TRoUBLEsoME LITTLE JOCKS.
The Corruption OF the Jockies one OF
the uncertainties of Racing.

the uncertainties of Racing.
From the Brooklyn Eagle
The trouble with the jockies has begun
unusually early this year. 1t is always
difficult for me to understand why the boys
do not behave themselves better in view OF
the great opportunities offered them by the
rapid development of racing recently. An
Ignorant stable boy If be has any knowledge
or horse, can make more money than the
majority of college bred professional men.
LII the Lad has any special degree OF skill in
riding he can run his income up to $4,000
or $1,000 year. The trouble is that the
nrst success, as a rule, turns the boys
head, so that he needs the closest sort
OF watching and espionage from that
time on. The jockey who attracts
attention by reason of his clever riding is as
sure of an approach from the bookmakers'
satellites as he is of an offer of superior
mounts. The corruption of the Jockey is
often counted in as one OF the glorious I'M
certainties of racing. The boys do not go
at their work seriously. Probably they
make their money too easily. The amount
of hero worship to which they are subjected
at times is amusing. The spectacle OF
little negro jockey with a very big cigar in
his mouth, u profusion of diamonds scat
tered over his somewhat meager person,
strolling about, while groups of overdressed
and worshipful sporting men surrounded
him, is common one in New York.

High Winds and a Heavy Rainfall Pr,


High Winds and Heavy Rainfall Pre-
dicted for Day.
The yellow pennant fioated all day yester-
day from the flagstaff of the signal service
office, warning the people that a storm of
some severity was working this way, and
the day was cold, windy and generally dis
agreeable, and so uncomfortable at Tybee
that many who attended the picnic of the
Wesley Monumental church on the island
came home on the early afternoon train at 4
O'Clock. The sea was rough, and Numbered
on the beach, and the wind blew great guns.
A cyclone developed in the eastern gulf
night before last, and the cyclonlc disturb
ance was central in North Florida last
night, and moving slowly ENTHUSIASTICALLY.
The wind attained velocity of twenty-six
miles at Jacksonville and Pensacola last
night and yesterday, and e heavy rainfall

of water fell at Point Jupiter, and AZ
inches at Jacksonville. No casualties are

Savannah is on the edge of the wave, and
strong easterly winds, of probably twenty
five miles velocity, and heavy rains are pre-
dicted for Savannah and vicinity to-day.
The temperature will be below the normal

but choppy weather may be expected dur

Burned the Rat That Gnawed His
Clothes.

ClOLleS.
Antonio Martina, a sinister-looking Ital-
ian, was a prisoner at the Tombs police
court, says the New York Tribune, charged
with the unusual offense of roasting rat to
death. He lives at No. 40 Mulberry street,
and surprised the other inhabitants of the
house by setting fire to huge rat, which he
had saturated with benzine, while it was
confined in trap in the yard of the build
ing. When the blaze had enveloped the rat
completely. MARITIME opened the door of the
trap and the animal made several wild cir
cults of the yard before finally dropping
lifeless. The cremation was perfect, for the
blaze continued until only few ashes re-
manned of the rat. MARITIME was arrested
soon afterward. He grinned in self-satis-
fed fashion when arraigned before Justice
O'Reilly, and seemed proud of his act.
YOU'RE charged with setting fire to an
animal" said the magistrate. "What
have you to sayF'
'Mea burma rat, YAH" replied the Gull
prit. HE eat up my suita clo' and I ketcha

''He devoured your clothessn asked Jus

Five hundred dollars bail to answer in

told the officer to send word of the case to
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals.
MARITIME went to his cell laughing
broadly.

The Postponemento of the League Con

LINCOLN, NEB., May 29.-President John
Fitzgerald of the Irish National League re-
ceived the following cablegram this after
noon:
LONDON, May 29. 1920
Your action postponing the convention has
my entire approval, and if the cablegram had
reached me in time should have advised the
recent meeting of council. PARNELL
President Fitzgerald is in constant COM
munication with the Irish leader, and is
earnestly urging the necessity of conven-
ton of the American league. Mr..
Parnel expresses the fullest conf
dence IN the loyalty of the present natio al
officers, but the attacks upon the organiza-
tion are causing him grave anxiety, because
he fears that it is the aim of Others in the
country to try and get the league entirely
under their control for objects not favora-
BILE to the Irish cause. President Fitzgerald
is trying to convince the Irish leaders that
while the factionists may be noisy they are
in a small minority of Irelaud's friends in
America. He hopes to be able at an early
date to name definite time for the con-
