The sudden death of Arthur Devlin's father, a wellknown merchant, from congestion of the lungs, has not only prostrated the young ball player, but brought an abrupt end to plans Devlin had made to provide a home in the country for the o.ld folks and at the same time get himself into condition for the coming baseball season. Two weeks ago the New York Na tional's third baseman bought a seventy-acre farm in Odsenton, Md., twenty-two miles outside of Washington, and next week it was proposed to have the elder Devlin and Arthur's mother join the ball player.

Hart has whipped Johnson once. Hart is training hard for his fight with Mick Schreck Monday night. Both men are in fine shape. Special trains will be run from Cincinnati and Louisville to bring supporters of both men.

Packey May Accept Jeffries' Offer for, Another Bout With Freddie Welsh. Packey McFarland, accompanied by his manager, Harry Gilmore Jr., his trainer, Pat Kinneally, and his cousin, Johnny McFarland, left at 10 o'clock last night over the Northwestern rail road for Los Angeles, where he will meet Fighting Dick Hyland before the Pacific Athletic club In a ten round bout Jan. 15. Manager Gilmore said he had re ceived some good offers from James J. Jeffries and the Pacific Athletic club for a match between his protege and Freddie "Welsh, the English fighter, and that the pair probably would meet for the third time before Packey and his party return from the coast. Jeffries wants the men to go on before his club at Los Angeles some time early in February and according to Gilmore his offer probably will be ac cepted. "I guess Gilmore will fix up another fight with Welsh for me," said McFarland. "Of course it's up to me to beat Hyland, but I a min gbod shape for the bout and ought to do It. I believe I can beat "Welsh if I get another chance and I am anxious to get It." The McFarland caravan will . reach Los Angeles at 8 o'clock Wednesday night.

Nothing but the meeting betwten the two heavy-weight championship candidates is being talk ed of In Pacific coast fight circles and the Vernon promoters are figuring on an extra heavy attendance. Barry, if he wins, will ask the club officials to match him with Sam Lang?ord in a forty-five round battle. The Chicago heavy-weight claims to be in better shape now than he ever has been during his fighting career and Wants a chance to wipe out the record of his former defeats at the hands of the terrible Langford. Once he masters the Weymouth negro, Barry will blossom out as a full-fledged contender for the heavy-weight crown and will start trying for a match with Jack Johnson. NEVER AGAIN, SAYS JEFFRIES Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 27. The Syd ney cablegram to the effect that Promoter Mcintosh is coming to this country to arrange the Jeffries end of a Jeffries-Johnson battle only served to irritate the retired heavy-weight champion. "I have said that there wasn't one chance in ten million that I would ever fight again and I meant it," said James J. Jeffries when seen. "Why can't the public take what I say as final and let it go at that. Only last week I took the trouble to write out in detail my reasons for never again entering the ring. I am through with the game forever. It isn't a matter of money tnat is, im not waiting to have the thing bid up. I will never fight again and Mcintosh might Just as well save his time and money if he is coming to America to get my name to a set of articles." REJOICES AT BURNS' DEFEAT Cincinnati, Dec. 27. Mike Schreck, the heavy-weight fighter, expressed gratification at the defeat of Tommy Burns today, saying that Burns got what was coming to him for not giving him and the rest of the heavies a chance at the title.

He said he has not negotiated with Jones. Papke expects to rest five or six months and then get Into active training for renewed hostilities with Stanley Ketch el, who wrested his title from him, and Hugo Kelly, the Chicago Italian. Handsome Is a Handsome Doe. Augustus Thomas, the playwright, told in a recent speech of a hunting trip he had taken In the south. They were after 'coons and 'possums, but the only'trail the dogs struck was one which made them put their tails be tween thel rlegs and turn for home. "Just what does a polecat look like?" Mr. Thomas asked tne of the negro guides. "A polecat, bass? Why, a polecat's somefin' like a kitten, only prettier, Yes, a polecat's a heap prettier'n a kit ten, ain't It Sam?" he said, turning to another negro for corroboration. Sim did not seem so sure.
