SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT
You’ve Almost Got to Pity the Judge
HE WILL QUIT
BOXING Git
Chicago Speed Marvel Tells Why
He Should Stick to His
Profession.
C >HK AU(» II.I.. I'. - P
McFarland isn't going to retire
from the ring. t'hicagos gen
tleman boxer, and without question
the greatest ring man since the best
days of Young Qriffo. to-day made
this statement, following a question
of whether he would quit the ring ;if
et’ joining the ranks of the benedicts.
A story that the stockyards battler
would retire on his wedding day
prompted the question.
Packey is to be married in April :o
Miss Margaret Loughran, a Joliet
heiress and society girl, but the ring
will not lose him, save for the bri f
period of his honeymoon, which ho
believes will stretch over four month*.
And even in that time th squared
circle will have the pleasure of th*-
Chicagoan, but only in the form of
boxing exhibitions. It Is McFarland s
plan to tour the world with bride.

Mrs. Moran.
Not to Retira
“Why should 1 retire.'' With ad
the seriousness that human mind pos
sesses McFarland asked that ques-
tio "Fighting to me is a business

my years of rlnr toll, but Rockefeller

Par key still has several years to ;o
in the ring, judging from his present
work, for there's hardly a man of nis
weight who can give him what :s
commonly termed a run for nis
money." The stockyards lad admitted
that on several occasions he had de
clared he would retire, but such sta f < -
ments ware forced, lie says. In Ms
talk he made it clear that there isn t
a man in the ring to-day he fears

other men who have been marked for

far distant to me." declared the Irish
man.
"1 studied the game not to be a

such a time, of course. I’ll retire.’
Class Follows Paekev-
McFarland went on at length to te*l
of his ring earnings, which reach al
most $200,000 included in this being
the profit.* of his various investments
— but he laughs at the story published
recently that he would quit the game.

Eastern Lightweight Has Flour
ished Contemporaneously With
Four Champs of His Class.
By W. W. Naughton.
S AN FRANCISCO, CAL., Dec S-
While watching Harlem Tomm r
Murphy at work in hip gymna
slum and noting the evident zest
with which he tackles his exercises
and the energy he infuses into the
things he does, it is hard to realize
all the sturdy little New Yorker ha*
been through in the boxing line
The fact remains that Murphy lias
flourished contemporaneously witii
four world's champions in his divi
sion—that he has seen three of them
pass into defeat and out of the lime
light, and is now about to box the
fourth after many years of waiting
for a chance at the blue ribbon,
A glance at Murphy’s record is
highly interesting. It contains the
names of such performers as Kid
Broad, Young Corbett. Benny Yange
Terry McGovern and Frankie Neb,
fighters who have been out of the
game these many years.
When the Battling Nelson-Joe Gan*
feud was at its height Tommy was
fighting such men as Leach Cros?.

PITTSB17RG, Dec. 8. President
Barney Dreyfuss. of the Pittsburg

that there can be no discussion of
1914 schedules between himself and
Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
ican League, at present.
The local magnate received a Vi
ter from Johnson, suggesting tl.a
the two get together before the Na
tional League’s annual meeting to
consider the 1914 schedule.
"Mr. Johnson Is evidently laboring
under a wrong impression." said
Drey fuss after reading the letter. ‘I
have absolutely no authority to mak«»
a schedule for the National League.
Our committee \\ ill not be appointed
until the meeting to-morrow, and 1
may not be natned on it at all. ’
