Welsh Has McFarland’s Goat +•+ Freddie Trains on Vegetables By YV. S. Farnsworth. F REDDIE 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 time and again offered to meet the Chicago whirlwind at catchweights. 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 was a ten-round af fair in Milwaukee. At the end Referee Malachi Mogan raised McFarland's hand. A storm 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 Welsh probably had a shade the better of the milling. It was a rat tling scrap from start to finish. In fact, Coast expi ts declared it the most scientific battle ever held. In 1910 McFarland crossed the “big pond" to meet Welsh at the Najtiona! Sporting (Hub 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 ot Welsh ne wanted. Since then Welsh has offered Pack ey all sorts of inducements to hook up again, but McFarland doesn’t care any more for Freddie’s game than a child docs for the measles. \\J ELSH is a strict vegetarian. vv hasn’t tasted me. t in ten ye BOXING News of the Ring Gam* j .lint Buckley, manager of Tommy I Murphy, made such a holler about hav- |ittg in pa> Murphy's expenses after Wil lie Ritchie had declined to box hint on ■On-embcr 11, that Ritchie gave him *200 j to cover the coat of. training They have | Been rematohed to meet in San Francis co mi January 23.

SPORTING COMMENT Bv Ed W. Smith. 1 1 TlSCONSIN’S boxing com- V/V' mission is a f east-or- famine organization. It docs one tiling too well and an other thing not at all. It roaches to extremes, as in the case of Packey McFarland, and falls miles short in another, as in the Kddio McGoorty flunking case. It bars a man for an offense for which the commission was an much to blame as the boxer and In the other case a boxer who violated flagrantly an agreement goes scot free. It protects the promoter at all hazards, yet lets the boxer go utterly without pro tection. as in the eases of un leans and ruling? Montana respect the 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 waste of time, since .McGoorty had an nounced that he was going io Australia for a protracted (rip. BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip Hi 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. George 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 i*p. Joe had been “hit ting a MeFadden physical culture res taurant" himself for some time, and "WONDER" IS RIGHT. 'linker, Tinker, little slur, you're a ironder—so you are! Tirst. you y re canned with jeers and groans— Then you pet 1(1,000 bones! 1,1 i'... “THE ViCYOK 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. PRANK WHITNEY, who is to meet A Welsh here on January 6. will probably arrive in the city the latter part of the week. Tickets have beea sent to him at his home in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Frank ls sure to be in by Saturday. Whitney believes Atlanta an ideal training spot. He says the atmos phere hereabouts is just the right sort to fill a boxer with the good old pep and ginger. As Welsh will probably weigh 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 a - low Whitney to start the milling around the. 137-pound mark. This ". 1 mean that he will be much stronger, and thereby he is likely to show a much Improved wallop.

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 have knocked Britton out L 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 McFarlands "eight 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 th- wording and the spirit of the Wisconsin rules Why. then, the years ban. coupled with the reuTfcsi that New York, New Or- waukee with Charley White a short time ago. But he sayy fit to call It off later on and left the Hub 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 yvith boxers have been presented to the commission, but up to the present time no mention has ever been made of any findings the commission made in either. L'VIDENTLY the commission feels that it is the promoters and not the boxers that furnish the Slate with its 5 per < ent 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. the accent on the well. DR.
