Expected r- to Whip Keyes as He Might Have i Murphy, but Such a Hollow Vic tory Was Not Anticipated. YOUNG LOUGHREY NEXT TO "FACE WESTERN YOUNGSTER Eastern Critics in the Main Concede -'Chicago Lad's Prowess, Though Territorial Prejudices Crop Out hin Some Cases.

1 BY CHARLES CAR ME. True to ibe predictions ot every boxing critic and moat of the fans in the West. Packey McFarland lias taken the East by storm. His first -battle, that with Bert Keyes at Boston Tuesday night, showed the 19-year-old product of the stock yards even a greater lighter, -than his nearest friends blieved him to be. They were confident -the curly head would.

defeat the rugged Keyes, Just as they would have been had Tommy Murphy been his opponent, but they are willing to acknowledge they never-eav- pected so one sided a victory. Keyes Is undeniably as good a lightweight as there is in the aside from the old master and champion, Joe Cans. Bert had demonstrated his worth In recent fights with Murphy. Matty Baldwin, and the English man, Johnny Summers. The latter he dogged mercilessly, while he held Baldwin even and secured a draw with Murphy at the end of a bout replete with knockdowns on both bides.

Furthermore, Keyes was the choice of the Armory Athletic club after Murphy bad flunked, though the' services of Baldwin, Loughrey, McCarry, Erne, or any of ths other Eastern cracks in the lightweight class were available. Bert was supposed to possess every essential In the make-up of a first cliss fighter cleverness, tremen-' tfous hitting ability, courage, strength, and speed but In only one particular did he excel Tuesday night, and that was in the matter of assimilating punishment. He was a shine compared with McFarland and. ac-' cording to the ringside dispatches, never landed a damaging punch on the Chicago laJ, during the entire contest of twelve rounds. Boat Crltte la AmiiIic.

It Is Interesting to note. that. In the ma Jcrlty of cases, the Eastern scribes, doubtless unable to find any flaws In McFarland's fighting repertoire, are willing to concede that be is a great fighter, a comer to a certainty, and a likely successor to Gans. One Boston critic, however, expresses himself In the following amusing terms: "McFarland, though be-whipped Keyes decisively, has not shown the East. any thing.

We are still In the dark as to bis true ability. as Keyes was no match for him. and ap- parently the Chicago boy did not have to extend himself to win." Of course, the logic In the above assertion Is not apparent. If Keyes Is one of the very best men of his weight In the East, and Packey -Is able-to make him resemble a novice, then surely thU Is proof positive Packer's ability and class. But it was ever thus with a certain type of Eastern critic, whether bis criticisms apply to fight-' lng or other -forms of sport.

This type is known aa the "sore' head" variety, and It simply breaks bis heart to admit that any-' thing that balls from the West esn be tu. rior to tbat of the East, or even equal It In When the Weft's great 3-year-old thoroughbred, Tbe won the American Derby in IMS he was called a selling plater by the Eastern critics until he went East and ran tbe legs off Africander, then the pride of the metropolitan tracks. 'After the rsce it said Africander was lame. When Mc-' Chetney, the Western handicap hero, a few days later took the great Hermla iato camp poor-Hermis wss also said to be lame. The peerleis Imp and many other great Western horses were equally unfortunate In gaining recognition until they bad swept all before tbem.

l'(itrn Feree Reeoaraltloa. Last year, by way of variation. Calvin Dcmarest, scarcely out of. his teens, went into the camp of the Eastern enemy and carried off the national amateur billiard cham- plonship from the holder, Edward Gardner, besides beating the faint hearted Po'ggenburg and other celebrated New York cue handlers. And now young McFsrland, a mere kid, with only two years' actual ring experience.

Invades the elassic domain of flghtdom and wallops one of its best men Into oblivion. -In McFarland's case, the "tore bead" critic Is decidedly in the minority, and. while taking a greatly warranted slam at him. it mlght.be only fair to tender a good word to those less prejudiced critics In tbe Estt that know a good, thing when Ihey see one and are ready at all times Jo place credit where It belongs. Here la an extract from 'the story of one of the best newspaper Judges pugilism In dear old Gotham, which may prove; of A' ttr, 1 all there Is to It when yon rea)l to thin the McFarland-Heyes nsht In Boston the, other nirbt.

He Jumped In and took i ommy jnurpny piacs ininxini ne naa a sort one. He flsured that his punch and the strength behind It were what would win for him. but Bert like Elll Squire, went bunting for a mole an I found a mastodon. Of course, it puts Keyes out of the running as a championship possibility, but he Is liable te have pieriiy 01 -company it noons up with a few more Easterners before he goes West. next appearance irr the East will be against Young Lough re to the ring "of the National Sporting club of Philadelphia on the night of Jan.

29. Packey has been- guaranteed more money for his end by Jack McGulgan to meet Loughrey than the amount Battling Nelson received when be boxed Terry McGovern In Philadelphia. With th Matty Baldwin match later at Boston, and a likelihood that he will also mret Young Erne and the. Englishman. Johnny Summers, before be quits the East, It-can.

be readily seen where Packey and Gllmore will clean up a small fortune on their trip. At tbe close of their campaign they will hie themselves to California after -the scalp of Nelson, If the San Francisco promoters succeed In securing the Dane's signature to a set of articles. Ioaarbrer la Raahtaar Battler. rackey will find Longhrey a tough, ag-; gresslve young fellow, full of ginger and ambition, and a good walloper who keeps coming in for more, like Nelson and Papke, bead down, and swinging both arms Ilk flails. This method of milling, as employed by tbe Eastern lightweight, has gained him no than three draws with Tommy Mur- phy Id recent bouts, and In at least two of these melees he is credited with having shsded Murphy.

His Isst bout wss with Young Erne, who had knocked out Joe Gal-. Ilgan a few nights previously snd was fighting In sensational style. Erne could do little with the rushing kid, and came out of the six round engagement slightly the worse for wear. It was this showing of Lough- rey's that gave him the call for a match with McFarland, which be has surely earned. however, has nothing more to fesr In Loughrey than be bad In Keyes, and the "mixer" will probably suffer the sknie annihilation at Philadelphia as did bis Eastern brother at These rushers simply play Into tbe band of tbe stock yards demon, who has yet to meet a man In bis class tbat can stand1 toe to toe with him and swap punches.

-to aay nothing of bis superiority at long rangeVboxing, clever blocking, and rapid footwork. Gans and Nelson, both growing weary of the notoriety attained by McFarland. are again in the limelight, Monday night at Ogden, Utah, Bat came to life unexpectedly and put Jack Clifford off watch with a clean knock-out la the fifth round of scheduled twenty round contest. A straight right to Clifford's at a time when Jack waa apparently more than holding bia own, ended the fight, thus Impairing the general Im pression tbat the Dane was all. la and on tbe down grade physically.

Nelson will meet Kid Scaler at Los Angeles in a ten round bout on Jan. 18. and later tbe Boer. Rudolph Unhols. also In tbe City of Angeles.

Bat declares be will whip both of the latter men and then be ready for McFarland, Britt, or even Gans. Lovely contract. Uais Tires of IsUe Life. Gans' announcement- at New York tbat be would re-enter tbe ring did not come as a surprise by any means, and failed to startle the fana. The champion's alleged retirement was never- taken aeriously in view of the fact that be Is still head and shoulders above any man In the lightweight divialon.

not excepting McFarland. and. that there Is more money to be msde In the roped arena than In the hotel business in Baltimore. Old Joe has issued a defl to meet both McFarland and Murphy, the bouts to take place within two weeks of escb other, but It is safe to say that be will be given no sucb opportunity. Packey modestly admits tbe black warrior's class, and makes hosts of friends by so doing.

He ssys, "Wait a year, Joey." while Murphy could not be drawn Into a tea acre field with the Fred Welch, the Englishman, made quite a bit at Milwaukee Friday night by his clever victory over Maurice Bayers. The Briton Is said to be -as fast as chain lightning, but, like many of his lacks the punch of the 'leading American fighters. Bayers' mild Jabs hurt bim naught and he was able to make a great showing. Kelly and Papke Articles for A nother Contest Hugo Kelly and Bill Papke have signed srticles to meet In a rtnrn match at Milwaukee during the latter part of February. The Milwaukee Boxing club baa secured the match, which will be held la the Hippodrome building and wiU be a tea-round affair aa before.

The fighters will receive 60 per cent of tbe receipts, which is a JO per cent' raise over that which they drew from the Badger club in their last match.1 The date for their return contest has not been positively agreed upon, but It will be either on the 17th, the 19th, or -the 20th, The weight will be 108, ringside.1 Papke boxes Walter Stanton at Boston and manager, T. E. Jones, would not agree to the date for the Kelly match until the result of tbe Boston -lout Is known. His precaution Is due to tbe fear of an Injury to his protege, whom ba wanta in first-class shape for Kelly. The referee question, has also been left open.

Malachy Hogan was suggested, but Jones would not accept Hogan, as some of Papke's friends think that Malachy should have given Bill the decision In bis recent bout with Kelly.

but they failed to force him to his best effort. These horses merely acted aa trailers and and their part of the struggle consisted in efforts to secure a minor portion of the slake. Jack Atkin tried during the-early stages of tbe race to keep pace with Chapultepec and essayed to make him run fast. Instead of Injuring tbe 3-year-old's chance It hurt his own for second honors. He became leg weary In the final furlong.

Juggler had maintained a steady rate of speed from first to last. He passed Jack Atkin near the winning post. Meanwhile Chapultepec alone, with his head swinging under the bard pull of Jockey. Me-Daniel, raced on to the finish and won by six lengths. Gold.

Mr. Torrey stated that In bia opinion tbe Kent course wss fully capable of handling an event of the importance of the Western champlcn-ship. while Champion Egan stated that the Kent course was one of tbe best-eighteen bole courses In the West, and be was supported In this Idea by Mr. Phelps. The Mlntkahda-Country club of Minneapolis also made application for the amateur event, but its delegates were In reality speaking for the tourney In 1909 or 1910.

According to Connie Mack, the elongat- ed and astute manager of the Philadelphia -Athletic, the American, league race of IMS ia going to be a hummer. To Connie' way of thinking tbe Highland-, era have been strengthened more, than any other team by. the number of trades floating about. He says the addition of Jake Stahl, Kilos; Hemphill, and Glade will work won--ders with Clark Griffith' men. The White Sox, Cleveland, and Detroit to be decided factors in the race.

-modestly retrains from saying what he think tbe Athletics will do. Following are the pithy. remarks of Mr. Cornell usi McGillicuddy: "Since the teams quit tbe field laat October there have been a. number of change which -have tended -to more equSTlse the strength of the different clubs.

The trade be- -tween-the Highlanders and Browns was a good movo for each team; it certainly was a master at rose on tn part of Clarke uru-fith. "In my Judgment, New'. York will be a decided factor In tbe race. The addition of Stahl, Nlles, and Hemphill adds much life and batting strength to tbe team, while the acquisition of Glade give Griffith something for which bo has always been on the outlook a first class pitcher. "New York's weakness always ba been tn tho pitcher' box, -and with Glade and the promising youngsters Griffith has on his staff the Highlanders may at laat have their pennant ambitions realised.

"The talk about Hal Chase leaving the Highlander In the lurch ia all rot. I happened to see the Fan Jose team, on which Chase ha been playing, and speak, by the -card. San Jose couldn't afford to pay Chaso the money he receive from tbe Highlander If all the other on the team worked free. "While New York ba strengthened. other clubs have by no means been Inactive.
