The Toung Men's club of St. Joseph's

church showed that they could play ball yesterday afternoon when they shut out the Columbia Athletic club in a seven inning game at the state line grounds by a score of 23 to 0. The Toung Men's club had the game clinched from the start and showed the Columbia Athletic league that they were too slow to ever get the goat from the Toung Men's club. The Toung Men's club hit them out and showed better team work. Every player for the Columbia Athletic club wore a yellow glove and it certainly showed in the game that they displayed their colors ln more ways than just wearing the yellow gloves.

New Tork, March 29. There is one

man In New Tork who thinks Stanley Ketchel as great a fighter for his inches as ever lived. He's Hugh D. Mcintosh, the spunky little fellow who promoted the contest that took the heavyweight championship title from the white folk. "Isn't he excellent; just isn't he excelent!" he exclaimed as I found him ordering his bit of "toast and tea," "He has all the qualifications that go to make the champion that he is and over the class which he dominates. I do hope that they won't try to make him a heavyweight before his time. Why, he isn't any bigger than Burns not as big, mind you. Their styles are very similar in some respects. Oh, what a ripping fight they would put up! They both possess peculiar advantages that would go to make theirs a truly wonderful battle to look at. Ketchel with his strange shifts that wonderful left

He has his own methods of avoiding blows that would sting and then again he would simply ignore blows in the face in order that his good, strong, powerful manner of fighting might assert itself. Says Jobnaon Would Win. "It was the greatest fight I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. Both were so game. I don't want to see him

"I see that Ketchel believes that with a long fight before him Johnson would come into the ring with half a heart. Nothing of the sort. He simply would

Johnson was willing from the outset

there, but upon Johnson's request that any one of the big leading newspapers be allowed to hold the money, Corbett Instantly agreed and wired to, Smith to transfer the money to any paper Johnson desired. Corbett reached Chicago yesterday morning and opened at the National theater. "My show s nearly over," he said, "and I don't have to advertise it. I have the backing, all right. F. A.

Stokes of Minneapolis Is manager and stockholder in a wireless telegraph company there. Johnson sugested having the bout a ten-round affair in New York, but what good would it do? If he lasted the limit I could not claim the championship even if I had the better of him." Corbett expects to hear from Johnson the latter part of the week. Before departing at 2:45 p. m. yesterday with his party, Johnson confirmed the report that he would box Corbett unless Jeffries agreed to battle Johnson reaches New Tork at 9 o'clock this morning.
