Cleveland, O.. March 1. After glvlni a wonderful exhibition of boxing, Packey McFarland, the Chicago marvel, knocked out Tommy Devlin of Philadelphia last nigxt in the fourth round of what was to have been a ten-round battle before the Eagle's Club. Packey. a sensation with the gloves, had Devlin at his mercy all through the mill. Devlin was puzled by Packey's feinting and could not solve his methods of leading: and blocking;. The end came In the fourth period, when Tackey after mauling Devlin all over the ring-, shot a swift straight left to the point of the jaw, sending Devlin to the ropes and to the floor. Just as the referee counted ten the gong was rung:. Referee Ed Davis ruled that Devlin had taken the full count. Drvlla Look Like Amateur. Devlin, who has done some - clever fityhting in the past around here, seemed like a mere amateur before the clever felrrting and sidestepping: of his tricky opponent. Tommy tried all he knew, but lacked the class of McFarland. Packey opened the festivities with a straight left to the jaw in the Initial round after they had feinted and -fiddled around the. ring. He repeated his punch later and repeatedly made Tommy miss. The Philadelphian seemed unable to figure Packey out. and after a minute of feinting and sidestepping took a wallop in the Jaw

that floored him.. The bell saved him from further punishment and probably a k. o. then and there. In the second stanza Devlin attempted to force matters, but met with right and left Jab that staggered him. Tie

Case plows have but a single bail and the beam can move up and down just a little in the frame. This allows them to take care of small ridges and depressions.

simply could not get inside Packey's ilefense, except in the clinches, when he landed a few light body blows. The third was a repetition of the first, although the fast going began to tell on Devlin. McFarland gave a great exhibition of ducking and most of Devlin's swings were wasted on the 'air. They Jiddled about the ring

and feinted for openings in such a way !

that It raised a laugh, at Devlin's expense, however. Devlin tried to speed up and dig a hole in Packey's defense in the fourth round, but was stopped by a rain of uppercuts. Jolts and punishing body blows In clinches. He simply could not solve Packey's style. After a succession of rights and lefts to the head Packey slipped over the sleep producer. VThe referee and the gong did the rest There was those who sat at the ringside who said McFarland never was better in. his life than tonight. One critic averred .Packey could be welter champion any time he wanted to claim the honor.

Tonight when the East Chicago and

the Hammond high school basket ball squads line up at Huehen's hall in their second contest of the season a. fast, and hard fought game is looked for as East Chicago has strengthened it3

iineup considerable ana are going into the game to turn the trick on Hammond.

Although Hammond defeated Kasi ! Chicago earlier in the season by a large score, they are not over optir.i-'

istis about tonight's score, as East Chicago has defeated Crown Point, who in turn walloped Hammond. This fact ought to make the game more interesting and assHammjnd is playing under .the b'8t of condition and each team is expecting to hand the other a good drubbing there ought to be something doing every minute. Whiting iiigh school now claims the county championship having defeate-1 all the teams they have run up against. They also defeated Hammond, but by such a small margin that Hammond thinks it ought to have another chanceat least, to get a claim on the honors. The high school has never had such an evenly balanced team In Its history.

They have met some remarkable teams. Including Montlceilo who put in a bid for the state honors, but they met defeat at the hands of the Hammond stars and credited them with a brilliant quintet. . The Hammond team Is not made up of only one individual star, but there are five men on the same level, who all play the headiest kind of team work, guarding and basket pegging. The fact that the players are on an equal is what makes excellent team work. In Crumpacker and Jones they have two of the best guards In the county while their forwards Johnston and Smith are playing in stellar form. Van Gilder at center Is In a class by himself, very few ever getting the Jump on him. Although Hammond started the season a little late they intended to finish the season In whirlwind style and their game tonight with East Chicago will decide whether they are still In the ring. A large crowd Is expected at the game tonight as a big crowd Is expected from East Chicago.

EAST CHICAGO FIGHTS ARE STAGED THIS

EVE G

TWO TEAMS MEET FOR HOWS TONIGHT East Chicago and Hammond Mix in Hammond in Basketball.

Everything is in readiness for the big boxing and wrestling card to bt staged at the Lewis skating rink at East Chicago tonight and If the crowd comes up to the expectations of the management a big house Is expected as delegations are expected from Hammond, Gary, Indiana Harbor and Whiting, i Some of the best talent that could be secured has been signed up for these matches and when the gong calls the rugged little scrappers to the center of the ring, the fans will have an opportunity of seeing some bouts well worth their money and time. Besides the two bouts a wrestling match will be staged and the grapplers expect to put up an article of scientific work. The wind up will bring together Jimmy Welsh the crack English bantam weight In an eight round go with Young Christie at 115 pounds. Since Welsh's invasion in the country he has fought some of the best in the

states and a majority of them has been sent to dreamland in attempting to stop a punch for which he is noted Young Christie is also hailed as a wonder having won his last eighteen battles without losing a decision. Much Interest Is being wagered In jthe wrestling match between Bull Higglns of Chicago and Jack Messinca an East Chicago grappler In the preliminary. As Messinca Is what we would term as a new one at the game, he will try and see what he can do with a rugged customer like his opponent and his many friends think that the Chicago grappler will have his hands full. Eue Blaney the crack Xew . York lightweight and Ted Stout will be seen in the aemi-windup in a 6 round go. The weight has been agreed upon at 133 pounds and their bout is expected to be one. of the best of the evening's program. Tommy Downee will referee and William McGraw will act as timekeeper.

The Dave Lederers of Hammond are anxiously waiting to hear from Crown Point and Hobart for ' a basketball challenge, but to date no word has been received from either club. (- As Crown Point and Hobart have not played with any of the first teams In the Calumet region, Hammond Is anxious to get a game with them in order to tell who's who in running to the championship honors. So far the Whiting Owl club holds that honor, but the two quintets would like to hear from some of the other tams.

In one end of the Hoereth club overlooking the "gym," where the boxing shows are given. Is a.large balcony. This will be reserved for women fanJ with escorts because of the complaints of the fair ones that the members of the club should not exclude them on walloping nights.

said President , W. J. McAleer thU morning, "and it is no more than likely that one will be held before the latter part of March or the first of April. "That will give us plenty of time to make all arrangements before the season opens and will also give the cliff - erent managers and representatives un opportunity of thinking aver the proposition of forming an eight team league In Northern Indiana. So fat the movement looks favorable and it will undoubtedly go through as all the cities Interested have given their support."
