PACKEY'S BOUT
WITH GIBBONS
IS CALLED OFF
Neither McF arland Nor Mike Said
To Be Able to Make Weight.
Welsh and WoIgast May Clash,
By Ed Curlev.

NEW YORK, Feb 6.-After we
" uns get all smoked up" over
what Packey Mcfarland is
going to do to Mike Gibbons. or, if
you like, what Mike Gibbons is going
to do to Packey Mcfarland on the
night of February -, 1t was brought
TO our notice that there won't he any
such doings, for the big battle is fat,
dead and also called off.
Why they get us all smoked up
over big scrap and then shove the
greasy skids right underneath we
knoweth not. They doeth. and there
fore let 1t goeth at That.
AS for the reason the two welter-
middleweights are not going to mix
we are. to say it carelessly, too OBJ
fuse on the movements OF their
minds.
If our opinion is worth listening
to, we believe that neither would be
able TO make the necessary weight of
145 pounds at any hour of the day,
night or week. Now, if the pair of
gladiators will foregather individual
ly or managerially and agree upon a
poundage that will enable them to
enter the ring in a healthy condition.
everything will be serene. and the
hero will marry the heroine and live
happily thereafter
Looked as if it We're going to be a
bearcat battle, didn't it?
After the above lnterment we wish
to shed a few silent tears and also to
remark that if there is a chance of
getting Freddie Welsh, the English
lightweight (who has spoiled Willie
Ritchie's sleep for many moons) to
daily with AID Wolgast, the date of
February u may be an eventful one,
Frederick has just returned from a
tour through the Middle West, and is
seeking more worlds to conquer, like
the former heavyweight chap, Gaze
sar
Speaking of his swing around the
ties, Frederick can not understand
why the various railroads are show
ing deficits in their monthly state
ments.
Why, I ave been buying their
beastly tickets sleeping car accom-
modations, dining in their cars and
giving their smoked porters pound
and pound. And they say they're not
making money? My word"
The only complaint Welsh has to
make about his trip is that H, Con
Pollok lifted" his cane Fred is
lucky-thats all we care to say.

his mind and has already asked his

boys Cannon las met.
THE eight-round go between those
fast little bantams. Jimmy Grant

great deal of action Both boys are
very much mistaken this scrap should

much comment is the six-round
mill between kid" Young, Atlanta's
best featherweight. and kid" Ruff.

aggressive, willing mixer and should
give the newsboy champion a tough
argument. The winner of this match
will. indeed, he in line for some good
bouts.
A four round battle between Bat
Ting Brown and Jack Wilks will open
the show. The boys are lightweights
and, according to Staten, ought to put
UP an interesting mill.
A LII in ALL Staten has certainly
a picked good show to start off
with. Twenty eight rounds of boxing
will be offered the fans. and this is
enouoh to satisfy the most rabid f1stic
follower.
Harry expects a good crowd to at
tend the show, as the advance sale is
reported large The first bout will

The first appearance in print of that
successful author. Arthur Pendennis.
was poem written to match an en-
craving which the proprietor of Il mag
azine found unexpectedly thrown on
his hands. NJ. Jules CIaretie's first
novel was composed under somewhat
similar circumstances. Edmond Den
tn. prominent publisher under the
second empire. had widely advertised
Il novel entitled ''Une Drolesse." by a
writer who signed herself Comresse
Dash. On the eve of publication the
lady wanted the title altered. The
publisher refused to make any change
and in order not TO waste money hunt
ed around for an author capable of
furnishing within four weeks novel
which the title would fit. NJ. Claretie
