	"Stanley Ketchel decisively beat Jack O'Brien before a packed house at the National A.C. last night, only the gong depriving him of a knockout over the Philadelphia man. After being floored three times with savage smashes in the final round, O'Brien went down like a log from a fourth vicious blow and was motionless on his face when the bell clanged, just as Referee Tim Hurst completed the count of four. It was strength that told the tale in the bout, for Ketchel's showing was disappointing to his friends. Although in perfect trim, he was wild and ineffective at many stages and at two or three periods of the bout O'Brien had a good edge on points. O'Brien confined himself to straight punching, stepping in and out scientifically and meeting Ketchel's wild rushes with straight jolts to the face. At some moments it looked as if he would be able to stand off the westerner, who persisted in his wild swinging, but his strength was not equal to the task. Ketchel slowly wore him down and had him helpless in the last round. In the sixth, just after O'Brien had made a brilliant showing in the fifth round by his clever sparring, Ketchel showed his superior strength by flooring his man with a blow to the solar plexus. Long before the end of the bout, however, Ketchel was bleeding from the mouth and nose and his eye was badly swollen, while O'Brien showed the effects of punishment in badly cut eyes and split lips. The affair was notable as a species of social function, many well-known clubmen being seated around the ring. In O'Brien's corner were Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, Kid McCoy, Jack Egan and Jack Rowan, Ketchel was seconded by James Johnson, Johnny Frayne, Jimmy DeForest and Willus Britt. O'Brien wore long green trunks and Ketchel wore red tights. Sam Langford was introduced and challenged the winner. Owen Moran and Jack (Twin) Sullivan were also introduced. It was when the men received instructions and shook hands. From the tap of the gong the spectators were treated to as fast an exhibition of sparring on the part of O'Brien and of bull-like rushes on the part of Ketchel that could be seen anywhere. For a time the tide of the battle seemed to turn toward O'Brien, then Ketchel's (strength) told over the Philadelphia man's science and the end was in sight. The last round was dramatic in the extreme. O'Brien, carefully rubbed and evidently having partaken of some stimulant in the rest between the ninth and tenth rounds, came up briskly, but Ketchel was on him like a flash. Try as he would with desperate jabs to the face and mouth, O'Brien could not stop his rushes. Ketchel bored in, beating down the wearied arms of the Philadelphian, smashing him in the ribs with either fist and flooring him thrice in succesion. Then as O'Brien reeled unsteadily to his feet for the last time, Ketchel drew himself up and sent a hook with all his force to the jaw. O'Brien dropped face downward and the bell tolled as Hurst counted four."
