Show M'FARLAND WILL ( MEET BRITTON Hr Chicago, Nov 7. Eruil Thiry entcr- H fained us for the greater part on H I . Lour last eening with a discussion H ' on the fight situation in general, and i H incidentally furnished us some in-J H formation on the prospect of a match H v between Patrick McFarland and his B i most hated and respected ring en-1 Hf ., cniy, Jack Britton. From what Emil H had to say on the subject of that H excellent match, we gather that Pat- H rick and Jack- are slated to settle I H their differences In a New York ring H about the middle of December. H "I went to New York after Packey H beat Jim mi Duffy in Buffalo the H other night and talked matters over H concerning a Britton fight," said m Thiry., "I gave the promotors to un- H dorstand that Packey was ready for m tho BrlLton party any time he got H i enough money to repay him for tak- HT Ing the time to got in shape for a H i . clever fellow like Jack. Thoy thought H I the thing oer and decided that Dec, H 1C in Madison Square Garden would H be about the proper time. HL "You see, the only other available Hj.i i garden date before that time is Nov. 1L This will be a big match, and j,t Billy Gibson and his aides figure that H' there is not enough time left prop- ' . orly to advertise the mill If the boys H?v I meet early In November. After Nov Mw, p 11 the garden will be in use for a few weeks for flower shows and such , foolish things. Ik I "Anyway, Packey Is not himself KL J now, and I deem it advisable to wait. IB , I dragged him out of a sick bed to IK box Duffy so as not to disappoint our IS I friends In Buffalo. He did not go IK very well, but will be all right in a RK week or so. In tho meantime we IMP will pick up what maiches wq can mr- before closing with Britton for that r December date Thoj want us to box Jack O'Brien in Philadelphia Nov. C, and I guess that match will go through Jack's big brother Is trying to dictate to us on the weight but he can't get away with that kind of stuff. j "There Is only one man who can I nose Britton out of the December J date with McFarland That man isj Ad Wolgast, and I hardly think Tom Jones wilf let Ad sign ud, though the I fighter himself is perfectly willing At I least hesays he is, and J Imagine he is conceited enough to think he can whip my champion. That will be about all for this evening, but remember re-member that one Jack Britton is due for an artistic lacing next December" |
