———————— UP-TO-DATE AND NEWSY IACKEY NM FARLAND GIVES BRITTON A BOXING LESSON He Outclasses His Opponent in Ten- Round Bout Just as He Has Out- classed Dozens of Others Less Clever. BY ROBER T EDGREN. Professor Patrick Aloysius McFatland gave Jack Britton a boxing lesson ab the Garden last night ‘The positions of master and pupil were so clearly @efined that in the eighth round a piping voice called down from the top qalier: “Hey, Morgan, get out the newspaper clippings. Hurry up!" ‘Phe clippings referred to were the clippings from a Chicago newapaper ‘weich “gave Britton the decision” tn a bout with McFarland in Memphis, ‘Penn., two years ago, said clippings having been industriously ciroulated. ‘The “clippings” may have been convincing.

But he couldn't even hinder McFarland, ‘The affair had all the frills of a cham~- Bionship. The great Garden was packed After the preliminaries came a short de: Jay, while the boxers weighed In accord- ance with the rules of th Cemmission. They had already weighed tm under the agreed 17 pounds at 3! MORGAN MAKES PLAY TO GET A! GOAT. The inspector weighed McFarland first. He balanced the beam at exactly 1@ pounds. Immediately Morgan, who was trying in every way to “get Pack- goat,” jumped in and protes! saying that Packey was & poun heavier, and demanding that he get on the scales again. It Was a matter of no as the weighing accord- ing to the articles had been complied with, But the attempt had the desired effect. Packey Jarred into @ rage.

It was just one mix after another, Now Britton rallied and hit and hard, driving home solid body punches. ‘Then, a second later, there came McFi md through the battle amoke, as re- sa Steam engine on a nding Britton reeling back to the ropes, and sometimes nearly head- long through them, Manager Morgan wan frantic at the end of the fourth, wh Packey ha staggered Jack with a slashing upp cut. Morgan had the look of a man who had wagered not wisely but too well. He talked a steady stream for one minute, with gesticulation and much scowling, “PACKEY” TURNS BATTLE INTO “PLAY SPELL. Next round Britton immediately mixed and slugged away with both hand: Na, blocked and rolled his head and took a few, then suddenly andi straight dropped his left hand his aide and stretching his right out nds Britton ex- much weight, was a matter of little con- sequence. Packey came first into the ring, and was given a great cheer. He picked @ corner and sat down. He was pale and apparently nervous. But before Britton appeared Packey had regained his color and was smiling and Joking in his usual confident way. Britton was the 07 under a nerve strein, now thet it had come right down to the test. ‘The moment that the fight began Brit- tom went at MoFariand, grim with de- termination, and drove a left for his ribs. In @ moment they were mixing it. Paokey began forcing steadily. Britton, fighting in spurts, was compelled to give ground. No man near his own weight has ever been able to mest Packey with- qm backing up. Exasperated because he could not time feint and blow with MeFarland without being forced to back, Britton tried to hold his own by Ping * through short clinches, Referee Je, who was circling the pair just out of range, quickly cautioned him, Joh ‘was right on the job, looking for minor infractions of the rules, Im the second round beth fought new@er, Britton was taking chances, fJemping in suddenly every now and then with a @urry of fighting, landing hard punches, only to be driven back im the end by heavier and perhaps bet- ter timed blows from McFarland. Ae Packey let Jack's punches fly about his eave, smiling slightly and waiting bis time tar @ counter, Mayor Carter Harri- som of Chicago, who ha come on with the Chicago Corporation Counsel, Wille jam Sexton, and other friends, looked interested.

Careful Preparation of Pitchers by Chance and McGraw Would Indicate That Both New York Clubs Will Get Away to a Flying Start. F's" CHANCE has decided, and perhaps wisely, that none of his pitch- ers shall work in more than one practise game a week; that the men of known ability will not work at all until they are able to run a mile with- out panting, His theory is that pitching in practise games hurts the arm more than it helps the control until the man is in perfect physical condition, The youngsters necessarily will be put through their paces so thet he can get a line on thetr ability. “The pitchers can get control by warming up with a catcher and using a he explains, “pitching over a plate with- out a batter standing in the box is not the same as {f the man was there, but §t wMl do until the arms are in shape to use all the tricks of the trade.” MoGraw also knows the advantage of having pitchers in shape to go the route before letting. them cut loose in games. For that reason he has been working his twirlers in the outfield, chasing long files, while the inflelders and outflelders are taking part In a game. ‘This careful preparation of pitchers by the two New York managers ought to ive them a big advantage in the way of a flying start when the season the old method of allowing a pitcher to work until his arm is as sore as a boll and then spend the rest of the time working the soreness out js a thing of the past. THIS 1S BEYOND BELIEF. ‘Arthur Wilson, in a letter from Marlin, says that Jim Thorpe has all the earmarks of a big leaguer, but has mot yet acquired the temperament of an old-timer, “He broke a record yesterday,” writes the Beau Brummel catcher, “by going through @ game without getting a hit and then mot bawling out the waiter at dinner.” THE LAST WORD IN IRON RULE. — th latter, he thinks, can be saved th Pacey . “Mopern Aer WAPRESEICN OF Tae WAY Smearen oun O60 PRUEND Jace “TerouGm TE Rounns BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK EDITED BY ROBERT EDGREN Skeeter Manager Thinks Chance Better Than Ever HAMILTON, Bermuda, March 8.—Frank Chance, manager of the Hi:sh- landers, will be seen regularly on the job at first ba: opinion of Larry Schlafly, manager of the Skeeters, who are also here to get into condition for the coming campaign. famous Peerless Leader will perform just ‘Washington player thinks of the ex-C' Tr's wena ous, manstinoes minnanNs, stoma.
