race said of it. Had BouChard been coached properly instead of being taken in hand by men who knew as much about long-distance racing as kanEaroos know about tri- gonometry. the history Of the race might have been changed some l do not think have ever seen a better ten-mile runner than Bou- chard. He travelled like little steam engine for r. miles taking apparently little out of himself. while his leg action was the poetry of motion His arm action was different from that of anybody l have ever seen. He simply lays a hand near each breast and keeps it there. He swings nothing at all. and thus reserves a lot of energy. The difference between BOuchard and St. Yves style is remarkable. They are little fellows. Bouchard being the taller and more strongly built But BouChard is different. his running is beautiful IL was thousand pities he did not run his race with better judgment"
 If it is true that Joe Cosler. the Brooklyn featherweight earned a popular decision over Abe Attell in a 10round bout. strictly on merit, it may be that Father Time is al last catching up with the invinci- ble one. irrespective of broken bones. Giving Abe his due. il must be said that he is the marvel of the age in pugilism. Although a San Francisco boy. St Louis iS en- titled to the credit of bringing him out. At that he had to show mas ter science against George Dixon before he was accepted by the gal lery He was then only IS years old. and Wray. of St Louis Post Dispatch, thinks he was much bet ter than now, save for the expert enCe that gives poise and helps him out Cf tight holes. Abe was a revelation" writes Bray.
 His head was adjusted to the evading of blows to a hairs breadth; his blocking in the open required no more effort than the picking of cherries; his feet seemed endowed with brains, they worked so in har- mony with the fein;ing, slipping and leading of the little general; while his left hand licked out like q tongue of light, when he chose 10 let il loose.
 In those days Abe was not a puncher, but a boxer pure and sim pie His earlier record-he was then but 1S-showed some 30 knockouts to his credit; but Jack McKenna had carefully narrowed out of his system all the old take chance" tactics. When, in later years. reports drifted back from the East that Abe was slugger, St Louis fans were wont 10 laugh, as if the joke was on some one down Atlantic way.
 They said that he tried tcD slug in his fight with Jem DrisColl, the English wizard If he did, Abra- ham made the mistake of his life For while the East seemed almost unanimous that the Briton was the most wonderful man with the gloves seen in a decade, St. Louis can ney- CT be convinced that Attell, at his best. can be outboXed by anybody
 It is unfortunate that Driscoll fell i'll, on his second trip here, when he was scheduled 10 go q long route with Attel. The exhibition of science, brains and manual skill would nave been worth a trip across the continent to see"
 Foxy Ale Attell" is not a new expression. Its meaning, however, is once more impressed on ones mind n connection with he Attell Mcfarland bout which eventually fell through Mcfarland met Jack Goodman. one of the toughest boys in the lightweight class in place of Attell What happened? Well, Mcfarland hammered Goodman in to slumberland with terrific right hand punches. No man was more surprised than Goodman He had underrated McFarand's punishing power, just as the fans had, and just as Attel did, when he first made the match with Mcfarland Attell would have given away about l2 pounds, and the probabilities are that he would have met with crush ing defeat. When Attell, from the ringside, saw Goodman knocked out he grinned. Guess you didn't know thing when you refused to meet Packey at this club. Abey?" said a member You bet I didn't" re piled Attell as he went out inward ly congratulating himself on his narrow escape

 Charley Harvey, the loqnacious New Yorker who manages Owen Moran, the English lightweight, gives this unique description of Knockout Brown, the Eastern slug ger, who has been doing sensational things in his bouts before Tom ORourke's National Athletic club: ITO say that Mir. K. O. Brown is an enigma to the boys who confront him in the ring puts it wildly. It is case of guess from the time the first gong taps. Mir. K. O.. Brown is the guessee, the other fel-
