SPORTING COMMENT
By Ed W. Smith.
\ TISCONSIN’S boxing com-
\/\/ mission is a feast-or-
famtne 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
Kddie MvGoorty flunking case. It
bars a man for an offense for
which the commission was as
much to blame ns 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 cases of un
paid guarantees and transporta
tion.
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 publif, 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
• a •
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 latter made the
statement that Packey ' w is not
ten pounds heavier than Britton.”
\ “ w h
n the wording and the spirit of
the Wisconsin rules Why, then,
the year's ban. coupled with the
request that New York, New Or
leans and Montana respect the
ruling?
* * *
AT 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 to
Australia for a protracted trip.
• * *
TIMMY DUFFY, a Buffalo liqht-
J 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.
• * a
AT least two cases in which
^ promoters did not live up to
their articles of agreement with
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.
* * *
'C'VIDENTLY the commission
feels that it is the promoters
and not the boxers that furnish
the State with its 5 per < ent of
the gross receipts. Rut 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
By W. S. Farnsworth.
F reddie welsh, the English
lightweight champion, who
holds a decision over Willie
Ritchie, 1s 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 whp in a
25-round session in Los Angeles, on
July 4. 1908. Jim Jeffries was the
referee, and, although his decision
was p 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 erp< ts declared it the
"most scientific battle ever held.
In 1910 McFarland crossed the “bis-
pond” to meet Welsh at the National
Sporting Club In Ixmdon. It was a
20-round affair, and ended in a draw.
TJie 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 all of 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 does for the measles.
• • *
\17ELSH Is a strict vegetarian. He
' * hasn’t tasted meat 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, 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 r in a flash that Welsh was
a mighty clever boy. but that he need
ed building up. Joe had been “hit
ting a MoFadden 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 th«t
sort of feeding. It worked wonders
with the ahifty little Englishman, and
from that day he hasn't eaten a
mouthful of meat.

17RANK WHITNEY, who Is to meet
1 Welsh here on January fi, will
probably arrive In the city the latter
part of the week. Tickets have hepn
sent to him at his home In Cedar
Rapid/?, Iowa, and Frank is sure to be
in by Saturday.
Whitiey believes Atlanta an Ideal
training spot. He says the atmos
phere hereabouts is just the right sor
to fill a boxer wJth 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 al
low Whitney to start the milling
around the 137-pound mark. This will
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
preliminary and semi-windup boyp
since he announced the signing of
Welsh and Whitney. Kid Young
Meyer Pries, Mike Saul, Frank Baker
Spider Britt, and ten or twelve others
are camping on Dou's doorstep wait
