The High Cost of Living Does Not Apply to Revolvers—They Make Life Cheap #
HE WILL QUIT
Chicago Speed Marvel Tells Why
He Should Stick to His
Profession.
C HICAGO, ILL., Dec 8 Packey
McFarland Isn’t going to retire
from the ring Chicago’* gen
tleman boxer, and without question
the greatest ring man since the best
days of Young Grlffo. to-day made
this statement, following a question
of whether he would quit the ring aft
er 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 to
Mis* Margaret Loughran, a Joliet
heiress and society girl, but the ring
will not lose him, save for the brief
period of his honeymoon, which he
believes will stretch over four months.
And even in that time the squared
circle will have the pleasure of the
Chicagoan, but only in the form of
boxing exhibitions. It is McFarland'S
plan to tour the world with h^ bride.
Jimmy Moran, a lifelong friend, and
Mrs. Moran.
Not to Retire.
"Why should I retire? - ' With ad
the seriousness that human mind p »s-
eessea. McFarland asked that ques-
tio' “Fighting to me is a business
just llfte any other business is to our
leading business men. I don't s*e
any of our successful business m«*n
retiring when in their best years. *j
why should I?
“I have made a deep study of the
game, am one of the leaders In m
profession and. I might add, a credit
to the game; > why quit? True. I
have a small fortune, the harvest for
my years of ring toll, but Rockefeller
and others have millions and they
are still at the grind. I’m young md
active, and so long as the boxing
game brings me no regrets I’ll con
tinue.’’
Packey still has several years to r,o
In the ring, judging from his present
work, for there’s hardly a man of ills
weight who can give him what :s
commonly termed a run for Ins
money.” The stockyards lad admitted
that on several occasions he had de
clared he would retire, but such state -
tnents were forced, he says In V.s
talk he made it clear that there Isn't
a man In the ting to-day he f«S *
He believes no lightweight or welter
weight alive can give him more thin
a good work-out, but he goes on the
theory why battle the big men when
you can get plenty of good men who
can make from 1.15 to 140 pound**
Fights Against Being Marked.
"When the fighting game becomes
euch that l must take a < eating lor
the money it brings me. when I must
be disfigured ’ike Battling Nelson,
Johnny Thompson and some of the
other men who have been marked for
fife by the viciousness in the squared
circle, then 1 will hoist up the flag
and say quits, but such a time seems
far distant to me,’' declared the Irish
man.
"I studied th
slugger and maule
t*r—;he 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
In matter of weight the more gruel
ing tlie battle, the more punishing,
tome day I'll box at 14f» or 150 pounds,
but that time isn’t near I’m a fight
er, as they say, but no one dreads
more than 1 do to see what is termed
a slaughter in the ring.
"I have been studying law’ for al
most two years now. Some day I
hope to be admitted to the bar anJ
be one of Chicago’s big lawyers At
such a time, of course. I'll retire.
Class Follows Paokey.
McFarland went on at length to tc’l
of his ring earnings, which reach al
most $200,000 Included in this being
the profits of his various investments
—but he laughs at the story published
recently that he would quit the game.
Packey ha* worked up •» following
among the lovers of ti e manly art of
self-defense such as few men of the
ring have, if any
game not to be a
er. but to be a box-

Hanlon Gets Battle
With Jack Robinson
Eddie Hanlon, local welterweight,
will be given a true test of his abil

Robinson, the veteran ringman, in a
fifteen-round bout at Jacksonville.
Fla, on December 16. Eddie w r ill be
forced to give away several pounds
in weight, as Robinson will scale
around the 155-pound figure, while
Eddie can easily make 142
Billy Lutz, manager of Hanlon, lias

In addition to regular match play,
Mrs King will give exhibitions of fancy
shots.
The two experts reached Atlanta Mon
day morning and promptly went to the
chib rooms to practice.
“I go early in the morning, so as to
dodge the crowds." Mrs. King said. “Of
course, that doesn’t matter if you’re a
man But well, it’s different with a
woman."
A match has been clinched between
Bob Moha. the crack light heavyweight
of .Milwaukee, and Jack FitzgerafiT. the
Philadelphia ringman. The> will clash
in a ten-round bout in New York on
Thursday night.
Packey McFarland, if he has been
quoted correctly, has a calm and cheer
ful theory of boxing, fine for himself,
nice for his opponents, but rather se
vere on the public. Packey is supposed
to have said in Chicago: “I never try
to hurt my men. I am perfectly willing
to go along, box nice and pretty, and
do i.o harm—as long as they don’t get
fresh and try to hurt me.”
Another bout of interest takes place
to-night between Jim Flynn and Bal
