WORKS F
S FOR J0DI
OR BIG BATTLE
S. Ketchel is springing a new one on the fight-going public. The middleweight champion, while in Chicago yesterday on his way to San Francisco to keep his date with Johnson for the world's heavyweight championship battle, set for Oct. 12, divulged the novel training method he is employing to keep on edge for the go. When the Wolverine walloper left New York he was down to a fine point for his postponed battle with Langford. He had spent two weeks getting fit for the bout, only to be deprived of the chance to trade punches with Samuel by the New York authorities. He did
not want to lose the benefit of this
training by his hurry-up trip across the continent. So Wlllus Britt, the manager with the ideas, as well as "bunk," arranged a gymnasium in the baggage car of the train. , Dumbbells, a punching bag and other apparatus were installed in the mlle-a-minute gymnasium and Ketchel has been working all the time that he has been neartng the scene of the battle.
If anything he will be in better shape at the end of the trying four days' rush across the country than at the start of it. Ketchel's stay in Chicago was brief. He was racing against time to save
that $3,000 forfeit he posted for his!
little affair with Johnson and lost no time in boarding a coastbound train. The middleweight with heavyweight aspirations was looking fit for any sort
STANDING OF CLUBS
CHINESE ON THE
HARVARD TEAM
Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 21. To Kuo
Chi Ll belongs to the distinction of be ing the first Chinese student at Har
vard to enter athletics. Li has joined the track squad and is being urged by the coaches to go out for football be
cause of his record at Pel Yatg univer
sity, Tien Tsen, China, where he was
one of the best all-around athletes
His specialty was the quarter-mile, in which he is the holder of several Chi
nese records.
LI is related to Yuen Chi Kal, governor of Chi Li province, China. He is a senior at Harvard, where he is studying for the consular service. He is a very prominent member of the Cosmopolitan club of Harvard.
of a battle. There was a healthful glow to his cheeks that left no doubt
as to his condition and a sincerity in his talk that spoke of a world of confidence in his ability to whip Johnson. He stated that he weighed 190 pounds with his street clothes on and that he intended to go into the ring weighing 180 when he meets Johnson. Through his official mouthpiece, Wlllus Britt, the champion of the middleweights allowed as follows: "I'll whip Johnson just as sure as we get into the ring. He can't stand punishment of any sort and the kind I am going to deal out to him is going to be
of the extraordinary brand. I am going
to wade into him and beat him down with body punches. He isn't the gamest fellow in the world and does not carry as hard a punch as I do. "When I get through with the champion Oct. 12 there will be no necessity of Jeffries re-entering the ring, because the job that the big alfalfa farmer has been training for at Carlsbad will have been done. "I have $5,000 bet on the result of the fight now and I am looking for more. Of course I want the prevailing odds and if they suit me I am going to put down a big chunk." Britt then glanced hastily at a clock and, still talking of the coming downfall of Johnson, dashed for a train that was to take him back to Frisco, puffing away at the same time on a perfecto which raised more smoke than a traction engine hitting a 30 per cent grade.

NO
CUB-SOX NEGOTIATIONS
"Challenge Now Ungentlemanly," Says Commy. There have been as, yet no negotiations relative to a series for . the city championship between the cubs and sox. President Comiskey yesterday declared the National , league champions were too game a bunch to be counted out yet, and that as long as they had a physical chance of winning the pennant he would not consider it the part of a gentleman to challenge the west siders on behalf of the south side team. President Murphy of the cubs said he was anxious to have his team meet the sox, who, he predicted, would . give the champions a much harder battle than did Detroit, but he preferred not to act unless it became impossible to land another flag on the west side.

Sixty freshmen reported for the

1913 eleven, and R. C. Lowry of Indianapolis manager.
LAYS BLAME TO SPORTING MEN
New York, Sept. 21. The astonishing statement was made this afternoon by a high county official that the calling off of the Langford-Ketchel fight, scheduled for last Friday night at the Fairmont Athletic club, was really Instituted by well-known local sporting men who feared for their bets. "The truth about this afTair has not yet been printed," said this man to a reporter. "As a matter of fact, Ketchel, the favorite, hurt his arm in training, or at least a report that he had hurt his arm was circulated quietly. There happened to be a group of men prominent around Forty-second street and Broadway who had wagered big sums of money on Ketchel to win. "Fearing that if their man went into the ring with a crippled arm he would be licked by the negro, these men set
to work deliberately to break up the bout. They succeded in arousing certain anti-fight advocates without letting their interest in the matter be known to the reform element, and as a result strong representations were made to the governor that the law was about to be violated.

GRASSELLI WINS GAME
The Grasselli Chemical company won a hard-earned game Sunday when they took the U. S. Metals Refining company into camp, winning out in the ninth Inning, 4 to 3. Meyers, the Grasselli pitcher, won his own game by knocking in the run which tied the score and then brought in the wlnnning run on an error. Grasselli was lucky in winning as the V. S. team gathered twelve safe hits from Meyers, while Grasselli could hit Rogers, the U. S. pitcher, but six times safely.
