PACkfY OUT FOR COIN
Clink of Shelxles Caused by Arrival of
Darcy Arouses Mcfarland to
Action,

Chicago, Jan. 6-'I have signed up
Packey Mcfarland" said Doc. Krone,
manager Of several prize fighters.
You see Packey has been stirred up
by the furore created by the arrival
In this country Of Les Darcy and he
wants to get back in the game and
fight the Australian champion.
After the Phantom, Too.
He'll fight Mike Gibbons, too. II
the st. Paul phantom wants a battle.
AS his manager Packey has commits
stoned me to arrange matches for
him with Darcy and Gibbons. Pack
ey hasn't had a bout since he fought
Gibbons in New York. but he is in
good condition, and it would be an
easy task for him to get ready for
bout and show all his old time skill.
But there's one thing that will
have to be understood before Gibbons
can get bout with Packey, and that
is that Mcfarland must receive fiat
guarantee Of $25.000."
Asks Prohibitive Figure. &C.,.
Just why Mcfarland demands such
a big price for a contest with the
Phantom and doesn't mention any
price for bout with Darcy. Krone
declined to say. At any rate Krone
wants to see Packey meet the Aus
tralian star before any Of the other
American scrappers can get a chance
