{6 UP TO DATE | AND NEWSY JACK O'BRIEN AND K ETCHEL ROUGHING IT IN TRAINING Middleweight Champion and Quaker { City Contender Resurrect Old Bob Fitzsimmons’s Methods. E are about to have a fine fuss between two famous fight- W ers. I'll correct that and say one famous fighter and one no- torlous fighter. The famous fist-wleld- er is Middle-Weight Champion Stan- ley Ketchel, late of Michigan, Mon- tana and California. The other {3 that well-known Philadelphia heavy- weight, whose fighting career was supposed to have ended when he earned the nickname “Confessing Jack" O'Brien. They meet in a ten- round wrangle to-morrow night at the National A. C. Curiously enough, these two have resurrected the old method of train- Ing that went out of vogue with the decline and fall of Robert Fitzsimmons. Both have stuck to their training camps for weary weeks, and both have been doing the kind of work that brings about a dollar and a quarter a day When performed by some Italian laborer.

Three diamond medals were presented te men who had brought fame to the club during the past year. Harry Hill- man, leading point winner, was first Harry blushed and smiled and sat down, while the building shook with the rear of applause that followed his ap- pearance. Herbert L, Trube, who made @ new world's indoor record for the mile run (4 minutes 192-5 seconds) came next. More applause of the plas ter-braaking sort Then there were loud calls for Dan- lels. It seemed that “Danny” had been overcome by bashfulness and had taken refuge in the swimming tank, which made his appearance in the dining- room at that moment inadvisable. File Biedal was presented just the same and put away for him. Then came speeches from P: Jim" Haslin, Comptroller Metz, Pilkington and score others famous in the club annals back to the away time of Harry Buermeyer a Tad Curtis, who won champions y the dozen as much as forty years ago.
