Things surely are breaking badly for Packey McFarland. Matched Thursday to box Matt Wells, the English champion, at Madison Square Garden, New York, he learned yesterday -that the license of the Gotham club probably will be revoked by the state boxing commission. This, coming on top of the recent Milwaukee fiasco, which cost McFarland a chance for the lightweight

championship of the world, as well aa a large chunk of money, makes Packey

look like the original hard luck "kid."

Packey was bemoaning his fate last

night when told of the expected action by the New York boxing commission.

"It begins to look as if I'll never get

a chance at the big fellows," wailed Packey. "Here I . lost the chance of a lifetime with Wolgast and now comes this thing to keep me from trimming Wells, and establishing myself as the only rival for Woigast's honors.

"I've been fighting for a long while

with a fairly good break in the luck.

but now things have turned against me completely. I hope something can

Emll Thiry, who handles Packey, was a sadly disappointed manager last night. "Here I have brought Packey along to the top." said Emll, "only to lose one big match and be in danger of losing another. It certainly is the toughest kind of luck. However, I still have hopes in New York. Billy Gibson has the Fairmont A. C. He will be delighted to stage the Wels bout and the Briton will sign before his club. The Fairmont arena is not as large as Madison Square Garden, but it Is big enough to fight in and that suits us. We want to beat Wells and then force Wolgast into a match."

While this was happening the Giants trimmed the Cardlnals once more, so they still hold their lead of seven games, which no longer

excites one, as the madness is all out of the pennant race. By the slaughter of Mr. Burn3 the Cubs were able to break even on the series of six games with the Phillies, which ended the battling between these teams untl another season. They were also able to defeat once more the as

pirations of Burns to win two games from Chicago in the same series. He's tried It on numerous occasions, but has never succeeded. On Tuesday he shut out the west siders and allowed only one hit. Yesterday the Cubs had a hit inside of forty-five seconds after the game began and before it was over they had banged out thirteen of them, scored eight runs, and greatly humiliated Mr. Burns. -

ARMY AND NAVY AT PENN THIS YEAR Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 23. The annual football clash between the Army and Navy, as represented by the Annapolis and West Point teams, will be held on Franklin field this year, aa heretofore, thanks to a fettltment of the ticket question with the University of Pensylvahla authorities. It is said that both army and navy were loath to play in professional basebal parks. The game will be played on the first Saturday before or after Thanksgiving day.

Cleaning up the Washington series with a double whitewash yesterday, the White Sox annexed fifth place by virtue of

Boston's downfall and shook the glamor of the national capital last night with great glee. The scores were 5 to 0 and 1 to 0. Better than either the double victory or the promotion to the top of the second division was the fact that Frank Lange came back and pitched practically all of the second Came in his old time form. He worked eight Innings of it with the tightest kind of a margin and had the victory as good as earned when he was taken out in the last inning for fear of an upset, as he felt tired after his long absence from the mound. Aside from that, his arm was as good as ever it was. Jim Scott pitched the Senators out with only two hits in the first game, and one of those was a bunt which was

wasted In the closing rounds. The Wyoming celebrity was opposed by Dixie Walker, who fought a good but losing fight all the way.

BROWNS TO CALLAHAN AND GRIFFITH IN SALE? Jimmy Admits Deal Is Pend ing and Probably Will Be Put Through Soon.

Washington, D. C, Sept. 23. Jimmy Callahan and Clarke Griffith probably will be the owners of the majority of

the stock In the St. Louis American league club next season. Callahan admitted today that the deal was pending and probably would be closed In a short time. It is no secret that the American league is willing to have owner Robert

L. Hedges sell out and that Hedges is willing to dispose jt his holdings. 1 Hedges owns 65 per cent of the stock in the St. Louis club. Griffith has been after this stock for over a year and he and Callahan are said to be favored by I President Ban Johnson and the majority of the legue magnates. Hedges had his club sold last winter to a St. ' Louis syndicate, which weakened on the proposition and thereby forfeited $30,000.

hitters and run-getters. The Giants have the best base stealing team ever assembled. I believe Plank will prove the best pitcher, as he is doing better work than Coombs or Bender. Mathewson will be more effective than Marquard, as he shut out the Athletics both times he pitched against them in the series of 1905."

But he did not escape an exciting adventure despite his hollow victory over Ely. At the unsatisfactory termination of the star event, to soothe the disappointment of the fans.
