GOODMAN VS.. MCFARLAND.
Boston Kid Agrees to Match With Now
Western Wonder.

Boston. March 15.-Kid Goodman. to
prove that he has not retired from tho
ring has accepted an offer to box
Paceie Mcfarland. the new Western
wonder whose victory over Joe Gilligan
brought him so much prominence. at
Davenport, la. Jimmy Gardner negotiat-
ed the match and will go West with
Goodman. They sent for transportation
yesterday and expect the tickets today
and TO have the date definitely set.
Goodman says the report that he is
matched to box at Chelsea is news to
him. He doesn't think very well of such
a proposition. Goodman is not in thu
fighting game for love and would not
get mich more substantial If he appeared
at Chelsea.
If Mcfarland defeats Goodman. Gard
ncr will bring him back East and train
him at his resort at Ashton. r. I. Gard
nor has bought a home for himself and
his family down there and expects to
make it the big training camp of the
Fast. 1t was reported some time ago
that Billy Gardner had established this
camp. but now this settles it that Jimmy
will be the proprietor of the place.
Gardner is ready to meet Honey Mel
lody at the welterweight limit and will
ies,,e a challenge to him for the cham
pionship and will post $1,000 to bind the
match.

Efforts Made to Match
Briggs and Desh|er.
Kid Goodman will Meet New
Western Wonder.
Latter Will Soon Issue Challenge
To Honey Melody.

Boston, March 15.-Efforts are being
made to Bring Jimmy Briggs and Dave
Deshler together for the main event at
the next meeting of the Winnisimmet
Club. Should such match be clinched
the members would be sure to see some
real live boxing. for with Briggs and
Deshler at it there is always something
doing
OcsEler is also wanted by the Thorn
ton Club matchmakers to meet Rouse
OBren, and the only hitch between the
two is the old question of weight.
Deshler says as he is a lightweight. he
will box at the lightweight figures 133
pounds. and under no consideration will
he erdeavor to make lower weight.
Providing the men can come to some
kind of an agreement the Thornton
Club is ready to put them on. O'Brien's
recent showing against Matty Baldwin
has made him a big favorite with the
Rhode Island sports, who are ready to
back him against any of the light
weights.

Soft-Shelled EGGS.

II is generally believed that the
soft.shelled egg occasionally laid by
the hen is due TO deficiency of lime in
the food Some experiments carried
out at the experiment station in Kan.
sas, however, seem to indicate that
this is not the right explanation. 1t
rather appears to be a case of arrest
ed development due to nervous shock,
and to be analogous to abortion in
mammals. Soft-shelled eggs were laid
at the experiment station by hens sub.
jected to nervous excitement. And it
was shown that on an ordinary diet
a hens normal system contains
enough lime for the shells of five or
