"ANY DISTANCE ANY STAKE."

Phar Lap's Challenge to the World.

A SECOND ST. SIMON.

The most direct challenge ever Issued to the English racing world was cabled to the Dally Express recently.

It was a message from Australia which read as follows:-

"Will race any horse you send over within six months, any dis- tance, any amount. "Davis."

The sender was Mr. D. 8. Davis, a noted Sydney sportsman, and the purpose of his challenge was to ex- press his readiness.to match his wonder horse Phar Lap against the greatest horse, whether stayer or merely sprinter, that England or the rest of the world can produce.

Phar Lap whose name is a Cingalese word meaning lightning, has already done more than make history in Australia.

Won £46,000.

A four-year-old chestnut gelding, he has won $46,000 in stake money. He has been shot at by hooligans. on the eve of the Melbourne Cup, Australia's greatest turf event, and in return not only celebrated the attack on his life by taking the Cup with consummate ease, but by winning three other races during the meeting.

I wish our legislators would go out and examine the conditions. abroad as I have done; they would at least realise that football has become world's game far beyond their conception.

It is futile to blink the facts, and the sooner some definite policy is adopted in regard to inter- national matches and tours the safer our position will be.

- Some official of the F. A. Council, and even members of the sub-committee who deal with the question, would stand aloof from the development of the game in other countries, or, at least, out- alde the Empire. In my opinion, that is impossible. Football popu- larity is due to our missionary

efforts.

Are we going to stand aside now? At least we, the clubs, should know definitely what the programme is to be.

Clubs Not Consulted. Isco the Football Asociation intend to send another representa→ tive team to Canada next summer, but the clubs who must supply the players have not been consulted in regard to it.

These tours are very important from the point of view of the clubs, and, as a matter of courtesy, they should have been invited to express their views in respect of this trip to Canada. The players we lend are subjected to risks, and I do not see how there is to be adequate. compensation in the event of any untoward happening.

Lucky Insurance. Shaffield Wednesday actually in- sured their men who went to play for the Football Association on the Continent last May, paying the premium out of their own pocket, and the unlucky Marsden has not been able to play for them since.
