that. he has outgrown the. lightweight

is now a full f1edged welter. If the
latter report Is true 1t will be q case

Mr.. Packey. Even were he able to

TONS.
That old talk about a match be-
tween Mcfarland and Mike Gibbons
has been revived but L doubt IL any,
thing will come. of it just -nows' Glib
bons would hardly consent TO box
under $50 pounds ringside:; and that
give away to a boxer of the skill Of
the st. Paul man. When Mcfarland
boxed Jack Britton last spring he en-
tered the ring around 140 pounds. but
in spite of all the critics had to say
about his increasing avoirdupois the
fact is he was several pounds too
heavy in that engagement to do his
best; The truth Of 1.-the, matter Is that
Mcfarland was so confident Of his
superiority over his fellow townsman
that he did not apply the, usual
amount Of energy to his training OPP
epations-and only did few; days. pre-
paratory work for the match. And
in the ring that evening he so far
outclassed Britton that the bout was
too ope-sided to be interesting,
To get back to the subject. Of Glib
bons and Mcfarland getting together.
There is no. one between Packey and
Richie that would stir up so much
excitement as a set-to between. Glib
bons and Mcfarland. While the bout
would determine no championship,
both men being betwixt and between
classes. according to the popular in
terpretation Of the weight governing
the several divisions. it would furnish
the fans with a spectacular exhibition
of scientific boxing. But as Packey
would hardly. weigh more. than, 40
at the most, and Gibbons would stick
out for $50. 1t Is not likely the match
makers will be successful in their at
tempts to bring the boys. together.
