Lightweight Champion Ad Wolgast today completed hard training for his bout tonight with "Knockout" Brown of New York. The Cadillac fighter had grown heavy during his long rest and was forced to put in some hard licks in order to make the lightweight limit He hopped on the scales after his gymnasium work yesterday and weighed exactly 133 pounds- He will do only light work until called into the ring. The advance sale for the fight is extremely heavy and indications are that the crowd will be the largest that has attended a fight here since Jack Johnson and O'Brien met in their six round tilt. , . ' DAVE SMITH BEATS CYCLONE THOMPSON Sydney, N. S. W., Feb. 7. Johnny Thompson, the American boxer, was outpoined by Dave Smith, claimant of the world's middleweight championship, in a twenty round bout at Rushcutter's Bay yesterday. The battle was a hard fought one all the way, Thompson bor ing in continually and attempting to wear the Australian down. Smith however, was too clever for the invad er. Thompson, who came here as a lightweight, has outgrown that class and looked fully as large as Smith. 17 ATHLETICS SIGN UP Philadelphia, Pa.. Feb. 7.

ETHkBLUD DEFEATS KEYES, BUT ISJItjJil FIGHT Packey Outpoints His Opponent, Who Rushes and Mixes Things Throughout.

Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 7. Packey McFarland clearly outpointed Bert Keyes last night at Labor temple, but went through six of the roughest rounds he ever fought. The Chicago boy was entirely too clever fpr his opponent, whose sole aim was to score a knockout. Keyes tried repeatedly for a finishing punch, but Packey glided away from the sleep producers and peppered Bert with cutting jabs. Keyes was not satisfied with the result of last night's go. He declared after the fight that he was confident he could whip McFarland in a long engagement and challenged Packey for a twenty round bout. The first round of the battle was full of action and it looked for a short time as if McFarland would win before the first three minutes were over. Kyes started the bout with a wild rush and tumped his chin into a left uppercut. The blow was a hard one and Keyes BBOWII BACK Hi FORM FOB PElflMI FIGHT Chance Wires Mordecai Is in Great Shape; Start East Monday. That Mordecai Brown will twist some of his old-time three-fingered curves over the plate for the Cubs next summer was Indicated in a telegram received yesterday by President Murphy of the "West Side club. The message came from Manager Frank Chance, saying that he and Browpie, with Mrs. Chance and Mrs. Brown, would defy all the beliefs of superstition and start from California for Chicago next Mon day, Feb. 13, the thirteen being the supposedly unlucky omen. Then tacked onto the message were a few words saying that Brown was in great shape and expected another of his successful seasons. There was considerable talk about town last fall that Brownie was going back; that he was not the pitcher of old, and that the reign of the Cubs Was likely to fall more for that reason than any other. Just those few encouraging words from Manager Chance regarding his principal slabman has raised high hopes with President Murphy and will star the West Side fans more than anything else, for Brown has been their idol for five years and they want to see him rule for another five.

SENSATION OF AMERICAN LEAGUE LAST SEASON HOPES TO MAKE NEW 1911 RECORD.

f - , "Sometimes you may slip a cog and do not do as good as one expects," says Rus Ford, who won twenty-six games and lost six for the Yankees last season and finished up as the sensation of the American League. "1 expect to be among those In the fashionable set In the pitchers' department In our league next season, although my record may not come up to that of last season. There Is no use In batting out that old gag about

was badly hurt. He rushed into a clinch and pulled himself together in short order, and showed his wonderful vitality by carrying the fight to Packey in vicious style during the remainder of the round. Packey had the better- of the next three rounds and piled up additional points in the fifth and sixth. He jabbed the eastern boy time and again, but his blows seemed to lack the- necessary power for a knockout. Those at the ringside scored McFarland for not fighting harder when it looked as though he was merely trying to win on points, but he laughed and told the crowd that Keyes , was a hard man to hit and a fellow with a dangerous wallop. Enough of Keyes' . hard swings came close enough to Packey's jaw to give him some respect for them. The consensus of opinion of those at the "bout was that Wolgast would have a hard time holding the Chicago boy even when the two meet Feb. 22.

Chance and Brown should be here on Thursday of next week and wil then have ten days to prepare for the start of the spring training trip. A peculiar thing regarding the telegram from the P. L. was that he said nothing about Orvie Overall coming along, though the big pitcher has been a companion of Brown all winter. Orvie has not been signed'' for next season and there has been talk of trading him. L OF FITTEST 111 AUTO UIDUSTRY Merchants Forced to Adopt Motor Trucks and Most Efficient Will Win. . Business Is like a great river coursing its way onward through ' Innumerable channels and branches of the world's activities, the shores of which are strewn with successes and failures, unfoi-'nately mostly the latter. In the annals of history I doubt if any business has developed with such rapidity or taken such a firm hold on the masses generally as the automobile industry. It has a great future, particularly the commercial end, the surface of which has "scarcely been touched. This branch of the business is in its infancy. Its development has not been as rapid as the pleasure end, but with the realisation that the commercial car being in there taking my turn In the box. but I hope to get In the best of coditlon and go after a record like-' that of last season. I think we hare a splendid team to help me do the trick." Ford is taking things easy at Minneapolis, practicing drawing cartoons. The Yankees star pitcher is some pumpkins In this line, and will also try to derelop something new In the pill line to serre tip to the opposition next season.

Is an absolute necessity, also that the public resents past century methods. skepticism will completely die out, and In a short time this branch of the industry, with proper genrealship, will reach a proportion, the magnitude of which is beyond figuring. But, great as is the outlook, we may as well be honest with ourselves and agree it will be a battle, a question of the survival of the fittest. GAME OF CUE MEET Chicago Player Matched With Dr. Mial in International Tourny. New York, Feb. 7.

Following the usual custom, the losing players will then follow in rotation in the making up of the schedule. All of the games will be 400 points. Albert G. Cutler, the Boston professional, will act as referee. Boston. Mass., Feb. 7. It came out today that Beals Wright, William Larned and Maurice McLaughlin .the three top notchers in American tennis, are planning to go abroad next summer with the intention of lifting the Davis cup, now held in Australia. The only question that must soon be brought to a head Is the English end of the negoLtlatlons. The proposed annual series recently suggested by Great Britain would probably be used as the elimination struggle. It is the first himj to think about when you meet with an injury.

The former terror of all featherweights is at the Arlington hotel dangerously ill.
