BOCASH TRAINING HARD FOR FIGHT
 WITH TERRY BROOK

Louie Bogash, the fighting bull dog who is matched to meet Terry Brooks in the near future, Is training daily at the Remington Arms gym and expects to be in fine condition when he stacks up against the Boston boy. Bogash is now under the wing of Sam Driver, who is trying to ar range matches for him, but so far he seems to be working in tough luck.
 Driver cannot understand why the many so-called toprIJtchers are refus- ing to meet his boy. Most of them will demand too much money or will try to get out of it in some way.
 Barney Adair, the New York lad, has already run out of several matches with Bogash and the only reason Driver can see Is that they | think the boy is too good.
 Larry Williams, the other pug who Driver has under his wing, has al- ready been matched to meet Joe Jeanette and his manager is now try ing to match him with Jack Dempsey, the fight to take place the latter part of the month or the first of the New Year.

The first meeting between the Slasher and the American went 70 rounds to a draw. They met again on Dec. 16, 1S42, and while the Yan- kee had the best of it, the police stopped the bout.

since it was one which he, as a person
