ECKEL puis away 0'BBEIfl III A HURRY Referee Stops Bout in Third Round When Philadelphian Is Helpless. SHEER STRENGTH FACTOR Michigan Man Beats Down the Quak er's Guard and is Indifferent to Keturn Blows. Philadelphia. June 10. Stanley Ketchel, middle-weight champion, accomplished what Jack Johnson, claimant to heavy-weight honors, failed to do, when the Grand Rapids man simply smothered Jack O'Brien of this city with a storm of blows at the National Athletic club last night and beat him into helplessness in 'ess than three rounds. O'Brien was not knocked out, but the

end would have only been a question J race officials, seventen telegraph operof a few more seconds. When Referee ators and eighty flagmen. Of the lat

McGuigan stepped between the men. stopping the bout and ordering O'Erien to his corner, the Philadelphlan was reeling stupidly about the ring with scarcely enough strength to keep his feet. Except in the first round, where Ketchel failed to conenct with some of his early rushes, there was nothing to the bout but the Grand Rapids man. Totally ignoring the stinging punches O'Brien sent to his face, he fairly leaped into his opponent, landLng solid body drives as. he came in and then smashing down his opponent's guard by sheer strength. It was strength that told the tale. O'Brien landed often, but his blows had no effect. Once when he caught Ketchel off balance he sent In a smash to the neck that seemed to shake the Grand Rapids man. But hardly had a shout of acclaim risen from his supporters when Ketchel stilled it by a volley of savage jolts that thumped into O'Brien's face and stomach and beat down his guard as though Jack had been a child. O'Brien Sem Powerlewa. O'Brien was powerless to stem the tide, and the end was in sight by the middle of the second round. When Ketchel floored him with a savage right that sent the Philadelphlan to the floor so hard that he actually seemed to re dound from the canvas it was seen that the affair was over. O'Brien arose uncertainly at the count of six and smiled nervously toward his corner as Ketchel rushed at him ayaln. Jack's face was bleeding from a cut near the eye, and a big lump had been raised on his cheek in the short interval the bout had progressed. O'Brien struck ut gamely enough, but Ketchel treated his blows as though they were mere taps. In an instant he was on top of O'Brien, sending body blows in with a savag? ferocity that actually seemed to lift Jack to his toes at times. One brief period of this punlshjuent, in which O'Brien was swept back along the ropes with Referee McGuigan skipping frantically alongside, warning Ketchel against hitting low, and Jack again hit the floor. lie went down with a terrific bump and as McGuigan got to the count of eight the gong rang once more. So far as the outcome was concerned, the bout was over. But O'Brien came up weakly for the last round. Ketchel rushed at him once more and as fast as O'Brien tried to clinch, he beat him back and started a new attack. Stanley's arms were working like piston rods and the thudding of the blows ho sent in could be heard far from the ring. As O'Brien stepped in, making an effort to clinch, he ran squarely Into a terrific blow, which stretched him on the floor. He arose, reeling drunkenly, but Referee McGuigan stepped between the men and ended the battle. NAME COMSTOCK MAROON CAPTAIN Track Men Hold Election; Eight Get "Cs." Phillip Comstock was elected captain of the 1310 track team of the University of Chicago at a meeting of the track team held yesterday at the Midway.

A3 the days of the races draws near greater activity reigns.' Another big task taken care of by the officials of the racing carnival was that of providing means of transportation to the military division assignment points for the 800 soldiers of the First Illinois infantry under command of Col. J. B. Sanborn. 'Enough automobiles have been consigned to the use of the club," said Mr. Trego to provide for the transportation of 400 soldiers to their posts inside of one hour.

Nearly all the drivers have been around the Crown Point-Lowell clrruit a few times, but all have driven with a view to studying the turns rather than making speed. ALL S1ITS ABE I! DISGRACE Give Fake Score of Sunday Game When They Return to Hammond. The game played between the All Saints of Hammond and the Kankakee Juniors, at Kankakee Sunday, In which the All Saints were defeated, was one that has caused much excitement among the fans. The All Saints came back to Hammond and gave the score as 5 to 3 in favor of the Kankakee boys, but it was found out yesterday that the All Saints had given a fake score, which has not given them any credit among the fans and other baseball teams of Lake coun ty, as shown by a letter from Kanka kee to Joe Winkler. The score of the game Sunday was 25 to 1 in favor of the Kankakee Juniors. Putze Ebert ha reorganized his baseball team and would like to get a game with the All Saints for their next open date. Tutze's second team of the St Josephs will hereafter be known as the St. Joserh Juniors. Putze has his men out and is giving them practice every evening.

CUBS WANT THEIRS The cubs of former days. Messrs. Lundgren and Fraser, are still in the hunt for what they deem their portion of the $10,000 bonus. And the cast-offs started proceedings yesterday with the view of forcing President Murphy to a recount of the loot.
