PACKEY IS IN
new ROLE NOW
Noted Boxer Ambitious to
Branch Out as Owner of
Thoroughbreds.

New York. March 11.-Packey Nc
Farland threatens to branch out as
an owner of racehorses. At present
Packey is down in Kentucky look
ing over some horses that he intends
to purchase and campaign on Ken
lucky tracks. The famous boxer has
an idea that he would like to become
a breeder of thoroughbreds like John
E. Madden, his great friend
Mcfarland visited local tracks sew
eral times last year when he was
in town. He was not a big bettor,
but he was very much interested in
the sport and he declared that it was
his ambition TO own Il big racing
stable some day.
Packey has the money to crafty
his whim. He made more money
than any fighter who did not hold a
title and he invested il wisely, so
that he now is comparatively
wealthy man. Mcfarland was a
wonderful drawing card. particularly
in New York. The arena always
was packed to the doors whenever
he was slated to appear in the ring.
II also was noticeable that there was
a difference in the character of the
spectators at McFsrland's bouts. He
attracted the better element. and
whenever he boxed a list of the not
ables at the ringside always was a
feature of the story.
Even after he had passed his prime
Mcfarland was so popular that his
match with Mike Gibbons drew the
largest crowd that ever saw a boxing
match in New York. Packy WAS soft
and fat. having been out of the ring
for years. but his remarkably skilfuI
boxing pleased the crowd, which
cheered him all the way through the
ten rounds, although he could not hit
hard enough to bowl over a feather
weight.
Mcfarland never was a great hitter.
fact that made his popularity all
the more remarkable, for it is seldom
that a crowd can be induced to en-
thuse over a boxer who is entirely
harmless. But Mcfarland has a
style that was so intensely interesting
that the crowd overlooked his lack of
hitting ability. There never was
more graceful boxer than Mcfarland
He never was known to make an awk-
ward move.
1t was McFarland's aggressiveness
that made up for his lack of hitting
ability. If he had used his wonderful
footwork to run away from his oppo-
nent the crowd soon would have grown
tired Of the defensive tactics and
called for action But no matter
whether he was facing sIugger or a
boxer. it was Mcfarland who pressed
the attack.
