MURPHY EASY FOR
 PACKEY M'FARLAND

Kenosha, Wis. December 17,-Packey Mcfarland of Chicago earned a de- cision over Eddie Murphy of Boston in their 10-round fight here last night. Murphy lost two teeth and was knocked down in the last round. his right eye cut open and finished the fight sorry spectacle, although apparently still strong and willing. Packey was never in danger. He rained blows on Mur- phy almost at will but the knockout punch was never in evidence though Murphy was often in distress. Packey landed 10 blows to Murphy''s one and left the ring with no marks. Mur- phys best round was the fifth but ev- cry other round was McFarland's by a wide margin. The fight was at catch weights, with Murphy having a trifle the better of it. There was no official decision.

Cardinal end Of a deal. for no sooner had Mrs. Britton learned the nature of the proposed exchange than the little manager demanded that Clarke add an- other player to the Plttsburg part of the offer. Clarke instantly relieved his system of some eloquent remarks con corning figure-head pilots and called off negotiations.
 Since casting Bresnahan adrift, the Cardinals are clearly weakened behind the bat, for they must depend almost entirely upon Wingo. Konetchy is said to be dissatisfied with the terms of his contracts in the past, and Huggins, it appears, did not agree with the big candymaker on many matters and would have been glad to let him go in return for good material.
