WARD IS OUTCLASSED BY PACKEY M'FARLAND Englishman Looks Cheap Before Speed and Skill of Chicago Whirlwind. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Jack Warad, the English lightweight, was completely outclassed by Packev McFarland in their six round bout before the National Athletic club tonight. The Englishman was apparently bewildered by the Chicago boy's speed and in the second and third rounds he scarcely laid a glove on McFarland.

In the third round in particular McFarland smothered Ward with left jabs and right swings. In the fourth round McFarland struck Ward several times with his open glove and early In the fifth round when he again tried the same tactics the crowd hissed and called for more action. Toward ihe close of the sixth i. McFarland cut loose and drove t.e Englishman across tne ring with right swings, one ot which caused Ward to go to the mat. He was un in an In stant and fought back hard until the bell rang.

It was the consensus of opinion that Ward was completely out classed. All Stara Win. The Y. M. C.

TALKS OF JENNINGS Tim Hurst, base ball umpire and priae nght referee, who has jet to fan out un repartee, arrived In the city yesterday afternoon, and unless he decides to stick around to hear Hugh Jennings in the role of Interlocutor tonight, he will return to New York this morning. He Is visiting friends he made while umpiring here about fifteen years ago. "So Hughey's an interlocutor, huh?" queried Tim last night. "Well, well, well. What d'you think of that? Hughey might bawl me out if I go there, huh? I shoved him out of the game one day when his father had come down to see him play.

Haw, I got even with that boy." Tim was there to talk on most anything from the cause of crime to the recent raise in the but his natural leaning was toward the diamond or the ring. "You know what hurts prisse fighting. It's these felLiwa with bank rolls of $100,000 who want passes. 'If you can spare me a couple you know that kind of stuff. And bartenders are the worst of all.

You kindj of figure a bartender will give your show a boost if you give him a ticket, but not him, boy. They're the limit, why. about the second or the third time you go in their joint they're calling you 'Doc' and 'will you have the I ming you Know, fresh my, my, how fresh they get." Tim became sentimental when Hank was draged into the turmoil. What did he think of Hank O'Day out in Cincinnati, the umpire who has recently been appointed manager of the Reds? Taking off his derby hat, "R'ne the rim with the hand that has doubled up under many a base ball player's nose, said: He Almost Wept. "I feel sorry for Hank."

Heaven knows they did enough to me when I was working around there. Oh, they're tough out in that place." r. 8 Si)effested to Tim that Clarke Griffith, of Washington, doesn't think that Connie Mack will have a cinch on the pennant in the American league this season "Well, if Clarke Griffith is all ron nle Mack has to beat I don't think Mack'll need any bank roll for Spring training." Hurst has an idea a strong idea mm uuck Teeman is going to make good in Scranton. "You know, buddy, Euck had to play uut iyucu jie was piaying right field for Boston, because towards the last he couldn't get around as lively as he once could," said Tim. "When a ball gets over your head it makes you look foolish, and Buck was playing around for those long hits.

I saw mm play first, too, and he plays it iiugiiiy wen. ne can nit. Oh, my yes, Buck can still clout that ball in grand style." Tim is now licensed referee in the state of New York. He saw the At tell Brown bout last week and he says "It was bo, good that I got up and left," He hasn't yet signed tm for a ioh as umpire next season and has not jet maae up nis mind whether he will ever return to the diamond or not.

D00IN ON BUBSCHELL Jim Xagel, who was the southpaw member of the Syracuse pitching staff last season, has been nicked un bv Manager Chance, of the Chicago Cubs and will be given a thorough trial in the Spring training. At the close of the 1910 season Nagel was drafted by the New York Giants, but a year ago he was sent back to the minors bv McGraw with the tag of "too small" on him. McGraw liked everything about Nagel but his physique, and this, he said, would keep him forever out of the major leagues. The fans are now elven a chanee to una out Charles Dooin, manager of the Philadelphia Nationals, who is doing a vaudeville turn in Syracuse this week, has made it clear to the Syracuse sporting writers that they have a prize beauty in Fred Burschell and that if Eurschel can't turn out a winner for the Salty City nobodv can. uoom played with Burschell down in Baltimore several years ago and there became so attached to the south paw that he has promised to help him out this season if he possibly can.

He believes that Btuschell will be just the man to ueveiop nis untrained pitch ers. niS irioute to Burschell follows: Burschell is a pitcher of keen judg ment, nas a wide 1 nowledge of base Dan as it is played nowadays, and I am of the opinion that he has some rattling good games in him. Even if he doesn't do much pitching his ability to develop young pitchers is suing to count ror a lot. Dooin looks for Chalmers and Alex ander, two State league recruits of 1910, to be among the top notchers of tne pitcners in the National league this season. So pleased is he with Chalmers' work that through his suggestion President Fogel has asked the former Miner to sign a three year contract at the advanced sum offered him for working in 1912.

He has been angling for "Wee Willie" Keeler, although Buck Freeman has been announced as the manager to liaodlo the reins.

Kelly gave the information and later received word from Keele; to the effect that he bad written about the lob. When Coleman decided to let Monto Cross out.

Bill Byers, veteran Oriole catcher, was considered for the b. for themselves which places the right estimate on build i nance or McGraw.
