to embody all the tenets of what not
to do. That was at the start. Since
then many competent observers have
declared that Hans Wagner was the
greatest ball player who ever lived.
Then there was another powerful
fellow who played golf. He lurched
at the ball, he was off balance, he did
a few other things wrong Tor so the
styists said) each time he went around
a course. His name was Ted Ray. He
won the British open championship in
1912 and the American open eight
years later, feat that few of the
pretty-as-a-pictu golfers ever accom-
pIished. He knew that he was doing
things wrong but it suited him, and the
results indicate that he was right.

Greb Did Everything

There also was Harry Greb. Few

won the middleweight championship

big-money class and more often than
not was called upon to defeat oppo-
nents who outweighed him from 10 TO

He never was a puncher, able 70

freak named Bob Fitzsimmons. Largely
Greb won because his only claim to

it was the time when he beat Gene
Tunney-sIapping, wrestling, hauling,
doing everything wrong.
Time after time he started punches
with his left, shifted in mid-air and
landed with his right instead. To lead
with your right is to disregard one or
the strictest canons of the ring. When
you do that you lay yourself open to
knockout, and l am not advising any
one to try it. Yet, Greb did it that
night, as upon many other occasions,
and-he got away with 1t. Later L

and made the usual bromide statement
about his doing everything wrong.

"Now. Clint you just ride on into
town and get the doctor back here as
soon as you can. OF course I'm

Silver still breathed heavily, so it
hadn't been so long. Swung on into
the road. his hoofs beat steadily. His
heart was willing to the core. But no
animal could stand to run seventeen
miles on top of long days ride. Be-
hind we're six years of hard riding

three or four. What was it Teed had

Silver lost it. Clint heard the iron
strike off into the boulders along the
roads edge. But the canon was finally
breaking, melting into the fiat flow
of valley land. Clint slowed Silver to a
trot, little breathing spell. and then
he was going on.
Alkali dust rose under hoof and
mingled with the sweaty flesh smell.
The dust hung fine as powder along
the fiat road behind. a long gray snake
in the starlight. The alkali strip was
five miles from town. Silver's legs
were no longer under him. the way

dogged, labored. But his great heart
still swelled and beat, carrying him
on.
Barbed wire fences began to line the
road. From a distance came the steady
pound of a pumping plant, throwing
up water to irrigate the fields of
alfalfa that edged the town OF Baker.
The road turned. Houses rose up and
lined it.
Doc Shaw lived in rooms above his
office, a block and a half down street
from here The doctor kept his car
in a vacant shed of the livery stable
just around the next corner, and Clint
said:
tits all right now, Silver, if you
want to quit. It's all right, boy"
He put hand on the horses name.
He could feel the shakiness in Silver's
stride, slowing to turn into the stable.
A stableboy was coming with a lam

said. Then rub down this horse.

Oack, silver got up on Snaky ilmDS,
reins tangled. and stood there with
tremulous quivers in his flanks. Teed
was trying to brush the dirt from the
back of his collar.
Teed didn't say anything. By the
time old Jake and the two riders had
finished putting the steers through the
gate into the holding pasture Teed
had cleaned himself off and was back
in the saddle. They logged across to
the Circle Bar yards in silence.

"What - what you aim to do with

Teed swung around. as though he
had happened toremember something.
you always had liking for that
palomino, how much was it you once
offered me for him. Clint?"

Teed Wheeler turned toward the
house. well, if you still want him.
Clint, I'm through. I'm givin him to
you," Teed explained. "Now l got to
get cleaned up and drive into town"
After six years. -.
Alongside the cutoff trail that wove
over the hills from Circle Bar to Cha
misal Flat a little spring had been
rocked up by passing riders to make
a waterhole, and Clint dismounted
here. Clint had left the roam in Teed's
corral for the night. He was taking
Silver home. After so long a while, it
seemed just the same. Clint talked
softly to the animal, the way he had
used to talk to the four -year-old colt
in breaking pen.
Out of the cup of valley that shell
tered Circle Bar he saw the squirting
line of dust that rose behind Teed's
car and pointed like an arrow for
town. But the light was fading now.
Clint wouldn't have wanted the riders
to see the softie thing he did. He
pulled saddle and, wringing out his
bandana in the spring, rubbed the
dirt-caked lather and sweat from Sill
ver's back and TANKS. His blunt, work.
calloused fingerscombed down through
the ashen silver of the horses fore
top. lingering on satiny nostrils. and
Silver's head nosed against him.
The trail climbed on above the
spring. Clint resaddled, but now he
walked in his high-heeled boots just
to save the horse Big stars popped out
over the rims above, but Clint didn't
notice. In high-heeled boots that
turned and chafed his feet at every
step he was walking on stars, bring
ing his Silver horse home finally.
A yellow square of window was
bright before him as Clint came through
the upper gate. and here he mounted
because he wanted to ride in on Silver.
Despite day-long labor under Teed,
Silver struck into his quick running
walk.
Clint reined beside the porch. But
he didn't call to Mary as he had
planned. What took him out of saddle,
then, Clint never knew till he stood
inside the room beyond.
MARY - r he said.
Her face was whittier than he had
ever seen before. her eyes large and
scared.
"Oh, Clint" she said. Its the
baby"
Then she tried to smile. I'D thought
maybe Mrs. Barlow would drive up
this afternoon. But she didn't. 1t
seemed like you'd never come"
He was thinking: Teed had the
only car at Circle Bar. 1t would take
him half an hour to ride the five miles
down to the Barlow place. Longer for
