. Why it Is
that the sports of the kangaroo countrv
ran atand for this sort of stuff after
what happened in this country and j
Kn gland nobody seems to be able to j
figure out, but. Judging from the present j
layout the Australians must like 'the!
navor or me lemon, it would i,e one
grand .ioke If fccoiires would put the
crusher on Hum-;, but such a thing
looks impo.siM : fter the way he fared
Manager Canny Long of the Pan
Francisco team has been appointed the
official scout of the league and will
leave within the next few days on a trip
around the country for the purpose of
digging up talftut for all of them for
next season. Long will first Invade the
northwest and travel from there through
the middle west anil finish up In the cast
or In Canada, where so mnny good ones
have been turned out lately.
This Is a new stunt, conceived by
President Kwlng. It has never been
tried out In any league before, so nat
urally the managers of the minor
leagues all over the country will look
upon It with a great deal of interest.
Long has his orders to use his own
ludgment and either buy or draft any
hall player who may look good to him
He has an agreement with both Van
Haltren and MrCredle to get them play
ers. This, of course, will not Interfere
with the other magnates who may go
ahead and draft some men themselves,
provided they happen to run across any
who look good to them.
.With a six or an fight club circuit
ih the field next seas'". n. the league will
stand In need of a great deal of new
hlood. It Is not generally known by the
fans, but all the teams of the league
now have entered Into an aKieuiont by
which they will turn over several of
their players to tho new Sacramento and
Venice clubs when the latter come In.
This will naturally make It hard for
the managers. It takes years to build
up a good bull club and then to turn
around and give up some of your star
men to help the cause of the league
along Is rather tough. However, It will
have to be done In order to Insure the
success of the new teams. They must
get players and they cannot make good
unless their brothers go to the bat for
them and help them out in their hour
of need.
This also has much to do with the ap
pointing of Long as the official scout,
lie will make a strenuous endeavor to
get all the players possy.de for the new
clubs In order that the present teams
will not have to sacrifice too many of
their stars when Sacramento and Venice
call on them. Some recruiting may he
done in tho state league, but the man
agers need not expect to gather many
men there, for the reason that the his;
of these players arc already tied up with
various teams throughout the . ..'intry
and are under the ban of the National
Baseball com mission.

Every once in a while It has boon noted that a famous racehorse Is friendly to some other quadruped not of
its own kind, hut It remained for James R. Keene's unbeaten Colin, the greatest runner ever sired, to
pick an acquaintance with that joke of the sporting forld, the goat. Dogs and cats are ordinarily the
ones who form a companionship with a horse, but it Is rare for friendship between a frfat and a horse

New York, Aug. in. Tho American
athletes who won fame at tho Olympic
games are beginning to get home. 1'p
to this morning not one of them but has
a word to say In support or tho intoler
able treatment accorded the Americans
by the Frltlsh Olympic officials. It
would be manifestly Impossible In too
scope of this letter to give anything like
a compendium of tho complaints mado
by the . returning Americans, and be
sides, this has already been done In
the news columns. Some few experi
ences are worth putting as a matter of
record. '
1'resVlent James E. Sullivan, of the
Amor'ha'n Athletic Union, Bald on ills re
turn: Knglish sportsmanship! I don't want
to hear that expression again as long
as 1 live. There Is no such thing lis
English fair play today. N'o, sir, not
after seeing the Stadium fiascos. All I
of you have heard of the outrageously
unfair treatment the officials meted out I
to our men. There were four Knullsh I
officials w no were prominently unfair
In their dutv. Thy were Or. Hulger,
Mr. Fisher, Mr. Andrews and Mr. l)avhl
son. Andrews, as chief clerk In the
course of the Marathon race, showed
himself up in a particularly obnoxious
manner. I could fill a book on inci
dents of the unsportsmanlike nnd un-
iust actions of the British officials.

but he knows almost nothing about am

he should know them to hold as re-.

whenever they showed on the field

thought It wonderful that wo should i
cheer Walker when he defeated Hector.
The flouth African bent the gun. He
did not do it Intentionally. It was the
starter's fault. We considered the
South African beat Hector fairly and
squarely. Therefore, we cheered him
The first man to clasp Walkers hand
after the race was Hector. I o vou

a barn door. Halsvvelle can run like n
streak of greased lightning when he
thinks ho has got his man beaten, hut
when he gets up anainst It good and
hard he loses heart."
Hay Ewry had this to say on hrs re
turn: "It was evident from the.flrst that the
English people as a class felt a hitter
iealousv nnd hatred of the Americans
Instead of a generous athletic rivalry.
It wasn't so much the big Instances of
unfairness that hurt and disheartened
us as the constant sneering criticism
and the petty slights we were subjected
to every day. When we cheered our
winners In American style, they hissed
nnd sneered at us. When we cheered,
the winners from other countries', the
English couldn't understand it at all,
and they criticised that. When we car
ried our winners out on our shoulders
after the hard races, just because we
were full of enthusiasm, the English
said wo were a lot of uncultivated sav
ages and didn't know crtouyh to bo re

about it, 1 think, than even the runners.
1 was In the high Jump nt the turn. I
stepped to. the edge of the track to get
a clear view of the race. The alleged

English officials had made up their
mliidn that llalswelle was to win that
luce They had watchers all along the
H ack t specially for lhl race. At the
curve opposite me Carpenter ran wide
in a perfect arc. He might have been
going ruu for a clear chance to pass

of Carpenter, then dropped In behind
him. He couldn't run fast enough to
net In reach of Carpenter, and so nat
iii. ally it was Impossible for him to
have been fouled Carpenter couldn't
have touched him without stopping to
wait for din, and the stories that llals
welle was bruised by Carpenter's el
bows was a plain lake. I saw the whole
thing, and no one touched Halswella
from t.n-t to finish Tho watcher who
signaled in stop the race wasnear me.
When the .indues came down to look at
the tracks of the runners and flid proof
of interference they located thn alleged
foul at least if t yards bevond tho pl.n'8
where the runners were when tho stop

" Viiil here Is the most important proof
of premeditation. The first official
fiom the finish line to arrive at t'o
scene of the nlbeed 'foul' rushed out
on the track beside me waving his arms

graceful piece of work I ever saw in .1

"f learned a few things Tit these
Olympic games lhat surprised nie The.
first thing was the open hostility of
the English crowds to all Americans.
"During the final of the standing high
jump the mob boohed the Americans,
tiylne- to rattle , and finally became
so boisterous that the officials had to
threaten to stop tho games before they
could restore order Another thing was
,that the fooling of resentment toward
the English that we all had was snareii
by th- Canad'ans and the South Afri
cans and Australians, nnd all athletes
from the British provinces, who were

the Americans. We all hone It will he
