figured he was getting q certain cam

The first straight right Packey landed
in this round knocked Tommy of his
balance. But the next one the Chicago
boy tried Tommy made him miss. M
if in rcturn for that failure to connec
Packey caused a couple Of Tommy's
wicked joits and uppcrcuts to go astray,
and while Tommy was off his stride on
that account the Westerner. like a
gattling gun, peppered the former fIsr-

1t was in this round that Packey
began to show his real speed. After
Murphy had begun the round with
some roughing Packey voilied blows on
Tommy until he turned half way
around n backed away. BY that
many of Packey's blows landed on
Tommy's back. but a great many more
found their mark on Murphy's head
and body. The men worked to the
centre OF the ring, with Mcfarland
standing right up straight. Suddenly

close OF the round he broke loose a
rush that sent the men to McFariand's
corner mixing 1t. The belt ended 1t
there 1t was Mcfarland again.
From this point on Mcfarland was
absolute master. The harder Murphy
fought the easier the task seemed to
be for Packey, whose every move meant
som ething and whose every blow landed
just where he wanted 1t to.

hand. for both of Tommy's eyes were
puffed. In this round Mcfarland, to
my -ay of thinking. rhowed his great
est flash of form. From Murphy's cor
ner he chased Tommy ACROSS TO a
neutral corner with his right and eft
hand working like two levers. landing
ON Murphy's face and body every time
they shot out. Tommy tried hard to
get back at Packey. He hit him from
time to time, but never damagingiy.
This was a decidedly bad time for
Murphy.
Though Tommy started the seventh
round fresher than was expected from
his showing in the previous round. It
was not long before Packey had his
machine-llke movements battling Tom

punch that staggered ana bewildered

Mcfarland did not work as hard az
before and allowed, 1t seemed to Muir

he could have easily avoided. Packey's
motive was apparent in a few mo-

Dick Curiey. the whilwind A. G. PFC

Farland and Freddy Welsh a great sun

question, but Curiey thinks he can
patch that up. Packey wants 1856 at 8
