''PACKEY' BOXES TO FORM
Dick HyIand 0utpOlnted in a
Fast Ten-Round Bout.

Combining the speed OF an Attell with the
hitting power Of a Nelson. 'Packey' Nc
Fariand. the great lightweight from the
Chicago stockyards. earned the popular de-
cision over Fighting Dick Hyland in
ten-round bout at the Fairmont Athletic
Club. OF The Bronx. last night The bout
was a slasher from start 10 finish and
blow followed blow with amazing rapidity.
Every little trick known TO those VINO fol
low the sport Of hit, stop and get away
was called into use by these leading eX-
ponents Of the manly art.
This bout marked the Chicago lads first
appearance in local arenas since he de
cisively outpointed Leach Cross at the old
National Club two years ago. and the
largest crowd that ever attended a bout in
the Fairnont club witnessed the meeting.
Mcfarland looked to be stronger and more
robust than on his previous visit He
weighed at least 40 pounds last night.
AS in the bout with Goodman. who in all
likelihood will he matched with MCFar-
land. Hyland was pitted against q man
who was his superior i'm scientific boxing.
TIyland is a fighter pure and simple and
f-ils to show TO advantage in q short bout.
Mcfarland. on the other hand. is one of
the shiftiest men in the business, and. with
his speed. IS the possessor Of q mighty
punch.
'Packev'' started right away 10 make 3
clever bout Of II and pounded Dicks face
with a short. snappy lab that had the lat
ter confused. Despite the jab, however.
the rugged lad from the Golden Gate bored
in and tried 10 put in the knockout blow
"'Packev'' was not 10 be caught mapping
snd poked away with the left until Dicks
face was swollen and sore. "Packey'' played
for the face almost continuously. but Hy-
land shed punishment and rushed the af-
fair, swinging both hands for the body IN
the hope Of wearing his man down. The
distance was too short. however. for this
TO he effective. and although "Packey'' did
slow up a little. II was only q little. and
the result was never in doubt
Mcfarland tactics We're more Ike those
or fencer than a boxer. He did the bulk
Of his blocking with his forearms and did
but little duckng. When the occasion de
manded. however. the Chicago lad slid IN
der the failing arms of his plunging rival
IN z fashion that was pretty 10 see. He
worked Dick about the ring and forced
the latter 10 make Wild leads and leave
openings. Mcfarland never allowed the
openings TO pass unnoticed and shot home
his punches with great force and speed.
He hit straight from the shoulder and
threw his whole body into the punch
Hyland's eye for distance was poor He
was inclined n swing in the hope for gen
eral results. while 'Packey" timed his blows
perfectly In the cllnches. too. ''Packey''
was n home. working right uppercut TO
the head and face that drew the blood from
his opponents mouth. The final round was
fast and even, but the general all around
work OF Mcfarland left little doubt in the
minds Of the majority as TO who was the
winner.
Two stays will he held ton; ght At the
Sharkey Athletic Club Paddy Sullivan will
meet the Brooklyn lightweight. Dave
Ryan. while at the Garland Athletic Club
OF The Bronx Charley Harvey will face
Charley Goldman
