Packey Grows Rich Fighting Dubs
Mcfarland Is Foolish Like a Fox

Packey Mcfarland, peerless
boxer, is peeved and refuses to
permit his neighbors and friends
to see him box--not If they pay
for the chance.
Packey wants to be a member
of the Illinois legislature = a
democratic member, as his name
indicates-and to help make laws,
although it peeves him when he
is called upon to obey the laws
which other legislators formulate.
Packey is clever boy. He has
climbed the pugilistic ladder to
the pinnacle by the effective use
of clever hands and feet, ably
seconded by the most remarkable
matchmaking in pugflism.
No one ever accused McFar-
land of cowardice-and got away
with it. Yet you may search the
records and fail to discover where
Packey, since he became famous,
has fought an opponent over
whom he did not have consider
able advantage.
Time was, and not so long ago,
when the friends of the idol of
the stockyards" claimed the light
weight champions would not give
Mcfarland chance. The
chance" they asked was to let
Mcfarland fight legitimate
lightweight and outweigh him
anywhere from five to ten
pounds.
Some "chance" that!
1t is a fact that Mcfarland
could not make the lightweight
limit--or even weigh 1876 pounds
ringside--unless one Of his legs
was sawed off at the knee-and
of what use is a one-legged box
err?
Mcfarland has been a welter-
weight for years, but he has gone
along making matches with real
lightweights - usually second
raters, with an occasional first
class boxer thrown in for an ex-
ceptionally rich purse, and letting
the boys in his own class severely
alone.
Mcfarland could do this for
two reasons; the first was that
promoters were willing because
he is so marvellous a boxer. In
action he is a phantom slipping
in and out, boxing with the preci-
sion of machine, and the fans
are always willing to pay to see
him work; the second reason Is
the willing ness of most boxers to
take a chance. He has grown
rich at the game.

BASKETBALL OUTLOOK NOT VERY
HOPEFUL FOR THE N|ETHOD|STS

A soon rs the holidays are
over, efforts will be made at the
ball teams among the boys and
girls, although It must be con-
fesscd the present outlook is du-
bl0us.
This has been a very bad year
for athletics at the Methodist uni
versity, anyway. The burning OF
the gymnasium proved a severe
handicap at the very outset of the
season. The football team suf-
cred from the lack of experienced
players, and 1t appears that the
Basketball team will be up
against the same proposition.
The recent announcement iof
Arvid Beck that he would be I'M
able to play this season has done
much to shroud the basket-ballers
in gloom. Graham is the only
experienced player left, and a
number of new men are being
tried out in the position of guard.

ONE OF BASEBALl'S
GREATEST GAMES

Which one of all the games
played since baseball earned its
place in the hearts of the people
can be chosen as the greatest OF
all time?
It would be an almost impossi-
BILE task to name the greatest
game, but baseball is dotted here
and there with high lights which
stand out from the dull drah
monotone of the ordinary mark
ing the greatest games, and il
is our purpose to tell the readers
of tie Times.
One of these was the Thinning
tie of the Athletics and Tigers
September 80, 1907.
Although a tie, it did much to
help Detroit to the first of its
three successive pennants and
caused the adoption of the Amer
lean league rule to play off post
pcned or tie games at the first
opportunity.
On September 2S Detroit and
Athletics were tied for the lead,
with Chicago and Cleveland dan-
gerous.
With a postponed game before
them, Connie Mack elected to
play 1t off the last day of the Sc
fies instead of the first day, as
now,
When darkness ended the game
in the 18th the score was 80 and
it was never played off. Umpire
Silk O'Laughlin started riot in
the 18th whe nCrawford dropped
Davis fly at the edge Of the
crowd, and upon his claim that a
spectator purposely interfered
with him Silk called Davis out.
In the melee Rossman struck
Monte Cross and the crowd surg
ed onto the field. Police prevent
ed a free-for-all and O'Laughlin
chased Rossman.
Bill Donovan pitched the entire
game and, after being hit safely
IA times in seven innings, held
the Mackmen to six hits in the

CADDY TOURNAMENT IS
WON BY YOUG GENIN

Genin is 16 years of age, and
lives at Manitou. He attends the
Edison school.
Quite a number of the caddies
showed good form and played re-
markable golf for youngsters,
one little fellow named Neil
Christian putting up splendid
game.
The only two of the tourna-
ment was made by Clair Kicker
on the 18th hole. He drove the
bali from tee to pin on the first
stroke and sank it with short
putt.
The card turned in is a record
for caddy tournament, the best
previous score being 103.

Genin's victory was not accom-
