ONE ROUND HOGAN

New York. March s.-"One Round"
Hogan's poor showing in his ten
round encounter with Packey McFar-
land was a matter of much gossip to-
day among the hundreds of fans who
witnessed his disappointing exhibition.
Many held that Hogan was afraid to
mix matters with the stockyards
champion, while others were Of the
opinion that he was bewildered by the
wonderful footwork of his opponent.
Hogan announced that he Intended
to mix matters from the start, but he
evidently changed his mind the min
ute he entered the ring. He failed to
land more than ten good punches and
contented himself with covering up
and trying to evade punishment in
nearly every round.

Issues Def to Mike Gibbons,
Worlds Champion, And
to Packey McFarland

indianapolis. Ind. March S.-Mike
Gibbons of st. Paul recently came out
with Il public statement that he is the
welterweight boxing champion. setting
the welterweight limit at las pounds,
ringside. 1t a his assertion that I
demanded that he make l42 pounds,
--ingside, to meet me. This. however.
is not thu case. as my challenge to
Gibbons, offering n side bet of $1,000
was made with the weight requirement.
at 142 pounnas. six hours before the
fight. ! AGAIN wish to make this chal-
ienge public and am willing to sign
articles any time to back it up.
Any boxing follower who is we'll
posted in the rules and conditions
knows hat the welterweight limit in
142 pounds six hours before the fight.
Any boxer who makes claim to the
welterweigl1t class and who fights
legitimately in that division expects to
meet that requirement. This Glib
bons refuses to do. so l am inclined
to resent his attack on my claim to
the title.
Wants a Long Fight.
If Mike Gibbons chooses to meet me
for the w~elterWeight championship /
will post any size forfeit Immediately
to meet him at any time. leaving the
bout to go to the club making the best
offer. prefer that 1t be not less than
20 rounds, but am willing to go any
distance Gibbons wants over that.
This much-touted st. Paul marvel was
whipped nicely by Young Erne in "A
siX-round parlor party last year, and
l trimmed Erne to a queens taste in
Indianapolis recently. so it seems that
Mr.. Gibbons doesn't have such a big
edge on me at that.
Erne admitted after my fight with
him that he could not beat me-. SO
it is up to Gibbons to put up his coin
and meet me or admit that he can't
do the legitimate welterweight re-
clever boy. but I've met scores of that
kind and my record shows what right
I have to the present weltcr title.
The only other way to settle this argu-
ment is to leave the weight question
to a board OF experts. but unless the
rule Of years is to be set aside I know
that my side of the controversy is ac-
curately set forth.
Also Challenges Packcy.
I have challenged Packey McFar-
land of Chicago on the same basis as
that the Stockyards Boy would give
me the hardest battle of the two.
Packey is light for the maximum well
terweight. but fights in that class most
of the time. 1 believe that if McFar-
land and Gibbons were matched at
l42-pound weight the st. Paul man
would take a nasty beating. This
w~elterweight argument should include
Wild Cat" Ferns of Kansas City, as
l believe he is as good as the other
I'VE boys l am after.
I probably will meet Ferns at Kan
a City SOON. and the process Of elm
ination will start there. for l am conf
dent that l can battle my way through
this trio without being stopped. Again,
l make the assertion that l am willing
to lay my coin on the boards alons
with the rest Of them and defend the
believe is Justly mine. If any of them
want my game. let them cover the
money. sign articles. post the forfeit
and then fight. They can do their
talking afterward.
