The direct ors are ‘n sympathy- with Manager Schwarts, and if there in any way to protest the deal and cause it to be declared void, we will certainly do so.

I* was thought we stood a chance of fusing Welchonce anyway, because of not having put in our claim for him bv February 1, but I had been ad vised bv President Somers, of the Naps that there was no chance of Atlanta taking him away from us on such a technicality.

Mr. Hirsig an not even contend that lie secured my consent, and lie knows, as well as do the fans, that 1 had repeatedly said I would not let Perry go unless he was gotten out of the league. "Mr. Hirsig also says that there is no friction between us.

F REDDIE WELSH, the English lightweight champion, who hplds a decision over Willie Ritchie, is one man who is not afraid of Packey McFarland. Although a legitimate 133-pounder, Welsh has time and again offered to meet the .Chicago whirlwind at catchwelghts. But Packey doesn’t want any of Welsh’s game. They have fought three times. Their first battle was on Feb ruary 21. 1908. It wag a ten-round af fair in Milwaukee. At the end Referee Malachi Mogan raised McFarland's hand. A storm of hisses met the aw ard, however, as Welsh at the very worst deserved a draw. The next time they met was in a 25-round session in Los Angeles, on July 4, 1908. Jim Jeffries was the referee, and, although his decision was a draw’, he admitted afterward that Welsh probably had a shade the better of the milling. It was a rat tling scrap from start to finish. In fact. Coast experts declared it the most scientific battle ever held. In 1910 McFarland crossed the'‘big pond” to meet Welsh at the National Sporting Club in London. It was a 20-round affair, and ended in a draw. The scrap made such a hit that the boxing /fans of London clamored for another match, but McFarland took an early boat back to the United States. He had had all of Welsh ne wanted. Since then Welsh has offered Paek- ey all sorts of Inducements to hook up again, but McFarland doesn't cave any more for Freddie’s game than a child does for the measles. found that the straight vegetable bill of fare was a grand invention. So he started Freddie off on thatl sort of feeding. It worked wonders! with the shifty little Englishman, ami| from that day he hasn’t eaten mouthful of meat. CRANK WHITNEY, who is to me-: 1 \ \ I probablj arrive in ihe city th< *1 part of the week. Tickets have beej sent to him at Ms home Rapids, Iowa, and Frank is sure to b« in by Saturday. Whitney believes Atlanta an ide.i! training spot. He says the a.tino?-| phere hereabouts is just the right s r to fill a boxer with tiie good old prft| and ginger. As Welsh will probably weuhl around 135 pounds when he climbs] into the ring, Whitney will not da any reducing this time. Previous!}] Frank has been forced to make low weight in his local matches. Coming in at catchwelghts will a;«| low Whitney to start the millind around the 137-pound mark. This will mean that he will be much stronger! and thereby he is likely to show- much improved wallop.

X X tISCONSIN’S boxing com- V/V mission is a feast-or- famine organization. It does one tiling too well and an other thing not at all. It reaches to extremes, as in the case of Packey McFarland, and falls miles short in another, as in the Eddie MuGoorty flunking case, it bars a man for an offense for which the commission was as much to blame as the boxer and In the other case a boxer who violated flagrantly an agreement goes scot free It proteots the promoter at all hazards, yet lets the boxer go utterly without pro tection. as in the cases of un paid guarantees and transporta tion. AT least, McFarland kept his engagement, which is some-' tiling tha^ Eddie McGoorty did •not do recently when an accred ited representative of his signed up for Him to box Jack Dillon. McGoortv calmly declared off the affair ^fter it had been "on” for several days. Yet not a mo ment's consideration apparently was given this offense by the commission. The members prob ably figured it would be a waste of time, since McGoorty had an nounced that he was going to Australia for a protracted trip.

But they can not attack the honesty of the engagement Packey did the best he could and honestly outpointed his man. That Packey could have knocked Britton out is absurd No one but the commission apparently ex pected such a thing THE Chicago boxer * ( did not weigh in at the time called for by the commission rules. He had a good argument against it. But he did weight in later in the presence of the chairman of the commission, who announced at the ringside that McFarland's weight was “entirely satisfacto ry to me." and later made the statement that Packey 'was not ten pounds heavier than Britton.” which brought the case well with in the wording and tiie spirit of the Wisconsin rules.
