spring and the youngster since then has
developed into Millers greatest rival AZ
Miller Ia taking on weight rapidly II ia be-
ueNed that Dugnn viii be the leading hgh'-

ago secured iirst cali from Barney Schneider,
who bought that privilege from Durneli
during the Saratoga meeting. Mr. hitUey
vas therefore compelled 10 accept second
