clause would have little good effect and he knows some players who would refuse to sign them.
 McGraw is quoted as follows:
 'T believe they would regard such a contract as an attempt to interfere with their personal liberty. Some might sign such an agreement, but if they wanted drink they would get 1t anyway. And know others who never touch intoxicants at all who would refuse ta sign it.
 "All baseball managers know that a drinking man cannot make a success of the game and it does not take long to find him out. The game today is almost 8 science and men engaged in it must have clear, active brains with the faculty to think and act quickly. A man who has been da11ying with the Red Badge of Courage cannot do this, and 1t does not take long to spot him. Yet there are ball players, and good ones, who take intoxicants in moderation every day, but never let it interfere with their work. With oth- CTS 1t is either a feast or a famine. One drink means that the distilIeries will have to work overtime until their 7voracious appetite has been satisfied. These are the fellows who do not last; it makes no difference if they are stars in the beginning. They cannot stand up under such conditions and keep in the game

Baker had granted him one postpone me11t with Brown and also gave him other favors, but was very much sur prised when he learned of his cutting the country. Moran was under con- tract to fill two more contests. W. F. Corbett of the Sydney Sun says that Moran considered Brown too danger ous a man to take a chance with and side stepped him. From the above it is evident that the little farmer boy from Minnesota has made them all sit up and take notice.
 The champion, Willie Ritchie, will clash with Leach Cross, the New York dentist, the last of this month and it should be a hard, fast bout unless Leach gets stage fright the same as Kid Julian did against Johnny Kill bane in New York a couple of weeks ago, and forgets that he is fighting a man like himself Ritchie should have the advantage, and barring one of those wild haymakers, should out point the New Yorker.
 One of the real clashes between light weights will be when Charlie White and Leach Cross come togeth- CT. Both are Hebrews and both seek are the most bitter rivals and most anxious to settle the question between themselves Cross and White would be one grand attraction around Chi cago for there are many fans who would pay considerable to see them in action
 Packey Mcfarland, too, wants to get busy again around the Windy City, but there is some doubt about the stockyards boy getting down to the light weight limit as established by the various commissions-135 pounds. Rumors have been out that Packey will enter the welter weight ranks and take on Mike Gibbons, but has not yet verified the same N There is no doubt that if Packey should decide to be- come a weter he would be credited with the title without hesitation by all writers, for there are none at 145 ringside who have any license to beat him, not even Mike Gibbons, but there is considerable question about Mike being able to make 145 ringside.

ATRtETICS DID NOT
 WORK DOUBLE SQUEEZE


 Philadelphia fans have only one com plaint to make about the showing made by the Mackmen in the recent series with the Giants for the cham pionship or the world, certain Quaker City enthusiasts feeling very much disappointed because the White Ele- plants did not pull their justly cele- brated squeeze play against the Me Grawites.
 The Athletics worked the double squeeze eight times during the cham pionsl1ip race, Jack Barry being the man at the plate every time the per formance was staged. The Mackmen generally tried the play when hedg- ling pitchers were. working against them, but once they pulled it when there was such an accomplished mound artist as Walter Johnson toi1- ing.

Freddy also had the unpleasant experience of losing to Paekey Mcfarland in a short bout in Milwaukee. but at the time the clubs doctor said it was a foul on the part of Packey. The other night Freddy had match with Mi1burn Saylor of Indianapolis at Winnipeg and in the ninth round he claimed he was fou1ed, although Saylor and his manager, Ray Bronson, are just as positive that no foul was committed, but that Welsh had been put out with a solar plexus blow WOlgaSt, prev ions to his setback in California, had his arm broken twice in bouts around IiIwaukee, and the latest accident came this week when he started to train for Charlie White of Chicago and had his rib fractured the first day, although it is believed to be the result of an old injury. Joe Rivers, Leach Cross and Harlem Tommy Murphy have all suffered by losing big matches through similar accidents, and now word comes from Australia that Pal Brown, yho defeated the Australian champion, Hughey Niche gan, recently, has lost a good match through the leaving of Owen Moran, the British light weight, after having been matched up with the Minnesota boy for a big bout received a cable from Sydney the other day saying g: Moran left suddenly for the states after being matched with Pal Brown for Nov 15- No one knew anything af his deDarture for the states Snowy

PACKEY M'FARLAND, 25 TOMORROW, IS A MONARCH
 WITHOUT A GROWN

You may shed sad. salt tears over poor ex-King Manuel of Portugal, and sob bitterly over the untoward fate of the boob without country. You may, if you want to. Unfortunate as Is their lot, not less so is that of the pug1ist without a class. Because of having had too much or too little meat on their bones many first class fighting men have been denied the crowns that nature gave them. Fore most of the living uncrowned kings of fstiana is Packey Mcfarland, the pride of the Chicago stock yards, and, in the opinion of many, the greatest of present-day boxers. Mcfarland will celebrate his twenty-hfth birth day tomorrow, and he has been scrap ping ten years. He is still stranger to defeat, and yet he wears no crown upon his bean, while others of lesser ability occupy the calcium of cham pionship If Packey could get light on a way to weigh a little lighter, he could weigh in as a lightweight, and lick all the lightweights while they wait but the way matters stand he is not light enough in weight to weigh as light as lightweight ought to weigh, and they way to tutu1ar honOrs is closed to him.
 Patrick was born in Chicago on All Saints Day in 1888. During his de- cade in the ring he has accun u1ated a fortune or not less than a quarter of a million dollars-an average of $25,OOO a year. All of this vast and, to a sporting writer, incompreh ensfble bunch of kale has been salted down and gives Packey steady income from the dividends stocks and bonds and the rental from buildings Packey has threatened to retire from the ring tomorrow, his twenty-fifth birthday, and take up the study of law The young boxer who looks like an alert and intelligent business or
