round was even, neither man doing any
damage, but in the second Packey came
out of his shell and clearly had the
lead over his lighter opponent. Both
men were jeered as they went to their
corners at the end Of the third round.
Neither man seemed anxious to fight,
although Mcfarland reached Britton
q everal times with lefts to the jaw.
It was McFarland's round.
Britton took the lead in the fourth
round after both men had been warned

did all the leading and although Packey
