McFarland's ring status Is peculiar.
He belongs to no particular division.
He repudiates with seorn the sugges-
ti9n that he call himself welter-
weight yet his actual poundage pre-
vents him from meeting lightweights
on equal terms. However. he is always
willing to overlook graeiously weight
shortage in his opponents, Packey is
one boxer who is not afraid to go out
of his class lie would Just as soon
meet a lightweight as welterweight
any time.
1t has always been something of a
mystery why it is that Mcfarland does
SO little damage to his opponents. lie
seems to hit with tremendous force vet
he accomplishes little destruction, as
his record of late wears shows But the
mystery was one no longer to those
who had eyes to see what was going
on during his bout with Jack Britton
last week
Mcfarland does not clench his fists
The reason for this is not that he
is a t all squeamish about doing harm to
his rivals or that he is afraid of injur-
ing his hands. 1t is simply because he
wishes TO avoid becoming fatigued
Fatigue is the one thing all clever

proach their skill fades away. leaving
them at the mercy of their less cunning
but more enduring rivals. Mcfarland
has evolved scheme that enables him
to overcome this difficulty to some eX-
tent He found out early in his ca
reer thai clenching the fist and tight
ening all the muscles of the arm soon
caused him TO become weary and lose
speed. But how to overcome this was
problem. To omit closing the fist
meant that he would be unable to strike
heavy blow. Clearly something must
be sacrificed. Mcfarland solved the
problem in a way that only a FcFar-
land could have done. by holding his
hands loosely closed and thus creating
the impression that he was hitting with
both speed and force. BY this means
he gets credit for scoring decisive
points without sacrificing the amount
of strength that is necessary in landing
real blows. his wonderful skill enabling
him TO get away with the trick unde-
tected.

1t was the first utterance that has
given any intimation Of what the

CULLEN'S RECORD-BREAKIN
LOAD OF COTTON
Georgia Farmer Piled Thirty Bales
on One Wagon

Dublin, Ga, Oct. 2S.-Thirty
bales OF cotton were brought here on
one wagon Yesterday by George Cul-
len, a large planter living about ten
miles from Dublin. The load was
hauled from his farm on a steel
frame. rOllerbearing wagon with a
team of nine mules. and the prime
cause of his bringing so much at one
time was wager with the man who
sold him the wagon as to its ability
to carry the load.
The load OF cotton attracted a
great deal Of attention. and was car
riei to one of the local warehouses,
where a photograph OF it was made
and then it was auctiOned off on the
wagon. to the highest bidder. 1t
brought II cents all round. the APP
proXimate value OF the load being
s2,1OO.
This is the second heavy load of
cotton that Mr. Cullen has brought
to Dublin in recent years. The first
time several years ago he brought
| twenty-five bales and this was a
much more difficult undertaking g
than the thirty bales this time. ow-
ing to the better condition OF the
roads and the specially constructed
wagon The man who wagered that
