Packey Shows He Is a Heady
Fighter and Has a
Hard Punch.
Especial to The Evening world.)


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29.-Packey
Mcfarland. OF Chicago. last night made
good in his first fight In this city.
Fackey faced Young Loughrey, OF this
city, at the National A. c.. and tho
crowd. which filled about two-thirds OF
the seats in the big building. saw six
rounds OF the hottest kind of fighting.
Mcfarland proved himself to be a
good heady fighter. with a hard punch
in either hand, but he had in Loughrey
an opponent who could fight at just a
tired, no matter how hard he was ham
mered In every round he forced the
fghting. but Packey caught him conf
ing In with hard swings and right up
percuts at close range. Loughrey
pounded his opponents body, but
Packey calmly waited for openings and
shot in damaging right uppercuts to
the local fighters face.
No one in the house expected the
hsnt to go one full round in the OPEN
ing session. Packey hammered LouSh-
rey severely about the body and face
and once knocked him down The same
was true OF the second, when Loughrey
went down again. In the third round
Mcfarland sent Loughrey down for the
third time, but the latter fought back
savaEely. In each of the last three
rounds McFarland appeared TO have
held his own in the numerous mix-ups.
Both were tired out a the finish, with
Mcfarland bleeding from the ear and

BOSTON. Mass. Jan. ce.-Matty Bald
win and Kid Goodman. OF Bos on. met
last night for the third time before TIE
Arnory A. A, and the former was given
the decision after the battle had gone
the limit OF twelve rounds.
In their previous meetings Baldwin
got the decision in the first battle on
points (Which was questionable one),
and their second meeting was draw"
although the impression was that Good
man should have been given the big
end OF the purse.
The bout last night was one OF the
best exhibitions held in this city. Both
men were in excellent condition and
fought at all times. Their work con-
sisted mostly OF hammering on the
body, 1t having little effect, owing to
their fine shape.
Baldwin did most OF the leading, and
but for the fourth and last rounds had
the better OF the go.
Goodman in the last round sent Bald
wins head back with short right
i,lt to the jaw that staggered him. but
he recovered in a few seconds, and
managed 10 stick It out to the finish.
The decision was well received.
From all indications Baldwin will lie
matched to meet Packey Mcfarland be-
fore the same club at a future date.

The third race was Friday night in

trouble: Haskins and / both broke at
the start. We went back. Then he
made three false starts. According to
the A. A. U. rules he should have been
penaliZed Ave yards for each offense. l
didn't demand the penalties and the
starter didn't impose them.
When we started Haskins got the
pole. on the third lap he lost his foot
ing on a sharp turn and swung wide.
Ihere was plenty of room to pass and l
went by inside of him. AS / didn't
touch him that was perfectly fair.
Il was Very careful. TO run close to
the pole SO that he would have to go
outside TO pass me. On the curves ]
ran stepping on the mark with my left
foot at every stride on the last lap,
finding he couldn't go fast enough to
get by on the outside, Haslins deliber-
ately ran into me on the inside, striking
me with the side OF his thigh and push
ing me away from the pole. Then he
swung his right arm forward and
the face with the heel of his wrist so
hard that he drove me up on the bank
l came back down the bank and struck
him with my right fist. Yes. l meant to
do ii. was only returning blow for
blow. ! wouldn't have struck back II
there had been more time TO think.
<<THEN I stopped as he fell and
Cartmel, the Penn. track cap

me glancing blow on the side OF the
face. This was In front of the crowd.

striking me, and so should Cartmell.
