WISCONSIN FANS WANT PAGKEY M'FARLAND

BARRED

Boxing Commission Likely to Forbid His Appearance in Badger State for Six Months.

Milwaukee, Wis.. Dec. 10. Fackey McFarland may be barred from Wisconsin rings for six months when the state boxing commission meets shortly. Supreme disgust is the only thing that characterises the feelings of the fans here and the pressure Is so great that the state body will undoubtedly be forced to take some action. McFarland's disregard of the rules under which the sport lives In this state was so flagrant before the Britton fight that the commission is split over his case and it is said authoritatively that his suspension will be ordered in a few days. Chairman Llginer is being freely criticised for his leniency in permitting McFarland to weigh in private for him and later announcing that the poundage had been "satisfactory." It looked like a huge concessions to save the promoters money and seems to be the first step in tearing down the stringent rulings under which the game must survive.

It was the first time in the history of the new law that the exact weights of wlndup fighters were not announced

when the men were introduced in the ring? The fans are incensed. They

feel that boxing has been done a great Injury and blame the chairman of the

commission for it. as well as McFar

land.

Not only Pnckey's refusal to have

his weight made known has angered

the people who paid to see the affair,

His exhibition in the ring was so mediocre that it seems hardly neces

sary to bar him.

It is doubtful if a Milwaukee pro

moter will be intrepid enough to bill

McFarland within many months to come. Such a fight wouldn't pay hall expenses. But the fans demand his disbarment, principally because it may knock him out of several New York fights. The Wisconsin and New Tork boxing commissions are supposed to have an understanding which will make a dlsbrffment effective in both states.

FOUR YEAR TERM FORI L. LEADER

Cleveland, O., Dec. 10. Featherweight Champion Johnnie Kilbane of -.his city, who is fighting a $25,000

alienation suit brought by his stepmother, Mrs. Bridget Kilbane, was himself the recipient of her bounty years ago, she declared today in pleading her suit. ' ; Johnnie Kilbane in his answer to the action, which is based upon the chargo that the fighter influenced his father against the plaintiff, contended ' that Mrs. Kilbane did not provide for her aged husband, who is blind and helpless, and that he was obliged to do so and for that reason gave him a home. "The statement of Johnny Kilbane, that I neglected my husband so that he had to take care of the old man is not true," Mrs. Kilbane contended today In court. "I have taken boarders for several years to make money to support him. Not only have I done my duty to my husband, but years ago I helped to support Johnny himself."

WILLIAMS IS ANGRY. Minneapolis, Minn.. Dec. 10. In an 'address at a banquet given by the Minneapolis Athletic and Boat club last night In honor of the University of Minnesota football team Dr. H. K Williams, coach of the Minnesota football warriors, protested against the proposed Chicago-Harvard game. "If Minnesota Is barred from playing Michigan there is no possible reason why Chicago should be allowed to play Harvard or any other of the big non-conference teams," he declared.

ATHLETICS BIG THING AT YALE - New Haven, Conn., Dec. 10. Participation in athletic activities at Tale is not confined to the comparatively few Men who make up the big varsity-

New Tork. Dec. 10. John Kinley Tener, governor of Pennsylvania, was

unanimously elected president of the

National league for a four-year term at

its meeting yesterday. Governor Tener was notified by wire of his election

and will arrive here this morning. At noon the club owners will reconvene at

the Waldorf In open meeting and Gov

ernor Tener will formally take his new office. Then the magnates will close the doors and proceed to conduct busi

ness with the new president in the

chair.

The league men went in session 7es-

terday at 2 o'clock, the clubs being represented as follows: New Tork, H. N. Hempstead, N. Ashley Lloyd, Cornelius J. Sullivan and John 11. Foster; Brooklyn, C. II. Ebbets, S. W. McKeever, E. J.

Britton.

President Harry Pratt Judson o the University of Chicago took a hand in

the negotiations for a 1914 MaroonHarvard football game yesterday, when he called a meeting of the board of physical culture and athletics for this afternoon to consider the proposed bat-, tie. The action of the university head In insuring quick action and favorable opinions expressed by faculty members sent the prospects for the lntersectional contest higher than they have been, since the Crimson offered Coach Stags a date lsmt week. The board members will bo expected to discuss all the reasons for and against the game that have been flying

about the campus for the last three days, and it is likely that a definite

vote will be taken. In case President

Judson receives a strong recommenda

tion in favor of the game from Coach

Stagg this morning It Is thought the

director's advice will be followed, as it is the Maroon policy to give Coach Stagg free sway in the matter of the

schedule.

If no further word is received from

Coach Stagg, the board will either settle the case a3 It sees fit or wire the

director for his opinion. It is felt at

the Midway that Coach Stagg wants the game, but the only word received

from him so fsr has been his message

with the information that Harvard had offered the date of October 31 for a meeting at Cambridge.

The Maroon authorities cheered the students yesterday by declaring that

Harvard had not definitely refused to

come to Chicago in 1915. With this phase of the matter still uncertain, the board may decide to ask Harvard for information and postpone final action. Coach Stagg may have a chance to talk with the board members personally before the final action Is taken, as he is expected home from Plnehurst some time next week. He told his friends when he left for North Carolina that he intended to be back by December 18, and it is thought that he will not extend his vacation if he thinks his schedule plans are likely to suffer.

Notre Dame, Ind., Dec. 10. "Deac"

Jones, tackle of the wotre Dame eiev

en, was elected captain for 1914 at the"

annual football banquet held at the

Oliver house last night. The honor

comes as a reward for two years of

great work on the team. Eighteen men received monograms. The banquet was

the final event for the Notre Dame team of 1913.

Twenty-five men reported today for

the first track practice of the season.

Among the number were Captain Hanlhan. Plank. Birder, Miller, Bascolupo, Bergman. Rockne and Miller of the 1913 team. Coach Harper Intends to push track work this year and will put the men through hard workouts dally from now on. Although several men of last year's team, Wasson, Brtchard, Bensbeerg and Lacquana, did not return, there Is some good new material and a strong team will be developed. The Notre Dame basket ball squad is hard at work preparing for the game "with Lewis institute next Saturday. Coach Harper is rapidly rounding out a crack fighting machine.

JOE TINKER'S future seems to be definitely settled. At latest accounts it had been finally arranged for him to Join the Cubs, Giants, Quakers, Braves, Brooklyns, Cardinals, Pirates, Red Sox, White Sox, Tigers, Senators, Browns Naps Highlanders. Athletics, Federals. Every loyal fan will be delighted to know that Joe landed so quickly and in such a satisfactory position. AS THE slx-day bicycle grind at Madison Square Garden completes the half-way mark, as a means of keeping up interest, predictions are forthcom

ing regarding the future plans of th

riders. One thing is certain, however, Bobby Walthour, the southern wonder.

will not return to Europe as has been

reported. He has had thirteen years of success abroad and will confine his efforts to this country in future. It is always difficult to say what an athlete has, from the mazuma standpoint, but those who know Bobby say hat he has not been letting his earnings filter through his fingers and his nest is pretty well feathered against stormy weather. IF WAR is declared on Mexico, President Wilson may count on the hearty co-operation of St. Louis fans, who are ready to arm and equip a company consisting of players on their two teams and send them to the front where the fighting Is hottest.
