Johnston for the championship in singles which was held on the courts of the West side Tennis club at Forest Hills: Be- fore the games the majority of the experts believed McLoughlin would have ah easy time in defeating John- ston, but many others who watched Johnston right through the tourney, especially after his defeat of R. Norris ‘Williams, holder of the title at that time, were of the opinion the younsg- ster would carry off the honors of the tourney.

Of all ring masters who have worn | the gloves, in recent years at least, | these two have it in them to give thel keenest exhibition yet arranged They are much of the same type. Both have speed and both have skill. Both have brains and both have courage. No one has ever seen either quit—though at odd moments both have slackened their pace while play- ing it safe. They are rare types, well above the ring average. Both are equally hard to hit. It may be that both have too much science—too keen a defense to permit any offense or attack to get working. Packey vs. Gibbons Should Win. Packey in various ring against other rivals—or rivals—know the excessive of these two boxing prima donnas to scramble things up a . bit. Packey has made almost every opponent he ever faced look foolish. Mike has transformed most of his antagonists into simian wonders, They have out- classed the field.

Mike has never met clever as Packey. And you gamble your roll that Packey has rever met as tough a customer as Mike was and is. And between the two Mike is the one who carries the best of it in the advance dope. a man as can “ The Wherefores, Mike is about as clever as Packey— is a harder hitter—and beyond all this has been bolstered up by more 1ecent competition. The shadow stuff and the sparring partner business are | not more than considerably different from the regulation thing. It has been a long time since Fackey faced actual competition. Tt | has been a longer time since Packey met a man of his own weight. Gib- bons has faced more than one rugged customer since Packey retired. This | will mean more than a little bit when they meet. Packey’s Job. In meeting Gibbons, McFarland wiil face the first clever man he has tackled whose bulk or displacement ranged beyond 140 pounds. Packey, even if his cleverness is unimpaired —even if he is at his best—will not carry an edge above a contender Jike the St. Paul Phantom. And it is only reasonable to sup- rese that Packey will not be quite as good as he was when engaged in active competition—when he was fighting regularly and was maintain- ing under fire his rare judgment of distance and of shifts. Gibbons is about as clever as Mec- Farland. He can hit harder. He ishould be better prepared through more recent experience for such a test. If this doesn’t allot the ad- vance margin to Michael there is no such thing as dope—which maybe there isn’t. The After Effects. A boxing match of this sort can do lot of good—or still more A clean-fought exhibition with both entries moving under full sieam from the start will be a big boost for the profession in general. 3ut if any final result—if both de- cide to fall back upon the latest | aancing steps and begin tripping the ight fantastic toe, the game will be in for a wallop. The plaintive, bird- like cries’ from the stung populace will echoe long enough to crab any further competition for quite a spell. ) Drawing $32,500, it is up to a Mr. karm.
