DIVING GIRL THROWN
 FROM MOUNT IN RACE

The one mile running race put on by the diving girls yesterday after noon was exciting at both start and finish. The girls, who were attired in their diving accontrements, and riding COW ponies borrowed from sev- eral obiging punchers, made mis- take as to when they were to start. Part of them started at one time, and the rest when they saw fit. Anyway they finally got away, and navigated the mile in good shape, all except for an accident that nearly proved disastrous.
 Three of them were coming down the home stretch, with a daughter of Neptune attired in black tights lead ing As her horse passed the end of the half mile fence, it took a notion to go over into the paddock The girl was unable to stop her mount, and as the animal landed on the other side of the fence, she was thrown, and narrowly escaped being rolled on. She pluckily got up and was out of the way of the slashing hoofs of the wildly excited animal. She was unhurt except for few scratches around the face. The bandages applied to her injuries pre- vented the young lady taking part in the last performance of the after noon.

One of the star attractions of the show. and perhaps the center of in terest, was the exhibit of eight collies, from the Allah collie kennels, owned by A. IT. Fitz of this city. As su- perintendent of the dog show, Mir Fitz did not enter for competition any of his dogs, but has a string of collies, fit to put down in any show in the United States.
 The judge R. F. Petit of AIbu- querque, an old collie breeder. and who attends all big bench shows, in this country and Canada. said that in the international champion Seedley SOnsie MT. Fitz has what is recog- niZed as the greatest female on the continent, a bitch that has been best of all breeds in five of the largest shows ever held in this country Ar,- other dog exhibited from this kennel is the well known bench winner Bonair Big Boy, which has been sue cessfullv shown throughout the west

Judging of the dogs at the fair was completed yesterday noon, and the awards were as follows:
 Prize for best of all breeds went to the Scottish deerhound, Tango, owned by F. c. Noack of this city. Judge R. Fred Petit in speaking of this dog, said he was an excellent specf- men of the breed and if shown in proper condition, could hold his own at any big eastern bench show. Flora. a female of the same breed and not wearing as good a coat as her ken nel-mate, eXcelled in head properties. Taken as a pair, they could probably do more winning on the bench than any two other dogs from any one kennel in the state.

Lorenzo BOidO winner of the Tue son Phoenix motorcycle road race. will start at the pole in the first rank of the ten riders, who will compete for the $500 prizes at the state fair to- morrow. Unlike the auto race, unm- bers are given out in the order of the receipt of the entrty, and Boido, be- ing lucky in drawing No. l for the Tucson-PhoeniX, grabbed a chance to start out in front in the track contest.
 All preliminaries will be settled to- night at the meeting of the riders. The entries of the nine riders not yet registered will be in by seven this evening.
 Dr. Boido will instruct the riders to observe the strictest rules of safety first. In this, he insists upon a rigid ob. dience to all regular and special ordinances made and provided to gov ern track contests Great pains will be taken to prepare the track; the fences will be removed, and the sur face rendered just as uniformly smooth as hard work can make it.
 There is little else to be done except go through the formalities, for every machine is ready for the grind. Bob Perry is still putting finishing touches on the Excelsior he wrecked in the road contest, but with his corps of able assistants, he had got the ma chine ready yesterday except for clamping the motor in the frame.
 F1eckenstein had Kinney's Cyclone in fine crescendo yesterday. but for that matter, so were Morty Graves, Don Johns, l.. Boido, Frank Mont gomery. Ray Creviston and Harry Crandall entirely satisfied with the noise their motors made.
 There will be exactly nine entries in the two wheeler contest, unless there are more or less.

 CAME CALLED OFF, PERHAPS
Inability to Agree O. Financial Terms for the Thanksgiving Game Is Given As Reason; Hope for Game

Like the well known (and well wOrn) bolt from the blue, came the announce ment last night that diplomatic rela- tionS between the High and lndiaT schools had been broken off. and tn the football game between the COyot - and Braves, the biggest local fOOtbi morsel on the Thanksgiving platte had been called off. Inability to agre on finances is given as the cause.
 There was some hope last night tn the schools might get together, and r. sume their preparations for the gam and this hope was strengthened b statements by football fans abol town, who would be sorry to see t annual event misfire.
 Still, Coach Venne of the Indians h. already opened negotiations for a gan with the Prescott high at the India school next Thursday. and it is under stood Principal Cook of the high schooI has intimated he would approach thu Tempe Normal for a return game her
 In a statement given to The Repul lican last night, Major Grinstead. di@ ciplinarian of the Indian school e. plained his views as follows:
 The high school called off the Thanksgiving doy football game with the Indian school team. They made two propositions, in the form of an ul timatum to the Indian management, as follows:
 The game to be played at Riverside park; the high school to give the In dians 100 tickets and $50, or: to give the Indians $75 cash.
 The Indian school management re- iected both propositions and the high school called the game off.
 The Indian mana cement offered to play at Riverside park for half the net gate receipts, and also offered to play at the Indian school and give the high school two thirds of the net
 The Indians wished very much to play this game, which has been an an nual affair. and insisted only on a fair division of the gate receipts"
