Stanley Relies on New Man
ager to Pilot Him to the Heavyweight Title. Grand Rapids, Mich., Jan. 7. To the
discard with Joe O'Connor, Willis Brltt is the draw.
That Is the way Stanley Ketchel has
filled his hand In 'easting about for a
manager to make him champion of the world. O'Connor, who has been acting
n that capacity since the time Ketchel
was a green fighter, has been dallying Imprudently on the coast while the wily Britt has. been camping sagaciously on
the trail of the middleweight cham
pion in this city since New -Year's. The parties to the new alliance are
nseparable, and Britt announces that
he will remain in Grand Rapids until after the three round sparring match
between Ketchel and Capon! Jan. 15.
Britt's first endeavor will be to ai
range a match with Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship, despite Ketchel's hasty decision of last week not to fight the negro. Both express confidence In Ketchel's ability to turn
the trick, and Jimmy Coffroth's offer of
a purse of nearly $20,000 for the mill.
to be pulled oft In San. Francisco July
4, looks good to them.
Tony Caponi and his manager, Cal
Harris, will go today to Grand Rapids,
where Caponl will finish his training
for his three round bout with Ketchel Jan. 15.- Capon! Is confident that he will give a good account' of himself
in the short tilt with the middle
weight champion.
"We gave the East Chicago people an
exniDiuon game, wnich resulted in a
tie sore of 2 and 2," said Mr. Stephens
yesterday, "and we feel that the re
turn game should be played in the
Harbor rink." There is considerable enthusiasm in the Harbor about such a game, and were it to occur there is no doubt that the Harbor boys would offer a few fancy odds that they would
defeat their competitors.

Miss Sutton Thinking of
Competing in England. Pasadena, Cal., Jan. 7. "Indeed,
would like to go to England next
summer," said Miss Sutton today when
asked If she would cross the Atlantic
to compete for the tennis championship
of the world at Wimbledon. "The
trip would be awfully Jojly and I would like to go, but, don't you know, those
English girls ought to come to California for a change. Not one of them
has ever been in the United States, and England is such a sticky old place compared with America. Still I will
go If urged sufficiently."
Miss Sutton is in perfect health at
present and keeps In good practice through the clever playing of her sister Florence. The two play every day
at the Sutton home on the old dirt court where May learned how to be a champion.
Miss Sutton won the English championship in 1905, lost it in 1906 and regained It in 1907. Last summer she stayed at home and took part in the coast tournaments.
