There has been talk of barring DUFFY
in wisconsin for not living up to his
agreement. hut from the trend of affairs
it appears that there has been a mis-
understanding all around.
Willie Richie is quoted by some papers
as having remarked that he could not
''see'' any match in Milwaukee except Ad
Wolgast or Packey Mcfarland. as it
would not paw for the haul Of his baggage
from New York to the beer city. OF
course. Willie NAV he carrying boat
load of baggage besides his iron light
weight" but even at that he might draw
enough to paw for the baggage to be
hauled. 1t might be well to recall that
Ketchel and Papke drew S24.000 for ten
rounds in Milwaukee and that Panke and
Kelly drew $4,000 and also over $a.0O at
cheap prices: while the advance sale for
the Mcfarland Wolgast match at the
Auditorium. which was called off. amount
ed to nearly $4,000. Not bad for a jay
beer town. eh? However. Willie is a
pretty wise boy and it is hardly possible
that he made such statement. or per-
haps he was misquoted. II Willie will
agree to tackle Packey Mcfarland at 13o
pounds at : o'clock the day of the con-
test we can assure him that he will re-
ceive enough, not only to pay for the
haul of his baggage to good old beer
town. but also to haul few extra loads
for his manager. genial Harry Foley, buy
few sparklers nat or two and a bot
tie of pop.
