Ce WEIGHT MEN DESERT I. A. A. Wisconsin Boxing Commission, in Suspending Packey McFarland for a Year, Cites Nothing New When It Charges Him With Stalling.

When he was finally induced to weigh he insisted that he would weigh only in private before the Commia- stoners, in his ordinary clothes, ani that the weight must be kept secret and not ennounced from the ring. ‘Thr p, being ddne, defeated the ono object of the rule, whith Is intended to Give tie public a kiowledge uf weight conditions and prevent misinatching of men. Although McFarland says he'll never box again, he will feel the sting of the ‘Wisconsin Commission's action. There is little glory in such an ending of a career tke McPartland's.
