Packey Grows Rich Fighting Dubs ♦♦♦ r ♦ <*> «> C; ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦;♦♦<» -♦♦<?> ';■ ♦♦*♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ Me Far land Is Foolish Like a Fox Packey McFarland, peerless boxer, is peeved and refuses to ji'-riiiit bis neighbors and friends to see him box—not if they pay for the chance. Packey wants to be a member of the Illinois legislature — a democratic member, as his name Indicates—and to help make laws, although it peevrs him when he is called upon to obey the laws which other legislators formulate. Packey Is a clever boy. He hats climbed the pugilistic ladder to the pinnacle by the effective use of clever hands and feet, ably seconded by the most remarkable matchmaking in pugilism. No one ever accused a McFar land of cowardice—and got away with it. Vet you may search the records and fail to discover where Packey, since he became famous, has fought an opponent over whom he did not have consider able advantage; Time was, and not so long ago, when the friends of the "Idol of the stockyards" claimed the light weight champions would not give McFarland a chance. The "chance" they asked was to let McFarlnnd fight a legitimate lightweight and outweigh him anywhere from five to ten pounds. Some "chance" that! It is a fact that McFarland could not make the lightweight limit —or even weigh 135 pounds ringside—unless one of his legs was sawed off at the knee —and of what use Is a one-legged box er? McFarland has been a welter weight for years, but he has gone along making matches with real lightweights — usually second raters, with an occasional first class boxer thrown in for an ex ceptionally rich purse, and letting the boys in bis own class severely alone. McFarland could do this for two reasons; the first was that promoters were willing because he is so marvelous a boxer. In action he is a phantom slipping ii» and out, boxing with the preci sion of a machine, and the fans are always willing to pay to see him work; the second reason is the willing ness of most boxers to take a chance. He has grown rich at the game. INDOOR MATCH OF RIFLEMEN HIS BEGUN The Tacoma Rifle club began competition last night In" the na tional indoor rifle tournament by shooting against I the Dickinson, S.

CADDY TOURNAMENT IS WON BY YOUG GENIN Turning in a gross score of 99 and a net card of 05, Walter Genin won the caddy champioß , ship of the Tacoma Country and Golf club yesterday. Over SO kids entered in the tournament. A handsome silver trophy was presented Oenin In token of his victory- Oenln's victory was not accom plished with ease. Stanley Fish, scratch man, might have tied him but for a bad putt on the last green. Although Oenln got off to a bad start, he played a good game all the way through, mak ing most of the boles In fours or fives. "PERCY, THE IMPERSONATOR" Geuln is 16 years of age, and lives at Manitou. He attends the Edison school. Quite a number of the caddies showed good form and played re markable golf for younghters< one little fellow, named Neil Christian putting up a splendid game. The only two of the tourna ment was made by Clair Hicker on the 11th hole. He drove the ball from tee to pin on the first stroke and sank it with a short putt. The card turned fn is a record for caddy tournament, the best previous score being 103.

ONE OF BASEBALL'S GREATEST GAMES Which one of all the games played since baseball earned its place in the hearts of the people can be chosen as the greatest of all time? It would be an almost lmpossi- : ble task to name the greatest game, but baseball is dotted here I and there with high lights which ] stand out from the dull drab ; monotone of the ordinary mark ing the greatest games, and it is our purpose to tell the readers . of t'e Times. : One of these was the 17-inning tie of the Athletics and Tigers September 30, l}o7. Although a tie, it did much to help Detroit to the first of Its three sucesslve pennants and caused the adoption of the Amer ican league rule to play off post poned or tie games at the first opportunity. On September 2 8 Detroit and Athletics were tied for the lead, with Chicago and Cleveland dan- gerous. With a postponed game before them, Connie Mack elected to play it off the last day of the se ries instead of the first day, as now.* When darkness ended the game in the 17th the score was 9-9 and it was never played off. Umpire Silk O'Laughliu started a riot in the 14th whe nCrawford dropped Davis' fly at the edge of the crowd, and upon his claim that a spectator purposely Interfered with him Silk called Davis out. In the melee Rossman struck Monte Cross and the crowd surg ed onto the field. Police prevent ed a free-for-all and O'Laughlin chased Rossman. 'Bill Donovan pitched the entire game and, after being hit safely 14 times tn Beven innings, held the Mackmen to six hits in the By Condo 3 next ten innings. 3 The draw gave Detroit a lead, 3 and, with the rainy day, wiped f three games off the schedule. Had these games been played, no one - may say how the season would t have ended. Detroit won the flag j the day before the season closed. » Here is the box score of this > great game: DETROIT. t AB R H PO A E } Jones, If ... 7 1 1 5 0 0 Sctiaefer, 2b. 9 1 8 3 6 I Crawford, cf. 8 2 2 7 0 0 ; Cobb, rf 8 2 3 1 0 0 Posraan, lb . 7 1 2 13 2 0 Killian, lb . 0 0 0 1 0 0 Miller, lb . . 1 0 0 0 0 0 Downs, cf .. 1 0 0 2 0 0 Coughlin, 3b. 7 0 0 1 3 0 Schmidt, c . 1 0 0 3 1 1 Payne, c ... 6 0 1 9 1 0 O'Leary, ss . 8 1 2 3 l o Donovan, p. 7 1 1 3 7 0 Totals 70 9 15 51 21 1 PHILADELPHIA.

You might think It a little strange that a well man should take Chir opractic treatment. The fact is, however, that Chiropractic never lniiiKS an adverse result.
