That Rabbit Nonsense.

Sunday is Easter, the day when there
is much ado about eggs. BY the way,
who started all that foolishness about
the rabbits which has taken almost all
the glory away froih the hen? The hen
may be less attractive as ''make-be-
lieve," but she's the real thing when it
comes to delivering the goods. and has
a right to register her kick against all
of this rabbit nonsense. AS a purely

the mother of them, to a finish.

-
NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-Hugh McIn-
tosh, the Australian fight promoter,
has concluded plans to bring about a
meeting between Sam Langford and
Tommy Burns The Australian will
stage the fight in London some time in
December.
Mcintosh is authority for the state
ment that he has practically closed the
deal. The promoter from the Antip-
odes believes that the pair will draw
big crowd in London and the win
ner will have a good chance of secur-
ing match with Johnson.
Mcintosh says Johnson has agreed to
give Burns first chance at the title.
Johnson promised Burns and myself
at Reno says Mcintosh, that he
would give Tommy another chance He
says that he wants to rest awhile, but
that later he will meet Burns again.
Langford is still clamoring for a
match with Johnson. The Boston tar
baby makes no secret of his belief
that he can beat johnson. and John
son, on the other hand, expresses great
contempt for Langford.

WOLGAST AND MCFARLAND
The announcement that Ad wolgast
has consented TO box Packey McFar-
land for the lightweight championship
of the world and to allow the said
Packey to come in at 133 pounds hours
before the contest, is causing no end OF
comment in boxing circles all over the
country. But few of them can believe
it even yet, although the news appar-
emily comes direct from the lips OF the
present lightweight title holder and
his very careful, deliberate and cautious
manager. Tom Jones.
If Mcfarland is half the fighter he
appeared to be the day he beat Jimmy
Britt, and if he is within a few pounds
of being near the lightweight limit
as he was on that memorable occasion
more than two years ago. then he has
the SranOeSC cnance IN all the world of
walking out of the ring with the light
weight crown on his head. Mcfarland
is a big, rangy, clever. and hard hitting
boxer. though he can hardly be classi-
fed in the lightweight list. He's an
other one OF the unfortunates, a cross
between a lightweight and a weIter
weight, with practically nobody in his
class.
BIG FELLOWS ARE DOOMED
Wolgast has had a very soft time Of
it ever since he gained his champion
ship laurels. The only feat he has per-
formed during all the months that have
elapsed was to go 10 rounds against a
encounter. The public has heard less
of Wolgast than any other champion
who ever gained fame in any class He
seems TO have been forgotten.
So far as the heavy weight and mid
die weight divisions go. they may as
we'll pass them up till time at least
as conditions in the game become a
bit more settled. Evidently public SEN
tinent has turned against the big fell
lows since Jefries took that disgrace
full flop at Reno. All heavy weights,
outside of Johnson. are grouped in the
Jeffries class now
They tried TO revive the game among
the big fellows in New York by pro-
posing the names of AL kaufman and

in overhead smashing she would prob
ably have won more games.
LONG RALLIES FREQUENT
Miss Hotchkiss played nearly alto
sether from the base line, as did her
opponent. and there were many long
rallies. The national champion drove
well and placed the ball with great
accuracy close to the back line and
made some pretty passes down the
sides.
Miss Meyer drove well, particularly
with her backhand, but at times she
did not seem TO try, as she let many
shots pass her without making an ef-
fort to get them. In the last set each
player took her opponents service

easily offset the wonderful quickness
and class which the Oakland boy has
developed since he jumped out of the
four round cradle. Therefore they are
talking Moran up and down the line
and back again. while the Burns con-
versation has been confined only to
those who know the little fellow best.
Burns has the great chance of his
lifetime. If he can make good and
beat Moran, ~even with a 10 round de-
cision. he will be hailed as one of the
wonders of the puglistic age, not only
here but over in England, where Moran
has taken them all into camp with
the exception of Jem Driscoll Burns
is quite lad to be sending in against
a fighter of the stamp of Moran. but
so long as he is willing, fit and ready
and his hackers concede him a chance,
he may as well start. He is displaying g
the right sort of spirit. He shows his
gamenesS and it can easily be seen that
he is not looking for soft game.
This contest should prove just such
a one as will hold the attention of the
fans. They have had enough of the
big bruisers and the fellows who climb
into the ring only to stall around and
await the sound of the final bell to
collect their money. What they want
is something fast. snappy and clean.
The promoters have played the old
stereotyped style of milling off the
boards and this has done a whole lot
to keep the sport back.
Moran will be a lightweight this
time. The day has passed when he
might hope to figure as star in the
feather weight division. He is in an
unfortunate state. bit too heavy for
feather, bit too light for real
contender for lightweight honors- But
at that. he can we'll afford to concede
a couple of pounds to Burns. His
and knowledge of the game
will more than offset this slight ad-
vantage.
BE,N SELIG AS A REFEREE
This will be the first bout in San
Francisco where the three morning
newspapers will join in giving the de-
cision. The referee will have nothing
to say about it. However. there will
be one in the ring, no less a parsonage
than Benny Seiig, Joe Cans old man
ager. and one of the best known box
ing authorities that San Francisco has
ever known.
Selfg was candidate for the posi-
tfon of referee of the big fight. but
Withdrew in favor of Tex Rickard. He's
in the game this time just to help the
sport along a bit and his presence in
the ring is bound to be boost for the
fight And If they like him, Benny
probably will be seen in action in most
of the important contests to follow.
The betting is still 10 to Z. with
Moran the hot favorite with all the
boys who claim a fair knowledge of
the sport. But few of them can see
Burns. and for this reason the Britisher
probably will close a . to 1 shot over
the little fellow from Oakland. Burns
