FRENCH PUGS TO TRY
FORTUNES IN AMERICA

New York Oct Following the sue
cessfui invasion of Paris by American
pugilists, two French fighters who have
been sChOOled in the American methods
have arrived here in quest of fortune.
One of them, Henri Piest, was discov-
cred by Frank ETne in his school in
Paris. and was SO well trained that he
whipped every lightweight with the ex-
ceptiOn of Freddie Welsh, and it is said
that for eleven rounds he had an even
show with the phenomenal English light
weight until he strained a leg and was
compelled to retire, Welsh securing the
decision. The other fighter is Charles
AdOlphe, who is not so well known as his
companion, but who is rated as a good
man.
As the fighting game is at standstiH
in this city, the two Frenchmen will seek
engagements in western cities.

The Glow entry of Tavora and My Nurse
is the strong favoTite. TavOra Outclassing
the field and liking the distance. With
the top weight, Tavora will have to run,
however, and under the handicapping the
race will be a real one. 1t certainly will
be for blood. Phalanx is picked to run

good over Jim Brady.
Rain and wind greeted the second run.
Arthur Hyman was the favorite and he
rewarded his hackers by winning all the

The last race of the day, at seven fur
longs, was walk for Sylvia L. The Dye

not show the expected speed. and Aucas-

in the racing line. There will be three
features, the two colt stakes in the har-
ness line and the Utah handicap at one
mile for the runners. The colt stakes
