MILWAUKEE, Wis, December 10
Pal Brown. the Minnesota lightweight,
who is at present in Australia filling an
engagement with Snowy Baker. writes
that he wants to get a crack at the light
weight champion; that he will not be sat
isfied until he does. Have been hav-
ing a splendid time since defeating Me
hogan, the local Australian champion,
writes Pal, land / would have had an
other big match with Owen Moran. the
British featherweight champion, had he
remained here, but he left. and my next
opponent will be Herb Mccoy, who is
considered by many better than Michigan.
l will also go out of my class and take
on Matt Wells and Harry Stone at 40
pounds II called OH. What j want then
is to meet Willie Richie for the worlds
title, or / will first meet Freddy Welsh,
the British title holder. as, IL | beat him.
I will have right to demand a match
of Richie for the worlds championship.
am a full-fiedged American and think
have right to demand Of Richie A
fair show for the honor. | will not ask
any odds of Richie, but will meet him at
133 ringside or 133 rinSsidc, whichever
he prefers, and the distance will suit m :
anywhere from ten 10 forty rounds, but
suppose that twenty will be the limit.
When 1 was in Milwaukee last spring
Richie promised me match the
coast In case l came along all right, and
don't think he can object now after
what ] have shown. l feel that he is a
fair lad and will treat me fair, so that
when 1 return to the states / want to
get into action for championship match.
You can say for me, too, that l will glad
ly take on Leach Cross, Joe Rivers.
Charlie White, Joe Mandot or Bud An
derson. and If Packey Mcfarland will
make 135 at ) O'Clock for me | will bat
tie him and wager 5000 OF my own coin
on the result, but nothing under twenty
rounds. The same goes for Jack Britton
or any of the hehtweights. Dave Smith
beat Bill Lang here the other day and
made great hit, as Lang was the heavy
weight champion of the country and out
weighed Smith by twenty pounds. The
defeat of Johnny Summers by Harry
Stone was also surprise, and ] have
offered to meet Summers at 40 ringside.
McGoorty will draw big house when he
comes with Dave Smith, for the. latter is
very popular here now. Ray Bronson
will be matched with Summers for a
championship welterweight match when
he comes and it is probable that | will
have Young Saylor for an opponent. Re-
member me to the boys. PAL
AS a general rule when two really
clever boxers are matched the result
| that is. from a fighting .standpoint-s
not very satisfactory, but promoters are
compelled sometimes to make these kind
OF matches in order to satisfy the de-
mandS of the followers of the game.
This was the case in the match between
Packey Mcfarland and Jack Britton. two
rival Chicago boys. in their ten-round
contest before the Queensbury Athletic
Club at the palatial Auditorium in Mil
waukee the past week. The critics-that
| is, the great majority of them-agreed
| that Mcfarland had won the contest
by fair margin of points, but there
were few of them who stated very
| plainly that the battle was not what
was to be expected of two men with the
i regulations Of Mcfarland and Britton
! These boys had met twice before, and
| from the accounts or the contests there
was more action in them than the last
one. That. too. usually is the case where
| men are rematched, for they are more
| familiar with one another's style, and
naturally. do not seek to take too many
| chances. There is no doubt but thai
| Mcfarland is one Of the cleverest meT
| in the world today. but he seemed to b.
/ off form in this contest, for frequently
| he missed Britton, and his judgment OF
] distance was not OF the best. OF course
Britton must be given consideration fol
1 being able to make man like ncFar
! land miss 1t is to the credit OF Brttor
| that he was able at times himself &c
score on the clever Packey without re
/ turn.
| During the first five rounds Brittor
| more than held the Chicago marvel even
! but after that Packey began to gauge
i his distances better and to land witt
/ more steam behind his blows. He had
an advantage of eight pounds in weigh,
/ (this is very nearly correcO over BRIT
/ ton. and this began to tell on Jack be-
/ fore the .thre. quarter way station was
! reached 1t is all right for a good mar
/ 20 give away weight to an inferior one
/ but il is a hard proposition for good
/ man to give away weight 10 one who Is

many were Of the opinion that McFar.
