SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT
HE WILL QUIT
Chicago Speed Marvel Tells Why
He Should Stick to His
Profession.
C UiJi AGO. ILL., De< 8 Pd-key
, Mc Farland isn’t going: to retire
from the ring. Chicago's gen
tleman boxer, and without question
the greatest ring man since the bent
days of Young Griffo. to-day made
this statement, following a quest.on
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.
Packer is to he married in April to
Miss Margaret Loughran, a Joliet
heiress and society girl, but tfte ring
will not lose him, save for the bri'f
period of his honeymoon, which he
believe* 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, if is McFarfanu 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 ail
toe 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. I don’t s?e
any of our successful business men
retiring when in their best years, sj
why should l?
”1 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
my years of rine toil hut Rockefeller
and others have millions and th y
are still at the grind. I’m young ind
active, and so long as the boxing
game brings me no regrets I’ll con
tinue."
Fights Against Being Marked.
"When the fighting game becomes
such that J must take a beating lor
the money it brings me, when 1 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 squar d
circle, then I will hoist up the Hag j
and say quits, but such a time seems
far distant to me,” declared the Irish
man. .*■-
"I studied the game not to be a
slugger and maul'-r, but to be « box
er— the manly art of self-deffnse. In
ul1 these >ears 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 the battle, the more punishing.
Some day I’ll box at 145 or 160 pounds,
but that time isn’t near. I’m n fight
er. as they say, but no one dreads
more than I do to see what la termed
a slaughter in the ring.
"1 have been studying law for al
most two years now Some day I
hope to Vie admitted to the bar and
be one of Chicago's big lawyers. At
such a time, of course. I’ll retire.”

W’liile watching Harlem Tommf
Murphy at work In hlg gymra-
slnm and noting thd evident i«t
with which he tackles his exerci?ei
and the energy he Infuses into the
things he does, it is hard to realize
all the sturdy little New Yorker hai
been through in the boxing line.
The fact remains that Murphy hai
flourished contemporaneously whai
four world’s champions in his divi
sion-—that he lias seen three of them I
pass Into defeat and out of the lime-1
light, and is now about to box the I
fourth after many years of waiting I
for a chance at the blue ribbon.
A glance at Murphy’s record i*|
highly interesting. It contains ihel
names of such performers as K.
Broad, Young Corbett, Benny Yangerj
Terry McGovern and Frankie Nek
fighters who have been out of thej
game these many years.
When the Battling Nelson-Joe Gausj
feud was at its height Tommy was
fighting such men as Leach Cros. 6

would have been a fair enough cham
pionship candidate at that time If the
chance had come his war.
RINGSIDE NOTES
Matty Baldwin, who has been engag
ing in flstlc battles for nearly fifteen
years, will meet Johnny Griffiths in a
ten-round go in Akron, Ohio, to-night.
Although a real veteran at- the game.
Matty is still capable of giving the best
of them a tough argument.

Packey McFarland, If he has been
quoted correctly, lias a calm and cheer
ful theory of boxing, fine for himself,
nice for bis opponents, but rather se

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 r.o Imrm—as long as they don’t get
fresh and try to hurt me."

If you feel like life is not worth
