PUCK! MTARLAND
AND WALSH DO
n ROUNDS
Packy McFarland, Who
Fought Freddie Walsh
to c. Draw Yesterday.
1-OS ANOELES. Cal.—ln a 25
round light remarkable for fast and
clever work, Packy McFarland, of
Chicago, and Freddie Walsh of Eng
land, demonstarted their respective
claims to consideration as light
weights before a crowd of nearly 4.-
000 spectatores, before the Jeffries club
Saturday afternoon. If a decision had
been rendered, McFarland would have
been giving the victory because of
superior showing made in the last
seven rounds of the battle, when his
rentely pursuit-of Walsh and his
savage rushes which sent the Eng
lishman against the ropes time after
time, led the crowd to believe that,
the boui would end in a knockout.
In the 24th round, Walsh was caught
by right swings that weakened him
perceptibly, and from thnt time on no
had all he could do to linish without
showing his distress in too marked
a decree.
The decision was on the whole a
popular one. McFarlant' was a 2 to
1 favorite. Tne match was fought in
open air under a broiling hot sun
that may have weakened both men
J. J. Jeffries referred.
ATHLETICS WIN.
Despite the absence of the Tour
ists yesterday there was something
doing at Warren Park. The Georgl t
Kailroad All Stars went up against
the Augusta Athletics, and then fell
back badly battered. According the
score itself the might have
been termed a one-sided affair, but
the brilliant .work of the individual
players on both teams made the game
interesting from sturt to linish. At
the fifth Inning the heavy slugging
of the Athletics forced Pilcher to
withdraw from the center of the dla
mond, Lyons taking ills place. The
Athletics, however, continued to laud
until their part of the scorebord be
gHP to look like Augusta's monthly
bank clearings.
Leopard's pitching, especially In the
tight places did much toward t) e
Athletics victory.
The Holding of 7,elgl"r slid Stafford
were notable features of the game
both of these men stabbing Into lin
ers that looked good for two bags
when they left the hat.

(BY JEFF THOMPSON.)
NEW YORK- Jimmy Britt thinks
there Is some easy money for him in
Pails and in going to seo about It.
He Is going to see the Olympic game*
end sailed with the American team.
Britt Is looking well, I hough a 11 fie
tlgli In flesh after Ills long rest.
While he will not admit he means to
fight again before he left, ho hinted
that, if things looked ripe In Paris
where the fighting game Is on the
boom, he mny take a chance with
Frank Erne if the proper Inducements
are offered.
Erne is t a big card In Paris, and la
Interested In one of the boxing cluha
so It is more than probable that
Britt will lie offered a match when he
arrives In the French capital.
“Yes, I had this trip Ir, mind for j
some time,” said James before sail

II RAGE FOR IRE
LIPTONJUP
NEW YORK —Impatiently tugging
at their anchors, twenty yachts aa
spick and span as nautical knowledge
could make them stood at, anchor al
daybreak for the Llpt.on cup rac n
from the Brooklyn Yacht club anchor
age, in Gravesend Bay, to and around
Scotland and Fire Island Llght*hlp3,
and northeast end light, off Cape May
and return, a distance of about 323
miles.
Great care and attention have been
given to the preparation and the re
sult has been the bringing together
of the best fleet of racing yachts in
years. It Is also the largest that
ever gathered in Eastern waters for
a race of this kind.
One of the most Interesting fea
tures of the race and one that at
tracts attention from yachtsmen all
over the country Is the keen competi
tion which will be shown by the skip
pers of the boats in the race. It is
the first time that the leading pro
fessionals and amateurs have been
brought together In a long distance
ocean race, and as between Captain
Charlev Barr. Thomas Fleming Day,
R D. Floyd, Walter Bleling, Fred
Maler and tho other captains and
sailing masters the contest will be
keen to the finish.
The amateurs In tho race are no
fresh water or sheltered harbor sail
ors, however, but skilled in the mat
ter of sailing and navigation rules.
It was a pretty sight as the twen
ty yachts maneuvered for the start
this morning and tho big crowd
ashore thoroughly enjoyed the marine
spectacle. Tho start was by a single
gun and all the captains were eager
to be the first over the line, for a
few minutes lost might, lose the SI,OOO
cup prize In computing the handi
caps.
The steamer General Putnam was
on hand with a load of club mem
bers and their friends who went
down to the harbor as far as Scot
land Lightship In the wake of the
racing yachts, and who later return
ed to tho club house of tho Brooklyn
Yacht club, where a dinner, fireworks
and dancing follow tonight.

“Croffroth has a good card In Gans
and Nelson, Hnd they will have a big
house. The general feeling out there
Is that Nelson Is going to get his, but
the sports are paying the price to
bpo lilm get It. He has never been
knocked out, you know.
Four good fights were carded to be
fought the afternoon of July 4. The
most Important of the four was the
45-round go between Joe Gans and
Battling Nelson at Colrna. Cal., for
the light-weight championship of the
world. The other bout in California
wns one of 25 rounds between Fred
die Welsh, of England, and Packey
McFarland, of Chicago, at Jim Jef

other two fights Stanley Ketchell the
