Frankie Neil, one OF the greatest little

his Waterloo in DreamIand Rink last

English featherweight

ever waged within a prize ring from

The affair reached the sixteenth round
aud in the closing spells OF that fierce
battle. it was Neirs courage alone that
kept him going. His seconds evidently
thought FRANKIE was taxing what came
his way and holding himself together
for knockout punch. But 10 the ay-
eraBe spectator the chances Of the ma
tive son being able to speed or land
a damaging blow seemed very remote.

and was being hammered while helpless

Moran then freed himself from

his weakened opponent once again. A

The bOokmAlLe-s are complaining bit
terly that the play is so light that they
cannot make q round book. and are
compelled 10 take a gambling chance.
To make any money they must guess
the winner themselves. Yesterday they
had pretty hard shedding. and in the
fifth race got the worst drubbing OF the
meeting when IncOgnitO won. Every
body at the track seemed 10 have the
tip on this one, and he was backed
from s to ! at the opening TO 10 I,
and played all over the ring. Nearly
every layer lost heavily. Pete McGratn' s
book was touched I'D 10 the tune OF
81 500, and others Jared Just as badly.
InCoguitO dopei a good thing and the
wonder IS that the books overlooked
him 1t was only another proof OF the
Caliber Of this ring, most Of whom
would be better suited at selling peanuts
than at marking up betting odds.
D'Arkle, which won tho Zone Allen
race. was at any old odds IN the ring.
As good as 40 and 80 70 I could be had
