Packty McFarland, Chicago lightweight
pugilist, appeared before the. Flambeau
Athletic club last night, hot in the role
of a clever boxer, but as that or a
statesman. Packey made a beautiful
speech In which he challenged fiherlff
McBhane to appear against him In the
ring and commented on the beautiful
weather Omaha li having.
Frankle Whitney, challenger for the
lightweight champlomhlp, uleo mada a.
neat little speech and Innamuch aa he ap
peared pn a percentage bails lie nuked
that the kindly gathering donate gener
ously to the hat which Matchmaker
Krauie was passing among the, crowd.
To enforce the laws of Nebraska to the
letter a largo percentage of the Omaha
pollen forco were out In numbers, with
their stars nicely shlnrd and acted real
nlco when they saw auch harmless games
as burlesque wrestling and so-called real
grappling. Oh, yes, Sheriff McShane was
on hand, aa were several of his deputies.
Tho entire affair had the appearance of
one of Charlie Franke'a cute little bur
lesque shows.
Mayor Cahlman also waded deep Into
the hearts of the fistic fans by announcing-
that an entertainment where the skill
of man Is shown should not be Interfered
with. Much applause.
"Were It In my power,"' said Illztoner,
"you could pull this or any other show
off because I am with you and for you
at all times." Prolonged applause from
the fighters and Krause.
To be sure the hat was passed and was
the big feature of the evening to Krause
and "Whitney. The "Teddy nrothers"
who became famous at the Ak-Bar-Ben
how this summer mads a hit and several
challenges were thrown back and forth
by fighters who want to meet In Omaha,
In the sweet bye and bye.
MING WEIGHTS REVISED
(Continued from Page One.)
tho new roles with Emll Thlry. manager
of Packey McFarland. "Of courso. there
Is some possibility of the revised scale
becoming universal, but it doesn't lis
within the power of any commission to
declare tho limit at which a champion
must scale when defending his title.
"We frequently hear of champions tak
ing on good boys In short-distance bouts
without Insisting upon the class limit,
but any time a champion signs with a
worthy contender for a true title fight
you'll observe he makes the term read
ringside and usually at the mark he regis
tered when he came Into possession of
the honors.
"Can you Imagine Willie IUtchle, who
won the lightweight crown at 133 pounds
ringside, risking his championship by
tackling any of the present crop of
heavy lightweights, or boys who Insist
they come under that classification,
though In reality their lowsst notch
might be 133 pounds Ut S o'clock? Kll
bane came In at 122 pounds ringside when
he won the featherweight title and 1 In
ulrted upon that mark. Kllbane is now
making Johnny Dundee come in at 18
ringside fqr their championship bout on
the coast next April."
One nemnlnlnir Hope
"Ringside weight should be abolished,"
chimed In Thlry, who ha been through
the mill for several years, and says h
is qualified to discuss this branch of the
art pugilistic. "I'm dead set against the
compelling of boxers to weigh in a few
moments before the bell sends them on
their way Any number of cases can be
rlted where this sort of sealing has been
injurious to clever boys.
"For Instance, 1 recall the ouse of 'One
Hound' Hogan, tbe 'Frisco plumber
lightweight, who was starved for thlrty
slx hours in order that he could make tbe
333 ringside prestrtbed by Ad Wolgast.
3Iogan. never had a chance to show
within SO per cent of his true ability, he
waa that weakened."
Of course, there remains one avenue
of hope for the "classiest boxers, and
they will be permitted, as of yore, to
come into the ring at catchweights.
Thfrty did not state at what weight
McFarland would meet Jack Drltton In
the match arranged for these crack
battlers when they appear in New York,
i'obruiry 7.
Msrty Forklns, manager of Eddie
McQoorty. the recognized middleweight
champion, said the 168 ringside notch to
govarn middle weights would practically
hatter any claims on the title now being
made by Billy Papke. McQoorty can make
the limit, says Forklns, aa witness Eddie's
performances when he clashed with Mike
Otbbons, In the same break the man be
hind the Oshkosh whale asserts the
. t, n ,r -. '-re
notch will prove an utter Impossibility
for the Knwsnee Thunderbolt.
Tom Andrews of Milwaukee, the lead
ing sporting authority of the middle west,
had the following to say about -the weight
scale:
"Talking of weight changes, as estab
llshod by the New York commission,
recalls to mind the light heavyweight
class, which was brought Inlo the lime,
light by Lou Housenfan of Chicago, some
years ago when he had Jack Hoot to
the front. Jack was a bit too light for
ft heavyweight possibility so Lou estab
lished the new class at 176 pounds and
under, and he billed the first match for
the title, July 4, 1903. at Fort Erie. In
Canada, across from Buffalo. Gardner
scored a knockout In the twelfth round
and won the title, afterward losing It to
Hob Fltsslmmons. Jack O'Brien had a
crack at It and Tommy Burns won It later
and In fact waa never beaten for It,
but since Ms retirement the past year
the title would naturally go to Jim Flynn
the Pueblo fireman, who beat all the
men he mot around that weight the past
year and a half, However, Jim haa taken
on weight and ho tuny not be able to
get down to 173 now, which would leave
the title open for some of the lighter
mm to battle for. The lightweight and
featherweight champions howl murder It
they are asked to give away a pound or
two so why should men weighing between
MS nnd 175 meet fighters over the 20rt
mark? When Tommy Hums fought Jack
Johnson In Australia he weighed only 16!
pounds, according to a statement given
mn by W. F. Corbett. the sporting
authority of that country, who weighed
him the morning of the fight. As Johnson
scaled at Sid there was a dlffferelico of
nearly fifty pounds between the two men,
with height and roach also In favor of
the colored man, so Is It any wonder
Johnson won. If there had been a rule.
such as the New York commission han
suggested that of barring fights between
men where one has ten pounds the better
of the other. In classes below the 173
noundmark, and limiting the difference
above that weight to a reasonable pound
age, the chances are Tommy .Burns would
never have lost tile tltlo to the colored
man. It was certainly a one-sided match,
according to weights, and It Is Just such
mistakes that the boxing authorttlea in
the various countries are now trying to
correct.
"It Is to be regretted that the Now
York Poking Commission did not change
the weight In the middleweight division
while they were revising the scale of
weights. Had they made the weight 160
pounds, Instead of 1W ringside, aa at
present, It would have conformed with
approval, and would have conformed with
most of tho foreign countries aa regards
that class. It would also have made It
easy to select a world's champion. 1 Tow
ever, the arguments and battles which
have been waged for the past two yeara
by claimants of the title left vacant by
the late Stanley Ketchel, are nearlng the
end. and It Is likely that a champion will
be developed within tho next six or
eight months. All the foreign boxing
authorities recognise the weight for
mlddleweights at 160 pounds, weighing
In at 3 o'clock, while the Ainorlcan limit
Is still, left at 1M ringside weighing.
Two Boxing Champs
Land at New York
krw TOitK. Jan. IS. Two new boxing
champions, the Utle holders of France and
Italy, have arrived In New or. iney
Monsieur Ducaste. who holds the
premlrr honor In the land of tho tri
color, and Monsieur Jeannlot, who halls
from the country made famous by
Spaghetti and the fleet-footed Dorando.
These two top-notchera expect to startle
the talont here and carry off many a
victor', and they are going to do 't
without putting on a boxing glove. They
ore not bare kunckle fighters.
Ducasse and Jeannlot have literally
"kicked" their way Into fame and fortune
for they are past masters In the famous,
honorable and ancient art of La Savottc.
Thla Is the science of "boxing with the
feet," and from a spectacular standpoint
It has fist fighting, or boxing, shaded
down to a whisper.
This are has never beeii demonstrated
here and these title holders of France
and Italy are going to show thq American
ljubltc just how It ts possible to sub
stitute a gtntle tap with the toe into the
midsection for the Fltsslmmons solar
Dlexus and a 'ran on the law with tho
heel for a right-hand swing to that
delicate point of attack. They stand
ready also to demonstrate the absolute
helplessness of the ordinary boxer when
pitted against a Bavette expert.

A remarkable fact about the ten-mile
champion Is that he never drinks water.
This at first seems unworthy of bollof,
for every athletic trainer will tell you
that water Is a moBt Important part of
th athlete's diet. Still, Smith gives his

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. lS.-Yale
.going to adopt a new system In foot
ball, us In rowing, this year, according
to the dedslon of the meeting of cap
tains and coaches, held a short time
since. The Inability of the team to make
a much better showing than the crew
was the cause of tho meeting, and the
situation was threshed out, and four plan?
were talked over at length. It was sug
gested that tho present system be con
tinued, with some member of, the team
aa head coach for Captain Ketcham, but
this did not meet with favor. Another
suggestion was that a head coach, with
salary, be appointed to have full charg
of tho squad. Another wa that Wnltev
Camp be appointed head coach, with a
field coach to assist him; but these woic
also opposed, so It was flnauy a. '.
to choose an advisory committee to plat
the campaign, and Captain Ketcham wll
appoint flvo graduates to 'act with him
In the selection of a coach. Ketcham
has already appointed Walter Camp"- ah
a member of tho committee, and will
announco the other members Bhortly.
According to Captain Ketcham, the
committee Is likely to agree upon the
appointment of a head coach on a 'salary
who cannot, however, be engaged foi
more than one year under the new ath
letic constitution. This coach will be u
man who has been out of college at
least six or seven years.
