PACKY MFARLAND GONE
TO FIGHT WELSH
Is Confident of Winning From
Champion of England Easily.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.


New York, Jan. 12-Packy Mcfarland,
the Chicago lightweight, sailed for Eng
land on the steamer Adriatic today for
the expressed purpose of meeting Freddie
Welsh. the British lightweight champion.
Mcfarland said that the match had not
been arranged yet but that he had re-
ceived assurances from London that there
would be no hitch.
''I can beat Welsh as sure as you're
standing there" said PaclSy. HE can't
hit hard enough to dent a ball of but
ter. | fought him twice and know him
like a book. The first time was in 10
round bout at Milwaukee, which 1 won
on points. l knocked him down in the
eighth round with stomach punch and
he yelled murder. He said he had been
fouled, but it was joke. He wanted to
quit.
1.-THE 25-round draw? Well can only
say it was my own fault that 1 did not
put him away that time. 1 dropped him
twice but did not get under full headway
until 1t was too late. Besides there was
something the matter with my eyes near
the end of the fight which Jim Jeffries
called a draw.
Next day L could not read the account
of the fight in the newspapers, but I
soon learned that one of Welsh's seconds
before the fight had put belladonpa on
Freddie's gloves and that's what allied
my eyes. But I'm going to square ac-
counts with Welsh in London"

O. & P. MEETING WILL
BE HELD NEXT WEEK

A meeting of the o. & P. league will
be held in Youngstown on Monday of
next week, when the principal items of
business will be the appointing of a
schedule committee and discussion of the
program of playing dates. 1t has been
proposed and favorably considered that,
instead of drafting a schedule calling for
three games at home and three abroad,
the schedule provide for a weeks stay
at home and a like stay abroad in one
city. This would give every town in the
circuit solid week of baseball every
other week. The only interruption to
this order would be on the holidays, when
the games will be evenly distributed
among the members of the circuit. This
plan is likely to be adopted and will no
surely 1t will be welcomed by the play
ers, who have no affection for one, two
or three-day stands.

president of the BruOklyns, is planning TO
have the Infants and the Highlanders
clash again on some Sunday in mldsum-
mer in a benefit game for the newsboys.
Charles II. a few days ago asked John r.
Brush, president Of the Giants, whether

New York National league club would
not put any obstacles in the way of a
contest OF. this kind.
Ebbetts is taking things cay nova
days. He has the National league sched-
ule for 1910 already drafted, and thinks
his conferees on the date-making commit
tee will adopt it almost as it stands. Eb-
season open on April a. on this date
Pittsburg will be in St. Louis, Chicago in
Cincinnati, New York in Philadelphia
and Boston in Brooklyn. The first game
on the Polo grounds will be between the
Giants and the Infants, just as it was

ABSTEIN TELLS WHY
HIS WORK WAS POOR

Bill Abstein IS being made quite a hero
Of in st. Louis. In fact some of the peo-
pie there believe the Pirate discard is al
good as any, and President Hedges of the
Browns isn't slow to declare that he feels
quite satisfied with the success that at
tended his efforts 10 secure the big fell
low.
Manager O'Connor of the Browns says
this Of his new first baseman: He GER
tainly can hit, for one thing. Then, too,
he can field. His mark of .269 isn't such
poor batting, l guess"
In explaining his seasons work with
PittsburS Abstein says he considers it
good at least good enough to hold him
on the team throughout the season and
help the Pirates win a pennant. In re-
gard to the worlds series games, how
ever, Bill does not deny the fact that
his work was poor.
According to Abstein trouble arose be-
tween him and the Pittsburg trainer The
latter had been connected with the club
for the past 10 years. Tommy Leach, ac-
cording to Abstein, sided with the trainer,
as also did Clarke, and life for Bill from
then on was miserable.
