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. .Timmy Moran, a lifelong friend, and 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 Just like any other business is to our leading business men.

"1 studied the game not to be a slugger and mauler, but to he a l>ox- , r—the manly art of self-defense. In all these years I haven’t been marked why go In for the brutal stuff now? Then. too. the bigger men meaning j in matter of weight the more gruel ing the battle, the more punishing.

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.
