CHAPTER w
Clay Takes a Transfer.


While Beatrice Whitford waited in
the little library for the Arizonan
to join her, she sat in deep chair,
chin in hand, eyes fixed on the jetting
flames of the gas-log. A little flush
had crept into the oval face. In her
blood there tingled the stimulus of ex-
element. For into her life an adven-
ture had come from PARKWAY Cattle
land
A crisp, strong fOotstep sounded in
the hall. Her fingers flew to pat into
place the soft golden hair coiled low
at the nape of the neck. At times she
had a boylike unconcern of sex; again,
spirit wholly feminine.
The clothes of her father fitted
Lindsay loosely, for Colin Whitford
had begun to take on the flesh Of mid
die age and Clay was lean and clean
of build as an elk. But the westerner
was one OF those to whom clothes are
unimportant. The splendid youth of
him would have shone through the
rags of beggar.

her by way of Introduction.

answered.
They shook hands.

Within five minutes she knew that
he had been In New York less than

city amused and entertained her. He

his mind as though 1t were a deep

extinguishably boyish and buoyant
about him. But in his bronzed face
and steady, humorous eyes were
strength and shrewdness. He was the
last man in the world bunco-steerer
could play for a sucker. She felt that.
Yet he made no pretenses Of a worldly
wisdom he did not have.
A voice reached them from the top
of the stairs.
"Do you know where Miss Whitford
is, Jenkins?"
"Hin the Red room, SIR" The an

of servant.
The girl rose at once. "If you'll ex-

Big Field of Stars
To Strive for u. s.
Athletic FEonors

A glance over the names of some of
the, athletes who will compete for ma
tional junior championship titles at
Weequahic Park tomorrow afternoon
should be sufficient to convince the
most critical athletic fan that the nine
teen events on the program will pro-
duce some of the finest competition
witnessed hereabouts this year
For instance, the sprint events will
bring together sucn flyers as Bob Nc
Allister and Bernie Wefers, whose
achievements in sprinting events are
we'll known in the metropolitan dis
trict; Clarence McKim, who scored for
Princeton in the intercollegiate cham
pionships, and Carl Altmaier, one of
the speediest sprnters of the Penn
team.
The outstanding stars in the quar-
ter-mile will be C. A. Cochran, of Mis-
sssippi A. and M. College, and Douglas
Fessenden, of the University of Illi-
nois, both of whom have records of 40
seconds for 440 yards.
G. M. Marsters, of Georgetown, will
sport the unicorn emblem of the Bos-
ton A. A. in the half mile. Alex
Brewster, another Georgetown star,
now competing for the Bloomfield C. L.;
w. o. Spencer, of Mississippi A. and
M. College, and George Nolan, of the
New York A. c., are some of the other
prominent entrants in the half.

for Shelburne to do anything but fol-
low, and Nelson scored. At the end of
the chukker David Miles made beau
tiful single-handed run the length Of
the field, but missed by few feet. So
great was his momentum that his pony
ran through the fence that bounds the
field twenty yards behind the goal.
Score: Argentine, Z; Shelburne, /.
The ball was thrown on near the
Shelburne goal and the melee had
hardly been worked away from the side
lines before J. Miles drove it through
the posts. Then Shelburne staged a
fierce rally and Webb tailed from a
melee near Argentines goal. On the
next play Stoddard flashed three quar-
ters the length of the field for beau
tiful single handed tally. Then Argen-
tine took the aggressive, and after the
team had worked the ball down with
fine cooperation D. Miles drove it over
the goal line. Score: Argentine, 8;
Shelburne, 3.
Belmont Scores Two Goals
The ball was knocked in from behind
Argentine's goal, but the South Ameri-
cans worked it right down to the Shell
burne goal. Sioddard picked it up,
however, and ran it back in brilliant
form, riding off j. Miles as the goal was
approached SO that BelmOnt could come
through free for score. Strawbridge
failed to convert a foul called on the
visitors. but in the ensuing melee Bel
mont threaded his way through the
press for tally. An Argentine attack
stopped when Larry's horse tripped and
went down. Score: Argentine, 8; Shell
burne, S.
Again Argentine forced the playing
at the same time conducting it's own
offensive and breaking up the Shell
burne attacks Finally Larry found the
ball clear in the middle of the field and
galloped down for an easy goal. Again
Argentine got away with d rush and
D. Miles scored. Then Shelburne found
itself for moment took the ball down
and Belmont scored. Score: Argentine

The reason is a new angle of the ever
fomenting and fermenting State Ath-
letic Commission as voiced by Chair
man William Muldoon. 1t was Mr..
Muldoon who insisted upon driving
Dempsey into match with the giant
negro, Wills. Now, it would appear, he
is anxious to drive the battle else
where, for Mr.. Muldoon practically for
bade the match in this state yesterday,
when he announced the terms under
which his commission would issue a
license to promote glove contest of
such Importance
1t will be required of the lucky--or
is it unlucky promo before he can
proceed with the matching Of the cham
pions of the white and Black races to
post forfeit of $250,000 with the State
Athletic Commission as a guaranty of
good faith in carrying out certain con-
ditions. One condition is an arena
that will accommodate (without crowd
ing) no less than 100000 spectators.
Of these 100000 redblooded sportsmen
at least 10000 must be provided with
opportunity to visit the fracas at gen.
eral admission rates not to exceed 50 a
head.
There is no arena, structure, edifce,
'drome or other appurtenance or fix
ture, indoor or outdoor, in the Empire
State at present capable of accom-
modating anywhere near 100000 per-
sons. The Polo Grounds is by far the
largest available arena, and as fight
club its capacity is only slightly over
$4,000. The new Yankee Stadium, when
completed, might fill the bill; but it is
far from completed, and for it. the
fight would have to wait another year.
1t seems somewhat impracticable to
think of moving down Yale Bowl for
the occasion.
M Muldoon was very emphatic yes
terday that neither he nor the commits
sion had any prejudices against mixed
bouts. Indeed, he could not with grace
take any other stand, as it was he who
forced Dempsey into accepting Wills's
challenge. But Mr.. Muldoon is of the
opinion that unless commercialism
we've somewhat curbed in a match of
this nature, so that the common man
would have show FOR his white alley,
it would stir up such reaction of re-
sentiment as to jeopardize the future
of the sport in the commonwealth and
indeed throughout the nation. Mr.
Muldoon intimated that he had heard
that Dempsey spurned one clubs offer
of 371a per cent and held out re-
ligiously for a fiat rate of $500,000.
The attitude of Mr.. Muldoon has in
