OtdIter teISusOn Certainly Will make
very few friends out here by trying in the
East to injure the reputation of that
clever jockey Johnny Weber He has
always been antag0nistic to Weber, and
because the press and the people huwled
when he dashed him with a whip at the
starting post last spring, he tells the
people of the East through the Chicago
Post that Weber can't finish little bit.
The people out here have a different
opinion of Webber's ability than MIR.
Ferguson. Weber. like every one else,
has his faults in riding, but all who have
seen him ride out here are firmly set in the
opinion that he Is very strong finiSher.

course:
"a starter on the Pacific Slope is COM
PEELED to take more from the jockeys in
one race than starter would stand in

Weber. like Jimmie Lamley, can make a
TOOL of starter quicker than most boys
can dismount. Weber will get a clutch
| upon his rens, when on the extreme out
side, and appear to be interested but lit

feet control of his mount. This position,
with his control of a line OF vision. places
him where he can foresee the fall of the
about to drop it. and whizz, the rowells go
into the horses side, the animal starts
off, then the flag falls, and as result you
have Webber at the head.
"These are Lamley's arts. and no has

Starter Caldwell. Weber can't finish in
