For Jim Corbett read Willie Ritchio
and for Bob Fitzsimmons read Tommy
Murphy and IL is instanced that the con-
ditions are the same. Ritchle's record
IS even more abbreviated than Jim Cor
belts and there isn't a thing In IL that
corresponds with Corbetts defeat OF John
l.. Sullivan.
Murphy. on the other hand. has a past
long as your arm, and has suffered
few reverses as Fit2simmons. albeit.
his record Isn't anything like as sensa- =
tional the Cornishman's.
The inference, OF course, is that Richie

favorite for next Wednesday nights con-
test at Coffroth's Eighth street arena
than Coroett had at Carson. 1t is an odd
line OF reasoning, but anyhow It's worth
a thought.
In the case OF a veteran like Murphy,
one OF the things which initiates against
popularity with the form students Is the
feeling that he cannot 90 on forever. II
is admitted that Tommy has upset all
the laws OF averages. but the suspicion
that the next fight he engages In may be
the one In which he Will blow UP" Is
ever present.
Many years before F!tzsimmons showed
signs OF slowing there were arguments as
to whether the world-famous Cornlshman
had another fight left in him. He proved
that he had several. Even after making
show OF retiring he came forth again
and knocked out Gus Rubin and Tom
Sharkey within q week of each other,

according TO w f. Day, physical direc-
tor of The Deseret gymnasium, who re-
turned yesterday from New York, where
he went 10 attend the annual meeting
OF the Amateur Athletic association.
Eastern athletic officials have high
regard for the provess of Alma Rlch-
ards OF Provo, Olympic high jump cham
piou, aud they feel that tho develop
ment OF athletics in the west is yet IN
It's infancy.
Mr.. Day attended the meeting in New
York TO represent the lntcrmountain
Athletic association. which is affiliated
with the national organization. He was
elected a member OF the board OF gov
ernors of the national association, and
also a member of the national basket
ball rules committee, and was called
upon for toast at The banquet given
at the close OF the convention at the
Waldorf-Astoria.
An opinion among those present a
the meeting, according To Mr.. Day, was
that soccer, as popular sport, is be
coming more and more recognized in
tho United States DR.. Manning. pTcsi-
dent Of the United States Football AS
sociation. said that il was being adopted
in schools throughout the country, and
that il would eventually bc a national

20 DR.. Hirschman, who has been sent
by the Austrian government TO investl-
gate athletic methods in the United
States. 10 visit Salt Lake on his tour
of the west.
Mr. Day said yesterday that he was
glad to get back TO Salt Lake. He had
much praise for the business activities
of the city. and said that Salt Lake
vas in a far better condition finan-
ciRlly than cities III the east. In dis
cubsing plans which the lntermountain
Athletic association intended carrying
out this winter and next spring, Mr..
Day said that boxing and wrestling
tournaments would he arranged; that
swimming meets would be held from
tine 10 time, and that i big track aud

marathon run. II is probable that the

PROLOGUE.

When sinisterly designing
nobleman and a clever, unscru-
pulous adventures match their
wits against three thoroughbreds
"a man, a woman and a horse
with the object of bringing about
their downfall and confusion
there is certain to be a series
of dramatically interesting rem
counters. Who will Min epentu-
ally depends largely upon the
accident of chance, upon the Ia
tent possibilities that lie in the
ever variable unknown quantity
that exists in human affairs.
And so it is with The Whip, a
great race horse, about whose
history are woven romance, trag-
edy and comedy in equal meas
ure and who in the end becomes
the deciding factor in the war
of wits around her.

CHAPTER 4.
Lady Diana Follows the Pack.

INV Lady Diana Sartoris, 1.-The
cleanest sportswoman in all
England"-the orators of the
~ hunt breakfasts of the Bever-
ley hounds would have it so-a fence
was merely an obstacle. And so after
this morning with the Beverley pack
Lady "Di" on her return to the ken
nels of her grandfather. the Marquis
of Beverley, found defiant pleasure
in putting her hunter over every such
obstacle.
Though the day was one of those
perfect Yorkshire days, when rural
England seems made for the sports
man. Lady Diana's gallop at the heels
Of the pack had not been altogether of
pleasure.
To begin with. her grandfather, the
pompous and morally bombastic Mar
quis of Beverley. had been in no good
humor. Although Falconhurst, the
most secluded and retired Of the sew
eral country seats of the family, was
filed with the members of a house
party for Lady Diana Sartoris. Bever-
ley had carefully warned them away
from the Downs, and indeed had sent
all of them otter hunting with Captain
Greville Sartoris. Lady Diana's cousin.
"And otter hunting of all sports in
the world!" Lady Diana had breathed
sarcastically to her maid. Zone might
quite as we'll hunt bally mouse as an
otter. you know"
The reason Lady Diana knew of
course. The Whip. the newest racer
in the great stables of Beverley. was
being exercised on the Downs that
morning. and although this expected
successor to the Newmarket winners
Silver Cloud. Falconhurst and Bever-
]ey's Hope, had not had her trial and
was not likely to have for some time,
the racing marquis was determined
that no strange eyes should learn any
thing Of the speed pet of his declining
years.
Stable secrets had been leaking Of
late in regard to some of the others In
the string. but none should respecting
The Whip.
This prohibition had extended to
Lady Diana herself 1t was not that
through her there was danger of the
betting ring getting advance informa-
ton, but the young girl who shared al
most equally in Beverley's affection for
The Whip. could not have been with
the promising filly and her contempt
raries without being upon the back Of
the speediest

of the other racers In the Beverley
stables. as Diana Of old hunted. with
divine inspiration.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1913-12-05

"But the little filly's growing up. or.
rather. my granddaughter Lady Diana
is growing up" the marquis had said
more than once, land a filly isn't colt
any more, rather young woman of
position and rank isn't girl. and she
really can't ride with the lads of my
stable"
So Lady Diana. in the warm rebel
lion of youth. at the first trammeling
appearance of that convention which
ultimately molds us all until we lose
our little distinguishing essence and be-
come as so many peas was irritated by
this abrupt separation from the things
of her childhood.
Hence this finely strung, perhaps Or
dinarily too emotionless. young Eng
lishwoman took the highest and rough
est of the obstacles in her course as
she followed in the wake Of the Bev-
erley hounds. for the hounds were
not the features of hunt. but merely
out on one Of their exercising eXpedi-
tons. when to keep their scent in
they were permitted to range for trails
under the guidance OF whips.
One Of the obstacles which Lady Di-
ana took that morning was a stone
fence that separated the lands of Fal-
conhurst from the property Of the
Earl of Brancaster, in the midst of
which stood the old stone tower, Rie-

Lord Beverley" said the artist very
shortly indeed. Come along"
Lord Beverley! Really" exclaimed
the woman, and then. made holder by
this revelation. she spoke directly to
Lady Diana: 81 am so sorry we were
in the way. Pray tell Lord Beverley
I'll take great care it doesn't happen
again"
But this gracious speech won from
the girl only nod of the head and the
singularly British irritating THANK

end
"Please make haste: they are here"
the artist cautioned her.
Eyes. yes. dear" the dark woman re-
turned. and then smiled at Lady Di-
ana. Good morning."
Another little nod of the blond head
and THANK you" were her only re-
wards. The artist bowed very imper-
sonally and. with the woman who had
come for him. rode down the road.
Musingiy Lady Diana looked after
them.
