Young Thomas ie working out with
Mike Uraine, the local welter-weight. and
Tommy Lowe. the light-weight champion
OF the South, while Egsn ix under the
watchful eyes of Benny Winters and
Shankey Gardener. In a lengthy ses-
sion held yesterday Egan had a great
number of the followers Of the roped
arena guessing. as he showed remark
able Improvement over his recent ability
and looked like the Kid Egan of old.
Thomas is anxious to be in the best
OF shape for this battle, as the wise
ones of the local pugiiistc world are
backing the speed merchant all TIE way.
Thomas Is one OF the best boys that has
been produced here In a long while and
gives every promise of some day being
at the top of the heap in his class.
Thomas can hit with either hand and Is
fast on his feet. Neither boxer will do
any talking on the outcome Of the fight,
since the articles have been signed. but
both are plugging away and each expect
to win before the limit is reached.
Matchmaker Freeman has not named
the referee for this battle. but in all
probability Pat o'Connor, the weIl-known

the ring.
Freeman is working on the prelimi-
naries and semi-windup, and hopes to be
able to announce his card by tomorrow.

Bowie, Nd, April 14-It was get away
day at Bowie course, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that a heavy rain fell dur
Ing the day, large crowd was In at
tendance. Johnny McTaggart was the
shining star Of the days sport, plotting
four horses to victory. He outclassed the
rest OF the boys so far In his judgment
and skin that there was no comparison
to be made between them
A heavy rain fell the entire night and
part OF the day and as result the track
was muddy and sloppy.
The fourth race, a handicap at a mile,
was the feature Of the program. But
four horses faced Starter Dade, and Red
land was Installed favorite, while Re-
publican and Dryad were well supported.
Redland went around his field at the
first turn. and then after he was taken
under restraint, Dryad made several at
tempts to get to the front, but the winner
held him safe at all stages of the race.
Republican weakened badly after going
half a mile, and Ahara ran an extremely
dull race. The latter did not seem to
relish the going and was beaten on ten
lengths.
That the ZolIicoter geldIng is in grand
form was clearly shown in his race to-
day. When Dryad was pressing him in
the stretch Anderson let out reef
and Redland shot to the front.
Castara managed to beat Jim Basey
by q nose In the initial number. while
Dakota was third. Jim Basey was COM
ing strong at the finish and would have
won in another stride.
Lilly Orms won the following number,
beating Aprisa length and a half, who
IN turn beat o 'Tis True by half a
length. Aprisa was in the field and paid
s5s a place. Between Us was at home

rive and dig new trenches while the
British dig opposite them with each
