A set pa e. S.1''S Mcfarland f RI nd to to
come here and fight Joe
Mandot or some other top-noch
man in the Auditorium. While
yours truly would like to see such
matches here, l can not help be-
lieving that Packey is a hoodoo to
clubs. The Windy City whirlwind's
bouts have closed up the game dead
tight in many cities.
PaCkey is one of the greatest and
cleanest fighters that ever donned
a glove, and it would be a credit to
the game to have him come here,
but the fact remains that boxing
lids have followed hard by in the
wake Of this boy.
Closed Game in Five Cities.
Just at random, ! can pick out
five cases where boxing has been
shut up tightly after Packey had a
scrap AT this club or that one.
The first case we recall came at
Davenport, Iowa, on November 81,
1907. in the historic battle of fifteen
rounds with Kid Herman, then one
of the best lightweights in this sec
ton of the country. That was the
contest for the suppression of which
the governor ordered out the mill
tia and for allowing which contest
to proceed a certain militia officer
afterward was courtmartialed.

PackeyMcFa rland, Wanted Here,
Is Hoodoo to Clubs; His Bouts
Have Put Lid On in Several Cities

Naturally the scandal that fol-
lowed clamped the lid so thorough
ly in the vicinity of Davenport that
il never was pried up.
Protests at Racine,
Packey's bout with Morrie Bloom,
which was an ill-advised match at
best, stopped proceedings at Racine,
Wis, April T. 1911. Packey 80 far
overmatched the Bloom boy, who
was skeleton making the weight,
that it raised a storm of protest.
Remember, don't you, how the
proposed bout between Mcfarland
and Wolgast in Milwaukee on La
Dor day the year before gave the
boxing game tin ear and four
black eyes? Milwaukee is Just now
beginning to get over that Jolt
Later when Packey and Adolph
were matched in New York, the af-
fair had TO be called off to save the
game there, as it drew out an edict
from the governor of the state and
caused the boxing commission end
less trouble and the promoters con-
siderable expense and chagrin.
Mcfarland boxed Eddie Murphy
in South Bend, Ind, on February
IA, 1911, and not wheel has turned
in South Bend since that affair.
And that brings us to Kenosha.
Wis. where the game is at a stand
still following the return engage
ment between Packey and Eddie.
Mind you, nothing especially that
Packey did Grabbed" any of these
boxing points. 1t seems to be
merely a series Of condolences that
have followed the Chicago boys
trail through several seasons.

McAleer Says Athletics
Have Strong Ball Team

one Of the hardest teams for us to
beat will be the Athletics. Macks
team had a bad year last season, but
the way the club got together down
in Cuba shows that the stuff is there.
1t must have been blow to those
players to see our boys in Boston
sharing the rich results of the
worlds series. and l think they will
work very hard to get back the hon
ors which we took away from them.
Connie has a great ball club in
every department. 1t is a smuggling
outfit, liable to break up d game in
any inning. This is a club that is
always to be reckoned with, and l
believe the Athletics will be keyed up
to a high pitch of efficiency.

pitching staff will be much stronger
next year. Mack has picked up a
fine young outtielder in Eddie Muir
ply, whom he got from Baltimore,
and he will fit in very well.
This is a club that is always to
be reckoned with and | believe the
Athletics will be keyed up to a high
pitch of efficiency.
THE Washington club will also be
a factor in the race am sure 1t
depends a great deal on the pitch

this club with the exception Of
Gandil, who joined them in the
middle Of last season.
The rest of the club is what left
at Washington when l came to
Boston, so / know about what the
players can do. OF course. there is
little to be said about Walter John
son, except that he iss the greatest
pitcher in the country
When he steps into the box a
victory is right in the grasp of his
team, if they can hit the opposing
pitcher at all
"A couple of runs will win for
Walter day after day He has no
off days, and his control is perfect
] have never known him to be in a
hole so deeply as to affect his
work.
johnson Greatest Pitcher
johnson is an impressive sight
while operating on the mound, and
no other pitcher can touch him in
my judgment.
johnson will always do more
than his share of work. being one of
the most willing fellows in the
business. He is a tremendous as
set to any club and would keep any
good team in the running almost
by himself
Then the Senators have a man
who may be almost as good as
Johnson this year ! refer to Cash

A FUNNY thing happened to Ed
"A die Herr once a Southern league
player. when he was managing
Flint. in the Southern Michigan
league, in 1910. Herr used to put
on a uniform and get on the coach
ing lines. but, of course, he didn't
play, for he was as fat as the lady
in the sideshow.
This day the umpire gave close
decision against Flint and Herr
jumped up from the bench and
started on a run for his jumps to
give him a call down. Just as he
got to third base he was taken with
a cramp in his leg, fell down, and
couldn't get up. Five men had to
carry him to the club house. Ed
die was awful sore, not because of
the laughs from the crowds. he said
but because he couldn't give the
umpire call down when he had it
coming to him.

THE real reason why Garry Herr
mann insisted on buying Red
corridor from Detroit and shunting
Frank Chance off into the Ameri-
IAN league. in spite of the fact
thaC he preferred Chance to Tinker
as manager of his own team, has
oozed out. Hermann simply felt
bound to keep a promise ne made
to Joe Tinker, even if his club and
bis league suffered by it.
As long ago as last summer, be-
fore Tinker had any expectations of
playing elsewhere than with Chi
cago. Hermann preached the sub
Jet to him of making him leader
of the Reds.
Tinker said he would be delight
ed, and Hermann promised to do
MS utmost to make the necessary
deal with Chicago. At the time
he had not the least idea Chance
would be available.
When Murphy asked waivers on
Chance. Hermann grabbed him in
a hurry, believing his efforts to
trade for Tinker had failed ana in
tending to make Chance manager
But he knew he had not kept his
promise to Tinker to exhaust every
resource to get his release from
Chicago, so started the Corridor
end Of the deal.
OF course. he could not bring any
pressure to bear on Detroit to sell
Corridor. nor upon any other Amer
lean league club to waive on him.
But the minute he let it be known
that he would place Chance at the
disposal of the American league,
Ban Johnson set his persuasive
powers to work and completed the
deal for him.
CHARLEY MURPHY has not
- only the American league, but
all the other club owners in the
National league against him. There
is no possible way for the Chicago
man to win the battle, but he
doesn't seem to realize it. As an
example of what the baseball mo-
guls can put over on him If they
feel so inclined, it is only neces-
sary tn recall the schedule of two
years or so ago, when there were
ten or twelve conflicting games in
chicago, all falling on Sunday. The
-ehedule trainers booked the then
hampton Detroits against the
White SoX at Comiskey's park, and
at the same time booked the st.

enough, in my judgment, to make

all desire. He seems to have the Bible
and logic on his side too!
Pastor Russell declared that false
concepts Of the Second Coming of
Christ had done great injury. The
view set forth ii all orthodox creeds
Is that Christ VIII come again in the
flesh. The resurrection win take place
within twentyfour hours. The sanity
will rise In the air to meet the Lord.
Then fire viii come down from heav-
en-, and consume the whole earth. Pre-
millenniaIfsts claim that Christ will
reign in deshIy glory a thousand years
to bless the living. The majority OF
Christians disown this as ridiculous
because thy believe little OF
creed or Bible. A minority perceive
its inconsistency with the Bible.
What Bible Students Now See.
The Sire OF that day. is symbolical,
already Endling In society, the ele-
ments OF which, Capital and Labor,
are getting hotter. Soon they will
melt, the syrnbolical ''earth" viii be
consumed with the heavens also, the
ecclesiastical powers. Their passing
away viii usher in a new earth or
social order, and new heavens" the
Church In glory.
The Second Coming Of Christ is as
sociated with blessings. Messiah will
abolish the curse and bring IN wonder
full blessings. The Day OF Christ will
be athe last Day,e-the great Seventh
Thousand-year Day. All humanity will
be blessed, including the dead who will
then be awakened.
