, ing men who do not class with Paekey
and he is too good business man to
pass them up. After Richie has
cleaned I'D the easy members" he may
talk business with Mcfarland.
Mcfarland told me recently he had
just about made up his mind to quit
the game entirely He has been chaS-
ing the champions for the past half
dozen years, but as yet has never sue
ceeded in getting one Of them in the
ring with him. As he is not growing
younger and must some day meet with
defeat if he keeps at the game he
very sensibly figures that the time
to get out is drawing closer every
day. Mcfarland could retire now rec
ogniZed as the greatest lightweight in
the ring, although he has never held
title to the championship.
Packey says he vii stick around
awhile longer, however. If Richie viii
agree to give him a battle. And he
says he will make weight for Richie,
too But not for anyone else, Hard
training does not appeal to Mcfarland
any more. The novelty Of the thing
has long worn off, and nothing short
of a championship match would be in
ducement enough for him to make the
lightweight limit.
If any boxer ever deserved a match
for the championship it is Packey Nc
Farland- He stands out today as the
premier boxer OF his weight in the
world and is the only American light
weight who looks to have as good as
an even chance with Richie
It will not be the fault Of Billy
Gibson, matchmaker for the Madison
Square Garden club, If a bout is not
arranged between Mcfarland and
Richie for this fall Gibson has been
working on the match ever since
Richie won the title from Wolgast
When Ad WOlgast was WOrsted a
few weeks ago nv lose AZavado he
gave it out that he intended to quit the
ring for all time, that he realized he
was all in and had no desire to remain
in the game to be beaten up by second
raters.
I was glad to hear that bit of news.
nothing pains a lover of the sport more
than to see a. boy who was champion OF
his class beaten by third raters-who
would have been marks for him when
at his best. And that is what hap
pened to Ad when this AzeEedo fighter
trimmed him.
Now I understand that Wolgast has
recons1dered and will resume his ca
reer in the ring after a short rest.
Strangest thing in the world about ex-
champion boxers Almost impossible
to convince them they have seen their
best days. 1 know how it is. So do
AL those who have been through the
mill. Wolgast still thinks he can beat
Richie, and he is honest in that be-
lief, too. But Willie would stop VOL
CAST in short order if they ever came
together again, or I am no judge.
Richie was a comparative beginner
when he beat Ad- He realized that
he had to fight cautiously, that the
champion was in front of him. that
he could not afford to take too many
chances, and therefore curbed his ma
tural inclination to take the aggressive

The latest arrival is Al Reich, for
several years amateur heavyweight

out Sailor" White, a local trial horse
in five rounds. He was knocked out
in his second fight Friday night by
Carl Morris.

TEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The calling
~ off of the Willie intellectually
= Welsh match at Vancouver was
a big knock to boxing in western Can
ada. Richie says he withdrew be-
cause the promoters failed to live up
to their agreement to deposit that s15.-
600 guarantee. or any part of it, in ad-
vance Naturally Freddy Welsh is a
sore individual and it looks as if he
were given very shabby deal, but if
Richie tells the truth the promoters
only are responsible for the fizzle.
Richie is not in the game for the
love of it any more than the fellows
who handle the promotion end of the
game, and when he refused a number
of corking good offers from California
and New York promoters and accepted
the offer of the Canadians to box Welsh
he naturally expected to get the
amount guaranteed him. At that it was
not so much the money with Willie as
it was a desire to get hulk" with
Welsh for the loss of a 20 round decis-
ion at Los Angeles two years ago that
prompted him to accept the VANCOUVER
proposition
Richie lived up to his end of the
bargain with the promoters. He poised
$4,000 for weight and appearance. But
when he discovered that the SIS, 900
was not forthcoming decided he had
been handed the raspberry" and liked
for home to protect his own good
money he had previously posted in the
shape of check on a San Francisco
bank.
While Welsh has a good kick coming

that the BritOn had been injured and
that the bout had been postponed until

of defeat, as several dispatches put it,

faith in every way with everybody con-
