Chicago Speed Marvel Tells Why
He Should Stick to His
Profession,
C hicago, ill. d*c 8 Hai-key
MrFjtrland Isn't going; to retire
fmm tha ring: Chicago’s gi*n-
tl«man boxer, and without question
the greatest ring man since the best
days of Young Griffo. to-day made
thin statement, following a question
of whether he would quit the ring aft
er joining the ranks of the benedicts.
4 story that the stockyards battler
would retire on his wedding day
prompted the question.
Par key Is to be married in April ;o
Miss Margaret Lough ran, a Joliet,
heiress and society girl, but the ring
will not lose him, save for the bri-*f
nerlod of ids honeymoon which he
believes will stretch over four month.-*.
And even in that thne tho squared

Chicagoan, but only In the form of

"Whv should I retire 0 With ail

"I have made a deep study of the
game, am one of the leaders *n my

work, for there’s hardly a man of nis
weight who can give him what !«
commonly termed a rnn for his
money." The stockyards lad admitted
that on several occasions he had de

ments were forced, hs says. In his
talk he made it clear that thenra lan t

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

"I have been studying law for al

such a time, of course. I'll retire ”
Class Follows Packey.
McFarland went on at length to tell
of his ring earnings, which reach al
most $200.000—included In this being
the profits of his various investments
but he laughs at tho story published
recently that he would quit the game.
Packey has worked up a following
among the lovers of the manly art f j

Eastern Lightweight Has Flour
ished Contemporaneously With
Four Champs of His Class,
By W. W. Naughton.
S AN FRANCISCO, CAI>„ Dee. !-
While watching Harlem Tommy
Murphy at work In Ills gymni-
alum and noting the evident zest
with which he tackles his exsrdsei
and the energy he Infuses Into ths
things he does, It is hard to reslli*
all the sturdy little New Yorker hai
been through In the boxing lire
The fact remains that Murphy has !
flourished contemporaneously with
four world’.* 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 ehhnce at the blue ribbon.
A glance at Murphy’s record
highly interesting. It contain? 'h*
names of such performers a? Kiui
Broad. Young Corbett, Benny Yang'- *
Terry McGovern and Frankie Xei:,
lighters who have been out of the
game these many years.
When the Battling Nelson-Joe Gans
feud was at its height Tommy vas
fighting such men as Beach Cross,
Matty Baldwin and Packey McFar
land. and this Is ample proof that he
would have been a fair enough cham
pionship candidate at that time if th*
chance had come his way.
