To Try Racing Under Anti
Gambling Laws.
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

lOpecIdi DLspdtch 10 ne OduI
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan 15.-The
opening tomorrow of Suburban's winter
meeting was commented upon by a
number of prominent people yesterday
and. although there is no doubt that
there will be plenty of individual
betting at the track, the general opin-
ion seems to be that the Locke law,
prohibiting the operation of a bet
ting book, pari mutuel, or pool selling,
will be enforced.
A sloppy track is inevitable to mar
the opening days sport, but few of the
owners of horses entered in the six
races manifested any intention to do
any scratching. and the fields look
good enough to furnish interesting con-
tests.
Churchmen and lawyers here. who
aided in the crusade which resulted in
the enactment of the Locke law intend
ed to prohibit gambling on the races,
express confidence that the law Will
be enforced, and among them Arch
bishop Blenck stated last night that the
opening across the river caused MIN
no uneasineSS.
Judge Murphy thinks well of the
prospects for the meeting, and says 1t
will be the best ever held on the
Suburban course. He says that the
right kind of horses are here to make
a good meeting, including some of the
best horses ever raced over half mile
course. Some extensive owners will
race their strings, among whom are
Dick Watkin, Pat Civil. Rome Respess,
Tony McCafferty and Simon.
The officials of the meet are: Pre-
siding Judge and racing secretary, Jo-
seph A. Murphy; associated, Hart Dean
ham; timer. W. w. Lyles; starter, Ar
thur Mcknight; entry clerk and pad
dock judge, Hart Deanham; clerk of
scales. John B.. Campbell president and
manager, A. Rouprich; secretary, An

HYLAND STRONG TN
FIGHT WITH
PACKEY
Science Gives Chicagoan Shade
the Best of Ten Round
Bout on Points
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.-Packey
Mcfarland can never hope to get a
championship match with Battling Nell
son, if his showing here last night can
be taken at its face value, for at the
end Of the 10 rounds of lighting before
the Pacific athletic club he had a shade
the best of it in the way of scientific
boxing and points. but, considering the
man with the punch, Hyland showed to
the best advantage. There were no
knockdowns, and the only blood spilled
was a little that trickled from Hyland' s
nose in the third round.
Mcfarland was a 2 to l favorite when
he entered the ring, and he lost some
money for some of his friends who bet
that he would stop Hyland in the 10
rounds. Packey looked drawn as he
climbed through the ropes, as If making
133 pounds at O'Clock in the afternoon
did not agree with him. He was the
aggressor all the way in every round,
and, perhaps. little too much so, fer,
in his anxiety to land on Hyland, he
hooks and jabs. He was willing enough,
but his apparent desire to finish things
prevented him from being effective.
Hyland, while on the defensive in a
way, was always ready to mix things
with his rangy opponent, and, while he
was outboXed. he made up for the dis
advantage by good intighting. In every
clinch he worked his speciality of a hard
downward smash on McFarland's kid
neys, and at the conclusion of the battle
Packey's back was red and slightly
puffed from the constant hammering.
This kidney smash in a 20 round con-
test of endurance might have won the
victory for Hyland but in a 10 round
boxing match it was not effective
enough.
number of sports in the fair sized
crowd thought that a draw would have
been fair thing for both men.
