STORY OF A
 TROPHY CUP
The Race Was Declared Off Because of Many Fouls But One Teams Supporters Got Cup Any how.

Every now and then somebody brings out something really new un- der th. sun. Certain members of the Tempe Normal school have just dis covered new way [" increase their schools trophies one of the events in the Valley League tract, meet held in Phoenix on February third was a relay race with teams entered from each school i'm the league.
 Several fouls were called on the runners and the referee for the day decided to call the relay no race. There was a cup offered on this race by the Pinney and Robinson company and since it was called no race the cup remaied in the hands of the peo- rle who put it off
 But the decision of the judges did not suit certain members of the Normal school They were possessed with the idea that the Normal must have that cup by fair means pr foul. So these enthusiastic normalists came to Phoenix and purchased the cup from the Pinncv and Robinson com rany. who n" longer had any use for it. representing to Messrs. Pinney and Robinson that the cup was tu be staked as a prize on some race to be run in the near future. This k the story of the transaction as rc- lated by Mir. Pinney at meeting of the Valley League Saturday. As soon as the aspiring individuals from Tenn poe got into possession of the cup by this means they took it to the jew elcr and had an inscription engraved on it asserting that it was won by. the relay team of the Tempe Normal school at Phoenix Feb. r.. 1912. and then they bore proudly their home their hard won trophy.
 They had quite a iubilation at the Normal The purchasers of tn" cup represented that it had been awarded to the Normal by the Pinney and Robinson company. in spite of the judges decision, and it was so stated in Saturdays Republican. But when the Normal students finally did find out the truth of the matter they repudidted the active of the would-be cup winners and the cup TOW rests in the hands ni those whose only claim is that they paid for it.
