Chicago Boys Natural Advan-

WHEN the bell sounded for the
! w end of the tenth round of the
Packey McFarIand-Owen Moran
bout, at the Paramount Club, in New
York, last night. McFarland's work
stood out boldly and there was no
doubt as to the winner. Packey USE
his natural advantages-of reach
height and weight, ia, at 5 o'clock
at every turn against the little Moran
who weighed but l26 at the same hoar
Packey, if he wanted to, could have
captured every round, but Moran is not
disgraced at that. owen is very clever
and had the men been more Of a size
the bout would have been etter TO look
at. AS 1t was, Moran's natural short
comings. as compared to the Chicago
boy. Handicapped hin too much.
Both men were practically unmarked
at the end and each was strong. 1t
cannot be said that Moran got a beat
| ing, and. though he did receive ma ny.
many more blows than Packey, owen
avoided many.
Neither man suffered much from
punishment until the seventh, when
Mcfarland reached Moran with stiff
body blows and sent him Keeling twie e
across the ring to the ropes. Fol w
ing this with two rights to the jaw e
had Moran staggering. and the or W
began to cieer the Chicago fighter ! ut
Moran rallied and came back after
more.
There was nothing to choose between
the men In the first two rounds and
Mcfarland had only a slight lead In

by trying to make Moran fall for a
feint. After Packey had landed a left
to the jaw Moran shot in two right
uppercuts. After blocking a left to the
jaw Moran put in a right to the jaw
and then blocked another of McFar-
lands.
The men were boxing very cleverly.
The second round found Mcfarland
going 1t a little faster. 1t was In this
round that Moran began to miss
Packey started to use his left. About
In the middle of the round Mcfarland
banged Owen with that weapon to the
Jaw that half turned Moran. The Chi
cago boy changed things a bit by send
ing a right TO the wind. Mcfarland
had a slight advantage in this round.
Moran got in a hard left to the WIND
after Packey had connected with that
left to the Jaw in the third. Moran's
lack of reach accounted for his miss
ing a left and a right, and before Owen
knew 1t Packey sent his head back
with two stiff lefts to the head. The
men were certainly boxing a nice eX-
hibition. but 1t could be seen that Nc
| Farland's natural advantages OF
weight, height and reach would surely
tell.
A left to McFar'and's wind repaid
Packey's pair of portsiders to Moran's
face in the fourth. Netherlands left
hand sent Moran's head tack again,
and Moran, who seemed TO be able to
land those short lefts to the body, got
in two more. McFarland's great foot
work made Moran miss a right and
| left. He then shot two short left up
percuts to the Jaw while Moran was in
q corner. The Chicago boy hit his man
a terri fc uppercut. Norm w n
for fair and Packey was landing rights
| md lefts that rocked the E~ngiish-Irish-
man.
The Chicago boy did not have such
an advantag &c in the next round. Moran
was strong and shot a left to the wi d
After landing a left to the jaw McFar-
land made Moran wobble with a right
to the jaw, and two short ones to the
wind.
The Chicago boy fell short for a
change, he had the round.
