One Real right In Sight. Tha one llarht weicht match I would II K to aea ito through would rail out Wolgaat and McFarland. Packey haa been knocking at the door for a long time and deserves a chance at the title. The weight question could ba amicably settled. I belleTe. If It were the Inclina tion of tha Wolgast party to rontlnua the hard campaign begun several months ago. It waa Ad a plan, from all accounts, to take things easy be tween this and Thanksclvinr. with a six-round affair now and then where a nice piece of money can ba picked up without being forced to work bard for It. McFarland can make tha weight all right. That la. the weight Wol gaat'e manager suggested when tha fight waa talked of following tha Mor an affair 111 pounds three hours be fore tha contest. I hare this on tha autholty of a close friend of tha Chl cagoan. Hut Tackey Is a wlaa boy and Is going to get the best of It whenever possible, for which no sane person can blame the lad. The unbelievers who claim McFar land to ba no longer a lightweight and that ha haa grown Into the welter di vision may be Intereated to know that when Packey boxed Jack Ooodman In this city several months ago ha weighed In at 11I pounde at S o'clock. And the weight called for waa Hi at that hour. Mmmy Kelly, manager of Ooodman and at one ttma one of tha cleverest featherweights In the profession, la a great believer In McFarland. Tha man ner tn which the stockyards boy han dled and knocked out Ooodman con vinced Kelly that Packey could make the 131-pound mark and still ba at hla bt. 8emmy said the other day: "McFarland ran easily do 133 pounds and whip any man tn tha world. Ha la a f ixy chap and klda a lot of -people with the atory that ha can't do tha weight and be strong, but If Wolgaat makes a match with him and allows Mac to weigh a few hours before ring time, go and bet that there will ba a new champion. Wolgaet couldn't put a glove on Tackey In 30 rounds, wbtla M.-Farlard would cut Ad to ptecea and blind him Ion before tha limit." Parkry la Wl Flsh. This. coming from auch an authority as Kelly, the developer of Ooodman. one of the best boys ever turned out of New York, must ba given considera tion. I know for a fact that when Tackey weighed tn ha waa stronr aa a bull. The stories that he waa drawn and not at hla best were creations of Ms own fertile brain. If tha match la made, although at thla time tha prospect seems slight i for McFarland la tha one boy Wolgast haa tha greatest respect for), and Taekey entera tha ring anywhere near Ms present grand shape. I am also of tha opinion that tha title will change bands. Tha champion would have to tire Packey out before ho could admin ister dangerous punishment, and with Ms wonderful skill McFarland ought to have Wolgaet In bad shape before showing any signs of tlrtng. And leave It to Packey to finish Quickly tha Job. one hla opponent displays evidence of distress. The Welch-Woljtast contest la a bit too far away to suit tha fana. but It ougit to prove a great go. Next to M -Karlend. Freddie Is unquestionably the cleverest boxer In the business. When Packey boxed the Welshman In England the press and public conceded the verdict to the American, although the referee called the match a draw. Since that time Welch may hare rone back, aa the result of his bout with Wells woold Indicate. Tha probability Is. however, that Freddie underesti mated, hla opponent and waa not at his beat. Wells haa fallen far abort of rhamptonehtp form In hi contests here since winning tha English title.

The greatest number of runs, so far aa tha records go tn major league base ball, fell to tha lot of Chicago, when Cleveland was beaten July 24, 1882. by a score of 35 to 4. Games have been played between professional teams In whtcb scores reached over 100 runs, but these ara not In tha record books and have no place In modern-day baseball, see Ft.

TALE IS MARVELOUS ONE Storm Stop Pirate-Giant Game, but Spectators See Infield Be come Hearing Ocean in Twinkling of Eye. Tomes that, if stacked tog-ether, would fill a Carnegie library, have been written about the "most wonder ful" pitchers, batsmen, fielders, and so forth, of baseball's many such. Like wise have the "greatest" plays on the diamond been carefully chronicled. But here Is a little departure from the cut-and-drted freaks that have happened within a ball yard fence and appealed to tha fan as the "greatest 'play' he ever saw." when a seafaring man an old head at the game arises to say that the greatest play of the elements he ever aaw waa staged on a ball field, it is an occasion for the soft pedaL But such waa the story told by Captain Henry Peterson, master of the good ship Carlos, In a fanning bee on board his vessel In a recent trip from San Diego to Portland. The talk drifted to marvelous feats by ballplayers when the captain sprung this:- "It was In the early part of the 1910 season, when the New Tork Olants and the Pittsburg Pirates were having a aeries on the Polo Grounds that this big wind broke loose. It was the last game of the series, and. de spite an overcast sky, about 15,000 people had turned out.

WIGGS IS ALSO TO FRONT Heavy 1912 New Tork Giant Passes Xetzel, of Spokane, by Making 16 lilts in 84 Times at Bat During Past 1 Days. Seattle has corralled the individual honors for this week's statistical sum mary, leading the big hitters with Ar thur Bues, a 1912 New Tork Giant, and leading the pitchers with James Wiggs, formerly of the Pacific Coast League. an., manacari to DiiRs Netzel by mak ing 16 hits In 34 times at bat during the last week. . Netzel continues w lead with the greatest number of hits, leading his nearest rival by 15 safe blows. The last week's work showed Netzel, Mundorft. Swain and Frisk dropping a bit, with Bues, Brashear, Householder, Nordyke and Bennett Moving upward. Netzel and Cooney, of Spokane, still show up as the best run-getters. W illis Drops Back. A glance at the pitching records show3 that Willis has dropped a bit in the last two weeks, since pitching figures were published, while Wiggs managed to keep on winning. Engle's victories the last two times out put him back close to the top and above Willis. It is interesting to note that the leading pitchers are all three vet erans of many leagues rated faster than the Northwestern. By virtue of 13 drives over the Seat tle fence. Bues leads the league also In point of long-distance hitting, with 68 extra bases. Add 58 to Bues' number of hits and his extra base average, in proportion to times at bat, is .624. Incidentally, watch out for Lou Nor dyke. The 1910 batting champion has been coming up by leaps and. bounds lately, pegsrlng along with one, two and three licks every daj'. Earlier In the season Lou was barely hanging on to the .250 class. In his last 25 games Nordyke has batted safely at least once in all but two, has made 35 hits for an average of .400. He Is within shooting distance of the leaders right "The leading Individual performers and the records of all pitchers who have won at least half their games follow: Individual Performances Told Bues, Seattle Netzel.

CLARK'S PLANS GO AWRY Gossip Has It He May Take Bout Between Flynn and Morris as a Forlorn Hope Coffnth Is Temporarily Inactive. BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO, July 22. (Special.) . We have been viewing the fighting game, or rather the gossip, through a, long-distance telescope, the past week, rather an unusual proceeding in San Francisco. The fighters have left us for the time being, and even the talk of prospective matches in San Francisco has to come from the East. Jimmy Cof froth, one of the promoters, is enjoy ing a Summer outing at Lake Tahoo. and Milton T. Clark is conducting his negotiations through Tom O'Day, who went East for that purpose. . Clark's plans for a September match have failed to land, so far as we know. He wanted Matt Wells and Packey Mc Farland, but that bout fell through. Then he figured on Knockout Brown as a suitable opponent for Freddie Welsh, but so far as known there has coma from Brown no word of an acceptance. It has been hinted that Clark might finally decide to take the bout between Jim Flynn and Carl Morris, the white hope of Oklahoma. That bout for the near heavywe'ght championship has been homeless since the Governor of Oklahoma put down his foot, and thera Is nowhere, apparently, for it to land. It certainly cannot be considered a big match for San Francisco, although it would probably attract a world of attention becausa of the advertising that has come to Morris. I presume the fighters are highly inflated be cause of this publicity and demand mora than the card is really worth. However, it will be better than no match at all, and at the rate that Clark is proceeding I wouldn't bo surprised to have him make an announcement to that effect very shortly. Coffroth Is Inactive. Jimmy Coffroth is taking no steps, so far as the newspaper fraternity has been informed, but the chances are that he is lying for Billy Papke and Frank Klaus for the August date. Papke Just arrived In New York last Wednesday night. Ho hurried to his Illinois homo but has been matched with Sailor Burke for some night next week in New York. The Eastern sporting critics are de claring that Papke is the recognized middleweight champion of tha world, but the Joke of the thing is Papke has declared that henceforth he will recog nize the English middleweight limit of 160 pounds, instead of 158 pounds, as in this country. That means ho has been putting on weight since he first went to Australia. Klaus, who weighs less than 158 pounds, would probably have to concede that slight advantage to Papke, because the Illinois man is so well thought of as the champion. It would make a corking good drawins: card, although Papko will want to be well paid to come this far West for a match on such short notice. McFarland Matches Watt. Packey McFarland looked the first of the week as If he had cinched two good matches for September, but later re ports indicated that there were war clouds on the horizon. The Wells match was presumably signed and delivered, but at the last moment, George Mc Donald, acting for Wells, Insisted on the right to name the manager, and also wanted different financial induce ments. , Then came the Wolgast proposition. Wolgast wanted $14,000 to fight ten rounds with the Chicago stockyards boy in Milwaukee, but finally said that ho would tane 50 per cent and let Packey have 25 per cent. The Chlcagoan went up In arms at this and insisted tnat he must have at least 30 per cent for hi. end or there would be no bout, so at this writing it Is hard to say Just what will be done. Freddie Welsh ha3 dropped from sight temporarily. The Welshman is at Venice, in Southern California, along with his sister, and is taking a good rest, preparatory to getting Into shape for the Wolgast bout in November. That match looks to bo a certainty. Wolgast has accepted the terms and can't draw out of his agreement with any credit to himself. Eddie Smith, the well-known Oak land referee, is under the weather. Ed die has been bothered with stomach trouble, and got up out of a sick bed last week to take the Los Angeles trip to referee the Kllbano bout. It was evidently a bad move, for he Is once more In the hospital, and his condition is Baid to ba none too hopeful. COUNTRY ClaUB IS PLAXXED Klamath Falls Organization Buys Tract for Home.
