CHICAGO. May 4.—Three ring battles, all ten-round affairs, await Pai key McFarland and it Is left to the Judgment of the Chicago Celt whether he wants all three or only one. The proposed' conflicts include a McFarland-VVol gast match. It is the plan of the promoters to send Packey against TCddie Murphy in the first of the series. Freddie Welsh to be his second foe and then the big clash with the champion. The men be hind the proposed move claim to have the-assurance of the Cadillac star for such a meeting. Os course there will be no SIO,OOO guarantees accompanying any of the bouts. Packey must gamble with the pro moters on the drawing powers of the conflicts. All Kept a Secret. Just who the men are that will pull th’- series of battle- and the spot is kept a secret. th°ir wish be ing not to make mention of the town or the connections until after the matches have been signed up. or at least until such a time when the first fight is really closed. Rut to satisfy the anxious mind it can be stated that the arena will be pit ted in the open ait and within a radius of 100 miles of this city, a town which is familiar to the Chi cago fight-loving crowd. The pro moters are men of standing and there is every ring of sincerity in their movements.

In eight of the ten rounds of the contest, which was helej in Madison Square, ihe sturdy Pitts burger beat his rival. While It was not a whirlwind fight, both men exhibited their best points. Klaus hit Dillon often in the face and in the body, but in the seventh round ihe Hoosier tried to rally and gave his besl exhibition of dash throughout tin mill. Klaus won by punching Dillon until he was tired. There was plenty of action in every round. The big crowd that thronged the Garden looked for a knockout, for the word had been passed around that It was a ' grudge'’ tight and when the final bell tapped there were growls of dis appointment.

The un fortunate predicament that the Yankee? and Phillies find themselves in by their best players being all shot to pieces, mostly by reason of illness, has brought up the wail that the spring training Indulged in so extensively by all big league clubs is hardly worth the candle. Doubtless much of the sickness was caused by bad weather expe rienced in the South this spring, but with proper care much of the illness could have been prevented. The Giants arrived back in New York, all enjoying the best of health and in as perfect physical condition to start tire champion ship season as any body of well trained athletes could* possibly be. AfcGraw was not influenced at all. cither, into having the doctor accompany the team to Marlin by reason of rumors of an epidemic of meningitis in Texas. The system of training he fol lowed this spring was exactly the same he always has since he man aged the Giants He knows that if the players take halfway decent rare of themselves that there is no more danger to their health while training in the South than in the North, nor as much, for that mat ter. Texas weather this spring was fully as bad as that experienced elsewhere in llie South. Some parts of Arizona. I know from experience, would model training places, hut the expenses of such a long trip would be enor mous. and with no financial returns and no chance afforded to play op posing clubs, and that Is a neces sity.

There may be some liitch on the weight question for this big fight, but the getting together of their managers will soon tell that Paekey says he will do 133 pounds al 3 o'clock for the champion Manager Thiry ridicules the idea that Paekey must now steo into the welterweight class. "Paekey will never be able to fight a real good man at 133 pounds ringside, tills J admit." said Thirv last qfght. "hut hr is far fisim a welterweight.

There Is ever so much more in spring training than merely the throwing and batting of the ball. One great trouble with profes sional ball players, old or young, is that they neglect their health, largely through the carelessness that all athletes In perfect health seem to have. They are averse to taking the necessary medicines that are requisite to keep them In good physical condition, especially In the spring, and usually have to be forced into taking the most com monplace precautions They will nurse their arms, legs and muscles most carefully, but do not seem to have even a common sense regard for their internal mechanism. They are. In fact, like growing children who have to be watched by their mothers. Used on 200,000 Cars This new-type tire—the sensation of Tiredom— now far outsells every other tire.
