the river the preceding day This was q

ST. Anthony's church on the Fourth OF
July. when Frank German, the we'll
known athlete. won the first prize In
a race OF this sort, and now Frank wants
to run the veteran OF the down the
| river badge
John r. Harlow who claims to have
| found the new wonder in his line OF
| sport, does not object to pitting his pro-
| tege against Mr.. German. but at the
same time he and his protege would like
} 10 find some way to cut out Mr.. Cor
| mans first three yards Of the race for.
| as Mr.. German Is a professional. he gets
away before his competitors do. but after

Mr.. Harlow's wonder Is "a pounds

willing to snap this "a pounds of weight

to give away n point. 1t is possible that
the race will be held for the badge, and
small purse.
