Most Magnates Are Out For the Money

OF LOUIS, Mo, Dec. I9.-Real Sports
in .BasebalL-Sure, Bo-there are
such animals Although you seem
about to ruin that split lip over the
idea We have them with us, right
here in st. Louis, where there is one
cwner who insists tEat he must not be
quoted or brought into publicity, uni sss
he sanctions II, and another who man
ufactures beer and yet voted not to sell
liquor on the grounds Of the park he
is interested in.
They do it differently, elsewhere. A
New York brewer has bought the Yam
KEGS, insisting on wet grandstand
with his own product as the sole
dampener.
Baseball has men with bread to sell.
restaurants to fill, beer to consume
and other personal axes TO grind. OF
sportsmen it has very, very few Let's
count them: Gov. Tener, Lannin of the
Red SoX, Gaffney Of the Braves, Phil
Ball and Otto Stifel of the Terriers,
Sky Britton of the Cards at times)
and perhaps Ward Of Brooklyn and
Garry Hermann of Cincinnati.
Others may have started out to be
sports, but they appear to have missed
the goal and found the road to Nam

The Ups and Downs.
Showing at a local theater is an old
pugilistic acquaintance of other days,
Nick Sanford, who in his mills with
Harry Trendau and other local lights,
caused many a west end crowd to stand
up and make a noise like delight. by
his wildcat fighting.
Sanford is putting on a slIit that is
Tar above the average attempt, by pu-
gilists with stage ambitions, to show
off little boxing. A love story leads
up to the mill with the champion, in
which Nick for a aE00 I'd a nd hn
girl" not only stays four rounds, but
drops the title-holder for the count
Nick puts the punch into the show
he used to put it into his fighting, in
the old days. Ask Harry Trendall, who
has climbed since that time, while Nick
hasn't taken his place in the sun, yet
OF the two, most of the West End club
spectators would have picked Sanford
to climb higher than Trendall.
Doctor! Examine This FeIiOEvl
Packey Mcfarland declares he will
get back into training for one man
Freddie Welsh, and then solely with
the idea of bringing back to America
the lightweight championship
From which we infer that Packey
figures he is abble TO beat Freddie with
one leg cut off at the hip.
That's the only seeming way in which
he could ever do the championship
weight for this class. Packey, no ex-
a6geration, quit the ring weighing
NAOhe 10 lou POUNDS | 4neY almost
matched him with Mike Gibbons, and
this bout would have been Packey's
class.
Mcfarland probably likes to be in
tervieWed much better than he does to
train. He doesn't have to fight, and
why should be torture himself with
work at a time Of life when training
becomes a labor of Hercules2
PRckey Has the Coin.
Mcfarland is a really and truly
wealthy lad. He admits the following
possessions:
1. Four hundred shares in the $175,-
600 Galligan Coke corporation in Chi
cagO.
2. Is director in the Joliet brewery,
holding 200 shares.
3. Owns a 200-acre farm in Laporte.
4. Is a stakeholder in the Peoples
