THE JOCKEYS LIFE
A Dangerous Calling Where
Accidents Are Frequent.
BUT 1T IS VERY FASCINATING.

A Few Points on How n Jockey Lives,
How He Rises to Eminonce in His
ProfessIon-rheir Pay.
OF the thousands who have enjoyed the
races how many nave ever stopped to think
Of the jockeysi OF course they take pains to see
what good jockeys are going toride, but who
has stopped to think about the difficulties
and dangers Of their calling and the lives
they have to leadf
How do they happen to become jockeysi
Well, that question Is easily answered,
says The Chicago Tribune. They generally
graduate from the position of stable boy, al.
though some are regularly educated for the
business There are families born and
brought up Sin the stables" as one might say.
The father is connected with some racing
stable in some capacity, and his children
from their infancy ave been accustomed to
the handling of horses. They have been con-
stantly around them and know all their
tricks Long before they are in their "teens"
they are thoroughly acquainted with the
methods of the different jockeys, and IL the
conditions are favorable they aspire to ride a
race themselves.
One Of the first requisites, however, is that
of weight. The boy must be small, of
course, or he has no chance Of becoming a
Jockey. Then he must also be quick, daring
and Intelligent. He must be quick both in
Judgment aud action; there Is no time to
consider a matter when riding a race. He
must be quick to see his chances and quick
to take advantage of them, for the jockey is
not a mere machine to guide the horse. BY
able riding many an inferior animal has
been brought under the wire first.
The first thing a would be Jockey has to do
is to ''gallop" the horses. That is, having
worked around the stables until he Is 12 or
IA years old, or perhaps older, he Is allowed
to take a horse out for exercise. He gallops
him around the track to warm him up, and
is perhaps allowed to run him -three-quarters,
a mile or a mile and a quarter, as the case
may be, to see what he can do. II the boy Is
Of proper weight and shows intelligence the
owner may decide to give him a trial mount.
The first horse that he rides Is probably
''out simply for exercise" there be ag no e1-
pectation that he win win the race; but the
jockey Is closely watched. II he rides with
fair skill and Judgments great allowance
Is always made for the excitement of a first
race-he is given another mount and then
his success depends entirely upon himself-he
Is fairly In the field, and his own skill alone
will advance him toe point where he can set
bis OWL price for riding.

BASE HITS.

Cincinnati has signed Ed Blgh, the New
Orleans catcher.
Manager Barnie, of Baltimore, has been
trying to buy one of the Louisville batteries,
and offered 5000 for Cross and Cham ber-
lain, or 80, 800 for Ramsey and Kerins. Pres
ident Davidson said this sum wouldn't touch
them, and that the two players would re-
main with his team under all circumstances
Buster" Hoover, the long legged heavy
hitter that Harry Wright expected SO much
Of early in the season, is now with the Al
bany club.
Ewing is said to draw $500; O'Rourke,
$500; Conner, $500; Keefe, $4,000; WEIGH,
1880; George, $500; Titcomb, $500;
Murphy, 1900; Crane, s9, 800; Collins, o., ZOO;

terry, $780,; Tiernan, 81 5000; Foster, $4,000;
Brown, 81 800. Total, $59, 800.
Pfeffer, Williamson and Burns have signed
with Spalding for the Australian trip. The
contracts date from the close of the League
season to April Is, 1889. 1t is thought that
one or two of the other Chicago players will
go, probably Van Haltren and Daley.
Fogarty, of the Philadelphia club, Is also
spoken of. and Collins, OF the Louisville club.
John Ward and others, of the New York
club, have been spoken to.
Catcher Bart Cantz has been released by
st. Louis.
1t is reported that Richardson, Detroit's
great second baseman, may be unable to play
again this season. This would bel sad blow
to Detroit's chances of winning the pennant,
rs well as bad news to the lovers of the game
throughout the country.
1t is said by Cincinnati writer's that long
John Reilly, while being one OF the most in
~telllgent and best educated men in the pro-
~fession, is still one OF the most superstitious.
John is a firm believer in hoodoos, Jonahs
and mascots. What a jolly mate for Fritz
Pfeffer he would make.
Cincinnati is talking of organizing a re-
serve team.
Valentine has withdrawn his resignation
as umpire. He says he proposes to stick I'M
til removed by President Young, and that
he will see that Arson behaves like a gentle
man in all games he umpires.
Buffalo, Syracuse and Toledo are anxious
to get into the American association, and
some one of them will likely take the place Of
Kansas City next season.
At his own request Dan Brouthers has been
dropped to third position on the batting list.
He is doing his level best to hit the ball, and
is bound to get there before long,
Ezra Sutton is now playing third base for
the Rochester club of the international asso-
citation.
Tom Flood, of Houston, Tex, is q good
pitcher, and the Cincinnati club is after him.
Manager Hackett, Of Syracuse, has adopted
a good idea. When the official score card has
the names of two players on 1T for the same
position he asks the umpire to announce the
changes for the day to the crowd.

skn than it docs to keep a set Of double
entry books. A close view of a start with q
large field will afford more interest than al
most any other part of a race. A good
jockey must be able not only to ride we'll at
the finish, but he must be able to start well,
and one Is as much of an art as the other.
He not only must nave eyes for his OWE
spirited horse, but he must watch all the
other horses in the race, and pay attention to
tho starter that he may pull his horse up as
soon as possible on a false start. 1t requires
a quickness of perception that rivals that of
a trader on the Board of Trade.
TIL pay Of a jockey Is s25 for a winning
mount" and $40 for a losing, in the east,
but at Washington Park the pay Is less, be-
ing s15 for winning and IS for losing. In
other words, the jockey gets IS for riding the
horse and $40 more II he wins the race. This,
however, does not apply to the best Jockeys.
When one gets a reputation he naturally de-
clines to ride for such figures, knowing he
can command higher. Many OF them get
300 for a winning mount and S25 for a los
ing, and decline to ride for less. Most of the
best jockeys are under salary to ride for one
stable, reserving always the right to ride for
others when there are no entries from their
employer stables. In this way they can
d a good deal to their salaries in the course
of a year, and the salaries In many cases run
pretty well up into the Thousands.
Then there are the presents. When a
Jockey wins a valuable race he almost inva-
rtably receives a present, the present often
being bigger than an ordinary bookkeeper's
salary. MCCARTHY received a handsome
present when he broke the record on Dry
Monopole. 1t was up In the thousands OF
dollars. Tn winner Of the American Derby
has always received a handsome present to
add to his income. The presents do not al
ways come solely from the owner Of the
horse, for the turfmen who ave backed him
often contribute to the purse.
30 1t will be seen the successful Jockey
generally manages to keep the wolf from the
door.

GENERAL SPORTING GOSSIP.

We're Eugene Carter to play In the Sara
toga tournament Slosson might nave to ehal-
lehge him for the championship at the close
Of the tournament. In view OF that facti 1t
is well that the Saratoga tournament should
be one Of diplomacy and not billiards.
In a recent interview George r. Slosson
said to "a reporter On a Saratoga paper:
solve me a few days practice and / will
wager that I can make 10, 1000 points at the
straight rail game. can play it with my
eyes shut"
The date of holding the initial champion
ship meeting of the Amateur Athletic union
has been altered to Sept. 10. The change
has been made in order that the meeting
shall not clash with a league game of base
ball fixed to take place In Detroit on the
18th.
The Montreal Amateur Athletic association
has virtually got the management of the
amateur championships this fall, and pro-
poses getting a very large representation Of
American athletes.
A five mile swimming match over a one
mile course wal decided recently at Old
Orchard, Me-, the contestants being Professor
Thomas Riley and p. F. Mack. an Australian.
Riley beat his opponent by a minute. Time,

ON THE TURF.

The rumor that the Dryers are to sell their
stock in the Coney Island Jockey club Is true.
Mr.. Phil Dwyer says his brother and he felt
that they had been treated unfairly by that
club, but that their action does not imply a
conflict between the Brooklyn and Coney
Island clubs.
The sensational yearling, King Thomas,
purchased by Senator Hearst for $4O, 900, has
arrived at Stockwood stud, In Woodford
county, KY, where he will remain until fall.
The subscription to the $4,000 purse at
Rochester will amount to s18,O 900. The
money over the $4,000 will be used for a
consolation stake, to be given on the Last day
for the beaten horses.
Tho Argentine Republic, In South Amer
lea, PROMISES to open up a market almost
without limit for the American trotter.
Prince Wilkes will be George A. Singerly's
trump card In the Grand circuit this year.
Snapper" Garrison has been riding very
u~nluckily SO far this season. 1t is under
stood that he will not be attached to any
stable next season, preferring to ride bis own
horses and accept such outside mounts as he
may be able to obtain. At present his SER
vices are generally required by the Haggtn
stable In such races as he could otherwise
ride his own horses In.

And In regard to the calling. Every one
knows hat 1t Is dangerous. Accidents on
the race course are of frequent occurrence.
Every little while one reads OF a Jockey killed
or injured In some way. An arm or a leg or
q collar bone broken. 1t is no easy task to
guide a horse safely through the bunch in a
race. The slightest error Is apt to result in a
catastrophe, for it doesn't take much
to throw q horse off of his feet when
going at full speed. The slightest stumble
Is apt TO be disastrous, for others are tearing
along behind The Washington park meet
Ing has been singularly free from accidents
at this meeting, but there nave been disas-
ters In other years. Then there is the danger
In vicious mounts" and danger not only
from your os.n mount" but from others.
The training Of a jockey Is a good deal
Ike that of any athlete, except that the OBJ
jeob is rather to reduce the weight than to
gain strength. Dieting and Turkish baths
constitute the principal part of it. But ordi-
nariiy a jockey doesn't have to train down
until he gets to be about 25 years of age, and
some Of them not then. Mccarthy would
never get much heavier than he is If he lived
to be 100 years. But Murphy has to train

THE TARGET,

ter example for the young women of today.
In a recent number of Outing Magazine
Henry Chadwick dilates well upon the trials
Of learning the use of the bow. He SAYS
~''Standing in front of the archery target,
thirty yards distant, and watching the move
ments Of a practiced archer as he grasps
his bow, places his arrow in posi-
tion, and then, with comparative ease,
sends it flying into the center of the
gold of the target; the whole proceeding,
with its final result, looks so simple, so easy
of attainment that a casual observer would
be apt to think the sport rather too much Of
the nature of boys play for men to engagein
It But when the novice tries his hand at
, 1888-08-05

in your left hand, as IL 1t were In the grip of
a wise, is the first letter OF the archer's alpha
bet. The second Is 10 bend your bow to.the
arrows properly and the third Ia to loose the
cord from the finger of your right hand at
the opportune moment when your mind is
bent ON the target. This is the A B G Of
archery. Then comes the placing OF the arrow
In position, seeing that ID is 'nocked' In the
right place on the string; that the cook
feather is uppermost, that the tips OF
your fingers arc rightly placed on the cord.
When tho right form for all these details
has been attained by the familiarity OF con-
slant practice, and they have become a regu-
lar habit with you In handling your bow,
then you will be fully prepared for the men
tai study Of the situation, and then begins
the headwork Of archery, SO to speak, and
Just as you are able to excel in this will you
become a sdllful archer. How to stand at
ease while using your bow Is quite an i'm
portant matter, that Is, to stand in a posi-
ton that feels natural and uncon-
trained You do not face the tar
get as you nre required to do when
shooting with a rife, but with the
left side of your face turned 30 as to look
over your left shoulder. To stand firm is the
main object, so as to avoid any varying of
the steady position Of the left arm as IT Is eI-
ueHueui VIII your manu- rhspLnB the DOW.
At first tho novice will find this hxed posi-
tion somewhat irksome, but practice and
habit will make it familiar
Archery is gaining a firmer foothold in
this country all the time, and the number of
ladies engaged in 1t ia constantly increasing.
1t bids fair to become Il rival Of tennis. The
present lady champion of the country is Mrs.

association in Washington.

the barrel, and take deliberate aim at your
target. In doing this, the steadier your
nerve the truer your aim. But with the bow
it is altogether different. EIere the mental
work to be done is everything. In archery
the word aim IN the familiar sense applied
to a rifle is inapplicable. Experience teaches
the practiced archer TO aim with his mind,
as it were. = To hold your bow firmly

One thing that calls for both skill and
Judgment in the jockey Is generally over
looked by the public. It Is the start. One
sits In the grand stand or on the club house
balcony, and sees them moving around near
the sterling point, and finally hears the cry
They're off,
That Is the last he thinks about it But be

their faces and note the jealous way they
watch each other. He should see how they

Some Hints on How to Draw the
bow,

To write a complete history of archery
would take one almost as far back as to write
a history of the world. The bow and arrow
were the principal weapons of offense and
defense of the earliest race of man, and con-
tinued to be, in various forms, until the IN
vention of gunpowder. 1t seemed to be a
natural weapon, for every race, no matter
how simple or savage, has invente 1t for
themselves, Independently d all others.
