DEMON RELIES ON
STAYING POWERS
Demetral Is Confident He Can
Wear Stone Down in
Match at Empire.

William Demetral arrived yesterday
from Chicago. for his match with Jack
Stone, the giant Russian at the EN-
pire theatre Tuesday night, with his
p-otege Young" Demetral who is to
meet Billy Hurley. Albany lightweight,
in finish match for 500 side bet.
Demetral stated that ne had heard
considerable talk about town that he
would be unable to defeat Stone if
the strangle hold was barred. and to
set the minds of his supporters at
rest, he said that he could defeat the
Russian any fstyle. and the mere fact
that this deadly hold was barred did
not make one iota OF difference to
him
The demon does not underestimate
Stones ability however. and promises
the local fans that the match will be
one of the fastest ever staged here,
and may last longer than the last go.
DemetraTs ability lies in wearing his
man down, and in nearly every in
stance he succeeds unless he is him
self injured The demon has won
derful staying ability and is generally
in better condition after wrestling
ASh al uOui bLAdA wren ne SldA Is
Stone is noted for his great strength,
and Demetral, having met him on sew
eral occasions before, knows of the
great task before him
The wrestling fans are assured that
the dreaded strange hold will be
barred in this match. The Tri-City
club. which is promoting the
card agrees to pay the wrestlers a
sum of money equal to 60 per cent of
the gross receipts, rs per cent to go
TO the winner and 25 to the loser.
The demon has backed his protege-
Young" Demetral to the extent of
500. as a side bet to beat Hurley and I
if the Greek accompIishes this he viii |

Chicago. Jan. 11.-Yesterday it was
learned from an official source that
Packey Mcfarland VIII challenge the
winner OF the Mike Gibbons-Jimmy
Clabby ten round bout, TO be staged
by the Badger y. c Of Milwaukee on

Although Packey. who is in Joliet.
could not be reached last night. the
information was CLEANED from one Of
Packeys friends. who said he wants
TO meet the wilner over the ten
round route before one of the Milwau-
kee clubs. in order TO give his friends
a chance 10 see him in his farewell
contest Although he has not boxed
for a long time Mcfarland has sept
In good shape.
As Eddie McGoorty won his battle
from Fighting Bill" Murray last Sat
urday. the Oshkosh freshman is in
line for q match with any of the
other Shamrock battlers, who seem
to be the legitimate claimants of the
middleweight title. For the time be-
ing, at least. the Irish seem TO have a
corner on the title.
Larney Lichtenstein, manager of
Clabby. said he would be glad 10 pit
his fighter against Mcfarland in the
event Jimmy wins from Gibbons. Nc
Farland and Gibbons were nearly
matched to box ten rounds in New
York short time ago. but a hitch in
terms prevented the staging of the
contest It's unlikely, however, that
Mcfarland will consent to meet Nc
Goorty. because Of the difference in
weight.
