trained twice yesterday and they ara
mt for their match right now. Bailey
is feeling much better and is more
confident as a result. Last week the
English boy felt the change OF climate
and was bit apprehensive, but now
that he is himself again he is not wor-r
ried over the outcome of his impor
tant match with the Yankee marvel.
Bailey continues to train in lbs easv
manner that does not afford an oppor-
tunity to get line on linn. His
sprints are short and never over q
given distance. but in these fights he
shows world of speed. The big Mo-
tordrome, being comparatively fat.
and with big sweep, is more like the
European tracks and very much. to
his liking. He said yesterday that he
wished the race with McDougail WAS
to be run on the Motordrome.
McDougall trained and sprinted
with the professionals and in sprint
ing he showed that he is as speedy as
the majority Of the cash prize riders
He outsprinted Brother-in-law Grassy
Ryan and he held his own with some
of the fast Australians. If McDougaI
falls before the speed of the English
man, the latter will certainly have an
undisputed claim on the amateur
title.

Joe Fogler trained yesterday and
he will compete in the races at the
Velodrome Sunday. Sir Joseph has
decided that a vacation will be en-
tirely too expensive and until the sea-
son closes he will not miss meet.
There has been considerable speeu-
latiOn as to who will be the partner
of Jimmy Moran in the New York six
day race this year. At one time every
rider who had aspirations to compete
in the race wanted Moran for a part

are seeking James for a mate. In a 81
