vC-Nicifl > the DIG night. NcFar-
Ian and Goodman at the Fair
mont A. c. 1t looks the best card
. n New York in many a long
month.
Both Mcfarland and Jack Goodman
ere clever. Both can fight IN ding
dong style IN occasion. Both can hit
hes0. although IN respect to this latter
phase Of Affairs Goodman a an ad-
vaatage. Anybody who can knock out
. tough citizen like Bedell in three or
-Four rounds has a punch that may
uoet tho best of fighting dope"
OF Netherlands punch is some
thns Of q mystery. Mcfarland being a
careful and scientific young fellow. has
been winning by o%uthghting the other
man AL the way. taking no chance of
breaking a hand by wild slugglng. This
has been his well studied style ever
since he graduated from the novice GLASS
ana stopped trying to win every nght
In the FIRST round. He has never been
in . pinch where he had to violate this
custom OF his. 1t may be possible
that MCFARLAND, In desperate straits,
rseltng and feeling the possibility OF
coming defeat. might uncork a WALTON
~ 0oporsnc as any In tho business.
The principal thing that will go 10
make this a great fight Is the abso-
lutte confidence OF each man. McFar-
land u always conndcnt-always cock
sure that he will win. Tho thought
Of possible defeat never enters into his
calculations at AL. Tho harder resist.
ancs he encounters the harder he fights.
And 4h GlirAR h. (--l. 49,.
fellow can't keep up the pace with him.
- GOODMAN started his ring career,
like Mcfarland. by knocking out
. lot Of fighters IN short bouts.
Then. like Mcfarland. he became very
last and clever. and seldom won with a
single finishing punch. He had some
hard goes. and for . time seemed to
lase his confidence q little. His friends
explained his style OF fighting by say
Inc that Jack. who Il q handsome little
Fellow. was afraid Of his face He
didn't care to carry any thick ears or
other scars Of conflict.
That idea. II Jack. ever had IL. has
disappeared entirely since he went un-
der tho management OF Sammy Kelly,
hknself a great and agEneave fighter
ten years age. Kelly's' one idea is nght.
nGht fight. He has drilled IL into
Goodman. and On his last few ring
encounters Jack has forgotten all about
hts face. The face has suffered. of
course. but he has made n much better
impression In the ring. That's why he

he = regarded rs a possible coming

He thinks that II no boats Mcfarland
WoAgast will have to nsht him instead

II would be a great thing for Jack
10 beat Packey. He'd cut In ahead of his
rivals. Tommy Murphy and X. O.
Arown. who are supposed to no next
in line for a trial with the lightweight
title holder. Murphy and Brown have
been right In the limelight. Goodman,
Who Is rather quiet and retiring by ma
ture. has been almost overlooked in tho
dtecussion OF thai championship. This
