GIBBONS FAVOR|TE IN BIG BOUT TODAY Fight Is Attracting Unusual Attention-Big Sale
 of Seats

New York, September 1o.--AlthouEh no championship Is at stake and neither Of the contestants holds a title, the io-round bout between Pnckey MoFar- land and Mike Gibbons Is moro talked of than any pugilistio event that has taken place hero since the closing days Of the Horton law, Is years ago. The men will meet at the Brighton Beach motordrome tomorrow night and are to weigh in at 147 pounds tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
 The promoters having deposited $32,- 500 in the hands of the stakeholder have 6ispelled any doubts that may have ex- iBted as to the genuineness of the bat tie. The large sum that each man will receive and the we'll known ability of the principals have attracted unusual interest in the meeting.
 Gibbons Is a slight favorite for the main reason that he has been fighting right along while Mcfarland has not taken part in ring battle for some- time. His long absence has caused many to believe he needs a bout or two to bring him up to a fight with a man of Gibbons calibre.
 There has been a big advance sale of eeats fer the event and there is every indication that the attendance will far outnumber any seen at bouts in the open In this vicinity.
 In physical measurement Gibbons has the advantage He Is s feet g inches in height to Netherlands 5 feet ! inches and In arm reach he has three Inches the better of 1t. In chest meas urement Mcfarland Is superior, his normal measurement being 3s inches to 26% inches for Gibbons. McFar- land also shows greater girth. the tape indicating 3S inches for Mcfarland about the waist to 2911 for Gibbons
