WILL M'FARLAND
REALLY QUIT?
UghtwEigiit's Reasons For Re
tirement Nat Convincing.
SAYS HE HAS MADE HIS PILE
But Even a Plutocrat May Yearn For
More Money Thei Call of the Ring
May Bring Him Back Mike Mur
phy About Through Russ Ford. "''
By TOMMY CLARK.
The reasons given by Packey McFar
land, the Chicago lightweight, for 'his
proposed retirement are not entirely
convincing when judged by ordinary
standards. McFarland states that he
has all the money he wants some
$20O,OOO-and finds training too much
of a hardship. Few persons, be they
pugilists or otherwise, are satisfied
with the state of their bank accounts.
As for training being a hardship, most
healthy athletes find pleasure in keep
ing themselves in good condition. Mc
Farland never has to work very hard
to get in shape for a bout He does
not take on fat as some do and have'
to torture himself la order to remove
it A few "days of light work in the
gymnasium and a little road work
render him fit for the hardest contest
In ' a story written under his own
signature McFarland states that a
boxer must often go without water
when drying out in order to reach a
low notch. However, he can hardly
apply this to his own case, as he sel
dom makes weight and never boxes at
the lightweight limit He can obtain
all the matches he cares to take on
without ever being compelled to re
duce a pound, as he has no champion
ship to defend.
It may be that McFarland Is feeling
a little discouraged by the prospect
Of at least one hard match that is In
evitable If he wishes to retain his stand
ing. He has always been a most care
ful matchmaker, not given to taking
chances of any kind. But even If.he
does retire for a time there is small
chance of its being permanent. He
has just turned twenty-four years old
and is still in his prime. It is always
the case that a boxer once having oc
cupied a prominent position in the pub
lic eye finds It next to impossible to
drop out of sight with his own con
sent The call of the ring Is strong,
and McFarland, like the others who
tried to retire gracefuly while still
successful, will answer it as they have
done unless he is made of entirely dif
ferent clay.
Friends of Mike Murphy, the veteran
trainer of the University of Pennsyl--vania,
are much worried about his
condition. It is said that a trip to
some western resort, probably Denver,
is the best thing for the man who has
developed more athletes than any oth
er individual. At first itjvas thought
Friday
:kW u :m TXT - O th jCL
This being our Twenty First Anniversary, we have
decided to make it the biggest and best -'Opening':
Day" we have ever held and we know you will say
we have had some good ones.
As oursouvenirs are better than ever before we want every
one of our customers in Clackamas County to have one. Every- r
one making a purchase amounting to 50c or more will be en
titled to their choice of a beautiful Plate, a Japanese Pitcher
or a large Salad Bowl. These articles sell in the Japanese stores
in Portland for 50c each. The only string we have to the sou
venirs is-one only to a customer, hone given to children and
none given out before 10 o'clock A.' M. In addition to our
regular souvenir we have bought 150 "Big Beautiful Dolls" all
handsomely dressed, the kind that sells for $1.50 each. And
these we will sell for 25 cents to every customer making a
purchase amounting to $1.00 or more. Just think of it! buy a
dollars worth of merchandise, anything in our big store, and get
a $1.50 doll for 25c. Can you beat it! No dolls to be given away be
fore 10 o'clock, none to be reserved by telephone. Nor cai we give both
dolls and souvenir plates to the same customers. If we seem particular
about the method of giving, it is only to make it possible for all our friends
to get one souvenir. .

Saving 25 to 35 per cent
UYING for four -stores as we do, we are
able to get our Christmas goods of a big
manufacturing concern selling exclusively to
jobbers. - .
You would hardly believe how much we
are able to save our customers by cutting out
that big middleman's profit, 25 per cent, at
least; and in many cases much, more. Look
over our big stock and see what it means to
our many Holiday customers.
"fE believe in taking our customers " into
our confidence and have been doing this
for the past twenty years. We think the
personal side of a business is of interest .to
the customers of a store and is worth telling
about. One important event in our business
affairs is the opening of a new drug store in
' Portland at Fourth and Washington Streets.

"opening day" in Oregon City. When, you
are in Portland arid want to use the tele
phone, leave a package or in fact, if we can

be worth while.
