Ceppetatt, 1911, by The Prew Publishing Os. (The New York World) NOTICE in an English paper an @fticle attacking Packey McFwriand “It seems odd," says the writer, “t@ @eouse a man like McFarland of ‘tunking,’ after the splendid work he G14 hege not long a: Yet the United States representative of tie National Sporting Club has just cabled Mr. B tingon, stating definitely that ‘Mola! lané has funked out of a match with Matt Wells, although offered every in@usement, even to a sum of £1,000 for hie ewn end.’ McFarland has appar- ently followed the example of other balance has been Gisturbed by popularity and extrava- gant payment for services. In one in- stance, to the writer's positive knowl- edge, McFarland received the liberal sum of 4% for @ single boxing exhibi- tion in Manchester. Rather funny, accusing 2icFarland of “funking,” because he refused to 0 to England and fight a twenty- round championship battle for an “ex- travagant’ $4,800. MoFariand often—in fact, very often ~#ets $5,000, or more for a ten-round bout in America, Hoe can take there short bouts on without spending much time in training, and as soon as he is through with one can jump to the next battleground, ready to pick up another Piece of easy change. Packey explains his refusal of the English offer by saying that, although he'é lke to box in England again, he can't afford to. If he went over to fight a championship the club would in- sist upon his spending at least three or four weeks at training quarters near London. The trip, beth ways, would take two weeks more. For that month | Be Revived ACING will be eeen again in New R York this season, Unless present plans fail the @port will be re- vived in legal fashion in time for the meeting at Saratoga. Fall meetings at local tracks will very likely follow that at the Spa and before Nov, 16 there should be plenty of turf history made. Two Ddille which have for their effect the releasing from responattility for betting done on the race tracks, stock- holders, bondholders and directors have been introduced in the Senate and ac- cording to inside information they will surely pnas. Being introduced at this time, it is @ald Gov. Dix will almost certainly sign them, and @ half he would get about %,500—a tum which would be small for six weeks of boxin, this country, thin) And received in Manchester, it would hardly turn Packey's head. A hundred and twenty-five dollars for a boxing exhibi- tion—a special show—doesn't class with the 61,200 @ week he picked up in New York on his recent visit. “LADY FAN” has broken gently A into verse, according to the con- tents of my mi box.

Practically from the moment the bell sounded, starting the Iads on their jour- ney, until it rang for the last time, they indulged in the same kind of unsatis- factory work. Wagner would lead with a left and occasionally land on Ken- dricks face, and Kendrick would counter with a left swing into the body, after which they would clinch until pulled apart by the referee. For the first five rounds Kendrick ‘doxed cleverly and managed to take the tend, but after that he slowed up and Wagner, getting confidence, ma' aged to get home some good wallops to the jaw and body. ——$—<——_——— Games for Olymptc Fi promise to be two excRing What games of baseball will be the double- header to be played at the Olympic Fleld, One Hundred and Thirty-seventh street and Fifth avenue, to-morrow.
