y I'VE me eight weeks time and
II let Mcfarland follow my in
structious as to training and
I viii put him in the ring at 1873
pounds at o'clock or 135 ringside and
have him strong and fast, or forfeit
$4,000" remarked Billy Nolan man
ager of Willie Richie, the champion
lightweight while discussing the
weight question
Il do not mean that I viii use
sweating methods or such as that to
get Mcfarland in condition and down
TO weight" continued Billy, but that l
viii give him a thorough course OF
training and work him down gradually
so that he viii retain all his strength
and at the same time be as fast il
not faster. than ever Mcfarland IS a
boy who carries cOnsiderab bic weight II
he does not keep in shape and he IS
also tail for q lightweight, but Ivy
proper traisinE he can make the
weight easily. The trouble is few OF
the boxers nowadays train properly
They seem to be imbued with the idea
that once athey are fighting the
stars ali they have to do is go along
and box q little and If they get big
fight, why two weeks work IS sup
posed to be sufficient
That is where they all make a MS
take. A boxer should train as hard
for what he considers SOFT match as
q tough one. for he never knows what
he is going against and If he hap
pens to be out of shape and the other
fellow is tough and willing TO take a
chance, he Is liable TO make things &c
ciLedIy interesting for M star
As to Mcfarland. there has been
much talk about making weight to-
Richie. Now Willie is champion and
a legitimate lightweight, as ne mace
the IS3 ringside for WOlgasL without
bother They tell me Mcfarland can
do better than 135 at o'clock ana
then he must work overtime Wen,
my offer stands about fOrfeiting $1,000
if 7 fail to put him in proper shape IN
eight weeks time and bring him 10
1875 ringside or 1913 at 3 o'clock. or even
6 o'clock weighing Of course 1 would
not train him in a city, but would
take him to my ranch near san FRAN
cisco and put him through regular
course and have his stamina better
than ever and his general makeup
improved
He would have to follow my advice
implicitly as to the training meJhoGs'
and while it would not be terribly
hard work it would not be child play
such as many fights look In the gym
uasiums. This is not intended as a
slight on the training methods 81
Packey's manager but simply TO snow
the faith I have in my own ideas on
training"

the ST. Paul 1873 FOUNDER when they
recently met at Grand Rapids, Mich
in a six round contest
Jack SAYS there is something wrong
somewhere. for each time he has met
Rude he has been like one in trance
and cannot account for his strange
actions why, when I fought RUDE
in Milwaukee two years ago, 5aid
Jack Il acted almost the same as when
I met him in Grand RaDids-that Is
did not realize what was doing ana
seemed unable to connect my thoughts
or fight as always do
"Tn the Milwaukee bout knew that
Rude was getting TO me when ne
pleased. but I seemed unable 10 prevent
it until Teddy Murphy, who was IN
my corner. began to roast me- plenty
for NOT putting up some kind Of
fight instead of acting as receiver gen
