PAcKY WANTS TO MEET NELSON
Thinks He Is as Muck EntitIed to
Match RS Anyone.

NEW YORK. April 3.-Packy Mcfarland,
the Chicago lightweight who made Leach
Cross look cheap in their recent bout at
the F'airmont Athletic club, is as much
entitled to a match with Battling Nelson
for the lightweight title as anybody. McFar-
land is one of the most scientific little men
that ever got into the ring. He is a boxer
of the Jim Drescoll school. but is not a
particularly hard hitter. Still there seems
to be no doubt that in a limited round bout.
say of twenty-five rounds. he would be
able to stay with Nelson, If only because
of his extremely clever defensive tactics.
He is as fast on his feet as a squirrel.
He is quick witted, knows how to luck and
dodge, can feint beautifully and is also able
to shoot his punches TO the mark. Head
work is always a potent factor In the
success of a first class pugilist and McFar-
land rates with the best of them in this
respect. II he had Leach Cross punching
power it is believed that Mcfarland would
be as invincible a lightweight as any since
the days OF McAuliffe and Lavigne. At
chat he can punch with enough strength TO
put a weakened opponent down, but II
would require a long bout for him to
accomplish such a result.
McFarland's performance suggested a
bout with Owen Moran, IL the latter can
agree to fight at 15 pounds at 6 o'clock.
Driscoll took Cross on 1876 at 5 O'Clock,
while Mcfarland and CROSS made this
weight two hours later. Moran is not far
behind Driscoll in fighting skill, and that
is why he seems 10 be a logical opponent
for the Chicago man, who prefers, how
even. a bout with Nelson.

TOD SLOAN MAY RIDE IN AMERICA
Rumor Has ~ that he wants License
Renewed.

LONDON. April 3.-Emanating from an
unknown source comes a rumor that Tod
Sloan, the once we'll known American
Jockey, proposes to ask for a renewal OF
his license to ride I'm this country II can
hardly be that there is truth in such a
statement, for apart from the extreme i'm
probability of a favorable answer being
given to such a request, his long absence
from the saddle hardly suggests that he
is likely to have retained the nerve and
marvellous knowledge Of pace to which he
owed his success.
That Sloan and his methods did, to a
great extent, revolutionize race-riding as
practiced by English riders can hardly be
denied. for at the period when he made his
first appearance In this country with the
seat so aptly described by Lord Durham
as being that Of a monkey on a barrel
organ English races were ridden as
jockey races as distinct from horse races.
By this is meant that only jockey would
wait on another. dodge about to get first
run" and trust to get the race by n bril-
liant finish, ignoring more often than not
the question of the pace which the animals
they were riding could or could not main
tain for a given distance.
The arrival of Sloan, trained as he was
to calculate pace to a nicely by constant
riding against the clock, soon altered that
state of affairs. and It gradually came
about that following his example to the
best OF their ability. English horsemen
took to running their races, through from
end to end. Few of them, however, could
fairly cope with the American rider, among
those who best could do so being the
brothers Loates, Tommy Loates in particu-
lar "short-heading" Sloane on more than
one occasion. The crouching seat intro
duced by Sloan has given rise to endless
controversy, but it may be fairly granted
that, rightly used, IL does enable the. rider
to avoid a considerable amount of wind
pressure, and therefore lessons the effort
required from the horse; but except In the
hands of an artist" the disadvantages of
this method of riding go far to counter
Sloan's conduct on the turf here was
such that there is practically no chance Of
his reinstatement.

YALE CREW LEAVES FOR RACE
Meets Pennsylvania on SchuylEin
During Easter Vacation.


NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 3.-Athletic
interest at Yale this week has been most
closely concerned with the departure Of
the varsity crew for the dual two-mile
race with the University OF Pennsylvania
on the Schuylkill in the Easter vacation
Kennedy, the coach, has created a crew
from green material which is we'll up to
Yale's best standard. and, while it is
known here that the Quakers nave one Of
their fastest Fights in recent years. Yale
will prove a tough proposition for Penn
sylvania.
The shells OF the eight will be sent to
the University Boat club Headquarters, on
the Schuylkill. which will be the training
quarters of the oarsmen while they are in
Philadelphia. They nave engaged rooms at
the Hotel Stanton, where they will have
their training table. They have decided to
row the race in their English shell. which
has the oarsmen sitting in zigzag fashion.
This will, be the first time an American
university crew has rowed a race in. such
a she'll. Captain Howe will take two
Fights along, the second to row daily

MAY CHANGE GOLF PRO DATES
ConHict Has Set the PrOmoters to DO
some FtEurlnE.

NEW YORK. April S.-There is every
likelihood that the Eastern Professional
Golfers association will change the date
for its annual championship tournament,
originally set for May IS and 81 at Scars
dale. The reason for this is the conflict
in dates with the two Metropolitan cham
pionsbips. which also fall that same week.
Herbert Strong, secretary OF the profess
sionai body, said a few days ago that In
all probability Tuesday and "WEDNESDAY.
May IS and 10, would be substituted. There
was some talk OF running off the Eastern
Immediately prior TO the national open,
which will take place at E~nglewood on
Thursday and Friday, June "a and %, An
objection to this is that the pros" by de-
voting the early part OF that week to the
practice for the national event to the
eastern would rave no opportunity for
practice for the national event at Ehgle-
wood. AS the matter now stands. the new
dates mentioned, May is and 10, nlmedi-
stely precede the Invita- ton tournament OF
the Nassau County club, the last three
days of the week.
The New Jersey state championship tour
nament is scheduled for Montciair, early
in June and It is understood that the pro-
gram will be similar to those in previous
years. This means that there will be prizes
for practically as many s~ixteens as return
cards. Jerome D. Travers of Montclair
won the New Jersey title for the second
time at Englewood a wear ago. He will be
unable to defend because of his foreign
trip in quest of the title In Great Britain.

tournaments Princeton won the team prize,
last year by only one stroke from the
Garden City entry, but on account of ex-
animation on neither occasion could the
college boys stay over for the match play.
Four sets of sixteen will qualify for the

YALE WANTS BETTER RECORD
Works TO Redeem HOnOrs Lost to
Harvard Last Year.

Harvard Last Year.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 3.-There
appears to be q determined policy at Yale
university to follow a campaign OF athletic
training this year that will assure Ell
Representatives being in the best possible
physical form for the seasons work. Tho
last year in athletics was not a successful
one for Yale. Harvard won the foot ball
game, base ball series, crew race and
hockey match, the only victory recorded
by the New Havenites being In track. A
spirit OF revenge now pervades the atmos-
phere at Yale, and Harvard must needs
battle skilfully and fiercely during the
present year IL 1t is to retain the laurels
snatched from the brow of its old and
honored rival.
Easter week will mark the real opening
of the outdoor season and incidentally an
innovation in Yale athletics. With the
closing of college for the spring recess the
crew men, base ballists and track athletes
gather up the paraphernalia and leave
New Haven for different training grounds.
In former years the base ball team has
taken spring southern trips, but the send
ing of the sweep swingers and the track
men away from the Elm City shows a
different and improved system in vogue
at Yale. The benefits derivable from the
spring training week cannot be overesti-
mated. and it certainly looks as though
the Bulldog was going to leave no stone
unturned to best the Cambridge institution.
The foot ball team will not be idle and
the spring gridiron work is expected to
~foretell in no certain degree the prospects
of the coming seasons doings on the
gridlron at New Haven. The centers and
ouarterbacks have been working all winter
in the gymnasium under the direction Of
Captain Coy, and present indications make
it seem certain that Yale is determined
more than ever to place the Blue" in a
position where it can look down upon the
college world with a sense of true athletic
SUPERIORITY.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 3.-The classic

country, as shown in the official returns
just Issued by Secretary Wilson.
A total OF 1,2ss mares have been named

which are so familiar TO t~rotting horsemen,
this excellent showing is very gratifying

NEW YORK. April S.-The probabilities
are tina John svanberg. the Swedish dis
lance runner, and Pat White, the champion
of Ireland, will meet shortly in another
match race. Negotiations are pending be-
tween the managers of the two men for a
fifteen-mile contest outdoors, TO take place

defeat at the hands of White in a ten-mile

Svanberg practically lost what chance he
had Of starting in the marathon derby at
the Polo grounds today.
Svanberg tripped in that race and fell,
losing many yards before he got goinI
again. He claims TO be better at fifteen
than at ten miles, and IL a date can be
decided upon and the place for holding the
race found there is little doubt that they
will be matched. White is more than
anxious to take another whirl at Swan

lost when he was forced to quit in his

DoNLN MAY VISIT IN EUROPE
And the Fans May Not See Hin in
Giant Uniform.

NEW YORK. April S-Mike Donlin,
captain and right fielder of the New York
Giants, may never play base ball again.
Donlin will probably retire from the ma
tional game permanently, not because he
cannot get 5000 a year from the New
York club, but for the reason that his
health is said to be failing and that a
physician has advised him never again to
put on a uniform. As proof that Donlin
will not be with the Giants this year, 1t
is reported that the great player and his
wife. Mabel Hite, has engaged passage to
Europe on July 10 and will not return to
America until some time in the fall.
