CHICAGO. Aus. Ia-Packey Mcfarland
NAV share the lightweight honors with Ad
WolRast after the fight In Milwaukee, on
september ne wolgast has made the
match at q weight that viii suit haoFar-
land better than any proposition ever be-
fore made 70 him by the champion. and
A n question now whether the local lad
VIM be able 20 take sdvantngs Of the alt
uation and grab off a share Of the honors
"a a result. Many think he win. The
-esRht IL 10 bo Ia AZ o'clock. which
means that Mcfarland win enter the rsns
At about III pounds. while Woigast will
hardly scale over ia 1T the most
Can WolKast afford TO give away that
much weight 10 a clever man like hoFsr~
landY Ad thinks he can. but there are
many who think he Is making serious
mistake, for Mcfarland In different class
boxer to what the champion has been meet
ing and he can also punch when he has his
strength with him. not being Slapped away
by making impossible weights. II will
mean lots Of hard work for Mcfarland to
make even lss pounds at B. but he can do
Il and retain his strength, according TO
Manager Thiery. II that is the case then II
will mean a hard proposition for wolgsst
TO face
Mcfarland and his manager have consid-
cred ell these points beforehand. There Is no
doubt on that score, for when Peckey was
asked through his manager TO 60 ahead
with the proposed match with Matt Wells
he baked and said II would be impossible
now. as he had TO post a forfeit of 5000
to guarantee q return match with wolgsst
over the long route. That goes to prove
that Wolgast, while being confident, IL
taking no chances on losing IN no-decision
bout He wants to be protested should the
stock yards boy put one over on him. as
he feels he is Packey's master over the
long route no matter how the short one
may terminate.
Looks for Ensy Money.
Il is McFarland's plan to grab off few
weeks Of easy stage money after the bout
with wolgast for he knows that II he
holds the champion even II will mean big
Inducements from the vaudeville or bur
lesque houses. and that is the goal just
now Manager Thiery not only expects
him TO hold Wolgast even. but to score a
victory over him, a point decision that
none of the papers can deny him. After
that he will want rest, for over the long
route he will be obliged TO make 1888 pounds
four hours before the contest, which will
be harder and It win mean extra hard
work to get down gradually 50 as to re-
| tain his strength.
Packey knows that January 1 Is big
date for boxing shows on the coast, and 1t
will not be surprising to hear Of thef two
meeting before Jimmy Coffroths San
Francisco club on the first Of the new
year Coffroth has offered Wolgast a
| guarantee Of $4,000 for his end and Nc
! Farland $4,000. or $4,000 for the match
and 1t seems certain that the Frisco man
will land 1t, no matter how the bout in
Milwaukee may turn out
Should Packey score a Knockout in Mil
waukee It would upset calculations some
what, but that would not cause the coast
bout to fall through; II would simply re-
verse matters, with Mcfarland drawing
down the long end of the money and VOL
CAST the short end
| Although Wolgast realizes that he will
have the worst of II IN poundage, he is
said to be the personification of confidence
He cannot believe that McFarland's skill
and science will keep him at bay.
II will make Mcfarland box me the way
/ want TO. and when he starts In at my
kind OF game It will be a bad time for
Packey," said the champion. "Packey does
not like body punches, and, believe me. l
am going to pump EN- into his midsecton
so hard and fast he will think trphammer
is beating tattoo on his stomach. l think
Packey will slow up when | begin to get at
him."
Mcfarland Is equally as confident regard
ing the outcome. He will rely on his speed
and skill to outpoint the champion and
he declared that Wolgast will not land
dozen clean blows on him throughout the
| ten rounds.
Il have studied Wolgast's style carefully,
and realize that as a wrestler and a tug
ger he Is without equal. ANY boy who
tries to rough it with him will lose surely.
but do not intend to let him draw me in
close" says Mcfarland. "Wolgast can go
into his shell and stay there for all of me.
| When he covers up will work on his
stomach and when he opens up / will be
there waiting for him. Wolgast fears the
result in spite of all his boasts to the con-
trary. II he does not why has he forced
me to sign greement TO meet him in q

coming to h. l ten rounds. but he thinks
he will get over longer route. I'll
