Wisconsin Promoters Are Losers
Mcfarland Not Welter.

Wisconsin boxing promoters, VINO
rushed in to make big cleanup as
soon as the boxing law was enacted
in that state, are finding that the
public is growing wiser, and wants
value received when it's money goes
through a box Office window.
In their eagerness to grab the coin
the promoters began scheduling
fights right and left, and the results
were conflicting dates, and fights two
or three nights in the week within a
short distance of each other. The
outcome has been financial loss to
hackers of the shows.
In Kenosha and Racine there has
been big shortage, and in Fond du
Lac the other night the promoters
lost $500 on the Sullivan-C Christie
bout. Milwaukeeans have Jared bet
ter, but they are due Tor an upset
unless they keep their fights spaced
well apart. 4
To make money these Wisconsin
clubs must draw certain amount of
patronage from Chicago. and local
fans will not make trips too often,
and they want good fight at the
end of the journey.
Packey Mcfarland is back in town,
and has killed the report that he
would graduate into the welterweight
class. Mike Gibbons must make 142
pounds instead of 145 for the stock
yards boy, and the chances are he
will refuse the bout under these con-
ditions. In any event, Packey will
not take on any of the welters bur
Gibbons.
While in New York Mcfarland
came to an agreement with Jack
-Britton, whereby the two Chicagoans
will box before the Wisconsin club
offering the best inducements,
Weight has been agreed on, and the
fight will be definitely arranged as
soon as bids from the clubs begin to
come in.

OF ALL SORTS BOXING
Speaker Still Loyal to Jake Stahl-
Hermann Laughs at War.

The story published universally at
the time Jake Stahl was deposed as
manager of the Boston Red Sox, that
there was dissension among the
former worlds champions, is
strengthened by the action of Iris
Speaker in remaining in Chicago as
the guest of Stahl for two days after
he was supposed to have left to join
the White Sox and Giants on their
tour Of the world.
Speaker reached Chicago Wednes-
day, and was supposed to have left
the same day to join the Sox. He
failed to report, and Tip O'Neil dug
him up last night at the home of
Stahl, and sent him on his way to
st. Joseph, Mo, where he plays in
the outfeld with the Galatians this
afternoon.
After Bill Carrigan was appointed
manager of the Red Sox there were,
insistent reports that all the players
did not like his leadership, and were
in sympathy with Stahl. Speaker was
said to be the leader of the insur-
gents, and it was intimated that he;
might have to be traded in the inter-
est of harmony. President McAleer
emphatically denied there was trou-
BILE.
Nevertheless the action of Speaker
backs up the story, and shows him
still loyal to his old boss. President
McA1eer will make the world trip as
President Comiskey's guest, and it is
probable he and Iris will hold a long
confab on the matter while the play
ers are on the ocean. Speaker is the
strong man of the Red Sox, and his
best efforts will be needed if they are
to be factor in the race next season.
Three doubles and four home runs
off of Hooks Wiltse enabled the White
Sox to trim the Giants yesterday at
Blue Rapids, Kan. Weaver and Chase
each raped a double and homer.

Dear Aunt:
You cannot imagine how
much Colorado has improved
since the last time you were
here. We have very fine
climate and short winters and
long cool winters.
Colorado needs a larger
population because there are
large buildings to be construc-
ted and thousands of acres to
be cultivated. Colorado raises
a great deal of sugar beets
and is second in the raising in
sugar beets.
There are plenty farms here
and if all the eggs were strung

from here to New York. Fruit
is raised here especially in the
valleys where there is fertile
soil, walls are built to protect
them from the wind.
