Jack Farrell, the colomd fcatherweighl
OF this city boxed ten rounds with Monk
Robinson, the Washington lightweight
at Stubener's road house, on the Blan
denbnrg road, Washington, d. C., Jan
ID. Though Robinson was fifteen pounds
heavier than the local feather, he was
clearly outclassed in cleverness, punch
ing power and foot work. In the third
round Farrell slipped against one of the
badly that he was compelled to depend
solely on the left during the remainder
of the bout. He did the bulk of the
leading, and scored repeatedly on Monk 8
body with left jabs and left hooks. At
the end Of the tenth round referee Pat
Raedy awarded the decision to Farrell on
points. The bout was simply try-out
for Farrell, and he fully came up to the
expectation OF his manager Mike Car
ney, of the Spa Athletic Club. Carney
is anxious to match Farrell against
Arthur Jones for any amount up to $3.50
a side.
Ii Kid Mccoy really wants a fight
there is no reason why he should not
be matched at once. Mccoy knows, or
should know, that Corbett and Fitz
will not meet him. They have good
reasons why they won't. The best one is
because Mccoy hasn't met one OF the
lesser heavy-weights. When he has
scored a victory over Choynski or
Maher he will have no trouble getting
on a match for the championship. The
best way for Mccoy to start is to accept
an offer Of the matchmaker of the
Olympic Club, OF Athens, Pa. He is
willing to offer a purse of $500
for limited round contest between
Mccoy and Choynski, and will post
5000 of the purse with a reliable man
in this city. He means business and
will do as he agrees. Choynski is anx-
ous to meet Mccoy and has forfeit
posted with Al Smith. He, as is per-
fectly right wants the match at catch
weights. Mccoy will add to his popu-
larity by arranging bout with Choynski
at once.
James J. Corbett and Referee George
Silcr met at the Auditorium Annex yes

paper men to talk over their alleged diff

tween them for years
Kid Mcfarland is suffering from an
accident which is likely to keep him

striking his head against radiator.
Mcfarland received an ugly cash, and
the blood flowed freely. A surgeon put
three stitches in the wound.

''Pcdlar' Palmer, in response to
Sammy Kelly's challenge to meet

is to take place in London before the
club giving the largest purse and side
bet.
Parson Davies, Peter Jackson's former
manager, in discussing the coming
Maher-Jackson mill, said: 81 am satis-

one Of the greatest pugilists known to
fstiana."
