ATHLETICS
Mr. W. A. Woodger, the well-known | athlete, writing from Margate on June 19 to a member of the Petone Chronicle staff, says:—"l was just beginning to feel myself and running pretty well when I caught a chill. I would very nearly get rid of it, and then it seemed to get worse, and in this way hung to me for a couple of weeks. I .felt really Ibad, and as j everybody was. telling me how ill I i looked I went to an eminent man and he thoroughly examined me. III? ver- ! diet was certainly startling. My temI perature then was over 100 and my : pulse 108. He said I had a combination iof plueriay and pneumonia; This was a bit of a stunner and meant the hospital for me. So I went into a private one in Haimpstead. You can guess how keenly disappointed I was, as all this happened within a fortnight of the Festival games.; I Still, I had to .consider myself fortunate, as the doctoT said if I had let it go for another week or more I might have lost my life."
