Packey McFarland Gets an Unpopular Decision Over Little Johnny Thompson, Who Made Him Look Sick at Times. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 9. A fighter and a boxer went through ten vicious rounds at the Hippodrome last night and the boxer won an unpopular decision. Packey McFarland, the boxer, by sheer cleverness of hand, perhaps scored more points, but at the end he was holding at, every opportunity, while Cyclone Johnr.y Thompson, the fighter, was the fresher at the end and willing to fight on. He had been the aggressor throughout and the opinion of most of the vast throng of 7,000 ring rans who crowded the big building was that a draw would have been the only fair decision. The crowd hissed for several minutes after the verdict was rendered. Packey, by his victory, edged one step closer to the lightweight championship, while Thompson, defeated, must do over the work of years if he hopes ever to set a chance at the crown worn by Battling Nelson. Packey unquestionably proved himself the more clever. In the distance boxing he scored many blows without a counter, but in the infighting he was not in the same class with the chicken farmer from Sycamore, 111. On mere points McFarland was the winner, as h must h credited with five of the ten rounds, while Thompson had the lead In two, the other three being practically even.. Thompson, however, did all the forcing and seemed little affected by any of Packey's blows save two that sent him sprawling to the floor in the ninth round. He was up in an instant, however,, and fighting away more furiously than ever. In the clinches, of which there were many, Packey semed to do most of the holding and was admonished by the crowd several times for his tactics. Packey, however, proved that he was th more scientific boxer of the two, yet he did not have many opportunities to display any real science, as Thompson kept him busy. McFarland was rushed about the ring by the Cyclone in almost every round, and in the infighting Thompson had the better of it. In the long range fighting Packey seemed able to land blow after blow, but they had little effect. That neither fighter had any intention of 'stalling" was apparent throughout the fight, and both were fighting for a chance at the title. The verdict went o. itf-B-arlnntl. vet the consensus of opinion of the crowd was that Thompson is by no means out of the race yet. Two hours before the doors of the Hippdrome were opened a trirle line of men. three blocks in length, clamoring for admission, jammed the streets. An extra corps of police found it difficult to keep order along the Twelfth street entrance. The doors were opened and there was a wild scramble for the entrance, fully 6,000 men making a wild rush which would have made a flying wedge look like a meeting of the ladles' aid society. In leas than one hour after the doors were opened every seat in the big hall was taken. It was a big, overgrown, good-natured crowd, anxious to see the two noted lightweights in action. It was easily the greatest crowd that has witnessed a battle in Kansas City in years, and a conservative estimate of the gathering was 7,000. At 9:15 the doors were closed, every available foot of space being filled. Thousands were turned away, unable to buy admission tickets at any price. The crowd was wild and clamored for seats, offering fabulous prices for even the SI seats, but none was available. in the preliminary, Harry Brewer, a local man. and Jack Conway started to box eight rounds, but Brewer put his man down twice in quick succession and Conway's seconds threw up the sponge. The fight lasted Just two minutes and forty seconds. At 9:43 McFarland entered the ring, I accompanied by John McFarland, his. cousin and manager, Tedy Peppers and Mellody. He was followed closely hy Thompson. In Thompson's corner were Larney Litchensteln. Jeff O'Connell and Patsy Ho??an. Dr. Benjamin F. Roller, the Seattle physician, who Is to meet Frank Gotch in a finish match at Convention hall Nov. 15, was introduced to the crowd by Brick Owens, the announcer, as the only man in the world who had a chance to defeat Gotch for the championship of tha world. Otto Floto and Billy Roche were Introduced and given great ovations. Referee Joe Coffey was next Introduced. At the last minute, it was decided to do away with the Judges, Coffey being given full power to render the verdict. He called the two fighters to the center of the ring, gava them their Instructions and afterwards they posed for a picture ' Packey looked out over the audience and smiled at a large number of friends. Both he and Thompson appeared as cool as cucumbers. While the two were posing Packey asked Thompson to exchange sides with him. Thompson did so, and then immediately went back again because his cauliflower ear would have shown in the picture. THE TIMES CAX GET YOU 4. GT&i

MOTES

EAST CHGO. The East Chicago football team lost their first game for two seasons last Sunday to the Hyde Park Maroons, when Steffen, the Hyde Park quarter, booted the ball between the posts from the thirty-yard line. The game was fiercely contested throughout both halves, the visitors being outplayed the first half and on the defensive all the time. Shortly after the second half started J. McShane, East Chicago's quarter back, became injured and had to be taken out. From this time on East Chicago semed to lose ground, although fighting desperately to defend their goal. The East Chicago team was greatly handicapped by the absence of four of the regulars, whose places were supplied by subs. Halfman, the star Hammond half back, and Dougherty, their aggressive tackle, were In the lineup. The first half ended with neither side scoring, although East Chicago was near enough to by two field goals which went wide. The Hyda Park team Is one of the best around the south side and are a fast bunch of players. They considerably outweighed East Chicago and played havoc with the East Chicago line. Halman's open field work was very brlllant. Douglas at center for East Chicago played good ball and was ably assisted by Hascall and Mc-Intosh in the back field. Another game is being arranged for by Manager Hascall. The fact that the Maroons held the Eckersalls to a tie score gives East Chicago great hopes of a victory over the Hammond Athletic club on Thanksgiving day. Carl Griffin of Itammond refereed and pleased eerybody with his Just verdicts. The only objectionable feature of the game was the fact that two players were hurt. One Hyde Park ! player had his collar bone broken and J. McShane sustained a serious injury to his arm. East Chicago Left end, Snedden; left tackle, Huwlg; left guard.

Freddie Welsh yes terday gained the undisputed right to the lightweight championship of Eng land by defeating Johnny Summers in a twenty round battle before the National Sporting club in this city. From the very start there was no question of the victor's superiority, for he outgeneraled his foe at every turn. Summer's plunging tactics earned him the plaudits of the spectators, but there was no , compensation for the stunning blows dealt out to. him by his clever adversary. Welsh fought well planned battle, timing his blows correctly and landing repeatedly. Welsh forced the milling from the out set, but Summers was every ready for Welsh's attacks. It was the case of a slugger pitted against a ring general and the latter won. In the first ten rounds Welsh piled up enough points to gain him the ver dict. He fought cautiously at the start and finished with a burst of speed that almost carried Summers off his feet. In the early rounds much clinching prevailed. Summers was the chief offender. The referee warned both repeatedly and the last ten rounds were free from any holding by either of the contestants. Welsh ruled a slight fa vorlte in the betting. Lord Lonsdale was gratified by Welsh's excellent showing and present ed the victor with a gold bediamonded emblematic of the title. Welsh's man ager will Immediately begin negotia tions for a battle. 'with Battling Nelson the world's lightweight champion JEFF SEES STARS; BERGER CLOSES EYE Manager Celebrates Re sumption of Boxing byLanding Hard Blow. New Tork, Oct. 9.

Jeff and Sam appeared in the sketch at the Plaza music hall which Includes a three round bcut Jeff felt so frisky that he crowded Ber ger a little too hard, and Sam thought it would be a bright plan to paste Jeff a good one and run. He did. His left glove landed with a thud under Jeff right eye, and a "mouse" immediately appeared on the scene. Berger re treated to the dressing room, and Jeff hRd to coax for twenty minutes before Berger iimmond up nousrh coura tc? ,et the old grlisly of the ring enter.

At the conclusion of Jeffs turn with Berger he made a short speech, saying: Johnson has been hounding me all over the country for a fight. When I told the American public that I intended to take up this matter I meant ust what I said. I have no doubt that the championship will remain with the great white race." Jeff romped back and forth behind he scenes as though he enjoyed it. He was pleased at the improvement In his breathing, the result of several operaIons to remove the foreign growth In his nose. I have worked wonders In my con dition," went on Jeffries. 'I felt as strong as a bull and the lungs got a square deal. Berger seemed like a lit tle baby in my hands today. I was wishing it was Johnson. Just a few more weeks and I'll be prime. - A little ess about the waist and I will be all right. 'I'll have twenty fights before I get Into the ring with Johnson. Right in the training camp, too. I don't abuse my sparring partners, but I make 'em work and I make 'em fight. Joe Ken nedy and Brother Jack will tell you that. Jack Gleason here can tell you how we worked. I didn't beat them up, but I made them land on me as oft en and as hard as they could." NOTRE DAME TEAM RESTS Gold and Blue Tired After Michigan Trip. Notre Dame, Ind., Nov. 9. The Notre Dame team was allowed to take a rest veeterdav. the men being tired after their trip from the Wolverine camp Coach Longman has not yet returned from Ann Arbor, but will be on hand today, when It is expected that the men will be ready for more work. With the exception o-f Dimmy, the giant tackle, who wrenched his arm in the second half of Saturday's game. the men are all in good condition, the minor scratches which they received not being such as will keep them off the field. There was nrobably never a better example of the spirit which has won for Notre Dame in so many struggles than that shown by Dimmy in Satur day's game. Although his arm was so badly wrenched as to make It almost useless, he refused to quit and would not even take time out. as ha knew that such action would betray his in Jury and lay his end of the line open to Michigan's plays. Notre Dame is Jubilant over the suc cess of the team In proving their su perlorlty over Michigan, as they be lleve that the victory- will lead to a more general recognition of the merits of the gold and blue athletes. They regret that a game with Indiana is not scheduled this year, as a victory over Sheldon's men would give them an Tindisputed title to state honors, no danger being anticipated in the game with Wabash on Nov. 20. GOVERNOR TO PASS ON MATCH Oklahoma Executive Sound ed on Big Match. Guthrie. Okla., Nov. 9. Joe Miller, representing the Miller Brothers' 101 ranch, blders for the Jeffries-Johnson fight, asked Governor Haskell whether the state would permit the contest to be held in Oklahoma. Governor Haskell told Miller to make a Written statement of what he wanted and a written reply would be made Wednesday. The governor then made the following statement: "I do not know Just what the enactments of Oklahoma cover in this regard, but one thing Is certain, the laws will be enforced as long as I am govrnor. It is really humorous to ask me what I might or might not do in cae a set of mn should come Into the state with an exhibition in violation of the statutes. We have a habit of meeting rontin gencief as they arie.' Miller said he thought the bout could b held If th principals at'rpj. tl Uie purse offered.
