THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1908, STORIES OF SPORTS TOLD BY EXPERTS TCHEL AND PAPKE ATLL AND WORAN IN Flor TS FOR Tl _————— } f t ) Big Championship Battles, Which Promise to Be Desperate i Affairs. BY ROBERT EDGREN. Who wouldn't be in ‘Frisco to<lay? Frisco is just on the verge of t a delirium of championship scrapping. For a few ¢ollars in ’Frisco you could hold down a seat in Coffroth’s Mission Street Arena this afternoon ~ { and see Abe Attell and Owen Moran battle for the world’s feather-weight i championship. Between the rounds you could read the bulletins from Los Angeles, following that other great championship battle for the mid- \ dle-weight title between Ketchel and Papke. The two begin at the same } moment, Ot’ course, if-you prefer seeing the big fellows it is only a few hours’ run down the coast in a parlor car. And whichever fight you chose to take in you could connect with the Nelson-Gans rumpus two days | Inter, Wednesday afternoon, again in Coffroth's arena, Nelson and ans, too, aré fighting for a title, the lightweight this time. Think of it, j three world’s championships within two days; two of @em in the same ting! And the best of It Is that there {s to be no lemon picking here, Every | scrap will be a desperate affair, not settled or determined until the last | | blow has been struck Attell and Moran have already battled savagely to! a w, leaving the question of supremacy up in the afr, Ketchel and| Papke have fought tem rounds in Milwaukee, Ketchel taking a close deci- sion, Nelson has lost to Gans on a foul in forty-two rounds, at Goldfield, and has since then knocked the great negro fighter out cold at Colma after seventeen rounds of strenuous action. Gans says that he {s in better shape | now, and he promises to reverse the verdict, Abe Attell Is at once the cleverest and we have never seen Ketchel.

Now, however, there is some talk of reviving the old tour- nament, but of reducing the number of alleys and owners to a dozen, Should this be done there are other alley owners who will join in forming siml- lar tournaments, and it would not pay Surprising if a dozen “championships” Would be in progress all over the city.

After a rub |down Gans jumped on the scales and | welghed 133 pounds. He will not do any more boxing until he faces the Dane. Nelson is still the favorite in the betting at odds of 10 to 6 It Is thought by the time the men enter the ring that the Dane will be a big favor- ite at ods of 2 to 1.
