Malachy Hogan in the Chicago Rec ord Herald says:
 Battling Nelson seems likely to get his so with Packie Mcfarland. Thls does not except the chance that Mo Far!and has of tying up for big purse with some other boxer of his weight at Goldfield or some other western camp. Packie says that he Is willing to meet Nelson, but it seems likely that a ten-round go at Milwaukee will be the next encount- CT for the stockyards boy.
 Particular interest centers in sucn a bout as both men are local prod ucts. Nelson put Hegewisch on the map and has always held up his end in the arena Mcfarland is nom looming up as the strongest factor d his class That he could have a 20 with Cans If ne so desired is certain. But he says that he does not want to get on with the colored champion be- fore another year
 Netherlands career has been map- ped out very systematically. and his handling has contributed, in 5reSl part, to his success in the ring. No matter now good a young boxer ma, be, he needs experience before he faces the top-notchers of his div1sivni. Every veteran of the ring has a trick or two up his sleeve that he can put over in an emergency, and it is. wise thing for a yorng man to avoid meeting the generals. of his calling until he has some experience oT his own along this line.
 ,.s-s of Mcfarland has been nothing short of phenomenal It shows that all the comment about the ring not offering the opportunity for young man that it did several years ago is without foundation. John l.. Sullivan often bat;led in an imporant go for far less than the lightweights of today can demand, if they are in the top notch division.
 Nelson secured the bout, but it was largely because Mcfarland named hi'u as his next opponent. When Nelson broke away from Billy Nolan he allowed himself to be influenced by some followers of the game wno suggested impossible conditions in one or two of his bouts. AS a result, he seems to be in disfavor with some of the Frisco promoters. Any one of the contingent is ready to put him on with Mcfarland, however.
 Both the Sullivan twins, Mike anu Jack, nave loomed up as factors in their own divisions. But outide Of this I do not recall a single case when any man was dangerous to the
  to have an edge in another section Of the ring. .
 For instance, Sam and Harry liar Tis were both good boys, but they al ways had McGovern standing out as possible opponent for them The same way with Clarence and Harry Forbes. The second bout between Harry Forbes and McGoyern was one of the latest I have ever witnessed at that weight. But Terry was too strong at the end.
 Terry's own brother, Hughey Me Govern, was touted as a factor at one time, but he failed to deliver the goods. Jim Jeffries tried out his brother Jack and worked to make a good scrapper of him. The effort was of no avail, however.
 The Bezenah family, down in Gin cinaati did well in their various di- visions. But none of them ever be came really dangerous. althought Gus Bezenah at one time seemed likely tC. give considerable trouble to the 115-pounders.
 Packie McFarland's sudden break "ith Manager Harry Gilmore Jr., has proved one oF the surprises UI tue week, and there are many who will not hesitate to say that the little boxer is making mistake He ad- mits that he. has had no complaint to make of the way he had been handled, as he has been rushed into the front rank within a single year without ever being hurried or eez: against a man who would give him setback. He thinks that he ican handle his own affairs, but he will frequently find that at many clubs of this country there's many a slip between the box office and JHe pocket.
 Philadelphia Jack O'Brien is about the only man I know who made a consistent showing as manager of his own affairs. Jack certainly got the money and that was what he was after.
 One bout which is provoking more smiles than interest in ring circles is the bout scheduled for Monday, May II, between Tommy Burns and Bill Squires. This go is to be held near Chelsea, England, and there is some talk oS pulling it off in the open air. It is said that a plan Is on foot to utilize cricket field and to have the grand stand as the reserved seat section. s.
 The chances of Squires are regard ed as Imaginable over here, but it Is said the Australian contingent in London thinks we'll enough of Bill to back him, anyway. A fair house is expected, judging from the interest shown in the go. .-..
