he fought Eddie McGoorty. Mixes
best weight has been about $50
pounds, and Packey would be giving
too much weight away to meet Glib
bons at that poundage. The story is
going the rounds that Mike is willing
to do las pounds at 8 o'clock in the
afternoon, which would be 100 or more
ringside. Maybe SO. but Packey isn't
making any such uneven matches. AS
big lightweight he has been getting
the best of the weights. but there isn't
a man in the world with the weights
even who could give him beating.
1t isn't McFarland's fault that he is
so butt and that he is so clever, and
it isn't anything to his discredit,
either. He is a perfect little gentle
man in every way, and he is one of
the cleanest and fairest men in the
ring today. OF course, we would like
to see Packey box opponents who are
his equal weight, but We would rather
see him box lighter men and win
than heavier men and lose.

Irish Mahon has finally got wise
to himself" and has secured a real
manager. Hereafter Jimmy De For
est. who has one of the finest train
ing camps In the country at Allen
hurst. will look after the interests of
the local boy. AS De Forest states in
his letter to me. it Is surprising that
Mahon hasn't advanced more in his
profession. But how could he, mixed
un as he has been ever since he
started out In the business. De
Forest says in his letter. which fol-
lows. that he is going to bring Irish
to the front.
J. p. N:
7 have Just assumed the manage
ment of Irish Mahon, the Newark
featherweight, who has done some
remarkable work during his career
in the boxing game, but for reasons
which I am loss to understand, has
not progressed as rapidly toward the
top of his profession as his good
work deserves. 1t Is my candid be-
lief that Irish" is at the present
time the making of a real champion,
and in the future I shall devote my
efforts to bring him to the top of his
class. and / hope that within the
near future to have him in post on
where the boxing fans in general will
appreciate the ability of this clever
lad. At the present time l am in COM
munication with several matchmak-
ers of promising clubs, and expect
within a few days to announce the
date and club at which Mahon will
box his first bout under my manage
ment JIMMY DE FOREST.
Allenhurst. Nov. 4.
I have seen Mahon perform, and he
has lot of ability. but, like most
of the Newark boys, he has been
badly managed. Even though De
Forest may not be able to make a
champion of him, Irish will be much
better off In Allenhurst than he
would be in Newark.
