BT JAMES II. CASS ELL. Packer McFarland is still "Peerless Packey. the boxing master," the great est boxer In the ring, lie must be, for when ten critics witness the stockyards lad in action against Juck Britton. and nine of them concede the raira to Mc Farland. there is not muA room for argument In glancing over an even dozen re ports of the great 10-round mill of March 7. all appearing- in New York or Brooklyn papers, nine of them accord Packey the victory, seven of them by a big margin and two of them a bit grudgingly, while only one, the Globe, rives the decision to Britton, and that solely on aggressiveness. Of course, opinions differ as to the details. One writer says that It was nothing but a boxing lesson, with Brit ton the DUDil. and that Packey had nine rounds and only failed to get the 10th because he was feeling out his roan. The majority give McFarland aeven rounds, with the other three fair ly even or Britton entitled to one or two. The New York Sun says that Mc Farland has passed the zenith of his career, and that his downfall Is only a matter of months unless he retires. However, all agree that as a light weight McFarland may make no more claims to recognition. He weighed 140 pounds when he stepped Into the ring, and carried few ounces of excess flesh. He was seven pounds over the light weight limit, 44 pounds heavier than Britton and only two pounds under the welterweight mark. Of course, there is the talk of a return bout, with a 20-round mill in California. But It is extremely doubt ful if they ever meet over a longer course than that of a week ago Friday. Brltton's alibi Is that the route was too short that he could have won In 0 rounds. This Is to be expected, but a decision In Jack's favor is not to be If evtr they meet. People think of McFarland as an old man and Britton as a youngster, when as a matter of fact Britton is nearly three years older than McFarland. He was born in 1S85, while Packey first saw the light of day in 18S8. Packey has been before the public longer and In more important roles, but Britton Is Hearing his 2Sth year. However, since Britton weighed only 1353 pounds at the ringside, those who have howled for months that Dan Mor gan's protege Is not a legitimate light weight uium be silent for a time. There is no need for Britton to enter the welterweight division, as must McFar land eventually If he remains In tha ring. Jack may with perfect propriety challenge any lightweight in the world, . - The victory of Bob McAllister over Vwlian In his professional debut not only brands tbe Olympic Club man as a possible successor to Jim Corbett but boosts the stock of Earl Miebus, the Multnomah Club light heavyweight. AUebus lost a decision to McAllister at Los Angeles when the latter was still a "slmon pure," but the margin was far from as aide as that of the go last Wednesday night against the "pro." Californtans may be expected to go Into ei-stacles over McAllister, for the Mg fellow looks like a comer, but there Is really no occasion for the out burst fol 'owing a victory over such a "ham-and" scrapper of the Meehan type. He was made to order for the clever McAllister, and until "Gentle roan Jims" Bob meets a worthier foe It might be well to delay the crowning vf the ex-Winged O phenom. Frank Klaus, of Pittsburg, looks like the logical middleweight boxing cham pion. His victory over Billy Papke In France was expected, as would a vic tory over any other middleweight in a 20-round fight. Eddie McGoorty looms up as the strongest competitor for the title, but they say that Eddie cannot atand the gaff. If Stanley Ketchel had not been mur dered. It's safe to say that the Michi gan Assassin would have been defeated within a few months, with Klaus. Papke. Dillon. McGoorty. Houck. Moha cr Thompson the conqueror. Ketcheil - has been dead since 1910, and these men. with the exception of Thompson and Moha, who have, waxed fat. and Clabby. who has developed from writer to middle, have been riot ing about in fruitless effort to produce a champion.

VANCOUVER TO BE STRONG Canadian Club Joins American As sociation to Participate Folly In Coast Shows and Bo Accord ed Proper Credit. The advantage of an internationally- known Judge for the forthcoming dog show to be held here April 2-5 in the Bungalow Theater Is said to be amply exemplified. San Francisco fanciers have written promising 35 dogs for the show, mostly terriers, and the Vancou ver, B. C, people will how en masse. In both these cases numerous men say they are showing simply because Ihomas. the noted Judge, is to have charge of the selection of ribbon win ners. In addition to being an all around judge, he is essentially a terrier man. not merely an Airedale expert, but arbiter of all varieties of terriers. He was -for a long- time the buyer for the Sabine kennels, the most famous lot of fox terriers In America today. His contract was to travel fcurope every year, selecting new blood and new strains for the millionaire owner. Thomas Crocker Buyer. Then. too. he used to buy for Mise Jennie Crocker, who was recently mar ried, thougn, in this case, he confined his activities to .oston and to whit- Scotch terriers, while he bought and brought to this country the first cham pion Airedale. No less than 28 entries have been re ceived from Butte, Mont, and over 100 ltogether to date. Among those from Montana is Champion Kootenay Chinook, owned by George Downer. This is the Airedale dog that won the ribbon for second best dog in the New York show last year, and he Is sure to go far here. J. A. Kobb. a Canadian government employe, of Victoria, who specializes in setters and pointers, will be show ing extensively, while he is also bring ing down several other dogs belonging to various fanciers in the British Co lumbia city. The Increase from San Francisco will be about 50 per cent, while from Vic toria. B. C. there will be large entries, according to Mrs. Isobel Cleighton. who won here last year, and wrote to Sec retary McCarthy yesterday. She had 12 dogs on the benches last year, chiefly of the cocker spaniel breed. VsaeoSTfr to Slow Heavily. It is from Vancouver, however, that the greatest increase is expected and fon a peculiar reason. There has been GROUP OF BOWLERS JHESE-YT I ITT split-up In dogdom there recently, 'he Vancouver Kennel Club Is now at .iiated with the American Kennel Club, eing the only Canadian club to do so. The reason for this is that dogs gain ing prizes in Canadian shows have no footing in American shows. Conse quently as all the shows on this Coast of any note outside Vancouver anu Victoria are In America, dog-lovers up there figured that it was better to be under American Kennel Club rules. This is not meeting with full favor up there, and the Victoria people are against such a measure, but neverthe less will support the Portland show on account of the ability of the judge, who is going to prove a great drawing card, if all appearances are correct. GAJIE CODE REFEREXDCM AIM BrownsTille Sportsmen Start Move Toward Changing Law. BROWNSVILLE. Or, March 15. (Special.) There was a large attend ance at the meeting of the Browns ville Rod and Gun Club in this city Wednesday night. The meeting was called to consider the recently enacted state game laws.

This will be the first of a series of three games to be played this year to decide the supremacy of the lodge. Wilford. the Canby star pitcher, will be In the box for the Modern Mac cabee's, while Concannon or Goddard will oppose him. "Nig" Borleske was appointed to se lect the University of Oregon law department team at a meeting of the athletic committee recently. The team engages in a game with the Columbia University today on the latter s grounds. The following is the probable lineup for the game: Borleske and Nordling, pitch ers; Hess and Lincoln, catchers, Collins. first base; Kelly, second base; R.

The 125-pound boxing championship of the Columbia University it still un decided, as Driscoil, of the West Hall, and Hays, wearing the colors of the Christie Hall, exchanged wallops for three rounds last Friday at the uni versity and the bout was declared a draw.

After 11 Innings of nip and- tuck playing the Piedmont Juniors managed to put across a run in tneir nan, de feating Oswego. 6 to 5, yesterday after noon.

March 15. (Special.) Dr. G. J. Swetland. Jr., coach of the Willamette University athletic teams, who saw the four basketball games recently played at Eugene and Corva'.lis between the Oregon Agricultural College and Uni versity of Oregon teams, says this ser ies of games was among the best he i ad ever seen and believes that the best basketball teams in the North west are as good as the best in the East. Dr. Sweetland praises the sportsman ship shown by the players on both teams, and while there were many humps given and taken by all the con testants along with minor differences over the selection of ofncia:s prior 10 the games, all seemed to forget after the games were over everything but the good points of their opponenta Everything that savored in the least of the unpleasant was ended. "To a close follower of athletics, but sn outsider, it would seem as if both Mr. Geary and Dr. Stewart were great y assisting their respective institu tions." said Dr. Sweetland.

VANCOUVER. Wash., March 15. (SDecial.) Aien. women and children look a half holiday this afternoon and watched at one of the several placet in the city for returns from the Anderson-Brown light at Vernon, Cal. Sev eral thousand persons did little or no work after noon; and stood In tne street waiting eagerly for Anderson, pride of Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest, to best "Knockout" Brown, and they were sorely . disappointed a hen the flash came that the bout had gone the full 20 rounds and ended in a draii'. Mrs. Charles Anderson, Bud's mother, said: "Of course I was a llttie dis appointed that Buddy did not win, but I am sure that he will do better next time. He has not had as much ring experience as that fellow Brown, so I am sure my boy Is going to win sooner or later." When the last dispatch was read that the end was a draw, the crowd did not cheer, as it had done wildly and vehemently earlier in the go, when Anderson fas reported as having decided advantage over his opponent. There was little betting done here, as everyone was in favor of Anderson but a purse of several thousand dollars was made up and sent to Portland ano Vernon to be wagered- There seems to be a general impres sion that while Anderson did not win. be bettered his chances and that now. with a little more ring experience, he will be able to make it Interesting to! tbe next boxer be meets. He Is ex pected to arrive here for a visit with bis family in a few days. STYLES 40 SCHOOLS III S OREGON' SCHOLASTIC STARS TO COMPETE AT BERKSLEY.
