Cross Lucks CUti,Leach Cross, the New York ilght-weighb will not gfet a chance to fight Bkttllhg Nolson right away. HB defeat at the mitts of Paokey MdFar-lantl of Chicago was decisive enough to convince Cross* warmest admirers that he would out a sorry figure along-aide of Nelson.In scoring three knockdowns in the six rounds McFarland showed tlmt while Cross lacked attacking ability, ho was also deficient In defense. How- , ever, tins fact that MOFaNahd was unable to put Cross out Was some thing to the New Yorker's credit.McFarland showed that he has bsen studying the tstyle of Joo Gans, for he used practically nothing against Cross but straight rights and lefts and vicious uppercuts. These uppercuts proved Cross’ undoing, for they opened up hts defense, breaking down hi a oovarlng up tactics and gave the Chicagoan the openings ho desired.HARRY GRANT,
