Mcfarland Must Give
In to the Champion
If He viii Not 90 F0rfy-fye
Rounds He Should Stop
Talking

Will Battling Nelson defend his title
against Packey Mcfarland within the
next three months and will the Chicago
stockyards fighter consent to go the 45
round route with the champion? These
are the questions uppermost in the
minds Of the followers of the pugilistic
game, and everybody is hoping that
they will be answered to the satisfac-
tion of the public before the edge
wears Off the present interest in the
match.
1t looked a week ago as though there
was not a chance in the world for the
meeting, but as the days fit by each
man seems inclined to come bit nearer
the crucial point. The eagerness which
Packey has displayed within the last
few days has led many to believe that
the champion will be piqued into Civ
ing him chance long before he In
tended.
But before there is anything stirring
Mcfarland will have to take tumble
off that lofty perch where he has been
chirping since he became a factor in

He has proved TO be a great card on

performed creditably on the local
sward. He possesses great speed, hav-
ing led such fast hounds as Walla

133 starters, and will retain the honor
for another year. He won by up and
county, n. j., at the Garden City clubs
links this afternoon.
Throughout the weeks play the
young champion was in excellent form
and played the best golf of his life.
Travers was prime favorite for to-
days final, as the experts figured that
Behr could not set a pace fast enough
for him. Trayers made several mis-
takes in play on his tee shots, but in
variably made fine recoveries and at
the close of the first half (S holes) he
was up without showing any signs
of weakening.
Behr held him on many holes, but
Travers always had bit in reserve

Northern Powers Insist
on Four More Clubs
Ewing and Berry Return After
a FruifIesS Conference With
DugdaIe and Lucas

The Pacific coast league and the
northwest league are as far from be-
ing on peaceable terms now as they
ever were and. if anything. the beach
is widening. President ]. Cal Ewing
and Manager Henry Berry of the An
gels returned from their northern mis-
sion yesterday without having accom-
plished anything.
AS predicted exclusively In The Call
Manager Dugdale of the Seattle team
and President Lucas Of the northwest
league are holding out for four north
ern clubs and they refuse to do any
business with the southern magnates
unless the latter consent to meet their
terms.
Ewing had already granted fran
chises to the Venice and Sacramento
teams and could net well upset this
combination and enter into a pact with
the northerners. Unless some change
is brought about swiftly the Pacific
coast league will be made up of one
northern and six southern teams next
season.
1t is likely that Ewing will call a
meeting of the officers of the league to
talk over the situation with the hope
of taking some action that might meet
with the approval of the northern pow
ers.
