KETCHELL IS
LUCKY 10 WIN
(By United Press.)
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. ? Stanley
Ketcbell was awarded the decision
over Hilly Papke yesterday afternoon
after twenty rounds of the fastest
and most furious fighting ever seen
in this city. The decision of the ref
eree was received with a storm of
hoots and jeers and at one time it
looked as if a riot would start at the
ringside.
Most of tiie spectators thought that
Papk<? should have been given a
draw at the worst and many of them
believe that he was entitled, to the
decision. He was certainly stronger
at the end of the fight.
Ketcbell went after Pa-ke from
the start in bis usual hammer and
tongs manner, but the Illinois Thun
derboldt gave him as good as he
sent. The men mixed it at a furious
rate for the first five rounds and
then both of them became slightly
winded, although the entire fight was
enlivened by vicious slugging matches
and fast rallies.
Kctchell broke his right hand in
the sixth round by a wild swing to
Papke's head and dislocated his
thumb in the eighth round by having
a swing blocked by Papke's elbow.
The men have been matched to
fight again in August. It was their
fourth fight yesterday. Each man
has knocked the other out and two
encounters were practically draws.
Both men weighed in at lf?8 pounds
at 1 1 o'clock in the morning. The
betting was 10 to 3 on Ketcbell.'
The Jefferson will arrive In Skag
way at 4 'o'clock tomorrow morning.
She has a large crowd of tourists on
board.
