the business. Fogler swears he will
never ride in another grind. He Is
through. He has been a good old
battler and has run five of those
long races and has generally been
we'll up at the finish. He was in
awful bad shape during the last race,
and he says himself he doesn't know
how he stood it, At times he was so
"all in" that he didn't think he would
be able to continue. On Saturday
morning he was particularly bad as
were most of the other boys. At
about s O'Clock Mcfarland came
around and announced that there
would be a thirty-mile sprint-thirty
primes at $40 each. Fogler almost
collapsed.
THAT settles it, he said to his
brother. Leo, go and get me tree

hang myself.
Later it was discovered that the
brutal MacFarland was joking, and

Kid Boonton wants to meet the
winner of the Banty Lewis-Jimmy
McVeigh bout, to be held at Olympic
A. C. tonight. Boonton says the club
has offered to stage such a contest
and he will be ready at moments
notice to take on the match. In the
meantime, Boonton is training along
with Kid Lewis, the English cham
pion, over In New York, and he is said
to be O much improved boy. The
Lewis McVeigh clash tonight should
furnish great battle, as it is be-
| lieved the men are about evenly
matched. On his knockout victory
Lewis ought to have the call, but 1t
seems that beating has not been ac-
cepted as a true line on the respective
merits of the contestants. Lewis, on
that occasion, got off to a good start,
and he fought McVeigh to the ground
before Jimmy could get going. In the
fight tonight McVeigh promises to be
wide-awake and alert. He is going
to box Banty carefully, it is said, for
few rounds, but it is declared that
Jimmy will do his best before hostili-
ties have ceased to make amends for
the decisive victory Lewis now holds
over him.
The boxing matches hereabouts
haven't been doing much business
lately, and perhaps the one tonight
will not be as attractive as ex-
pected. As a match, 1t is about the
best that could be made, still there
