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- McDowell Sold to Gulls; A1 O’Dell Will Quit League SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT You’ve Almost Got to Pity the Judge -HA-HA,— A.HO o leW'-f-' 1 ^ ®~ HO— H-O - MRS ftOMHAOJ£(L IS ACT iWME AGA/W -VO G (twOW VJ HAT-SHE HC7V5-P 'y£3TK1*t>AV At- THE P-/v rJT.

Murphy at work in his gymna sium and noting the evident zeit with which he tackles his exercises end the energy he infuses Into the things he does, It is hard to realize all the sturdy little New Yorker hae been through In the boxing line The fact remains that Murphy has flourished contemporaneously with four world's champions in his divi sion—that he has seen three of them pass into flefeat 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 n highly interesting. It contains the names of such performers as kid Broad, Young Corbett, Benny Yange Terry McGovern and Frankie Neii, fighters who have been out of the game these many years. When the Battling Nelson-Jo© Gans feud was at its height Tommy was fighting such men as Leach Cross.
