MANY FIGHT FANS THINK ATTELL'S
PUCILISTIC FINISH Is AT HAND
Think Kiibane viii Beat
Abe on Febru-
airy q.
Kilbane Confident He Will Be
the New Cham-
pion.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. local
fight fans are all smoked up over the
20-round bout that Tom McCarey is
about to stage at Vernon. Johnny Kill
bane, the fighting Irishman, will try
to get the featherweight title from
Abe Attell, and there are those who
say 1t will be no SLOUGH of a fight.
The Irish lad has many admirers
who think that he will put a punch
with q count of ten on the point Of
the champs jaw before the fight gets
very far. His record up to date shows
that he is a conner. He peat Patsy
Kline and frankie Conley and put
a knockout over on Joe Rivers. XII
bane hits just as hard as Attell and is
much faster on his feet. Abe Is getting
old now, and has been in the game a
long time, while the Irishman is young,
strong and enthus' estic, and for this
reason the fans figure his chances are
good.
This is the first time Abe has taken
on a 20-round contest since 1908. He Is
sure he is too foxy and clever for the
Irish lad, and thinks he can make the
going fast enough to outpount Johnny
and get the decision in twenty rounds
However, If Kilbane gets dangerous,
the champ thinks he can hand him
some of the rough stuff he gave Nell
son when the Dane vas good.
The fight is scheduled for February
90. Attell gets $4,000 inc Kilbane So, 800,
win, lose or draw.

PACKEY MCFARLAND
BEATS kid" BURNS
New York Youngster Shows Great Game
ness, but Is No Match for Clever
Chicago Fighting Machine.

now somewhat out of proportion and
distinctly red.
Burns landed two on Packey's face
but that was all, for Packey got busy
and hammered Burns around the ring
until the bell.
The seventh was a corker. Coming
from the corner Burns began to mix.
Packey in trying to step away lost
his balance and, assisted by a blow to
the stomach, slipped. The supporters
of Burns were now wild and the house
was in al uproar. Not long, however,
did Burns keep this lead, for he was
smashing blows to the face and body.
Burns looked sad. His left eye was
now closed. The eighth was another
of the fighting kind, but was | II
Packey's favor.
In the ninth round Burns seemed to
have recovered and went right to
Packey. He landed two blows on the
face that completed the work of clos
ing Packey's eye. The metropolitan
fans were wild, thinking their idol was
forging to the front. Packey was cool
and peal Burns across the ring.
The sight of Packey's eye encour-
aged Burns in round ten. He tore In
and sent rights and lefts. Packey,
half blinded, now showed some real
skill and hooked right and left to the
face and body, mixing 1t with upper
cuts. Burns jabbed at the bad Eye
but his blows lacked steam. Packey's
round easy.

AS was expected Packey Mcfarland,
the clever fighting machine from the
Chicago s~tockyards, gave Kid Burns,
of New York, a good t~rouncing in their
ten-round bout at the Fairmont A. c.,
IN New York, last night. Burns. while
he took a good lacing, showed hat he
has something up his sleeve that will
make any of the fight gum take notice.
He is a fearless fighter and willing to
mix at any time, even II he has to take
a good lacing to get in a wallop.
Packey, for the first time in his
career, had his eye closed. The left
optic of the willing-to be-champion
does not become him today, especially
as he is to fight Young Erne at Phila-
delphia tonight. Some of the singing
blows that were landed by Burns
seemed to awaken Packey for it would
always cause him to get busy n keep
his flying arms driving at the jaw and
stomach of Burns.
If applause could nave counted for
anything Burns would have been he
victor. His appearance caused the
crowded house to rise mas and
cheer for fully ten minutes. The en-
trance of Mcfarland into the ring was
also a chance for some of the lungs to
get working, but there was not the
demonstration that was accorded
Burns. 1t was announced that McFar-
land weighed 1876 pounds while Burns
weighed 1879 POUNDS.
Burns began the attack by sending a
light left to the stomach. Packey
tapped Burns on the face with a light
left when Burns came back with a
harder one to the jaw. Packey began
jabbing and Burns, somewhat baffled,
began covering. From the corner
Burns forced Packey across the ring
and sent a left to the stomach. Packey
then began jabbing n had Burns
covering. Packey's round The Sec
ond, third and fourth rounds were Nc
Farland's by a wide margin. During
these sessions "Mac' kept boring his
right and left to the face and stomach,
and using a choppy uppercut tina was
not at all relished. Burns, however,
was not so slow In getting around, for
on several occasions he had the Chi
cage lad backing up when he started
to swing in any old direction.
Burns was somewhat refreshed and
sent a left to the face in the sixth.
Packey came back with a nasty upper
cut that rocked Burns's head. Then
began the disagreement stage. Packey
split the lips of Burns and damaged
his "smeller." The face of Burns was

League May
Buy Royal
Club'sStock
International League Magnate
Will Make Sugges-
ton.

It is the plan Of a prominent Interna-
tionaI League magnate to introduce a
motion at the schedule meeting of the
league at Providence on the 21st of this
month for the league to buy out the
Montreal franchise next year, unless
the attendance In the Canadian
metropolis takes a big jump.
The name of the person who is be-
hind this scheme canno for obvious
reasons be- divulged at this time. 1t Is
his plan for seven magnates (Montreal,
of course, could not be expected to come
in on IT'D to donate a sum not less than
81, 900 as a working capital and to this
q larger amount could be added at any
time next fall, after Montreal is given
another trial.
The man behind the scheme figures
that each of the clubs would recover
their initial $1,000 in one year, IL SYRIA
cuse was taken into the circuit.
We we would save that amount on
expenses alone" he added. Montreal
is away off the circuit, and the teams
that go there never even make ex-
penses. 1 thought of making the sug-
gestion last fall, but some of the mag
mates were not in favor of II at that
time.
Left to himself. Lichtenhein will
never quit. He has been promising
for the last three years that he would
transfer the franchise to some other
city, but he always wants one more
chance. Sam is a good fellow and !
suppose he likes the advertisement
that he gets through being a mag
nate. He has money to burn, so what
can we do unless we buy him out?
Over in New York Liehtenhein de-
clared hat he lost $4,000 In 1910 and
he only lost $4,000 asst ear You
see,' he said, we made $4,000 last year.
Now whit can you do with q man who
reasons like that?"
L%ichtenhein would rather cut off his
nose than sell out to his enemies in
Montreal. AT the same time the league
has reached the point where Montreal
is a drag instead of a boost to the
league. The fans up there have had
every opportunity in the world to make
1t pay, and have not shown the right
kind of interest. Baseball players
claim that the changeable climate and
the frequent chilly spells In the Mon
treal summer stiffen their muscles, and
they say that Montreal for this reason
is always handicapped in a pennant
fight. It is also hard on the players
who jump sometimes from warm
weather into the refrigerator" as
they call ~Lichtenhein's town. For the
league TO buy the club seems the one
solution.
