Ketchel is the prototype—the rein: carnation—of Bob Fitzsimmons. And! no one questions for a moment the fact that Fitzsimmons in his prime could have knocked Johnson cold in a few rounds. Ketchel is like Fitzsim- mons in the fact that he hits a ter- rific blow with his lett hand and has @ first-class right. He has mastered the “shift” until it is as natural to him as it ever was to freckled Bob. He is game and young and ‘trong, and he weighs as much as Fitzsimmoas did when he fought Jim Corbett for the world’s championship and won. Ketchel isn't quite as «all as Itz. In shifty cunning the Cornishman was a better man. And shiftiness and cunning go a long wa~ in aiding a Sinall_ man matched against one forty | ais pounds heavier, Ketchel doesn't depend upon cunning, as Fitz did, but rather prefers sudden rush nd co} meuling with either hand as th ings come, a } Parts Wonderian Josephs, Working Hard for Bout, and. $%.!
