King William III. of England was
passionately fond of the chase and
made it a point never to be outdone
In any leap, however perilous. A Mr.
Cherry, who was devoted to the ex-
lied Stuarts, took advantage Of this
to plan the most remarkable design
which was ever formed against q
kings life. He regularly Joined the
royal hounds, put himself foremost
and took the most desperate leaps In
the hope that William might break
his neck in following him. One day,
however, he accomplished one so i'm
minently dangerous that the king when
he came to the spot shook his head
and drew back. 1t is said that Mr.
Cherry at length broke his own neck
and thereby relieved the king from
further hazard.

 The definition of an amateur as "a
 sportman who engages in sport solely
 for the pleasure and physical. mental or social benefit he derives therefrom and 10 whom sport Is nothing more than an avocation,' was adopted.

COYOTES DEFEND TITLE WHEN THEY
 MEET TUCSON III

The interscholastic championship of Arizona will be at stake when the Phoenix and Tucson high football teams meet at the state fair grounds Satui Jay afternoon The contest will be called at 3 o'clock.
 The Phoenix and Tucson teams have demonstrated their superiority over other teams in the state during the past few weeks. The Tucson team has defeated Bisbee, Douglas and oth- CT state championship contenders in that section whiie Phoenix has safely eliminated all would-be champions in the immediate vicinity
 The Coyotes are now the state title holders by reason of their string of victories during the 1915 season. The team, Is thought, is equally as strong this year as last and for that reason it is believed that the team will again be able to land the state honors.
 During the coming week, Coach Geary will drill the team in several new plays. In the past, no great sue cess has attended the squad in the matter of making forward passes but it is believed that with the new for nations. gains with the aerial style .of play will be more consistent
 The boys are also blocking much pettet tnah al any other dime this setson. The santa Ana high team owes its victory over Phoenix high 10 It's superior blocking. The local players have finally awakened to the necessity of disposing of Would-ba tacklers an are working hard tc per feet their interference
 toach Gearv is also perfac.ing d de- fense against the open style of play. Santa Ana's ability to stoot forward passes was one of the determining factors in the big game here two weeks ago.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2o.-The championship Award Sweepstakes. final event on the 1916 A. A. A. cham pionship calendar. will be run at 150 miles.
 This was decided when Chairman Richard Kennerdell of the 4. A. A. contest board and Manager Jack Grif- fin of the Ascot Speedway conferred and decided that 200 miles, the dis tance originally slated. was a bit too long
 It was also decided that an even hundred miles was q bit too short, so the middle distance was chosen
 kennerdell viewed Ascot Speedway for the first time last week. and was agreeably surprised with the concrete track and the general equipment of the Los Angeles plant He announced that the course was extremley safe, and prGmised 10 become the leading one mile speedway of the entire country.
 The A. A. A. contest chief also ex- pressed the opinion that the Cham pionship Award Sweepstakes. the As cot feature for Thanksgiving Day, will provide the most exciting speedway clash in the history of the racing game. With all the country's leading pilots entered in the final brush of the sea son, nothing but a close and fast race can be loked for and all records for l50 miles on one mile tracks are ex- pected to fall.
