FODDER FOR
FIGHT FANS

Another promising match has been
arranged for the Fairmount A. c.. New
York, on February 6, when Packy
Mcfarland, the Chicago stock yards
champion will meet Kid Burns in a
ten-round bout. Burns has been beat
ing some of the best of the New York
lightweights lately.
A battle that will somewhat clear up
the middle weight situation, will be
fought in New York tonight at the
Fairmont A. c. when Eddie McGoorty
and Walter Coffey meet in a ten-round
bout. Frank Klaus. the claimant of the
championship, will be matched to fight
the winner.
Eddie OKeefe, the Philadelphia
feather weight. was declared by fight
fans today TO be a logical candidate
for a match with Abe Attell. In the
sixth round Of his fight in New York
last,night with Jimmy Carroll the
Californian, O'Keefe landed a knock
out punch that sent Carroll to sleep
for a full minute
Efforts are being made today to
match Packy Mcfarland, of Chicago,
and Mike Gibbons, the famous welter-
weight Mcfarland probably never
will be able 10 fight again in the legi-
innate light weight DIVISION his best
fighting weight now being between 142
