Arthur Postle
- ... that when Australian sprinter Arthur Postle lost the 1907 semi-final sprint at Kalgoorlie to J. Condon, he carried on running, hopping a fence, to a bookmaker to bet on Condon winning the final?

The article is well written and interesting. It is long enough and there are no apparent copyright violations or close paraphrasing. There is inline citations throughout. The hook is short enough, is interesting, and is in the article. Only one citation is online, but assuming good faith it is good to go.
