The map shows generally fair weather

for day or so longer, indications are for
rain and bad weather to come on the
belt from the northwest, followed by a
cold wave in the next few days.
Our market opened about Is points

UnfaVOrable weather prospects and the

probable that the difference from Liver

The large Indian crop is a serious com

Packey wanted to weigh in at 135 at three o'clock and Ad was leary of the extra 32 ounces. Even as it is. Ad won't have it that the title is at stake. taking the leeWay in return for the two pounds
 As the best possible match in the lightweight division. Wolgast and Packey will be sure to draw good crowds even if as. the champ stip- ulates, there is nothing doing in the honor losing line They came together about promoter and gave the first bid to Billy Gibson of the Madison Square Athletic club in New York Ad will get s22,5O0 and Mcfarland very much less out of the fight
 Since 'fc above was whispered over inc wires rumor has taken form to the effect that Senor Ad Wolgast has agair gotten his champion high horse out for exercise. Tom Jones' the Cali fornia fight manager. has said Ad is not really matched for a fight with Packy Mcfarland q have a private telegram from Ad in which he states he has positively not made such a match.

 onliest one of the American associa-
 tion the majority of the left handlers
 are not enjoying honorable good

 the top of the heap, it's true, but
 the remainder of the portsiders are
 so far below their standard this sea = son. they are almost out of sight
 below the horizon
 Even Vean Gregg is doing none too well this year He has lost more games this season so far than he did all last year Only two other Amer ican league lefties beside Gregg and Plank have succeeded in winning half their games. and they are Ray Col lins of Boston and Pennock of the Athletics The Philly youngster has won one and lost one while Pennock has broken even in six games
 Mogridge of the White Sox and Hamilton of the Browns have lost more than they have won. Jin, Vaughan has copped three out of twelve, and Willie Mitchell of the Maps two out of eight Lefty George has not made single mark on his Won column to offset the five big black ones in the next space
 So it certainly looks like rainy weather for the left hand beavers.
