BIG CROWD

EXPECTED AT There will be tome excitement at Hunmond tonight when Stephen Ketchel and Art Stewart step out on the canvas to show their lightweight ware over the ten-round course. A bundle of Chicago fans will be clus- , tered around the ringside when the first gong ia heard. "Wabash" Larney Llchtensteln predicted last night that Ketchel will come home on the bit. Larney ought to know something about Steve, for he has brought him along toward the top in rapid strides of late. The Stewart party is noted for the sleep wallop he carries In his right hand. Ketchel Is noted for his ability to take any kind of a wallop with a smile, and at the same time deal out a stiff lacing. So there should be an old-time ring collision when this pair reaches the center of the arena In the opening round. Both gave Battling Nelson tough fights recently, but Steve's record on the whole outshines that of the Hammond boy. UNITED STATES ICE BOATTO SWEDEN Kalamazoo, Mich., Jan. SO.

Merctt

rest of B. J. Stewart, assistant storekeeper of the Indian school. Thorpe would say . nothing on ' this subject, but talked freely concerning his lost athletic honors.
