THE STRUGGLE FOR THE CUP
TEARAWAY was in the Doncaster Cup on the concluding day of the meeting, but Fred Erickson was not well enough to ride, although on the course.
Picton said nothing to his brother about Dr. Elroy. Hector had rather a serious wordy encounter with Fletcher Denyer, who called him nasty names, and plainly said he had willfully deceived him about Tearaway. Hector spoke his mind freely, saying he had no wish to see him again.
"If you think you've seen the last of me, you're mistaken," said Fletcher. "I owe you a bad turn and I'll repay it, I always do."
Hector laughed as he walked away. He told Lenise Elroy of the encounter.
"You must choose between us," he said. "I have no desire to meet him at your flat."
"You can easily guess which I shall choose," she said.
