Eve flung herself on him. She
pressed her slight shoulder to his,
trying to make him advance. She
caught up a stake and beat him. She
took stones and pounded his flanks.
She cried and ragged at him. He was
too scared yet to be angry. He
plunged forward at last. the broad
band strained across his mighty
muscles, narrowed, curled at the
edges. It did not break. Back in
the earth, Lehman held to the ropes.
His sinews seemed as If they must
crack. He groaned. Eve urged the

to her with hesitant steps. He
stretched out his hand, but did not
touch her. He was fighting for
words. Something in his strength
and his trouble brought the tears to
Ewes eyes.

She had now a broad band OF home
spun with a good ten feet OF queer
rope tied on at each end. She tested
it once or twice. 1t was strong. She
tied sticks to each end. The bull was
near her. cowed by the terror of the
night. She struck him suddenly on
the flank, and he wheeled with his
back to Lehman. She slipped the
broad band of homespun across his
chest. The ends she managed to toss
to Lehman. The sticks fell within his
reach, he drew them toward him ard
twisted the ropes round his hands.
This frightened the lines. The bull
felt the pull of them and swung un-
certainly. The band slipped on his
chest. He backed, snorting.

KENTUCKY TRAINS FOR 'BAMA GAME.
Wildcats Settle Down To Hard Work Following
 Centre Defeat

LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov. 5.--(Spe- cial. )-The University of Kentucky Wildcats settled down today for an other week of steady work, this time in preparation for the coming game with the University of Alabama next Saturday afternoon.
 Notwithstanding the defeat admin istered to the Cats by the Centre col lege Colonels Saturday, they went to work with vim and seemed deter mined to make up for their lack of teamwork against Centre. Interfer- ence especially was stressed by the wildcats mentor, for that was one thing the Kentucky boys displayed very little of.
 None of the Kentucky players were injured and all of them are now in the best of condition for the first time this season. Last season the Kentucky boys surprised the visit ing Alabama eleven with a 6 to O defeat, and they are out to do the same thing again this year.
 Some of the scrubs who consti- tuted the Centre" team in practice, were put to work on the formations displayed by Alabama, and from now Tuesday the varsity will get the benefit of the experience of stopping these plays.
 Nothing Is known of the positions the men will occupy and some of them are expected to be in positions they have never before filled.

ADMIRAL CRIMSON
 ASKS RACE AGAIN
Believes My Own Will Get His Chance During The
 PimIic0 Meetinu

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Not com blaming. nor questioning the ability Of In Memtriam. the Kentucky horse that finished ten lengths ahead of his colt. My Own, in Saturday's s5o,000 Latonia championship, Ad- miral Cary T. Grayson, still looks forward to true test of heart and class between My Own and Zev. Admiral Grayson believes this test will come before the end of the Pin- lico meeting for which both horses are now bound in express cars from Cincinnati. where they entrained after their mutual defeat by In Memoriam in the muddy going at Latonia.
 Because of the rain at Latonia, Admiral Grayson said. his trainer W. F. Burch conceded the defeat of My Own before the horses went to the barrier. The Admiral rejected Burch's proposal that My Own be withdrawn, because he believed the customers had paid their money in the expectation of seeing My Own en the racr
