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.-*.

I Jimmy Moran, a lifelong friend, and Mts. Moran. Not to Retire. "Whv should I retire 0 With ail the seriousness that human mind pos sesses. McFarland asked that ques- tlo "Fighting to me Is a business Just like any other business la to our leading business men. I don't s*o any of our successful business men retiring when in their best years, to why should 1? "I have made a deep study of the game, am one of the leaders *n my profession and, I might add, a credit to the game; why quit? True. I have a small fortune, the harvest for mv years of Tine toll but Rockefeller and others have millions and they mre 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 In the ring, judging from his present 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 clared he would retire, but such ata’c- ments were forced, hs says. In his talk he made it clear that thenra lan t a man 1n the ring to-day he fears 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 g<*>d men who can mAk« from 135 to 140 rounds Fights Against Being Marked. "When the fighting game becomes such that I must take a beating tor The money it brings me, when I must be disfigured Mke Battling Nelson, Johnny Thompson and some of the other men who have been marked for fife hr the viciousness In the squared Circle, then I will hoist up the flag and ear quits, but such a time seems far distant to me," declared the Irish, man. "I studied the game not to be a s agger and mauler, but to be a box- the manly art of self-defense. In all these vears T haven't been marked why go In for the brutal stuff now 1 Then, too, the bigger men- meaning In matter of weight—the more gruel ing the battle, the fnore punishing. £ome dav I’ll box at 145 or 150 pounds, hut that time Isn’t near. I'm a fight er as they aav, but no one dreads more than’l do to **•« 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 and be one of Chicago's big lawyers. At 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 s^lf-defense such as few men of <uej i np have, 1f any.
