Packey McFarland baa at last been matched to meet Battling- Nelson on .July 5th for the lightweight championship of the world. Packey will have to do some huHtling to make 133 pounds and the Irish man will have to nmkc it if ho expects to fifilil the Hnttter. This ought to he a dandy go as hoc.li boys are clever, especially Packey, but Ire hasn't anything on the Dane in a 4 5-round contest. Nelson says Packey is a good fighter, but that is the only kind lie has been meeting and also says he is soft and Chicago will be minus another scrapper when he gets through with him.* * *
