Sheridan in Shape
to Go to Stockholm

NEW, YORK. March z-when the
Amatuer Athletic union began to lolk
around for point winners to send to
Sweden next summer, the so-called
experts said that Shepard and Sheridan,
the leading scorers In London in 1sS
were no longer available. .-
They have gone back" chirped these
experts, ''and the Amatuer Athletic
union will have to dig up something
new"
This was about a year ago. Two
months ago Sheridan and Sheppard
started training. and have made such
excellent progress that the committee
cannot pass them when the team is Sc
lected. There is every indication now
that this pair will score as many points
as they did in London in 1905
Heeding the advice OF friends, Sheridan
went into active training about six
weeks ago. At that time he weighed
nearly go pounds. His best weight is
800 pounds. Mountain climbing. hard
gymnastic work and plenty of kandbaIl
have reduced his weight to 30 pounds.
He expects to hit the 800 notch within
ten days.
sheridan's main object is to compete
in all-around competition with jim
Thorpe. the Carlisle Indian school ath-
lete. Jim Sullivan wants Sheridan and
Thorpe for the two stvles OF aIi-rodnl
contest in Sweden. and figures that if

Soccer Foot Ball Finally Fixed in America

is TO track athletics in the United States.
All this time for eight years, the United

be more specific. II has played second

.PACKY HAS LOST HIS WALLOP
But He is Still Clever, Quick and a
Great Ring General.
HAS EAD STRENUOUS CAREER
In Eighty-One battles He Has Scored
Thirty-six knockouts, Nine
teen Popular yerdicts
and Five Draws.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Careful study
Of Paciy McFarland's ring record would
seem to Indicate that the wonderful Chi
| cago boxer is either losing his punch
or Is slightly lacking in stamina. His
remarkable cieverness stIlul remains in
comparable and for ten rounds or so he
displays bewildering speed. But his
record shows that since 1905, when he
stopped fourteen opponents with sleep
producing wallops, he has knocked out
eight men In forty-eight bouts. Four
were put away ia 1907, none In 1908 and
1909, two in 1910. one in 1911 and one this
year All told Mcfarland in eighty-one
battles since he made his bow as a pro-
fessional In 1904 has scored thirty-six
knockouts together with referees deci-
sions in twenty-one bouts. popular YER
diets In nineteen contests and five draws.
Yet during this strenuous career Nc
Farland has never sustained a defeat of
any kind. remarkable achievement
for honesty and sportsmsnship which
has made him one of the most popular
boxers in the world.
Starts with n Rush.
when Mcfarland began fighting in
1901 he knocked out six men Is as many
battles. The following year he stopped
eight and beat four on points. In fifteen
contests during 1906 Packy put fourteen
men to sleep and got one decision. That
campaign practically ended his career as
a knockout artist, but at the same time
he began to loom up as a superb boxer
and ring general He stopped four sec
ond raters In 1907 and outpointed such
men as Kid Goodman Maurice Sayers.
Charley Neary. Benny Yanger and Kid
Herman. In 1905 Mcfarland got a deci-
sion over Freddie Welsh in ten rounds
and also boxed twenty-five round draw
with the latter. at the same time failing
to score knockouts in battles with Bert
Keyes, Tommy Loughrey. Jimmy Britt
Phil Brock, Leach Cross and Tommy
| Murphy.
He Wins on Points.
The following year Dick Hyiand, Leach
Cross. Dave Deshler, Harry rreudall,
Ray Bronson and Cyclone Thompson
stayed various limits with Packey. who
outciassed all Of them in points OF skill.
During a visit to England In 1910 Nc
Farland put Dick Lee and Jack Gold
swain, second raters. to sleep and boxed
a twenty-round draw with Freddie
Welsh, after which he came back and
outpointed Dick Hyland in ten rounds.
Since then Mcfarland has scored but
two knockouts In nearly twenty fights.
He stopped Jack Goodman in five rounds
last year and few weeks ago he landed
a sleep wallop on Tommy Deviin in the
west. But knockoIts did not materiaiize

made in this country during only a few
years. Ten years ago the game was alb
soluteiy unheard of in many parts Of
the country, but when 1t got started It
gained impetus in manner unknown to
any other sport.
The Invasion of the star English teams
tho Pilgrims and the Corinthians
which were brought over to this country
by Tommy Cahill, caused a great boom
treated to a wonderful exhibition OF the
possibilities Of the great game. and the
impression left behind by them has re-
manned unfaded.
Since then the game has been coming
into its own in the schools and colleges,
and the independent club teams also have
increased vastly in number. Before long
the Americans will be able to hold their
own with the best that England can send
over. The thing that is needed most now
is governing organization to create or
der out OF chaos to prevent scandals from
springing up In connection with the game
to interpret the playing rules, to pass
official recognition Of American soccerites
abroad and, in short. do the thousand
and one things In soccer affairs that
are done by the American Athletic union
In track athletic affairs. The American
Amateur Foot Ball association seems TO
fill that need. The right sort Of men
are at Its head and the right sort Of
methods have been instituted in the ad-
ministration Of its affairs. To wish them
further success we believe is superfluous.
