TERRIFIC D0WNPOUR
FLOODS BOSTON TODAY
TaNiCabs Do Land Office Business
As Public Seeks To Get
Under Cover.

/ Boston, July "a P-A downpour
! of rain that approached cloudburst
| proportions burst over Boston today
At the hour when thousands OF
office workers were pouring from
the subways, the deluge started al
most without warning, and contin-
ued with such violence that in less
than an hour and half there had
been a precipitation of 165 inches.
This torrent. which began at S:3S
a. M, had been preceded at 6
o'clock by gentle sprinkling which
amounted to only .O3 inches, as re-
ported by the weather bureau. The
earlier moisture, however, had not
been regarded by many as an ear
nest of the drenching that was to
come and most persons therefore
had departed for their places Of
business totally unprepared.
Taxicabs did a land office bust
ness but there were too few of them
to give anything like the relief the
situation called for. The vast ma
jority, clad in the lightest summer
garb, were forced to dash from avn.
ing to awning on their way to their
offices, and before they had reached
the second of these meagre shelters
they were wet through.
Early in the morning the temper
allure stood at II. At 10 a. m. it
had fallen one degree, but, as was
the case yesterday, the humidity re-
NAMED so high that great discom
fort was caused.
The weather bIreau, having fore
cast generally fair" weather for the
day, took refuge in the safer gener-
ally of cloudy and unsettled for
the remainder of the daylight hours

wow"
Always rated as one of the sharp
est, shrewdest ringsters of all time
Packey's expert knowledge of box
ing enabled him to give vivid ac-
count of what has happening within
the ropes. He did not miss a single
blow, and instead of saying they
clinched," Mcfarland was able to
discern that "Mandell clinched" or
Kansas clinched," whichever boxer
was guilty.
Moreover Mcfarland did not lose
his head in the excitement of the
furious exchanges. as was the case
of broadcasters and reporters in the
commotion at the Dempsey Firpo
fight when the heavyweight cham
pion was knocked out of the ring.
Once a slim WASTED boxer of 1856
pounds, Mcfarland has now reach
ed the proportions of 200 FOUNDER.
He is well fixed financially having
saved the money he earned In the
ring, and invested it wisely. His
business venturse in Joliet, now his
home. added to his wealth. He is
a member of the board of directors
of the biggest banking institution in
