u sta STAR i pay to De prize ring
Well, not long ago Packey
McFarland's bit for a ten-round bout
in New York was $1,000, something
much better than each of the Athleti-
les rake-o off from the Worlds Series.
Which is a lot of money for a
young man of 25 to draw down for
80 minutes actual work And when
this sum is contrasted to the weekly
wage of the same youngster when he
worked about the stockyards of Chi
cago and dragged down from $3.50
to "a every time the ghost walked,
there seems to be something in the
idea that clean living pays.
Mcfarland to-day is understood to
be worth at least $4,000 and every
penny of it is his through the fact
that he decided that success in life
was worth more than smoking booze
fighting and the other vices of those
with whom he began life, but quickly
passed in his climb upward
FIGHTING, even Mcfarland acknowl-
1 edges, is not very classy business
He would much rather be a captain
VI lnuustTy, out Wnen he determined
to make a real business of boxing,
he went into the game to succeed,
and by strict attention to his bust
ness made a nice little fortune and
also made thousands of friends all
over the country through his gentle
manly behavior. and right living.
pATR1CK MCFARLAND was born
in Chicago on November l, 1888.
He began boxing professionally when
