THE PUCILlSTS
The Champion of Stock Yards Outpointsd Harlem Fighter in
 Six Round Bout.

Philadelphia, Nov 19.--By unload ing every bit of lighting ammunition he had in stock, Packey Mcfarland outpointed Harlem Tommy Murphy in their six round bout at the Nation al A. c. last night. The stock yards champion showed the better ring generalshlp and in the first three rounds had his opponent bewildered by his whirlwind attacks.
 When Murphy solved the western CTS boring style he made a desperate attempt to even up. In the fourth and fifth rounds Murphy was master, but Mcfarland came back in the sixth and the round was even. New Workers at the ringside yelled Draw" and Murphy" so loudly after the bout that there was no mis- taking their loyalty to the plucky Harlem fighter. Before the principals in the main bout appeared challenges to the Win ner were read from Bert Reyes, Young Loughrey, Young Erne, Jem Driscoll, Leach Cross and Jack Black burn. Joe Cans. the former light weight champion, was introduced and he was accorded great welcome. In Murphy's corner were John Oli- yer, Frank Howe. Kid Howard and Frank Mccormick. Mcfarland was cared for by Harry Gilmore, Jr, Pat Kinneally, George Cole and Al Lippe. Both boys weighed in under 133 pounds at 3 o'clock yesterday after noon and when they entered the ring each acknowledged rounds of ap- pIause and confidently awaited the gong.
 After shaping hands, Murphy missed left swing for the face, and Mcfarland, grinning, but careful, sidestepped. while Tommy made an- other ineffective attempt to reach the westerner. Murphy was crowded to the ropes, when Mcfarland hooked two lefts to the head. Rights and lefts were sent to Murphy's face, but Tommy landed some clean, hard body punches, and the round was even.
 Mcfarland tried uppercutting fre- quently in the second round and land- ed several at short range on Murphy's chin, but Tommy didn't totter under the attac. A left hook landed flush on Murphy's chin, but Tommy feint- ed and shot over right to the ribs. Packey closed in after landing hard right on Tommy's ear, and Murphy was backing against the ropes at the bell. Mcfarland had the better of | the round.
 After exchaning left swings in the third round, Mcfarland staggered Murphy with terrific right to the jaw. Tommy clinched and McFar- land tried to shake him off and get in a knockout punch, but Tommy kept his arms around his opponents $ waist until Referee Jack McGuigan pried the fighters apart. A hard right to the heart and right upper | cut to the chin were landed cleanly by Mcfarland before the bell came | to the resuce of Murphy.
 Murphy fought better in the fourth round and forced Packey to clinch to | avoid punishment. Tommy played
 for the body and sent straight lefts and rights to the heart. Mcfarland, | after breaking ground for minute, came back fast and regained his lead 1 before the round ended.
 In the fifth a right to the jaw sent | Murphy reeling to the ropes, but he recovered quickly and did his best work of the fight during this round. Murphy planted hard right on
 Packey's chest and before the west erner could land punch Tommy sent his right to the jaw twice and left hook opened the flesh over Nc Farland's right eye. Each landed d
 left to the jaw and Murphy drove his 1 right to the body before the bell end ed the round. It was Murphy's I round by big margin.
 Both fighters bounded to the cen.
 ter of the ring eagerly for the sixth
 and last rounds. They rushed into a clinch and Murphy sent right to
 the heart in the breakaway. McFar-
 lang swung left to the chest and
 Murphy whipped whipped his right
 over to the jaw and they clinched.
 Murphy landed four hard punches to
 the body. Packey's right rained punches on Tommy's head and before the Harlem fighter could land Mo
 Farland swung left and right to the
 face. Right swings to the body were
 exchanged, and Murphy hooked two
 lefts to the jaw before the bell ended | the bout.
 Joe Choynski, who has been in re. | tirement for some time, says that he
 wants to take another crack at the
 heavyweight championship. He has

 condition and is sure that he is not

 and Mccoy. Few veteran ring fol- lowers will ever forget his battle
 with Joe Walcott, the giant killer,
 who knocked him out in quick slugging match at the Broadway A. c. Choynski's fight with Mccoy at
 the same club was one of the most sensational ever seen in the ring.
 The fact that Mccoy recently tried to come back, though unsuccessfully, probably made Choynski feel that he still had chance. Perhaps Kauf-
