Dava Bmith. Fapke's ring worx was riaicuiaa br the exDerte down "yonder" from th beginning. ' They pronounced th IU1- nols thunderbolt" a fala alarm th first time they saw 'htm; put up; his hands. ; By th tim Pav. Bmitn naa won from him on a foul and nara neaa ed Cvclon Thompson had made a punching bax of him. th Australians were puasled ' to imagine bow Papka had ver made any neaaway wtn nia flats In his own country.' They consid ered him the poorest apology for a world'a champion they aver had laid eyes on. . r - - It waa rather humiliating for aome or ua who bad aeen Papka at hla beat and who had warned the Australlane to be on tha lookout for a high elaaa expon ent of Queensbarry pastimee. But it's a long lane that haa no , turning, and now that Papka- haa coma back to his own, aa It were, all neoeaslty for apolo gies or explanations is don away with. Bank Xn and Outer. Of course, if Papka had kept up his poor work to the vary laat In Australia and If It had become neceasary to aay something in defense of tha good re ports of him aent thither In the first place, wa could have fallen back on th fact that Billy haa been an uncer tain proposition from ths tim hs first stepped into a ring. The champion "in and outer" some call htm, but that car ries with It a suggestion of chronlo crookedness and I don't think that Pap ka Is sinner enough to deserve a repu tation of that kind. The fact remains, however, that Bllly'a record Is a hodge podge of strikingly brilliant perform ances and th moat wretched ahowlnga. What a beating he admlnlatered to daahlng Stanley Ketchel at Los Angeles had him beaten from the first clash. aa a matter of fact and what a faint hearted display he made in subsequent fights with th "Michigan Aaaaaain." In on of their affalra In Ban Fran cisco, th merest tyro of a watcher might have discovered that Ketchel kept going on hla courage. Both hands were crippled and ha Just wavsd his , Miss Gladys Todd launched tha Nancy Lea Sunday, and the boat looks very trim with her freah coat of paint and trlmmlnga. Tha boys will hav to keep their eyes on Miss Todd In th racee on th 10th, aa she is aa much at horn in th Nancy Lee a any deep water sailor oould be. The 'Windward waa launched Sunday by It.
