Opposite Third National Bank.* 16' j North Bread Street. Atlanta. Ga SPORTING COMMENT By Ed W. Smith. I 1 TlSCONSIN’S boxing com- \/\ mission is a feast-or- ^famine organization. It does one thing 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 Lddie McGoorty dunking case It bars a man for an offense for which the commission was a a much to blame as the boxer and in the other case a boxer who violated flagrantly an agreement goes scot frbe. It protects 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. leans and ruling? Montana respect the p ACKEY M’FARLAN D’S * fense was not grave. of - The boxer deserves the severest cen sure for appearing for his con test with Jack Britton in a half- baked condition, yet the mem bers of the commission, sworn to protect the public, should not have allowed him to enter the ring in that condition and so far overweight—so it was claimed afterward—that his speed was gone. But they can not attack the honesty of the engagement. Packey did the best he could and honestly outpointed his man. That Packey could nave knocked Britton out is absurd. No one but the commission apparently ex pected such a thing * * * THE Chicago boxer did not 1 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 tho wording and the spirit of the Wisconsin rules. Why. then, the year's ban. coupled with the reque* that Ntw York, Now Or- A T least, McFarland kept his engagement, which is some thing that Eddie McGoorty did not do recently when an accred ited representative of his signed up for him to box Jack Dillon. McGoorty calmly declared off the, affair after 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 w'aste of time, since McGoorty had an nounced that he was going Jo Australia for a protracted trip. * • * TIMMY DUFFY, a Buffalo light- *1 weight, agreed to box in Mil waukee with Charley White a short time ago. But he saw fit to call it off later on and left the club completely in the lurch. Duffy claimed he was too ill to enter the ring, which was never proved. Duffy went entirely un punished, and the case doubtless is forgotten in Milwaukee. * * * AT least two cases in which promoters did not live up to their articles of agreement with boxers have been presented to tlie commission, but up to the present time no mention has ever been made of any findings the commission made in either. * * a IJ'VIDENTLY the commission feels that it is the promoters and not the boxers that furnish the State with its 5 per cent of the gross receipts. But the pro moters would have a 'sorry Time of it getting along without the boxers, as they may some day realize. BASEBALL ^Diamond News and Gossip Ferns Beats Denny In Ten-Round Bout NEW ORLEANS.

Goat v**r r**r Freddie Trains on Vegetables W W. S. Farnsworth. f ? • ^ Of L By W. S. Farnsworth. IREDDIE WELSH, the English lightweight champion, who holds a decision over Willie Ritchie, Is one man who is not afraid of Packey McFarland. Although a legitimate 133-pounder, Welsh has lime and again offered to meet the Chicago whirlwind at catchweights. But Packey doesn’t want any of Welsh’s game. They have fought thr^e times. Their first battle was on Feb ruary 21, 1908. It was a ten-rpund :*f- fair in Milwaukee. At the end Referee Malachi Mogan raised McFarland's hand. A «torm of hisses met the award, 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 W’elsh probably had a shade the better of the milling. It was a rat tling scrap from start to finish. In fact, Coast exp* ts declared it the most scientific battle ever held. In >910 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 I. -d all of Welsh ne wanted. Since then W r elsh has offered Pack ey all sorts of inducements to hook up again, but McFarland doesn't taro any more for Freddie’s game than a child does for the measles. * * * \17ELSH is a'strlet vegetarian. He vv hasn’t tasted ment in ten years. And it is a funny story how Freddie cut out meat for vegetables. He was having a hard time making a living along the Bowery in New York, when one day Joe Humphries, who has managed such great fighters as Ter ry McGovern. Young Corbett, Georgo Dixon and a dozen other lesser lights, ran into Welsh. It was while Freddie was acting as sparring partner for some second-class miller. Joe saw in a flash that Welsh was a mighty clever boy, but that he need ed building up. Joe had been “hit ting a McF*adden physical culture res taurant” himself for some time, and found that the straight vegetable bill of fare was a grand invention. So he started Freddie off on that sort of feeding. It worked wonders with the shifty little Englishman, and from that day he hasn’t eaten a mouthful of meat. FRANK WHITNEY, who is to meet 1 Welsh here on January 6, v\ ; probably arrive In the city the latter part of the week. Tickets have been sent to him at his home in Cedar Rapids. Iowa, and Frank is sure to be in by Saturday. Whitney believes Atlanta an ideal training spot. He says the atmos phere hereabouts is just the right sor to fill a boxer with the good old pep and ginger. As Welsh will probably welsh around 135 pounds when he climbs into the ring, Whitney will not do any reducing this time. Previously Frank has been forced to make low weight in his local matches. Coming in at catchweights will Al low Whitney to start the milling around the 137-pound mark. This wi? mean that he will be much stronger, and thereby he is likely to show a much improved wallop. * * # T OU CASTRO, who is promoting this match, is being besieged by pneliminary and semi-windup bo vs since he announced the signing of Welsh and Whitney.
