NKW YORK, March . The national
championship committee of the Amateur
Atbtetio union has decided to hold the

ter part ot March and to ipllt the Hat

plying for sanctions, placing the datss

ently apart to allow all candidate to
1 train especially for each. Alio, In order
to minimise the traveling and other ex
penses of the organisations, which will
be represented, an effort will be made
1 to allot the events In the districts Ukely
to furnish the greater number of con
testants. It seems probable therefore, that the
MO-yard swtra and fancy diving event
will be awarded to New York; the sprint,
back stroke and breast stroke to Chicago',
the plunge, furlong swim, and relay
race to other cities. No water polo
tournament will take place, for the
American game has been abolished and
forbidden, and, the authorities don't be
lieve soccer has developed enough ex
pert players to warrant their competing
for the national pennant.
Presents Are Good.
Prospects are bright this season for
large fields and sterling performance tn
the fights tor supremacy, and the local
championships have given a pretty fair
Idea of where, honors will land. A. C
Ralthel of the Illinois Athletic olub has

M'FARLAND AINS DECISION
Jack Britton Outpointed by Packey
in Madison Square.
NEITHER MAN MUCH DAMAGED
FootTTork Unable Victor tn Cnnse
Britton to Miss Often Lust
Ilonnd 1. Aivnrded to
llrltton.
NEW YORK, March 8.-Paekey Mo
Farland outpointed Jack Britton In ten
rounds of a fairly rapid and clever fight
at Madison Square garden tonight. While
McFarland had the better of the argu
ment as a whole, Brmor. maae the better
showing in the final round.
Neither of the two Chicago lightweights
whoso long talked of match has excited
such Interest, came up to the expectation!
of those who have been anxiously looking
for a meeting between them. Packey
showed that he was the cleverer boxer,
but Britton proved that lie is the hardest
hitter.
Packey's nose was bleeali in the last
two rounds and his left eye was slightly
marked as he left the ring.
Britton did not show any marks of his
encounter, other than a small scratch
over the bridge of his nose.
The men weighed in Under .the stlpu.
latod 337 pounds at 3 o'clock this after,
noon but Just beforo they entered the
ring they were weighed again. Britton
turned the scale at 13514 and McFarland
at 140 pounds. t
The first round was fairly even, but'
Britton had the call In the second,, during .
which Referee Joh cautioned McFarland'
for holding.- Packey'. footwork enabled
him to make Britton to miss froquenti)
In the third session and he Jarred Jack
with a right swing to the head, which
turned Britton half way round. Britton
reached Packey's face and body in the
next round, bu ta right cross from Packey
staggered him.
The next three rounds were McFar
land's on points and the eighth also went
to his credit, although his face and body
had been found frequently by Brltton's
blows. A short hook In the ninth raised
a lump on Packey's left cheekbone and1
three left Jabs brought the blood ffom
McFarland' s nose. Packey swung a right
to the head In the ninth, but accepted
much more than he delivered In this
round, which was Brltton's by a good
margin.
Both men made extra efforts In the final
round, at the start of which McFarland
pushed Britton down on the ropes. Jack
was up quickly and drew the blood again
from Packey's nose with left Jabs and
two good rights to the head. Packey
hooked a hard lert to the face, but
Britton sent back left and right to the
body In a fast rally. He was doing most
ot the work at the1 final clang of the bell.
Tho round was hlsbut the honors of the
bout went tq McFarland-
