P-TO-DATE AND NEWSY Boxers Shy About Meeting Packey McFarland in the Ring, Matt Wells Being the Latest Man to Dodge Match With Him. ‘ . 2 \ Ronee Beier ork Weddle JUNNY how shy they ail are when F it comes to fighting Packey Mc- Farland. Wolgast, the wuridaunted champion, who fights everybody else, manages to @et along very nicely without mingling ‘with Packey. Somehow or other Freddy Welsh hasn't boxed McFarland since thelr memorable bout in England, al- @hough I understand that three or four New York clubs have been after the match. Welsh 1s going to fight Wol- gant. If he wins it's a hundred to one shot that he won't box Packey at all. Latest to dodge McFarland is Matt Wells, Not that it is Matt's own fault Perhaps he doesn't even know about it, for he surely is & willing fighter and a clever one. But Matt has two managers, Pool can make fuss enough, but when re two—ol-yol! What's the use? two managers are Mr. McDon- ald and Mr. Levy, both of England, Mr, McDonald is tall. Mr. Levy ts short. Between the two of them they overlook mo bets. Three months ago the nego- tiated the details of @ match between McFarland and Wells, They wanted to take Packey to England to fight Wells 1m London, weigh in at 13 pounds at 3 clock. But that fell through, ‘Then a match was made here in New York by Mr. McDonald, McFarland and Wells to meet for ten rounds, weighing 15 pounds at 6 o'clock, Oct. 1% ‘That fell through. Last week Billy Gibson went to Balt}- ‘more to see McFarland and asked him 4£ he would box Wells at the Fairmont, “Bure,” said Packey. “Get him at the terms they agreed on before.” So Saturday night at the club Mr, Levy met Mr. Gibson and they sat down to make a match. The detaila were all arranged, Including weight, 1% pounds at o'clock. Just as the affair was con- cluded Matt Wells's manager had a sudden thought. “Make it 133 pounds at 8 instead of 135 Pounds at 5,” he said, “Can't,” replied Gideon, “Packey wil! Make 133 for Wolgast, but he won't do it for any one else. He'll fight Wells at Matt's own English weight—the ‘weight he won his title at—135 pound: “Nothing doing,” replied Mr. Levy, ‘who ts learning the American language. Now Gibson has heard that Wells is to sail for ngland next Saturday and he’s a)l fuseed up over it. Welle says he'll return in three weeks and make « match with ’ackey then. M* M'GRATH'S new hammer throwing record of 187 ft. 4 ins. {sa really marvellous perform.| PT! ance. Fifteen years ago Jim Mitchell, es big @ man MeGrath, held the ‘World's record at M5 ft. 3-4 in, In his Gay the athletic prophe:s predicted, that, while other records would probatly be broken within a few years, Mitchell's Marvellous throw would stay on the books forever, and then a while longer. Outing, @ conservative sporting Magasine, printed a ow. in which the over forty-two feet beyona tnat mark! @uch @ gain is marvellous when one considers the strength and speed ne @ary to make ft. It isnt merely ter of puiting in the sughtest effort ‘that would toss a hammer 43 feet, and adding that to the effort that would wend it M5 feet, Kvery foot over the M5 means @ greatly increased ture of strength. It's a plain n a) proposition, McGrath's hammor woes to a heluht of about 48 feet, It falls from that helght to the ground im two seconds, 82 feet of that drop in the second second of the fall. It re quires a tremendous Ieteral drive to send the hammer 42 feet further to wpite of the speed of that drop. Rough- ly speaking, it is likely tnat McGrath, fa Making his record throw, used twice the amount ef strength used by Mitchell years, 859 in making the record of 145 A men like McGrath, m making a the strength of muscular effort of which the average Man is capable it ts nothing short of phenomenal. pia PT ay BOXING SHOWS TO-NIGHT.

The unex- pected placing of this property on the market has no bearing whatever on the future of horse racing 1a the State of New York. At least that is the opinion of Algernon Daingerfield, secretary of the Jockey Club. “In other words,” explains Mr. Data gerfield, “any plece of property has its price, and the owners of the Sheepshead Bay track could not be blamed for sell- Ing it for $2,700,000, It was worth no more than that when racing was at its height.
