My Play is the smartest horse
past three years old in training
and the possible winner of the first
Kentucky special, a $4,000 race of
one mile and three sixteenths that
will be instituted at Latonia in
October. He galloped one mile in
1886 20 at Saratoga. apd in 1896 40
on another. A giant in physique
he is up to weight of any sort and
he seems to be able to carry his
speed any distance
This son of Fair Play and Ma
lhubah belongs to Havre de Grace.
He trained over the local course
last spring and the spring before.
1t was here in April, 1922, that
he showed the quality that prompt
ed Edward F. Simms to send him
to Louisville for the forty eighth
Kentucky derby. He twisted an
ankle ins the running of that race
and became so lame he had to be
turned out year at Simms' Xalapa
farm in Bourbon county, Kentucky.
He came back to Havre de Grace
last February and relearned the
business of racing under the tute-
lage of James w. McClelland and
Roy Waldron. To the skill and pa
thence of these horsemen his re-
turn to winning form may be at

Some Criticisms.

AYOW that it is over, ring
~ writer's here and there are
offering their criticisms. It
is dollars to doughnuts that not
one of them had a single thought
in his head during that first
round last Friday night.
One says that Dempsey took adj
vantage of Firpo by hooking him
after the referee "broke" them
from their first clinch. That
hook, by the way, sent Firpo to
the floor for the first time.
One rather cautiously bIames
spectators at the ringside for
pushing Dempsey back into the
ring.
One blames Dempsey for strik-
ing Firpo three times after the
first round ended, though in the
next breath he says: "Things were
happening just a trifle too swiftly
for the human eye to follow"
This indicates his own possession
OF a superhuman eye.
Another blames Dempsey for
not at once moving "to a neutral
corner" when Firpo was fioored,
though the Argentinian took no
count whatever in five of his
seven trips to the floor, bounding
at once to his feet and leading a
wild charge against the champion.
The Washington times., 1923-09-17
It's a Rough Game.

DOCKING is a rough game. 1t
n is no parlor pastime, but
rugged conflict coming
down from the dim past, protected
only by understandable rules of
fairness.
Firpo is no weakling. 1t was not
his first appearance inside the
ropes last Friday night. He had
been thoroughly informed as to the
way the rules were construed in
New York State.
1t is fundamental in the ring
that each man protects himself
from bell to bell. When Referee
Gallagher "broke" the men from
their first clinch, Firpo's arms
dropped, Dempsey's did not. And
the moment they were "broke," the
champion hooked Firpo, sending
him to the floor.
They say Firpo Cooked away to-
ward the referee, as though not
understanding him." That's the
bunk. He knew he was in a clinch
and that Gallagher was "breaking"
it. He also knew, from previous

THE GRAY CHARTERS. BY
Robert Simpson. New York:
James A. Mccain Company.
THE life of the African trader
is wildly depicted in Robert
Simpsons latest book, which is
somewhat of . sequel to bis
1.-The Bite df Benin and other
African tales. In the Gray Char
teris, Mr.. Simpson puts mys-
terious character into life that
serves as a foil to tighten the tale
Of British traders in the region
where a white man is looked upon
with awe.
Hugh Morrison, head Of the
African trading firm of Marsden
& Co., while on a tour of his
trading posts in African rivers
aboard his yacht, is murdered.
The deed is done while Morrison
is pacing the deck and his daugh-
ters and crew are within earshot
of him. No one sees the killing,
but the killing of a white man in
that part of the world is SEN
sation that. is seldom heard OF.
Morrison has recently concluded
negotiations with a powerful CHER
to force a minor chief, who is
rapidly coming to the fore, out OF
African trade. Suspicion at once
is fastened upon the chief who
was to be driven out Of the
trade"
The British police officials
start out to find the chief and
the Gray Charters, white man.

means of locornotion a canoe,
such as is only used by a ma
tive, enters the scene. The fear
lessness of the Gray Charters,
whom the natives call the gray
man who never hurried" and his
power over the. natives puzzles
the British police, acquainted as
they are with the ways of the
natives.
A war between the tribes or
the powerful chief and his COM
petitor follows, in which the en-
tire country takes part and the
Gray Charters as a final conclu-
sion to the story brings to the
British police officials not onTy
the evidence as to who killed TIE
British trader. but also delivers
the murderer.
Several romances are scattered
throughout the action relieving
MANY of the, sordid scenes and
keeping the narrative from being
too much like story of British
