WO LGAST FEARS PUBLIC’S MIRTH INPACKEYBOUT By Ed. VV. Smith. IF it wasn’t that Ad Wolgast. lightweight champion, feared public mirth and was laying himself open to the charge of being “a. swell-headed little mutt," he would box Packey McFarland at any old weight that the Irish man asked him to. This is what the champion says himself. He is a bit careful right now of what said public thinks of him. That’s why he wants to insist that McFarland make a. low weight for him. Also he is a bit afraid of what the public will think of him when he demands $25,000 for his end for a 'contest, the affair to be ten rounds in New York the latter part of September. Terms Are a Record. Wolgast accepted an offer from Emil Thiry, Packey’s manager, of $7,500 for the pictures of the con test. Thiry agreed to buy Wol gast’s end outright for that figure. Ad waiving all rights in consid eration of that amount of money. The remainder of the $25,000 is to be Wolgast’s from the club —if one can be found willing to give up that amount—for boxing ten rounds with McFarland. What the latter is to get is a matter of conjecture. Packey is said to w be willing to box cheap in this contest because he feels that the chance at Wolgast’s title is more than enough pay for him. The figures would set a record for a short contest. Fears the Public's Laugh. "Personally. I don't care very much what McFarland weighs, as I think that I can beat him as well at 135 pounds at 3 o’clock as I could at 133 at 3,” Wolgast said during the argument. “As far as 1 am concerned, he could weigh 140 If he wanted to. but what would the public say? They’d say I was a swell-headed little mutt, and im mediately would begin wishing that 1 get beaten, because of conceding so much weight, and insisting upon so much money for the contest. As far as the money is con cerned. there need be no worry about that, because It surely will come in at the gate. I charge high prices, but the money always is there. "I can do 128 pounds at 3 o’clock with ease. Why, at one time dur ing my training for the Rivers con test I scaled in as low as 123 pounds. You can believe it or not, but it’s the truth. I was lighter for him than I have been in many a day. Failures Have Been Many. "I'd rather not box till Novem ber. but if I can get these terms, as Thiry thinks I can, I'll come hack in September and meet Mc- Farland. Naturally, we’ve had so many failures in trying to get to gether that I won’t believe the match is on till I see the forfeits going up. "In the Milwaukee match Packey agreed to do 133 at 3, but they make the claim now that he is big ger and can not do the figure with safety." As a matter of fact, McFarland is unwilling at all times to do any kind of a low weight. He still has* the specter of Joe Gans before him, . a man said to have been killed by making unnatural weights. Thiry believes that Billy Gibson, of the Garden club of New York, will grab at the match upder the terms and will attempt to clinch it" up with him at once. BRALY WINS IN GOTHAM. . NEW YORK.

DUFFY DENIES WHITE SOX PAID SIO,OOO FOR SCHALK COLUMBUS. OHIO, Aug. 3 The reported sale of Catcher Ray Schalk to the Chicago White Sox for SIO,OOO is denied by Manager Hugh Duffy, of the Brewers.

Titus, twice cham pion single sculler of the United States and Canada, will try to “come back.” after an absence of six years from the rowing world, has been settled by the announcement of Captain Pacini, of the Nonpareil Rowing club, that Titus will compete in the national regatta here Fri day. Titus intended early in the season to row in several races to determine whether his old time skill and speed re mained. His failures to do so led to the conclusion that he would not return to the sport. Pacini sanctioned the proposal to send Titus to the national regatta after he had seen the former champion in action in a single shell on the Harlem river. The skill and polished stroke that made Titus fa mous in the rowing world, (’aptain Pacini, said, are still in evidence. In his train ing he has been paced by Schwartz and Crowley, the club’s crack double, that is also to row in the national. TIE GAME BROKEN BY 30 RUNS IN THE 20TH INNING KANSAS CITY. Aug' 3.—As an en try in the freak baseball game com petition an amateur game played in the Junior league in Kansas City, in which two teams went nineteen innings to a 2-2 tie, and in the twentieth one side scored 30 runs and the other 9. proba bly takes the lead. The game was between the Yale Blues and the Bud die Blues, two seventeen-year-old ag gregations, and fifteen pitchers were used in the contest. Each team scored one run in the sixth and each tallied one in the nine teenth, and the game looked like it was going to be finished some time after the millennium, when the twentieth canto arrived and the Yale blues in their half scored just 30 runs. The Buddies came back with 9. but lost the game 32 to 11.
