Eewanee Thunderbolt Turns Down Match for Nov. 24 Because He Needs More Time

p SOON

Bill Papke has not retired. On the contrary, the Illinois thunderbolt considers himself very much in the running for the middleweight championship. Only last night he turned down, temporarily, a dandy match with George. Chip in Milwaukee. Ben Steinel ha dslgned Chip through Manager Jimmy Dime to box Papke November 34 at the South Side A. C, where Willard and Rodel are to clash next Monday night. Papke sent word that he would be delighted to meet Chip, as he felt sure that he can whale the man who knocked out Frank Klaus. But Bill is a wise ring bird and knows he can't get ready in ten days. So he asked for a postponement necessitating a three weeks' training rpeell, and the request probably will be granted. A match between the pair will no doubt be put on by Btelnel some time In December. Papke has only to inform Rteinel when he will be fit for a hard battle and the articles will be forwarded to him. The Kewanee veteran is one of the choicest cards possible for a Milwaukee ring. It was in that town that he and Ketchel dished up the greatest struggle that Milwaukee ever saw. Besides that, Bill staged two great combats with Hugo Kelly in the same city. Papke is a Geramn and they like hi min Milwaukee. "With an attraction like Chip these fellows ought to pack them in just as sure as they start. Papke is the only middleweight who ever beat Ketchel and that insures his popularity as long as he re

mains a gloveman. He made a couplo of mediocre fights during the past yenr, but both were caused by neglecting to train. Papke means business this time and who knows but what he may get into shape and wade through the bunch of middles that are How scrambling after the championship? MATCH NOT YET SETTLED Several months ago Hammond fight fans got their heails together and talked of a ten-round mill between Kddle Clabby and Art Stewart, both clever local boys. The Clabby-Stewart setto is still fresh on their minds and it is no more than possible that the two lightweig-hts may get togrether in the near future. A scrap between the pair would be a whirlwind from the fight fan's standpoint of view and promoters are figuring that the card would pack the house to the beams. Both are known as the aggressive type of fighters and if they should happen to get together In the near future the windup alone would be worth going miles to see. While Stewart has been fighting but little in the past six months he has been training to some extent in order to keep himself in condition. He has won considerable reputation on accout of a kick which he carries In either hand and when he lands on his opponent he generally causes a sleepy effect. Recently h won his fight at

Gary by the K. O. route In the third round. Clabby is known as one of the mosrt aggressive gamesters in the ring today and as he is always in condition he needs but little work to prepare for a fight. He faces Toung Kansas in his next battle and la now under the management of Larney Liechtenstein of Chicago.

YALE NOT TO NUMBER MEN New Haven, Conn., Nov. 14. In explaining why he does not wish Tale football playera numbered Captain Ketcham said last night: "I thoroughly disapprove of numbering football men and we have decided not to depart from our former system. In the first place this has been advocated by the newspapers for their own benefit in distinguishing the men. Football is not being conducted here for the newspapers, but for the college, and the players are not working to gain recognition by the public, but are playing for themselves and the university."

A novelty for sport and httiletic circles will be lt-i first appeal ancs in America at the Soverity-fl-st Itegl-n-.--nt armory, N.w TorU tonight of the Stockhold Gym-nnstlc sijiy. of StDCkrnim. Sweden, '.Vs older ail foremost exponents of the Ling system of gymnastics. The society won first honors for gymnastics at the Olympic games at Stockholm and the organization as a whole was the moving spirit in promoting the games there, and largely responsible for their success and the entertainment of the visitors an dpartlcipants. It was organized In 1R75 by Col. Viktor Balck. who has ever since remained its president and active head, and through whose effort the spread to all corners of the world of the Ling system Is largely Indebted. EVHR since 1S77 the society has as various times given exhibitions in the principal capitals of Europe, for whim It holds numerous medals; took active part In the Olympic games, both at Athens and London, a well as at the f wedsh capital. Tne American troupe consists of thirty pi"ked gymnasts, under direction of Major Count Philip von Schwerln.

GEORGE STALLINGS emphatically denies the statement credited to him that the American league is SO per cent stronger than the National. The manager of the Boston Braves brands tho story as a bane fabrication. ANY lingering doubt regarding the popularity of intercollegiate football under the revised playing rules is re

moved by the deluge of applications pouring in upon those in charge of the ticket distribution of the big games of the season. . THE DEMAND for seats surpasses any record of previous years, and the various managements are at their wits' ends trying to devise some method of equitably meeting the situation. FROM PRESENT indications the seating capacity of the various fields upon which the Yale-Harvard, ArmyNavy, Harvard-Princeton, Pennsylvania-Cornell and Princeton-Yale games that will be played will be unequal to

the demands already being filed by alumni, undergraduates and their friends.

THE FEDERATION of French Boxing Clubs announces that Jack Johnson cannot box 'for the title" in any club in France. This leaves Johnson a man without a country and without an occupation. He can box in Russia. Switzerland, or Belgium. He doesn't dare come back to the United States, and cocldn't box here anyway, and is barred in Australia, England and France. All of which shows that while decent behavior Is not always entirely natural to some people. It is invariably the best policy.

YALE is making preparations to place a winning team in the field for the annual chess tournament which begins in this city on Christmas day. A match with Prinoeton tonight is one of the first steps to be taken In order to f,et the Blue team into fighting trim. THE "WINTER games of the Boston Athletic association are announced for the evening of February 7. The usual program replete in relay races and special events, will be shown. HOWARD DREW, the celebrated short distance runner, who won distinction In this cliy recently by setting a new record for this district, will be a competitor at the track and field carnival of the Diocesan Union club Of Brooklyn, on November 22. TOMMY REILLY says that after O'Keefe battles Kilbane he Is willing

to hook up his colored wonder, Preston Brown, with the featherweight title holder in this city or any other one. Tommy, like a good many more, figures Brown the greatest boxing wonder of the age. JOHNNY COtTLON Is on the warpath. The Chicago boy is out with a ringing challenge to "Kid" Williams, "Battling" Reddy and all the other 116 pound men in the world. Coulon declares that he has completely recovered from his recent attack of gastritis and that be Is as strong as ever before. FEAR that Charles Webb Murphy, owner of the Chicago Cubs, who sailed for Europe1 this week, will maks Ireland bin permanent home are unfounded. Murphy -WW! return 1n time to whoop things up at the annual meeting of the National league in this city on December E.

STANDING OF TIIF, ('LtBS. W. I. Pet. Giant' 13 U A4Z White Sox 11 13 .458 Oakland. Cal., Nov. 14. With "Reb" Russell, Charley Comlskey's speedy southpaw Texas recruit, allowing but seven hits, the New York Giants west down to a 5 to 2 defeat at the hands of the Chicago White Sox on the Oakland lot yesterday in the first contest of a five-game series which the big leaguers will play during their sojourn in San Francisco. The veteran Wlltse was on the mound for the McGraw men and was touched up freely. Lobert registered three of the seven hits for the Giants. McGraw and Donlin were sent to the clubhouse by Umpire Klem In the seventh inning. Score: Chicago 1 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 5 New York 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 2

"BIG NINE" MEETING CALLED FOR DEC. 6 Western conference delcgnts will

meet at the Auditorium hotel on December 6, according to an announce

ment sent to the members of the 'Big

Nine" yesterday. At that time the

basket ball, baseball and track sched ulea will be drafted and routine busi

ness transacted. Another matter

which may be brought up Is the application of Nebraska for a berth as the tenth member of the association. Marquette university and Michigan Agricultural college also may file requests for membership. It Is not believed there will be any chances in the makeup of the organization, as most members realize that the association is too bulky now. Whether the Michigan question will come up is unknown. The Wolverine regents meet todayTat which session the ever present question of returning to the conference will be brought up and probably passed upon. Fourteen colleges and universities will be represented at the annual conference cross country run to be held under the auspices of Ohio State at Columbus on Nov. 22. , Just before the Northwestern-Ohio game. Every school In the "Big Nine" and Dennison, Ames, Nebraska and Kansas will send teams.
