Packey Mcfarland showed his class
In a four-round bout yesterday after
noon at the American Athletic Club in
Philadelphia against Tony Biddle. 1t
was al especially arranged matinee and
500 invited guests, including d mixture
OF society folk, politicians and newspa-
permen, were spectators. Prior to the
bout Mcfarland gave an exhibition OF
shadow boxing n then tool on
Biddle.
The bout was ludicrous In spots.
After the first round, in which McFar-
land completely analysed his oppo.
nent's style, he ducked many Of Bid
dies vicious swings and blocked the
others, Whenever the society middle
weight became dangerous Mcfarland
jabbed and jabbed him with his left
until Biddle's nose wore an azure hue.
It was a fast, clever lightweight who
classes as a champion against an earn
est amateur nliddleweight, whose chief
aim was to win by one blow. McFar-
land easily won on points. Billy Glib
son, president Of the Fairrnont Club, of
New.York; L. NJ. Toughill, Bert Crow
hurst and Billy Recap oficisted as
referees.
The second bout between Leach Cross
and Johnny Mario took place at the
Fairmont Club last night and terminal
ed in the same manner as the first one.
held at the Long Acre Club some time
back. The advantage on either side
was not large enough to award tf% YER
dict to either man, and a draw decision
| would be fair to both sides.
The bout did not begin to look like a
real fight until the sixth round, when
the boys warmed up and began to ex-
change regular wallops. Cross did tho
clever work, dancing around his man
and jabbing with his left hand, missing
most of the right attempts, while Mario
was willing to take a jab on the face
10 get In close to deliver heavy body
blows with both hands. 1t was these
punches to the stomach that weakened
the east slider In the last few rounds.
and his punches grew weaker and wild.
er as the bout progressed. Cross took
the more severe beating of the two,
Marto's body punches being more pow
erful and effective than Cross's jabbing.

frankie Burns, OF Jersey City, ma
tional bantalnweight champion, and
AAlf Lynch, bantamweight champion Of

rushing Burns to the ropes, but the
latter was more effective with blows
TO the head. Lynch fought back to the
body, and was several times In dis
tress, but rallied In the later rounds,
and finished strong.
Eddie Murphy, of South Boston, won
an easy victory over Sammy Smith,
of Philadelphia, In twelve rounds Of
boxing at the Armory Athletic Assoc

Californian never had q chance. Twice
