Ne7vS OF The FiStic Arena

Packney Mcfarland has finally ac-
lSnowledged himself a welterweight. For
years the Chicago battler has vainly tried
to stay within the lightweight limit. but
his efforts have been futile and indications
are now that he limit his field of endeavor
from now on to the welterweight division
only. His first battle in the new division
will be with Mike Gibbons, the ST. Paul
welterweight. in New York sometime in
February.
1t looks as though Georges Carpenter,
the French and English heavyweight
champion, is going to make the same
mistake that a great many other white
boxers have made in the past. Carpen-
tier, after his defeat of Bombadier Wells
in London, became imbued with the idea
that he was almost invincible and ready
to tackle any heavyweight in the busi-
ness.
Joe Choyinski, one of the greatest fight
ers who ever put on a glove, was of the
same frame of mind, and went out of his
class to tackle all the heavyweights in
the business. Joe, however, really was
a wonderful fighter. although he scaled
when at his best only 100 to 165 pounds.
but he demonstrated that with all of
his wonderful fighting ability, he could
not cope with men much bigger than
himself.
Carpenter from all accounts, has

GERMAN COMMITTEE

PLAN FOR OLYMPIC

Berlin, January 1o.-The German Olym-
pic committee, in efforts to solve the
problem of quarteripg the hundreds of
athletes who will compete mere in 1916,
has evolved the plan of Offering private
training camps to nations which will bear
a proportion of the expense necessary
for the building of the quarters.
The committee has obtained a large
plot of land in the Grunewald pine for
est, almost at the doors of the stadium.
1t offers to place at the disposal of such
countries as do not care to incur the
expense of building a special club house
probable barracks, in which competitors
can be housed. Sweden already has de-
cided to take advantage of the proposal
end will erect a characteristic Swedish
country house. A representative of tho
American committee thinks the commit
tees plans are just what is desired by
the American committee.
The committee is arranging details in
cidental to the games of 1916 and remoy-
ing various causes of friction among local
and international bodies. Disputes be-
tween the German Olympic committee ard
the German Hurner guild have been ami
cably adjusted and the guild is now an
enthusiastic supporter of the games.

There is no truth in the statement that
a certain amount is due from the depart
