struggle occurred down yonder by the
waves.
The crowd exceeded all guesses. The
gate receipts were above conjecture
Most sporting men thought that the
Marshall brothers were insane when
they paid SS2.JO to the boxers besides
spending at least S15,0O0 more to carry
out the fight. but the gamble won. For
fight that had no bearing on any
championship, the result was astound-
ing.
At two minutes after 10 o'clock a roar
from the crowd told of the coming of
one of the principals. Mcfarland clam
bered into the ring as a wave of ap-
plause swept down over the throng.
Packey was dressed in a pair of blue
serge pants as he came in. and wore
jersey. His hands were banda ged.
When he stripped off his pants a pair
of green trunks showed. Packey
weighed 152 in full ring costume and
Gibbons 15S. This was ringside weight
McFarland's seconds were Johnny Nc
Farland, his cousin; Ike Bernstein. his
trainer. and Emil Thiery. his business
manager. Billy Gigson. personal
friend. also attended Packey
Gibbons came in eight minutes later
and there was another burst of ap-
plause. Mike wore pair of black pants
and a gray sweater. He walked over
to Packey's corner and felt of the
bandages, but they exchanged not a
word.
Gibbons was attended by Tom Glib
bons, Billy Moore. and Marty Farrell
While the gloves were being adjusted,
Thiery watched Gibbons. and Moore
viewed the process in McFarland's cor
ner.
Joe Humphreys fired more shots and
announced that Dick Peters and Johnny
Green would fight a ten-round 60 i'm
mediately after the main event.
Then he gave the weights and intro
duced Gibbons as the st. Paul wizard.
Mcfarland was presented as Chicago's
fighting Irishman and received a greater
reception than Mike.
At 10:12 the men stepped to the center
OF the ring with their handlers and re-
ceived instructions from job. while a
horde of photographers aimed cameras
at them. After a short conversation the
ring was cleared at 10:14.
The gong sounded and the men swung
into fighting positions.
Gibbons was the first to lead and miss
ed with left. Packey was then short
with a left lead and Gibbons landed n
light left twice to the face At close
quarters Mcfarland worked two rights

broke. Gibbons sent a right to the head
and they clinched.
Gibbons seemed to be little wild when
he tried a left swing and Packey reached
a long left to the head.
Mikes celebrated right hand seemed to
drift a little forward and beyond Pack
ey's head. which caused a slight muir
muring from the crowd.
Packey got home a nice left at the
start OF the next round and then got IN a
left hook. For man In Mikes appar-
ent condition. his blows seemed to lack

at the close of the last round Packey
made move as IL to hit GiGbbons when
Mike was walking toward his corner.
Mike bristled, and there was sugges-

seconds pulled him away.
Afterward Packey walked over to Glib
bons and they shook hands. Some one
asked Mcfarland what Gibbons said to
him and the Chicagoan replied:
He said was the best boy he ever
boxed"
why did he say that?" demanded the
interrogation.
Because he Is a gentleman" answered
Mcfarland.

Cobb, Crawford, Veach
100000 Outtieldl

The coming of Robert Veach has
given Detroit a 100000 outfield, ac-
cording to the October Baseball Maga-
zine:
In the fall of 1913 a famous base
ball expert was discussing the star
outfields. The Red Sox have the best
outfield in the country he said. The
best balanced. the most brilliant"
Today the Red SoX trio is as bril-
liant, as fast as clever as il ever was.
1t is undoubtedly one of the strongest
outfelds in baseball history. For De-
troit Cobb is playing the best game
of his career and Crawford is as re-
liable as ever. But the outfield is no
longer ill-balanced or one-sided. For
it has been the singular good fortune
of Hugh Jennings to secure player
who is able to hold up his end of the
outer gardening with the redoub bta BILE
brace OF slugginE stars who have so
long borne the brunt of the Tiger at
tack. Robert a. Veach is the name of
this most desirable player. and there
is not the shadow of a doubt that with
his advent the Detroit outfield is one
of the most powerful. if not the most
powerful. ever assembled on dia-
mond.
Veach. the quiet, unassuming player
who has thus slipped noiselessly into
the llmellght, was born at ST. Charles,
Ky. twenty-seven years ago on June
%. He is an athletic-looking person
five feet eleven inches tall, and weighs
l65 pounds. His face is tanned brown
ny th, sun Of nia.Iy .;rucl.ing contests,
and his lean. well-strung muscles
hardened by years of toll. For Eeach
was one of that band of underground
workers who rose from the murk and
damp of a coal mine to position of
cminence in the national game.
Unlike Jake Dauber:, Hugh Jen-
ninGs. and some of the other eminent
miner PLAYERS, Robert escaped the
grind and WEAKNESS of the breakers.
Coal mining in Illinois is different
from the hard coal mining OF Penn

Rarely the Veteran Of the ORR

Is Seen on Coach Lime.
PILOT HATED AND LOVED
By FRANK G.. MENkE.

New York. Sept. 11.-John McGraw
looms up just now as a pathetic fig
ure in baseball: not a figure that
really demands sympathy or wants it,
but a figure that inspires it just the
same
TIE wonderful baseball machine that
McGraw used up the best years of his
life developing is biokcn: some of the
old cogs are gone and others must go.
To figure again pennant con-
tender McGraw must build up a new
maChiue-a task Of years and one into
which he cannot enter with the en-
thusia.:m and energy that character
lied his more youthful years.
The old fighting spirit of the Giant
leader is gone. Rarely is he seen on
the coaching lines these days. Rarely
does he rush onto a ball field and
verbally battle the umpires over de-
cisions as he did in the by-Eone days.
The old fire has died out; McGraw
seems engroSsed in his revcries of
other days-of glorious days when he
and his team ruled supreme in the old
league.
McGraw never was popular with
the fans outside of New York and
never was extremely popular with
those in his home town. But just
the same McGraw. because of what
he accomplished year after year with
mediocre looking baseball outfit,
was admired and lauded throughout
the breadth of the land. He was
real baseball leader-in our opinion
the greatest baseball leader in the
history of the game. and one of the
most spectacular figures that ever
loomed along the baseball horizon.
McGraw Hated-aud Loved.
No man ever has been more genuinely
hated than John McGraw-and no one
ever has been more genuinely loved.
On the ball field McGraw always has
appealed to fandom as the superlative
of rowdy: off the ball field he is a person
entirely different. And to John Nc
Graw's credit it shall be said that those
who hate him are those who knew him |
only a baseball manager: that those
who love him are those who know him |
intimately.
The failure of the Giants to win the 1914
pennant hit MCGraw harder wallop
than he had ever before received in his |
long diamond career. He had won three |
peunants in row. His ambition was to
achieve what no other manager ever had
ach!cved-the winning of four straight. !
Right up to the last six weeks of the
1914 campaign il seemed a certainty tor |
him. True. the Braves were shooting
upw ard with amazing speed. but it
seemed they couldn't hold the pace-that
they must drop back.
But The Braves didn't. They caught |
the Giants. went beyond and held the
lead until the finish line WAS crossed
and McGraw was a broken-hearted man.
The victory of the Braves meant that
mis- name never would be written in the
baseball hall of fame as the only mod
ern baseball leader who had lead
team to four remnants in row.
Recovering from his disappointment in
1914, the Giant leader lead his team into

| coal lies in great veins or fields
which crop out in certain places on
! the surface. They are usually tilted
at a considerable angle, however. so
that if you want to strike the field
few miles away you may have to
sink shaft several hundred feet.
Il started in as a miner when 1 was
II years old and worked at it in the
winters until a couple of years ago,
long after 1 was earning money as
a player. 1t is hard work and uncer-
tain work. Perhaps the uncertain
part of it is the worst, for on good
, days the pay is excellent. after all
that has been said by the mining
unions"
1t is natural. coupled as he is with
two such renowned performers as the
only Ty and the invincible Crawford,
that Neach should be lost in the shuf-
file. They have been stars of the first
ma gnitude for years. 1t would be
impossible for any one, however able,
20 win the recognition in a single
seasons work that has been theirs
for a decade. But glance at the
figures will show that Veach has
taken his place, game in and game
out with two of the greatest out
fielders the game has ever known, and
that his work has not suffered in
compa rison. Crawford may be Cobb's
right-hand man in the outfield. but
Veach is close behind him.
The hundred thousand dollar infield
was the pride of the Athletics and the
source of most of their strength. That
infield is scattered and it will be
long before the game knows its like
again. But 1t will be long before the
game knows the like of the great
outfeld which is carrying the brunt
of Detroit's pennant hopes. And
though there are but three men in the
outfield, as compared with four in the
infield. what purchaser who expected
to get those same three men would
think of offering less than 100000?
What purchaser would stand the
chance of getting them at any price?
