Here is a new Mike Murphy story
tale that shows the wonderful versa
tility of the great trainer in getting
results from the athletes under him.
Ted Meredith the crack Pennsylvania
runner, went stale on the eve of a big
race. Murphy knew it-and knew
there was only one way to get Mere
9th to overcome ii.
So just as the runners were going
to the tape, Murphy, who loved Mere
dith like a son, and knew him to be
one Of the gamest Of athletes, called
Ted to his side and snarled:
Look here, Meredith, you're yellow
you're a quitter. You're going 10
quit in this race-you're going to lay
down to this bunch-and I know it.
I just want to tell you in advance that
1 know it so you won't come to me
afterward with some phOney excuse.
Now you get away from me"
Meredith was amazed at first then |
when the full import of Murphy's de-
seeped into his brain he 1
went white with rage. His fists
clenched and he advanced toward Muir
ply But just at that second the start
ter, finding Meredith absent from the
line bawled to him, and it was a case
Of Meredith rushing over to the line
that very second or having the race
start without him.
III see you when I get through with
this race" snapped Meredith at Muir
phy as he ran to the line.
Meredith never ran a greater race in |
his life than he did that day. He sim

he crossed the finish line, he never

sropped-just continued to run to
where Murphy was standing. He
Whirled up to the wonderful Irish
trainer, ready to do battle for the in
suit, and found Murphy with an out
stretched hand, and a grin on his face.
Fine work, Ted, my boy; fine work.
Sorry 1 had to call you names and get
you mad, but you know, my boy, if
didn't you'd never have won the race
When a fellows muscles are gone and
his condition poor he'll often win if
you make him mad, call him a gutter
and tell him he can't win"
And Meredith, his anger suddenly
cooled, grinned, too, and shook Mixes
hand.
Why not send the English militant
suffragets to Mexico? They'd be in
their element-and the war soon would
be over for what army could with
