BRIMS MANAGER OBJECTS TO REFEREE ll'l PACKEY BOUT
New York, March 5. Danny Morgan is on the stump declaiming against Billy Joh acting as referee In the bout between Packey McFarland and Jack Brltton at Madison Square Garden Friday night. Daniel claims that as Joh refereed In all the exhibitions which McFarland gave in this burg the official Is apt to favor Packey if It -comes to a fine point. , Our Idea of nothing to kick about is over a referee In the case of two boys who are nothing but clever. Billy Joh could favor McFarland as much as a gallery god watching the performance. If the managers of the two battlers cannot come to an agreement the boxing commission will be asked to select a" ref eree, a" request which they will
probably turn down. Instead of bfllowing over the referee Morgan should be delighted that McFarland has condescended to meet Brltton. McFarland has nothing to gain puglllstlcally speaking, while Brltton has a chance of getting a reputation. Of course it all may be bunk, so don't get too excited. McFarland was busy at the North Haven A. C, yesterday, boxing with Willie Schaefer, besides going through a lot of exercises. Emil Thlry said that nearly 700 Chicagoar s will be here to' see the bout. Two hundred will leave there on a special train at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning. '..
ment that he will play first base when the season opens.. He said he thought it easier for a manager on the tiring line to call on his men to "come on" than to sit on the bench and say" go on." Chance is anxious to have Chase take the keystone of the Infield and In practice work he is declared to be making wonderful plays at that post. If Chase is kept at second base, he will be the first left-handed second baseman the major leagues kave seen for many years.
BOXING BILL RECEIVES JOLT Madison, Ais.. March 6. "The title to this bill should be changed to A school for plug-uglies and for teaching
j brutality.' " , In this manner Police I' Chief John ,T. Janssen of Milwaukee characterized, the Hedding boxing bill , in the hearing before the senate com
mittee this afternoon.
"If conducted within the law these
bouts would not be attended by a corporal's guard, but the patrons want to
ee a fighter take a lunge' at his oppo
nent and see a man sent to 'dream
land.' -
"It Is a disgrace to the state to pass
a law like this and make our state the
mecca for all the degraded fighters In i
the union. Baseball and football cannot be mentioned in the same breath."
HAHO! PRO. LOSES GOLF MATCH
Nelson L. Buck and "Chick" Evans played J. H. Patrick and Eddie Garre, the Hammond golf instructor, over the Beverly course at the C. A. A. yesterday. Messrs. Buck and Evans were the fortunate winners. The former holed several of those difficult fifteen-foot putts.

delphia should finish no worse than fifth in the National league pennant race. Charlie Dooin has slowed up a great deal the last two years as the result of injuries, but he is still a capable backstop. Killifer is one of the best young catchers since the advent of Archer. He is heady, aggressive and a fairly good hitter. Alexander, Rixey, Chalmers, Seaton, Brennan and Moore, if In proper shape.
should hold their own with most any
staff of twlrlers in organized baseball. Luderus at first is a pretty fair bat
ter. That lets him out. Otto Knabe
is the kind of player that makes a
champion. He is only a fair batter.
but strong in all else and .aggressive
Lobert is as good a third baseman as can be found in the. league, but it is questionable If his leg will ever fully recover. Doolan, at short, is a whirl
wind in the field, though only a fair
' hitter and base runner.
RITCHIE WANTS $20,000 FOR SCRAP Cincinnati, O., March B. "Packey McFarland can have a match s.ny time he makes the same weight he agreed to do for Ad -. Wolgast in Milwaukee, some time ago, 133 pounds ats 8 o'clock," said Billy Nolan, manager' of Willie Ritchie, the lightweight champion, who Is appearing at a local theater this week. This statement was made today in answer to one made by McFarland in New York, announcing that he Intended . to retire from the ring, but not before beating Ritchie and Jack Britjton."I received a telegram from San Francisco late last night offering Ritchie $16,000 for a fight with either McFarland. Rivers or Wolgast for July ," said Nolan. "I declined the offer, as we will accept nothing less than $20,000 for Ritchie's end." BOXERS HAVE STREET FIGHT
Philadelphia, Pa., March 6. Two thousand persons saw a spirited fight
today and didn't have to give up a cent. The principals were "Pat" Bradley, the well-known lightweight, and "Bobby" Reynolds, the featherweight.
and for one hour and twenty minutes the pair exchanged fierce blows with
their bare knuckles on the street -While Bradley " had more than fit
teen pounds on Reynolds, the latter
showed unflinching courage -and plied
bis naked fists with vigor on Pat's
face. It wasn't long before Bradley
shewed' the marks of the battle, but he
kept on until both his eyes were closed and he had to go to a hospital for treatment.' Harry Edwards is going to match them for a ring bout.
JUDGE RULES
AGAINST "PUGS" - Milwaukee, Wis., March 6. District Court Judge Neele B. Neelen today decided against the boxing promoters in the test case involving Joe Welling of Chicago and Jack Redmond of Milwaukee, who engaged in a ten round bout here on Jan. 17. The men were bound over for trial to the municipal court. The court held that the fact the announcer said that some other boxer was ready to meet the winner made the event a prize fight. The Judge further said that no decision ought to be rendered until the state legislature has made disposition of the pending bill providing for a boxing commission.

after Tom Jones arrived here this morning from Los Angeles he had affixed his signature to articles that clinch a return battle between Ad
Wolgast and "Harlem Tommy" Murphy

froth and probably will be held in San Francisco, where Coffroth holds the April permit. Though the date of the
fight has not been definitely settled. It wil ltake -place either on April IS or

CHANCE TO PLAY JTIRST BASE New York, March 6. Frank Chance will play first base and Chase second, according to what is described as official information today from the New York American : league club's training quarters, in Bermuda. Ever since Chance signed as manager there has been speculation as to whether he would be a bench manager or a playing manager, and also gossip as to which Hal Chase, the former manager, would take. - Chance, having- become convinced that . his legs will stand the pace, is credited , with the definite announce-

Tommy Sheehan has ducked out of a match with Billy Walters George Dugdale announced last night that everything was set for a row between the sailor and Tommy at Gary on March 17, but that Sheehan found that he could not keep his engagement. Frankle Lynn, the north side boy, has been substituted and says he wilt give Walters all he can handle for ten rounds.

Forkins explains that McGoorty was far from
j being on edge for his quarrel with Gus
Christie at Fond du Lac the other night, but vers that Eddie won handi
