“Kid” Rogers Again Visits Rensselaer-Fights in Prospect.

iGuy “Kid” Rogers is again in Rensselaer, having arrived this morning from Akron, Ohio, where he was in training as a fighter. He was disappointed in not meeting Young Sayler in Indianapolis on Christmas night, tout Sayler 'had sailed for Australia without letting Rogers know he was going; so a hasty match was arranged with Pal Gryme, who was not in very good trim and Rogers stopped him in the second round, Rogers is to meet Frankie Whitney at Dayton, Ohio, ’on Jan. 20th and will he in training here in the meantime. A local boxer is planning to work with him and it is probable that several othens will want to learn some of the points of the game. Mr. Rogers is very much of a gentleman in appearance. He dresses stylishly, is as mild mannered as a child and has none of the oo&rseness that is customarily a part of the “pug” game. So states that he was an evangelist for two years, having been induced to enter that field of work toy “Billy” Sunday, but he broke back into the fight game about two years ago.
