 1s01-Kid McPartland defeated Dave Barry in 10 rounds at Denver. McPartland was a classy boxer, but like Packey Mcfarland, he was handf- capped by being too heavy for the lightweight division and too light for the welterweight. He could make 133 pounds, but it left him weak and wab- bly, and unable to do his best. Mo Partland's famous left was nothing short of wonderful, but he never af- tained the same proficiency with his right The Kid won few bouts at the Hshtw eight limit, and in fighting wei terweights he was usually outclassed in weight. At that, Mcfarland was one of the best boxers of his era. and if he had been able to make the weight he might have become the champion of the lightweight division.
 1909-Dave DeshIer held Packey Mcfarland to draw in 12 rounds at Boston.

 We haven't any youngsters likely to show up as starrs but our old men are strong enough to offset any pos sfble weakness in the young material. The outfneld and inffeld remain fn- tact But there are Improvements in the battery that ought to give us

HOLDEN PRAISED
 BY FRANK CHANCE
Former New London Player Declared to Resemble
 Schulte of Cubs.
eNeu York Mai1.l


 That young fellow reminds me more and more of Frank Schulte ev- cry time I see him swing at a ball. said Frank Chance as Bill Holden, Yahkee outfielder, recently took his first turn at bat against the Buffalo International leaguers. He has the same careless. half-asleep sort of po- sition, and brings his bat down from his shoulders with the same sudden swipe. And hits ball just about as hard
 If he could run the bases. and slide I'd make one Of the games greatest outf1eIders of him, He judges a bat ted ball as well as any player have ever seen in action, and starts after a; fly faster. He is slower on his feet than any other outfielder on my team, yet covers as much territory as any of them, simply because he knows where to go. He can throw with any of them-and he can hit
 He has many of Schulte's manner isms at the plate. He doesn't ddget nervouslyx around as Try Cobb and Joe ters do Just to look at him one would imagine his thoughts were about 500 miles away from this par ticular ball field. Yet when he sees the ball he wants to hit at, that bat comes swinging off his shoulder with a IOTcc ana snap lIi<l SeIluH a. ps4l1 q long. long way.
 Few people not closely connected with the Chicago club have ever real ized fully just how hard ScI1ulte nits baseball Charley Murphy had some sort of understanding of the power behind SchuIte's swings, because it cost him considerable money. But few others ever have.
 s-As a batter, Schulte cost the Cubs more than any other six men that ever played in Chicago. not because of the balls he batted over the fence, but because Of the bats he broke in doing it. I'll wager that Schu1te nev- CT averaged less than twenty broken bats B season all the years he played with mo in Chicago.
 : Frank used a bats modelled after. his own particular idea and 1t is un- like any other bat in the National league-a club carrying all it's weight at the business end and with a handle almost as, thin as a. whiplash. Every time Schulte slightly misjudgN pitched ball and strikes it with any other section Of his bat than it's tip, 1t means that the Chicago club must buy him another orfeL
