Athearn. He will remain for a few days. Mr. Stout says that the boxing game is on the decline and good boxers are scarce. He says that the ones who are any good are too high priced for the promoters. Stout is managing a promising featherweight by the name of Paddie McFarland. "Paddy" has had fifty fights with only one decision against him and this fight was lost on a foul to "Dusty" Miller. Since then McFarland knocked Miller out in three rounds.
