HIS OWN WEIGHT, SAYS FLOTO
‘What Are You Going to Do About
It?’ Is the Way the Chicago Boxer
Answers Promoters Who Demand
That He Scale for Rival Ringmen.
‘Maisel Will. Make
Good if He Bats
But ,250-Donovan
By Otto Floto.
P ACKET M’FARLAND’S old gag
of “What are you going to do
• bout it?” worked only partly
well in Milwaukee recently. The Box
ing Commission of Wisconsin took a
hand In matters and the Chicago
welterweight who has been getting
•wav by fighting lightweights had to
come, across and show what he
meighed. But then only, remember,
to one member of the commission.
Fine state of affairs when matter*
are sifted to where they belong. The
telegraphic dispatches tell us that
McFarland weighed 147 pounds while
Britton weighed In at 185.
For several years McFarland has
been signing to meet lightweights. He
would attach his name to the articles
ell right to do a certain weight - but
no promoter ever saw the color of
Packey’* coin when it came to de
positing forfeits to make that pound
age. Then McFarland would go
along and train faithfully and when
It came to weighing In time he would
either absent himself like he did with
Cyclone Thompson in Kansas City
and force the promoters to make a
search for him. or he would come in
time to look on while his opponent
weighed in and then step away
When he was asked to get on the
•rales by the promoter he would
shrug his shoulders and refuse
• • •
■ lyotriJ, have to Ret on «nfl weigh
* in. Packey,” is the planner in
which they talked to him 'Til do
nothing of the kind, for that bum is
pretty lucky to get a chance to fight
me." came back McFarland. Then
there would ensue a long and heated
argument which generally wound up
by the promoter insisting that Packey
weigh. But McFarland, knowing that
a big advance sale had taken place,
only smiled and asked. "What are
you going to do about it? Either I
get in the rlhg as I am or rail the
fight off.'' No promoter could afford
to do that and consequently Packey
was allowed to mset his opponent at
ypfch weights
w If there is the semblance of sports-
•manshin In such actions we want to
be shown All will have to give credit
to McFarland for his cleverness and
the shrewd manner in which he has
handled his business for the past four
years. But from a real sportsman
point of view we can’t much admire
a fighter who is a bona fide welter
weight—in fact, a near middleweight
-that* shoujcl be meeting Jimmy Flab
by Eddie MoGoorty and others. In
sisting on battling against light
weights. There is one thing the fight
fans won't stand for, and that is the
Uneven break for the under dog. Mc
Farland is « great card and there
fore his actions are condoned by the
promoter, who probably has • lot at
stake himself. But the great public
that go to see the bouts, and which
have made Packey possible, will wake
up one of these days and such ho«ft-
ijig and hissing as will meet his ef
forts will bring him to a realization
of the real facts and of the unfair
methods by which he has enriched
himself at the game
If McFarland has a right to battle
against light weights, then also
have Mike Gibbons, Jimmy dabby
and others. There isn't four pounds
difference between McFarland and
the two mentioned above. The sur
prising part of it all is that the Wis
consin Boxing Commission consent
ed te allow him to weigh in in the
presence of only one member Why
not step on the scales in public, be
fore the commission sitting as a body
of the whole? ilow do we know that
some “hocus-pdcus’* wasnT worked
and one commission member forced
to overlook the real facts? Why was
publicity denied as to the real truth
and the statement given out “the
commissioner was satisfied?” It isn’t
the commissioner, it’s the dear pub
lic that paid its money that should
tye' enlightened as to just what is
being handed them. It’s only proper
to say that it’s gaining money under
false pretenses when a club bills a
lightweight attraction, when men who
attend wager their money in igno
rance that one of the principals is a
lightweight and the other a welter.
These are facts with w'hlch the pub
lic is entitled to share
Of course things of this kind can
not he kept, for the reason that there
is always a leak somewhere or some
place. Just like the inmates get
news from the outside world by the
underground wireless, so do these
sort of secrets become known to a
few who whisper them about until
finally there Is no longer any mys
tery about it. McFarland weighed
147 pound* at 6 o’clock the night he
fought Britton. When he entered
the ring he must have weighed 149
pounds His opponent, Jack Britton,
weighed 135 pounds at f» o'clock, and'
possibly two pounds more when he
went Into the ring, so that McFar
land had a clear advantage of twelve
pounds over his opponent. Some ad
vantage, w’e should say, when real
lightweight conditions are analyzed.
Can’t Blame Ritchie.
Fan any one for a moment blame
Willie Ritchie for not consenting to
meet the Chicago boxer Not on your
tintype, for Willie is content to re
main a lightweight and not fly off
into the welterweight realm. The
queer part of it all is tHat Packey
insists that he is a lightweight and
really feels hurt when referred to as
a welter The old saying about every
dog having his day holds good in this
Instance, for sooner or later the pub
lic won’t stand for these sort of
matches
McFarland is clever. True be is
one of the best boxers we have ever
seen pull the gloves on. But would
McFarland appear as clever if fight
ing men of his own class as he ap
pears when battling against lighter
opponents That extra tan or twelve
pounds tells an awful tale as the
tight drpgs along.
And incidentally a word to the Wis
consin Boxing Fotnmlssion. Your ac
tions will not go a long way In es
tablishing confidence In your body to
the rank and file of fans who attend
these bouts That Kenosha flivver
by which Ferns was robbed of sev
eral hundred dollars and now this
scheme of allowing a prfvate weigh-
in- well, a few more like that and
the commission will be a joke. 'Twas
ever thus,

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 Wild Bill
Donovan, manager of the Providence
club, of the International league, tried
to snare a couple of player* from the
big league manager* for his team, dur
fng the National League sessions here,
but was unsuccessful. The former De
troit pitching star found time to say a
few word* In praise of Frit* Maisel,
third baseman of the Yankees, who was
secured from Baltimore last season He
said:
“If Maisel can bat .250, and eh ought
to be aide to reach that mark, I be
lieve he will prove one of the most
valuable players in the game His
wonderful speed makes him a danger
ous man every time he gets on has**
There is no question as to his ability
to field. He made a p-eat hit here
with his work at third base, but, as a
matter of fact, I believe that he would
shine even more at shortstop, where he
played most of the time with Baltimore
“Maisel Is a fine young fellow of ex
cellent habits He likes to have plenty
to do. and would cover much ground
at short Whether played at third or
short, however. Maisel will make a
name for himself.

C
HEVILLIARD “hank
ing” his Farman ma
chine with a passenger.
Frenchman Now the Most Cele
brated Topsy-Turvy Flyer in
the World.
By Arnold Kruckman.
M aurice chevillard
writes me that he wilt
bring his loop-the-loop bi
plane to America Just as soon as he
recovers from his injuries. This
blue-eyed. dark-haired, undemon
strative Frenchman with the under
shot jaw achieved the painful distinc
tion of being the first aviator to be
hurt while flying upside down.
At Antwerp, in Holland, two weeks
ago the motor of his Farman aero
plane stopped while he was flying
head down 150 feet above* the earth
and he crashed to the gTound before
40,000 spectators, landing with the
heavy craft on top of him. By some
miracle he was not seriously injured.
The machine as well as the motor,
was completely wrecked.
Over .in France they talk about
Chevilliard like they talk about Lin
coln Beachey over here. If the pre
dictions of experts count for any
thing, Chevilliard was due to meet
his end a year ago. Like Beachey,
there ia no aeroplane hazard that he
has not risked just a little more dar
ingly than any other aviator. While
he was in the French aerial soldiery
he made a number of thrilling cross
country/flights in high winds over
the African desert, as well as In
France.
Little Pegoud, tjie Bleriot flyer,
was the first to loop the loop. It
may sound funny to speak of cau
tion in connection with anything so
hazardous as turning a somersault
in a flying machine: it is a fact,
however, that Pegoud was cautious.
He turned his somersaults and flew
upside down so high in the air that
the operation could only be seen
plainly through glasses. He likewise
ventured the opinion that it wcfiilfl be
impossible to duplicate his feat in a
biplane. i
Chevilliard interpreted that state
ment as another way of saying “I
dare you!” He is chief Instructor in
the Farman School at l>uc. With
^Farman’s permission he took an ordi
nary stock biplane out of a hangar
one windy afternoon early in Novem
ber and announced he would show
what looping the loop really was
like.
By way of preliminary he took a
pleasure spin i-n the ' 50-naile ' wind
from Due to Etamps, Xrom Etamps
to Juvisy and then came back to Buc
in the howling wind and a freezing,
slashing rain.
In this kind of weather he went up
and banked his machine so It hung
sidewise perpendicularly and spun
around on one wing 150 feet from the
ground. Then he went up 1,000 feet
and dashed earth ward with the tail
of the craft pointing vertically
toward the sky. At 50 feet from
the ground he achieved the reputed
impossible feat of levelling his craft
without snapping it asunder.. It had
been a pet theory that an aeroplane
subjected to such a strain, not unlike
the action of cracking a whip, would
simply break into halves.
Chevilliard then went up and
turned a somersault sidewise. Then
he went up to a height of 1.500 feet
and performed the unprecedented
feat of turning five somersaults con
secutively and winding up*by flying
head down for over a mile, at a dis
tance of only GO yards above the
course. He performed his stunts at
such a low altitude that the amazed
spectators cot Id see his shining
white teeth and the whites of his
eyes. He had so far outdone all
other topsy-turvy flyers that France
hailed him as its greatest aerial
daredevil the next morning. And
that, in the classic of George Ade, Is
going some, for France.
A week later at Buc he stabtled
the world by turning the somersault
and flying head down with a pas
senger. It is interesting to note that
Mr. Santoni was the passenger.
There came calls for him and his
machine then from all parts of
Europe. At Pordynone. in Italy, he
accomplished some of the most thrill
ing exhibitions that have ever been
seen in an aeroplane.
During the short time he gave ex
hibitions he earned a fortune.
It is interesting to know that Lin
coln Beachey made his first aeroplane
somersault at San Diego, Cal., on the
day Chevilliard turned a somersault
with a passenger.
BILL JACOBSEN
L
Southern League Star Loaned to
Harry McCormick for More
Seasoning.
By Sam Crane, t
N EW YORK, Deo. 20.—"Big Bill"
Jacobsen, who has been tossed
around Jlke a shuttlecock In his
ambitious efforts to land with the
Giants In the big show class, Vfll
have another chance to reach the goal
of hi* desires.
“Big Bill” ' ha* been with the
Giants through two spring trainings,
and in his first vtsl{ to Mariln was
game enough to pull the badger In
the annual dog and badger fight that
is always pulled off by our Texas
friend* for the especial benefit of the
tenderfeet among the Giants.
Bill made a splendid success in
yanking the vicious animal from un
der the barrel, but in trying to side
step the fangs of the wild beast he
sprained his’ mind and contracted a
Charley horse In the head. He grieved
exceedingly over this sad accident,
and refused to speak to any one, even
McGraw, for several days, but' he
Anally recovered his mental equilib
rium and spirits after he had induced
Gus Frank to pull the badger for the
next fight, and* he became one of the
most promising of Che recruits.
McGraw, however, decided that the
giant Swede needed another year's
seasoning In the minors, and handed
him over to Mike Finn, manager of
the Mobile, Ala,, club, for further sea
soning. Bill did well* there and made
good from the start?
In the opening game of the South
ern league championship season he
cleaned up by making a home run
I over the center field fence on the Mo
bile grounds, a feat that had never
been performed nor duplicated since.
Bill was brought back to New York
; last spring, but only saw the opening
J game at the Polo Grounds, and then
was shipped back to Finn. But he
: had seen the Big City and the Polo
Grounds, and was satisfied to go back
j to the minors again.
The past season Bill lived up to his
Mobile reputation, and broke back
! fences on Southern league ball parks
with reckless eclat and abandon until
he was attacked with typhoid fever.
He was unable to finish the season.
Then the New York club put him on
its “disabled list,” after buying him
from Mobile.
Now Bill has been loaned to the
Chattanooga. Tenn., club, of which
Harry McCormick is manager, and ii
Bill shows class he will again get a
chance to break into the National
League as a Giant.
Everybody who knows the big fel
low and his good-natured ways, hie
tireless energy to make good and the
ambition he has always shown to be
come a big leaguer will root for him.
Miller Pleased With
Trade, but Wants a
Eaise From Huggins
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—“Of course, I
am sorry to leave Pittsburg, but I am
going to give Miller Huggin* the beet
that is in me.” declared Jack “Dots”
Miller, the former Pirate who figured
in the big trade with St. Louis, in com-
I roentlng last night upon hie release,
when seen at his home in Kearney,
N. J.
“I was surprised when I heard that
! I wa» traded,” Miller added. “Clarke
i was over to see me before the trade,
I but never intimated that I might be
disposed of. While I was a little sur-
I prised when I heard the nlws, I was
j prepared for the move, as I knew
I something was brewing since lost siun-
j mer.
“I have no oomplainte to offer. I am
i going fo play lust as hard for St. Louis
i ae I did for Pittsburg. I guess I am
j a victim of that old first base Jinx. But
' I held down the sack as long as any one
of them since the days of “Kitty”
Bransfield. That’s some consolation.”
“Dots” intimated that he expected to
receive more salary from the St. Louis
management than he did in Pittsburg.
Miller Is a wise chap. He 1* making
money in his hotel here and also owns
a lot of real estate in Kearney.
Ball Players Find
New Alibi to Spring
Ball players have a new alibi. When
one of the major leaguers Is old or
traded he explains it thusly: “They
let me go because I show’ed too much
‘pep’ in looking after the interests of
the Players' Fraternity/’
That excuse has been, made at least
a dozen times. The last to spring it
is Hap Myers, first baseman of the
Boston Braves, who was touted as a
wonder during the season of 1913 and
regarded by some as the man who
provided the Braves with most of their
strength. Myers was released to Roch
ester. He blamed it on his activities
with the Players’ Fraternity. He
pointed out that he was given a raw
deal because Boston did not ask for
waivers on him until the close of the
season, when every club wa* loaded up
and unable to take op more men.
Chip Meets Klaus in

ago when he stopped Frank In six
round*.
Kl&us baa been hot after a return
march for weeks, and will have a
chance Tuesday to prove whether Chip’s

rival middleweight8 have been train
ing for the past ten days and appear to
be on edge for the toughest sort of a
fight.
$100,000 Boxing Club

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—A boxing

S T. LOUIS, SO.—Ac offw —J
$30,000 for three years' work wttlj
the local Federal I-eagroc chib,
recently made to Ed Koney, Is receive
tng eeriou* consideration from tbe W*
flrst-sacker who traded teat weak
to Pittsburg: tn a deal Involving eight
men Althougrh Koney refused yes
terday to discuss the Federal League
proposition, it was positively learned
that the local outlaws offered to give
him a bonus of $5,000 and an annuat
salary of $8,335, the same to be ds<
posited to his credit In a bank.
"I have nothing to say that will In
terest the public Just now," Koney
told the writer last night. “I expect i
message from Fred Clarfca 'or Owner
Dreyfuss within the next few days,
After that I may talk."
Boost for Mcwroy.
Koney intimated that he might not
report to the Pirates, although ha
seemed interested In Pittsburg’s pen
nant chances next season. He con
tends that Mike Mowrey Is one of the
best third -sackers in the game. It
properly handled, and' allows that
Clarke is the right kind of a man to,
conduct Mike through a long season,
Harmon, Koney thinks, will prospeS
with the proper kind of coaching, and
with Big Bob to reinforce the hurling
staff of Adams, McQuillen, Hendrix,
Cooper, DufTy and Conzelman. the
Corsairs should be well up In thd
race.
Koney has no regrets upon leaving
the Cardinal club, although he does
hate to quit St. Louis. He denies that
he ever encouraged mutiny In the
ranks, and on the oontrary says he
tried to mediate between Huggins and
his men until euch time as he real
ized the Job was hopeless. Even then,
he says, he tried hard, but the glaring
mistakes of his manager took the
punch out of hhn and his co-Work
ers.
Koney Raps Hugging
"You could have taken the Cardinal
team and let It run amuck without a
manager last season, and It would not
have finished last,” Is dne tribute the
Big Train paid to his former boss.
Koney was displeased that he was
not consulted before the trade was
made.
“I had Schuyler Britton’s word last
summer that If I was ever traded I
would know of it before the news Was
given out to the press,” explained Ko
ney. “but I have yet to receive official
notification. But then there’s an old
adage,. ‘Every dog has his day.' I
may celebrate mine soon."
Until such time as he has been told
of his transfer officially, Koney says,
he will pursue the even tenor of his
way, but then there'“may be soma
news later on.”
