CROSS MEETS PACKEY
MCFARLAND TONIGHT

NEW YORK, October 21.-Leach Cross
gets the try-out OF his life tonight when
he meets Packey Mcfarland. and the re-
suit of the bout will determine just how
much championship material there is in
his makeup. Packey is the class He
has experience and he has never been
beaten. Cross has; but he had his colors
lowered when he was a mere STRIPPING.
He met the men again who beat him
and in most cases defeated them de-
cisively. Mcfarland went along in wild
fire fashion until he met Freddie Welsh.
Two long fights failed to give him an
advantage. Up to this time Packey was
looked upon as nearly invincible Welsh.
Bert Keyes and Young Loughrey are
the best men he has met. Cross has
fought both Keyes and Loughrey. Nc
Farland's great stock in trade is his
speed. He fights like a wildcat and he
never stops going. He comes out of
his corner on the run, swings both
hands simultaneously and he keeps
swinging. He hit Loughrey so fast and
so often that the Philadelphia boy was
simply smothered with blows. But he
wasn't stung. Packey seemed to hit true
that night, but he didn't make his man
back up. He was very tired boxer at
the end. and had Loughrey q semblance
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-10-21

of punch himself he would have had
Mr. Packey in hot water.
The most noticeable thing about Pack
ey's work in that fight was his ability
to hit from any angle. No matter how
he stood or where his man was he could
bring over right or left and land clearly.
Even when he missed he would spin
around like IA top and Loughrey would
get couple of cracks on the jaw before
he fully realized where the blows came
from. Iackey always smiles when he
fights. He seems to like the action of a
battle and the grin never leaves his
face.
There is a question as to how Cross
Will act before a man who cuts out the
heartbreaking pace that Packey sets. Up
to now Cross has more than held his own
with men who came at him. He is. or
always has been, a fighter who waited
for his man and counted on his hard
punch to win for him when the other fell
low came tearing In. Battling Hurley
did the rush act and ran into a knock
out crack in the first round Cross doesn't
seem frightened when facing a man with
a stiff punch He walked into Fitz-
gerald and beat him to the punch. But
the question to be settled in this fight
is can Cross get set for a hard poke at
the Chicago cyclone when he is coming
at Vanderbilt cup speed? There never
was a faster lightweight in the bust
ness taking Packey all round Cross has
never been fully extended, but he will
be tonight and he will have to make the
fight Of his career to Offset the speed of
the little Irishman. 1t is going to be a
fight. Depend upon that. now:
