rounds, the ninth and 10th. and the
fifth which was even. Mike Gibbons
of ST Paul outpointed Packey Nc
Farand of Chicago in their 10-round
ring contest Saturday night at the
Brighton Beach Motordrome.
1t was a fast hard battle for both
men all the way. with every frame
crowded from bell to bell with some
of the cleverest boxing ever seen in
New York.
Both men were trying at all times.
but with two such accomplished ring
sters pitted against each other. there
was little chance for either TO score a
decisive win. There was no decision,
as in all New York bouts. but there
was no question on the part OF those
close to the ring as to the winner.
McFarlands long lay off, and Glib
bons' superior height, reach and con-
dition, told the story for the St. Paul
man.
A throng which was estimated at 4o.nN
witnessed the contest, almost entirely
filing the immense arena which origin
ally enclosed a third of mile motorcy-
Gle track.
Several thousand women were scattered
among the spectators. Large delegations
of boxing enthusiasts were present from
as far west as Chicago and Cleveland,
and from below Washington in the South.
Gibbons was the favorite in the wager
ing at odds ranging from to and to l..
A purse of $4,000 was divided. 1880 to
Mcfarland and $4,000 to Gibbons. neither
of whom was damaged to any great ex-
tent or in serious danger of knockout
during the 10-round engagement.
The ringside weights of the men were
announced as:
Mcfarland 49,.
Gibbons. 1853.
Each had weighed in under 147 at 3
o'clock in the afternoon.

CEN, CARRANzA'S
COUNTER PLANS
Have won FAVOR
Suggestions for Conference with
Him Probably Will Be
Approved

Washington, Sept. lo.-Ger. CarranZas
counter-proposal to the Parliamentary
diplomats for a conference with him over
International phases of the Mexican
problem, probably will be approved. ac-
cording to opinion expressed here satur-
day night by officials in touch with the
administration. Although CarranZa re-
fused to yield to the appeal of Secretary
Lansing and representatives of six Latin
American republics that he join his adj
versaries in a peace conference, II was
pointed out here that military conditions
in Mexico had undergone marked changes
in tse last few weeks and in some quar-
tiers it was contended that Carranza's
claims for recognition were entitled to
investigation. Since the Pan-American
appeal was issued Carranza's armies
have pressed pacification of territory in
central and northern Mexico. while some
reports to the state department have de-
clared that Gen. Villas forces are disin-
tegrating.
Would Give carranza Hearing
From several sources ii has been
learned that some of the Latin Amer
lean diplomats are inclined to give
Carranza hearing with 4 view to
learning what he might propose, if
recognized.-on a de facto basls-Wlth
regard TO the adjustment of war in
IDENTITIES and the protection of for
eigninterests. Carranza, it is said. is
ready to give assurances that he will
as soon as a dc facto government can
make arrangements. call general cleo
lions and that he will step aside for
the President chosen at that time.
AS to revolution claims of foreign
governments and Mexico's debts. Car
rama is said 10 be ready to reiterate
assurances he made last June.
Villas agency in Washington de-
clared in a statement Saturday night
that it would address the Pan Ameri-
can cnferees regarding assertions
made in Carranza's reply to their
peace appeal. The statement disputes
CarranZa's claims of territorial con-
troll and denies the charge that Villa
was bribed to turn against Carranza.
