PACKEY DOWN TO 139

WOLGAST WILL GIVE HI A BEAT1MG AT 133. SAYS NELSOM "McFarland WiU Have to Cut Off a Leg to Make the Weight," Declares Former Champion.

Packey McFarland Is weighing 139 pounds after four days of stiff training iworkouts at O'Connell's gymnasium. The man who is to fight Ad Wolgast, tipped the beam at 143 when he started hia preparation for the Milwaukee battle. Sept. 15. "The weight is coming oft fast enough," paid Manager Emll Thiry. at the conclusion of his charge's labors yesterday, "and he can take off six pounds without hurting himself a bit in the next two weeks. There are many who think Packey will be weakened when he gets in the ring with the champion, but they will soon be disillusioned. Leave it to me. I'll have liim fit and he'll win. Battling Nelson, ex-champion, and one of the shrewdest Judges of other fighters in the game, disagreed with Thiry. The EattlerJ a sarcastic look on his face for he and Packey are bitter enemies watched the yards whirlwind step six rounds at the State street boxing school. Then he said: "He looks drawn now at 139 pounds. He can't get down to 133 without cutting off an arm or a leg. If he does make that weight he is in for a fine whaling. For I know how tough "Wolgast Is. At 133 he csrti tear a .fellow

like Packey to pieces in ten rounds. He can do It over a distance at any old weight, too. In fact, I think the old Dane can turn the same trick himself."

McFarland did a few miles on the

road yesterday morning. , In the afternoon at the gymnasium he shadow-

boxed, skipped the rope and worked with the pulleys- Then he pulled on

the mitts and went four rounds with

Chuck Larson and two with Kid Mur phy.

Champion Wolgast reached Milwau

kee about 9 o'clock last night after

long ride from Cadillac with his wife and a party of friends, in his automo

bile. He will start training today at

Nolson's roadhouse, on the Janesvllle

road, with Hobo Daugherty as chief

sparring partner. Tom Jones met hi fighter in Milwaukee.

Bat Nelson will start training at

O'Connell's today for three fights he is

to make in Boston rings with Young

Nixon, Toung Say lor and Matty Bald

of the curious to watch him today. Bat

went to Milwaukee last night, where he conferred with Promoter Mulkern over the prospects of getting a match

at Milwaukee for the near future. He

will leave Tuesday for Boston.

JIMMY CLABBY SHADES GIBBONS Milwaukee. Wis., Set. 2. Jimmy Clabby of Hammond and Mike Gibbons of St. Paul boxed ten tame rounds of a no-decision contest before the Badger Athletic club last night, the popular opinion being- that Clabby had a shade. The bout was so tame that the referee threatened several times to stop It if the men did not war mup. Kid Graves of Milwaukee had a shade over Eddie

Woisinskl of Grand Rapids, Mich., the latter taking Ray Temple's place. In an eight round bout, which went the limit.

lessly stopped by this great youog southpaw, with two lucky runs scored by Cleveland off Ed Walsh, star of the home hurling- stable, the White Sox reserves were called upon in the ninth and rebelled against the oppression of Gregg so successfully that they had at least a draw and probably their freedom from defeat in plain view when the visitors broke up the rally by working a specimen of the hidden ball trick that belongs to the earliest pages of the national -sport.

It worked, so perfectly that everybody, including the Sox coachers, went to sleep on it, and Chouinard was tagged almost standing still many feet off second base.
