The Chicago fighter showed considerable Improvement over his Bos- tpn bout with Bert Kcyes. LouKhrey was sent iown in the sec ond round for the count of seven and In the third round for the count of nine. Both boys were tirVd when the gong sounded the clone of the sixth round. Although no decision was given It was clearly ssen that McFarland had much the bettor of the mill. McKnrland shows a disposition to iglve the fans a run for their money and has reiterated that he will take no chances with any of the second and third raters. McFarlnnd, who seems to b a sincere flKhter. wants to keen hi record clear of knockdowns or knockouts faa long as he is able, and is fearful of stopping a cnance blow which m lo tnn trick.

Speaking of the match, the London Sporting Life said recentlv: "W can look forward to one of the most In teresting struggles on the mat that Eng ianu nas wunessea ror many years. And what will be of more vital lntprf-st tn England and Englishmen is that for tne first time for years a real English horn wrestler, fit and competent, will strive to win back far the home land tne laurels which should never have left meso snores. Jack Walsh has been selected to ref eree the Attell-Nell bout to take place In San Francisco the end of this month. N It Is a rood thing for the baseball managers tnut only one man can lead In batting. Champion hitters come high. There seems to be some doubt about Elmer Strlcklett, Brooklyn's star pitch er, staying In California thla season. Bill Papke continues ' to mow down the ambitious scrappers as fast as they come before him. There Is no mistake about Bill's ability as a fighter. Magnolia Park, the new baseball ground In New Orleans, Is fast nearing completion. It Is said the new home of the Pelicans will be one of the finest in the country.

FRENCH JOCKEY CLUB LENIENT WITH "BABIES" To a certain extent the French Jockey club has taken down the bars with re Sard to the early running of 2-year-olds by a recent ruling which permits young sters cf selling plate class to compete In races after the first Monday in June. Heretofore the baby racers of that country have been idle until the Inst day of July, and the change Is one that meets with general approval, for the reason that It Is hedged with a restric tion that Insures the savins of the bet ter juveniles. The latest ruling of the French turf authorities is that 2-year-olds may race after the first Monday in June, but only in selling ruces. Other events for iu- veniles will not be permitted before the last day of July. As French owners take few chances with what they con sider first class horses in selling races it Is believed that onlv srenulne selllne platers will take pari in these early events.

Boat clubs throughout the country are beginning to hope that Andrew Carnegie will switch from library endowments to rowing endowments. Not only has Mr. Carnegie given Car negle lake to Princeton and given that university to understand that he will encourage rowing there with cash, but he has made a gift of $1,000 to the Laureate Boat club of Troy to reno vaie us ciuonouse and to purchase a new stock of boats. The gift Is tendered on condition that the rowing organisation Is to raise 4,ooo ror a IlRe purpose within six months. The club has accepted the Car negie offer and ft committee has been appointed to take charge of the work. John M. Francis of the executive com mittee of -the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, is an officer of the Laureate club, and it was through his efforts that Mr. Carnegie decided to make the gift. There are scores of worthy and strug gling boat clubs throughout the coun try who could put a thousand or so dol lars to fine use. and If Mr. 'Carnegie really Intends to encourage the noble sport of rowing, he will have no diffi culty in placing a very considerable portion of his Income. Portland would like nothing better than to sea the nhllanthrnnlst nut a few hundred of his shekels Into local rowing circles. Incidentally it might be brought to his attention that thn Portland Rowing club won second place In the national regatta in the east in 1906.
