THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THERSDAY. MAY 22. 1913.
GREAT DREAD
IF
By Otto <\ Kioto.
P ackey McFarland is out
again with the statement that
* lie will not make weight for
any man living. "I think 1 am a light
weight. and If any of the men of that
class meet me it will he at practi
cally catch weights by which I mean,
say 135 pounds at 3 o'clock on the day
of battle. That’s near enough to the
lightweight poundage for me ’’
And still 1 have it from one who
knows that if McFarland would real
ly agree to train he could make the
133-pound limit, which after all if
the official weight "f th< class. Per
sonally. I have my doubts and don't
believe he can do any such low
weight and be "right and fit.' and a
man who enters a battle unless well
prepared for it is a fool. No one has
ever yet accused Far-key of being in
any way weak- in his business train
ing
The real truth of the matter is that
Packey has a dread fear way down
deep in his heart. It haunts him every
time he thinks of it. and for that rea
son refuses to "make weight." McFar
land fears the awful "white plague."
He is under the impression that
a pugilist who continually trains and
battles is heir to It. and all the argu
ment in the world can't shake this
conviction from his mind That’s the
real truth, and the why and where
fore that keeps Packey from agree
ing to the 133-pound notch.

117F have before us the names of
three victims three of the most
wonderful champions that ever lived
who were carried away by the great
est foe the flesh must combat. Mc
Farland has probably read the old
volumes of P/istiana and learned these
things for himself—else why this hor
rible dread of reducing whenever ask
ed to do so? There are many more
of the fighting brigade that exited
out of this old world with the cough,
but three will be sufficient to men-
' ton
First and foremost we have Tom
Sayers, the greatest man of his weight
and inches that England ever pro
duced. And at the time of his hold
ing the championship Britannia rul
ed the world in pugilism. Sayers,
never much more than a middle
weight. fought all the hcavtes they
brought to him. Only Bob Fitzsim
mons, in our time, could be compar
ed to him. Sayers was only defeat
ed once, and that by Nat Langham.
hia battle with Heenan being a draw.
Sayers died from tuberculosis before
he had reached his fortieth year. Con
stant training preparing for battle
hastened his death
• • •
T HEN there was Peter Jackson, the
wonderful Australian and without
any doubf whatever the greatest
heavyweight that ever lived. True.
Peter was not forced to "make
weight, hut he w-as required to train,
and in doing so trained away a lot of
vitality which brought about his sick
ness, and add to this the fact that he
continually exposed himself to the
weather
It’s only a few years ago that Joe
Cans went by the same route. Noth
ing more than his constant reducing
to make the required weight bi-ought
on the dreaded plague to (Tans. He
drew upon Nature to so great an ex
tent in reducing away the flesh that
should have remained on his frame,
that the old machine of flesh and
bones ora ked under the strain, and
be passed away, barely having gone
over the 30-vear line.
So with Sayers and Jackson it was
the constant grind of getting into
shape, while with Bans it was ridding
himself of muscle and strength. The
end of all these three great cham
pions was the same, however, and
brought about by the same methods.
It is the. dread of thi occurrence that
has struck fear into the heart of
McFarland'. and that’s whv he won't
tackle the job.
AND yet Packex if. determined to
** battle the men who agree to live
up to the rules and make the pound
age the official code c ills-for. So then
he cannot be classed as p Hgjit\\eight
There cannot If* made any exceptions
for one man without making the same
concession to all If 133 pounds is too
light for that division and Wolgast.
Nelson. Rivers and other champions
declare it is NOT then we will have
to establish a new weighj.
But suppose we make the mark 135
pounds What then? Along would
come some box who couldn't make
it. but could scale down to 137 pounds.
Wouldn't he have the same right to
demand battles against lightweights
as McFarland demands now? Of
Course he would, and the first thing

CHRISTY MATIitWSOK'S
BIG LEAGUt GOSSIP
N EW YORK, May *22. The Athletics still steadily maintain their winning pace in the
American league with a insistence which looks as if they would surely take the pen
nun* \Vf««h1riflrtnn has onooimforo<l CMnaiHurnhlu hm*H i.w.L- ami ih<> >'|uh of Griffith
riant. Washington has encountered considerable hard luck, and the
has fallen off the monstrous pace at which it started the season, largely because the two ends
of the Washington infield have Irecn in the game only irregularly. Cleveland is the surprise
of the race.
The Washington club has two weaknesses at present. On** is the pitching staff, outside
of Walter Johnson, and the other is the torn up infield, which takes away the normal speed of the team. If
Johnson could pitch every day there Would not 1#* any question raised in the Ajnericnn League about which
club will win tlie pennant. That would lie settled now. But Johnson cannot pitch every day. and an argument
therefore remains in thr league. Besides Johnson, no other Washington pitcher has shown exceptional form this
year, with the possible exception of
tJroome, who Is an in-and-oiiter at
irest.
“Live me one airtight pitcher,”
Griffith used to wail constantly when
he was managing the (Mncinnatl club.
“and I will win a pennant.”
'TMIKY gave him about the airtight

joined out with Washington, and
darned if he didn't almost grab the
flag. Then tills year, when it looked
as If lie had his Irest chance to take
the championship, Foster, tin* young
third-baseman whom Griffith had
raised and carved out into a hig
leaguer, was taken ill with typhoid
fever and will lx* out of the game for
several weeks. Landil, the first base
man who lias done so well for tin*
Washington club, was injured some
time ago, and is out of the game.
(Mark Griffith asserts that it was
Landil who put tin* team on a win
ning basis last summer. One good
player, tilling up a weak spot, will
often do tills for a club. The Wash
ington team Imd been badly beaten by
tin* Yankees in a series last spring,
and the club seemed to In* going to

that amount of money. It was just

ed our winning streak which ran up
to seventeen games, and we got the*

Mack’s pitchers don’t look any too
good anyway, outside of Render and
Blank. And Griffith is still asking
for a pitcher.

he says now. And in the next breath,
“There is no such animal at large.”

in his pitchers and Lajoie and Jack-

hand, the Cleveland
sensation of the
American League, and. on the other
hand, as the orators say. the Boston
team is the big surprise of the race
to date. The Cleveland boys are
startling because of their unexpected
good showing, and the Boston Red
Sox, champions of tpc world, because
of their surprisingly poor display.
Birmingham seems to be a natural-
horn manager, one of the few any
where in the world. As a makeshift,
he took hold of the team last year
after it had all tin* heart beaten out
of it by nearly every club in the
American league, and tie gave Cleve
land tin* first good baseball that it
lias watched in several years. With
practically the same men that worked
for the club last year, Birmingham
has set his team up in the fight for
the pennant this time. Even with the
mighty Frenchman. Lajoie. out of the
lineup, they gave the Athletics a very
stiff argument in the series last week.
to date, and are liable to remain the
| class of it indefinitely, from all indi
cations. 1 do not see any club that
can lieat them out of the pennant.
I The team is moving at its old time
speed, and the players are awake to
the fact that they must keep hustling.
None of the old listlessness which
beat the club last year Is apparent
this season. 1 do not see who can
stop them. Mack has two veteran
pitchers who are reliable. Plank and
Bender, and he can piece out his
pitching from the rest of the staff
for the remainder of the games.
That club will absorb a lot of bad
pitching and still win ball games,
because it hits so hard.

IT the Yankees, considered to lie
lie easiest team in the league
and as welcome anywhere as an in
berltance, upset the Naps badly. By
a study of tin* Cleveland club, it
strikes me that Birmingham lias a
very small chance of lien ting out the
year. Without Foster and Landil
the Washington infield is badly slow
ed up. Laporte. who is taking Fos
ter’s place, is exceptionally slow on
his feet. These two missing players

greatly to see him finish above the
T-
HK condition of the Red Sox,
which deserves some exjiert at
tention, is not to lie explained easily.
There air*/ the same men who won
the championship of the world, hut
fhe team is all off its balance. The
pitchers who did such remarkable
work last year are not pitching any
ball at all this season. Of course,
some of my readers may advance the
argument that I think the Giants and
Pittsburg still have a chance for the
pennant in the National League, yet
they botn get away to bad starts.
That is true. But the Giants and
Pirates have not such clubs as the
Athletics and Washington to overtake,
as have the Red Sox. The Boston
team will finish in tin* first division,
where it normally lielongs. hut I do
not lielieve it has better than a very
outside chance for the championship,

the standing of the clubs now as it
was above it last season.

CORBETT WATCHES DILLON
WORK OUT AND HAS BOOST
INDIANAPOLIS. May 22.—Former
Heavyweight Champion James J.
Corbett, who is playing at a local
theater this week, visited Ja»ck Dil
lon's training camp at Riverside Park
to-day. Corbett was eager to see
the Hoosier hear cat in action and
was free with his boosts for the lo
cal pride. "Gentleman Jim" is not
strong on picking winners, but he
knows the make-tip of a good fight
er and he was surprised at the im
proved form of Dillon.
Jack is working like a horse for
his coming bout here May 29. and is
expected to give Klaus a terrific bat
tle. Dillon had some extra sparring
partners on hand and went through
some stiff paces.
"The middleweight champion rests
between Dillon, Klaus and McGoorty,”
said Corbatt. "Let McGoorty meet
the winner of the Klaus-Dilion fight
and we will then be able to hail the
real middleweight champion.
"The chief trouble with the major
ity of fighters in the boxing game to
day is that they are mishandled and
mismanaged, and that, too, is the
principal cause of there being so
much contention as to the. champion
ship honors in the various divisions.’*
