BOXING BRIEFS.

Packey Mcfarland the Chicago light
weight, will train at Essington, Pa, for
his six-rOund bout with Tommy Murphy,
which will come off at the National A c.
of Philadelphia, November IS. Packey and
his manager, Harry Gilmore, and his
trainer. Pat Kenneally. will leave New
York for that town today to get in shape
for the contest. II will be in grand con-
dition for Murphy said Mcfarland last
night "as Murphy is great fighter and
l will have to be at my best in order to
beat him.
Jack Twin Sullivan. the New Eng
land lightweight. last night received a
telegram from San Francisco asking him
his terms to go to Australia and help
train Tommy Burns for his twenty-round
battle with Jack johnson for the heavy
weight championship title December %
Sullivan wired back that he must get
transportation both ways and $500 besides.
1t is not likely that his terms will be ac-
cepted.
Jim Pendergast. the promising heavy
weight pugilist of Boston has been
matched to meet Jack Twin Sullivan
for ten rounds at a show to be held at
Halifax, n. s., tomorrow night. Fender
CAST recently knocked out Bill Warren,
the Australian heavyweight. in a few
rounds in New England. and some of the
fight critics of Boston seem to think that
Twin Sullivan and Young Mahoney of
Milwaukee will clash in the semi-f final for
ten rounds.
Willus Britt, manager of Battling Nell
son, is now looking after the affairs of
Marvin Hart, the Louisville heavyweight
Willus will try to clinch a match between
Hart and AL Kaufman, to be fought in
California the latter part of this month
if Hart is successful in beating John
Willie, the Chicago pugilist, in their six
round bout at the National A. c. of Phila-
delphia November IA. Britt seems to
think that Hart can give Kaufman a
hard fight.
Abe Attell. the featherweight champion
of the world, is going out of his class
again to fight a lightweight. He was
matched last night to meet Freddie
Welsh. the English scrapper. in fifteen
round bout at special show to be pulled
off by the Jeffries A. c. in it's arena at
Los Angeles. Cal. Thanksgiving day aft
ernoon They will battle at 40 pounds.
weigh in at . pm, and Attell is to re-
ceive $4,000 for his end, while Welsh will
get 10 per cent of the gross receipts. 1t
ought to be one of the cleverest battles
ever wi messed in California. both lads
are scientific boxers and fairly good
punchers

of men and women, busily spelling out the
backward writing of the bulletins.
But when decisive announcement OF
any sort was flashed-and it mattered not
whether it favored Bryan or Taft. for

Defendants Make Denial.

When the trio appeared at police head
quarters, shortly before noon, to be meas
ured and photographed. the police recalled
that three men answering their descrip-
tons obtained $40 from Conrad P. Helms
of BOIL Cambridge place about six months
ago. One had introduced himself as Mr..
Bancroft, and when Smith was searched
the police found in his pocket a card
bearing the name Mr.. James. Bancroft
Eppes." Denials were entered by the three
men under arrest, each saying he was
not acquainted with the others, although,
the police charge, the three had been to-
gether at the same hotel.
Wrenn explained to the police last night
that he met the man. who gave his name
as Barney Smith, and went with him to
a hotel billiard parlor to play pool while
waiting for more definite information
from the election. Two other men ap-
peared and became interested in the
game. The result was that Clark, who is
alleged to have represented he was pro-
prietor of the establishment, was given
$40 to hold. Wrenn charges that he fol-
lowed Clark to 18th and F streets, i'm
portuning him to return the money. The
stranger, he says, finally gave back 500
They were at 18th and F streets at that
time. Wrenn then followed Clark to 14th
street, and losing patience with Clark

great conglomeration of personal and pa
