KETCHELL’S LEFT SHIFT WAS WHAT GOT HUGO KELLY BY W. W. NAUGHTON. SAN Kit A NCI SCO, Aug. L—Stanley Ketchell defended his middleweight title successfully against Hugo Kelly last night He tumbled hn* man tn the third round, knocking him out completely with a left shift, or. to be more explicit, a left hook, following a tejnt of the right and accompanyed by a change of the position of the feet. The punch took Kelly on the Jaw and picked him up and dropped him on his haunches. He quivered all over and It required but one look to tell that he was beaten. He made no motion to rise and when the ten seconds which meant il'-feat. were tolled off. his seconds lifted him up and carried him to his corner. There are always surprises, of course, in prize fights, but the way this contest ended will little short of JOHNSON STOPS DLOODYBHITON LONDON.

Aug I.—Matty Bald win. the Boston lightweight, won over Charley Griffin, the new importation from New Zealand, last night in the wind-up of the Fairmont club. a sensation, when the men went to their corners and at th*» end of the second round Kelly seemed to have established a lead. He had stood to his gtins with the famous Michigan slugger and htui pumped the fiercest kind of right handers Into the cham pion's ribs. He had punched Ket chell’s face with both hands and had brought a stream of blood from Ket chell’H nose. He had Ketchell swing ingwidely while he, himself, was mak ing nearly every punch tell. The affair started with the crowd looking to a Ketchell victory as a foregone conclusion. Hut the clang of the starting boll had scarcely died away before the spectators recognized that etchell was embroiled in the most spiteful battle of his career. As Kelly gave smash for smash and while the second round was In progress, appeared to be gaining the mastery, the onlookers yelled as they always do when the unexpected Is In sight. It is said, indeed, that while the fighters were resting after that ter rible turbulent second round the men who had barked Ketchell were look ing about them for a chance to hedge.

In twenty five seconds after the gong sent them togeiher for the third round it was all over. Ketchell, with blood between lip and nose, danced briskly out of his corner and met Kelly two-thirds of I the way across the ring. They were j both thoroughly alarmed after their furious onslaught of the round before and they went to work without fid dling or feinting. Two left arms straightened simul taneously and each man took a bruls ing thump on the face. As they step ped away Kelly tried to nail Ketchell with a right-hander in the heart re gion, a punch he had used with signal 'success up to this point. Ketchell stepped back and made use of the j left shift. He brought his right I hand forward as though to deliver a blow, then he halted it and drew i back hls left foot, at the same time letting go a vicious left punch which was half hook and half swing. It j caught Kelly squurely on the jaw and dropped him. It was a forceful crack and It fin ished the fight. A Sporting Notes l.rnudi'r lii-iit Ihr llr Ik Inn erm In (he Hauls at Henley.

No, it was not the fault of the man who felled this laborer. It was not the happenstance of the man’s head striking a plank sHr inch manner as to break his neck. It was just WHISKY. ■m .purely and simply that. 2 j; For had it not been for the stuff which clouded the laborer's flwfcwMn and sent him to work in an ugly, fighting mood there would ifljpc been no necessity for his foreman to order him from the plant; f There would have been no heated words; f There would have been no attempt upon the life of the foreman.

A widow’s cries of despair her heart sobs should fall upon ears and haunt him in his sleep. I For the few dimes that are his from the pocket of Gewandowski Bjßfiresent the price of a human soul, and the ring of his cash register sounded the man's funeral knell, as is the case the city over mKere rum is sold to irresponsible persons or those who have fam- Ijjjes dependent upon them. We move the groggeries from the vicinage of our schools be jfcftuse of their influence upon the child mind. Then why not by law remove the saloon from the vicinity of lithe big manufacturing plants for the temptation they place in the fjjlfay of the poor devils whose nickels go direct from their pay en- J|i*lopes to the till of the whisky-seller. The saloon across the road or at the side of the big manufac turing plant is to be compared only to the highwayman who skulks jj£the dark awaiting his victim, for their presence in these districts ■p* but to take from the pockets of those employed in the near-by [Shops what belongs to others in their homes. They not only take the clothes from the backs of women and ■children, but the food from their mouths, and more; they are rob bing home after home of the happiness that might otherwise be They are responsible for the beating of wives and of children. And most serious of all becomes the responsibility of the grog f shop near the factory when the children of the fathers whose bodies |they poisoned, grow up a criminal class, to which end in the ma jority of cases must the dissipation of the parent lead. The removal of the rum dispensary from proximity to the 1 schools was a step in the right direction; restriction as to the loca tion of saloons in the residence districts was another. There is one more step necessary. And that is to prohibit the presence of the saloon almost under the paymaster's window in the manufacturing sections, as is the common practice in Detroit. If the presence of the saloon is an evil influence upon the school boy, it is a far greater evil when its beer sign looms up where it can entice into it only a class whose dollars come to them through the giving of the sweat of their brows and the strength of their bodies jin return. L Which are needed in homes for clothes for little ones and for bread for little mouths; Which dollars expended there on the part of the workingman }can only tend in the long run, in one way or another, to the end of Stephen Gewandowski and the pitiable and dependent condition of |those who will suffer most from his unhappy fate. Whether he struck Gewandowski a dozen times, the foreman will be exonerated because he was acting only to save himself, which jfs the right of every man under the law. He plainly attempted only to remove the laborer from the plant (where he was in all probability an annoyance and a source of hind rance to the progress of the day’s work. The fatal termination of the discharge of this duty, which was It the suggestion of an officer ranking higher than the foreman, is regretted probably by no one more than the foreman himself. The part that whisky plays in his case will place before him his lifl long the leering eyes of the poor devil lying there at his feet, •nd he will have suffered enough and innocently. 1 The foreman should go free. For the only indictment it is possible to return is against whisky ihnd the man who sold it to unfortunate Stephen Gewandowski. .rr t Why not ship ourselves. then, ns exce*H baggage?

A hi rung showing was made hy the Wholesalers’ association ol Detroit against the railroads o i tin* state in tho hearing before the stutc railroad commission in the couuty building Friday morning. Points brought out in the testimony of various witnesses by Attorney Al fred Lucking, for tne Wholesalers, were that the excess baggage rate is as high as I*4 3-4 per cent of the pas senger rute in some instances, in stead of being 16 3-3 per cent as i>er schedule; that every wholesale house in the state is paying thousands of dollars every year in excess baggage rates because of this unjust arrange ment of the tariff, and that wholesale merchants in other cities, whose trav elers make only the big towns, are given an advantage over Detroit houses which make all the towns. The hearing was called on complaint of Kdson, Moore Cos.. A. Krolik Cos., Burnham Stocpel Cos., the Mich igan Drug Cos. and others ugainwt ihe principal railroads in the state. Tho claim was made by Attorney Lucking in addressing Commissioners Glasgow, Scully and Dickinson, before witnesses were called, that the princi pal compluint is against the arbitrary minimum charge of 15 cents per 100 pounds on excess baggage, no matter what the distance. H. W. Millard, with Burnham Sloe pel A Cos., was the first and principal witness. He testified that the 65 salesmen of that firm carry an aver age of 1,500 pounds of excess baggage. The average journey between towns is 12 1-2 miles, and this charge has to be paid every time a salesman goes from one town to another, no matter if the distance be but two miles. The minimum rate of 15 cents, at the scale of excess baggage rates per 100 pounds being charged at one-sixth the fare Tor passenger, would be equiv alent. to a journey of 45 miles. Yet this charge is made for a one or two mile trip, Mr. Linking pointed out. Attorneys Butterfield, for the Shore, ami Stanley, for the Grand Trunk, took part occasionally In ver bal sparring matches with Lucking One of the spats came when he Intro duced a table of excess baggage rates and asked the witness If it were not true that the railroads all acted to gether in raising or lowering rates This the railroads’ attorneys objected to. One witness said he had timed the handling of his excess baggage by the railroad men and found it averaged a little more than one minute, yet he always had to pay a considerable sum for excess baggage. The testimony was also brought out to show that the railroads do not have to hire extra help for tho excess baggage in any manner of proportion to the charges. That the present high rates operate to hurt the small towns was indi cated by Lucking, the outlook being that wholesalers may have to skip some towns where expenses would eat up returns. This was testified to by Mr. Millard. The hearing took all morning and was not completed at the luncheon hour. The railroads will put a num ber of witnesses on the stand to prove that the rates are not excessive an 1 not higher than in other states. TAFT INSURED FOR £IOO,OOO NEW YORK.
