WHITE SOX

Philadelphia, Pa.. Feb. 10. Connie Mack today said that "the American league race will be the closest we have ever had. All the teams have strength-i-ned but Washington and Boston. If their pitchers hold up they are going to give the rest of us a hard batlle. Comiskey'a White Sox look to me to be the dark horses in the race. Their two new men will build the team up wonderfully. I look for more improvement from them than from any other club with the exception of New York. Chance may corns through fast, but I hardly think it likely." lie picks the clubs to finish.

Manager Bill Says He'll Bet $5,000 Packey Can Do 133 and Wants Him for The Champion on July 4.

Willie Ritchie and Billy Nolan, looking every bit like a champion and a (yiinmplon's manager, were diairond beltcked visitors in our city yesterdy. Willie went to the theater last night to see some rival actors perforin, while Mr. Nolan sat around and discoused In learned fashion on the boxing situation in general. Bill is some .shrewd party and what he does not know about the fight game would not fill a small pamphlet. . Nolan made the astonishing state

ment that Packey McFarland was the.

man he longed most to send ttuenie against when Willie returns to the ring to defend his champoinship about the next Fourth of July. Nolan is one man who says Packey McFarland is a real lightweight when he is forced to make weight. In fact, he offers to bet $5,000 that Packey can do 133 pounds as nicely as anybody, and be right when he gets into the ring for action. Here are some of the things Mr. NoIan had Ho say. "Packey McFarland is the boy I want first for Ritchie. I want him first, because he will be the biggest drawing card we can get. and, of course, no one

figures that Ritchie and I are not out for all the money we can make. If they do they are crazy. "Now, Packey McFarland can do 1S3 pounds. I know that. The only trou

ble with Packey is that he is a lasy trainer and will not make weight unless forced to do it. I'll force him to do that very thing 133 for' Ritchie and he'll be glad - to get the chance. Just mark that down as a little prophecy on the part of Billy Nolan. "I talked to Thlry and McFarland when they were showing in Kansas City last week, and I told them they could have the match all right. I guess they are going to grab us up, too. "What is more, Willie Ritchie can

lick Packey at any old weight. But he won the title at 183 pounds ringside and that Is the notch he is going to defend it a-t For McFarland I might make the -weighing time a few hours- before just to get him Into the ring. McFarland and Ritchie will draw a mint of money and that la the match we want. I am out good and hard to get It, too. "You know I saw Packey fight H&r-

San Francisco. Cal., Feb. 10. Before

the Tommy Murphy-Joe Mandot match

came to grief, the birthday matches which were to be held here and at Los Angeles were about on a par from a

standpoint of Interest and Importance,

Now that Ad Wolgast has taken

Mandot's place in the Daly City pro

gram, the local match overshadows the southern bout between Joe Rivera and New York Knockout Brown, for while

Rivers stands as high in the estlma

tlon of the Los Angeles sports as Wol

gast does, he Is not as great a celebrity In the eyes of the world. To prove this, ask any promoter how much he would

offer Rivers for a contest. Then ascertain the price the same promoter would

place on Wolgast's services.

What keeps Wolgast in good stand

ing with the sporting masses is the fact that he lost his championship merely through an infraction of fair play rules. Over and over again the writer has heard the comment, "Wol

gast deserved all he got, but I wonder

what would have happened If he had

not committed that foul."

And, springing from this doubt is the ever-present desire to see Wolgast in

action. The public does not turn Its

back upon a champion who has shown

himself to be a champion until he has been beaten down In uch"a manner as

to make it conclusive that a better

man has arisen.

Wolgast, I see, has given out that

he expects to defeat Murphy well with

In the twenty-round limit. This carries no guarantee, of course, but it

goes it goes to show that the Michigan

wildcat is as self-reliant as ever.
