KETCHEL'S Hi New York, June 10.—Stanley Ketch- el knocked out Jim Smith of New York in the fifth round of a scheduled ten round bout at the National Sporting club tonight by a right swing to the Jaw. % It was rough fighting throughout, and both men were gmilty of holding, although, according to the referee's announcement, they were - allowed to fight with one hand free in the clinches. Smith had a shade the better of the contest at the end of the first round, although he slipped- to the floor heav il vin avoiding an uppercut. Ketchel landed heavily with lefts to the stom- ach during the second round,but Cmith was quick to counter with body blows. Just before the bell rang Ketchel took a lead with right and left to the head. In the third Ketchel, séeing it was to be no easy fight, became thoroughly aroused and with _vicious uppercuts broke through Swgith’s guard and had ‘him dgzed at the 1. Smith staggred Ketchel with two left hooks to the jaw in the foutrh, but Ketchel's vitality brought him back in a twinkling, and the remainder of the round he outfought his man. In the fifth Ketchel played for the body. Smith was growing slower and missed many wild swings. His fault throughout the fight was his poor judgment of distance : Ketchel forced his man to the @epes. As they broke at the referee’s com- mand and took the center of the ring, Ketchel saw his chance. Smith was trying to come to a clinch, but Ketchel met im with a right swing that sounded like cracking in the head of a barrel. Down went Smith and he was still squirming on the floor when Ketchel vaulted over the ropes, &as fresh as when he crawled under them. Ketchel s never in distre and nev- er worried, although at openi the he seemed a little puzzled. Smith made | a game fight. but was outclased. On July 2 Ketchel will meet Sam Langford at Richmond, Cal, across the bay from San Francisco. JOHNSON’S EASY DAY. Tinkered Over His Auto—Did 12 Miles in About 1 Hour, 35 Minutes. San Francisco, June 10.—With two days of hard work ahead of him, on Saturday and Sunday, Jack Johnson shunned the gvm this afternoon. Al- though Al Kaufman was plugging away merrily, the champion busied himself with his automobiles, both of which were in need of repair. ¥or that reason Johnson spent several hours in a garage. He was out on the road as usual in the morning. Ie took his twelve mile course in leisurely fashion, completing the distance in something like an hour and 35 minutes. “The best time over the course,” eaid Trainer Tom Flanagan, “was one hour and 21 minutes. Johnson tested him- self on that day, but the fight is too far off for him to be continually sprinting. The last week we will be cutting down the distance and speed— ing up.” i FINE AND SUSPENSION FOR FIGHT WITH SOFFEL. Burns of Northampton to Blame for Mixup—Hit Gus With the Ball. Bristol, Conn., June 10.—President W. J.

Dreyfuss Says: “It’s a Lie!” Pittsburg, June 10.—The Pittsburg Leader tonight charges that the slump by the world's champions is due to jealousy among the players. Presi- dent Barney Dreyfuss strenuously de- nies all the assertions. The Leader charses that Hans YWasg- ner and Jack Miller have declared war aga'net Jack Flynn, i R Ttat basemia and that these two plavers nave made strenuous efforts to oust him. It is asserted in the publication that the slump is directly due to this factional fight because Capt. Fred Clarke select- ed Flynn in place of Bud Sharpe for first base. President Dreyfuss would only iseue a statement which “It goes against my grain to digni fy such absurd fiction by denying it, but I will do so to save some of the club’s friends from being misled. The om_beginning to end, is entire story, an absolute of truth in i Princeton Senior Crew’s New Record. Princeton, N.

RENEWAL OF DECLINES ;:": “; - 5'“0"“" - Prompted by Slow Demand for Stocks | ‘tys i 1688 Gamtennty Epes —Money Continues Easy. New York, June 10—The languor of the demand for stocks which began already to be manifest vesterday prompted a renewal of operations for the decline today on @ moderate scale. The volume of the dealings expand- ed over those of yesterday, but only to a slight extent. - The rumors of the identity of the sellers indivated the suspicion rife in the speculation that a purpose to depress prices for profit furnished the leading motive for the selling. The depression was subscribed to dissatisfaction with the railroad rate situation amd to the condition in the copper trade. The selling of the cop- pers was attributed to a large extent 1o Boston and foreign sources, and it had as esplanation the accumulation of surplus stocks of the metal still go- ing on, a sharp drop in the London price of the metal today, and a feel- ing jof discouragement over the sus- tained rate of production of the metal, with no corresponding expansion in the demand. The selling of United States Steel, at the same time, was an influenge on’ sentiment. The selling of the metal stocks was made to appear as though coming from the financial party which has been credited with maintaining an _attitude of dscontent with the railroad rate agreement. St Paul, in_the meantime, was less con- spicuously under pressure today than on previous days this week. The progress of the railroad bill through the conference committee of the two houses of congress is watched with solicitude. One of the specific factors of weak- ness was the unsupported condition of the Chicago and Alton stocks, which gave rise to the supposition that the dividend on the common stock was to be suspended. Its fall to 30 was con- sidered corroborative of the market conjecture. The decline in Toledo, St. Louis and Western as the owner of Chicago and Alton stocks was a nat- ural consequence. Preliminary estimates of the week’s currency movement indicated a con- tinued inflow of cash to New York. Interior banks, however, are known to be fortifying their cash holdings in expectation of a call from the comp- troller for a statement of condition. Money continues easy in New York, but there is little demand froin stock market sources. _ Bonds were irfegular. Total sales, par value, $1,607,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Milwaukee, Wis,, June 10.—Ad Wol~ gast’s first fight since he took the lightweight championship from Bat- tling elson on February 22, was a failure and he fractured his left arm. He fought ten rounds with Jack Red- mond of this city, in the same ring where he got his start in the cham- plonship. In the fourth round Wolgast injured his left arm on one of Redmond’s el- bows and in the sevepth he snapped a bone In the forearm about three inches above the wrist. Up to the time of the mishap he had a good lead but did not work fast except when occasion de- manded. From the seventh to the fin- ish he was almost helpless and if Red mond had had_any energy he could have knocked Wolgast out. The newspaper decision gave the fight to Wolgast begause of his dig lead in the earlier rounds. Getting Reddy for Boverly.
