Jimmy Michael declares that the race
OF New Years Day with Bald will be
his last. This statement reca lis the story
that the little fellow may turn jockey
for the remainder OF his athletic da vs., and
buy Up few horses Of his own. 1t has
been reported tnat several OF the prominent
horse-owners, in appreciation OF his gen
eralship on the track, have offered him
mounts for the coming season. Michael 5
natural weight is well within ia. jockey
limit, and he can train down with ease
to ninety or ninety-five pounds. The little
man would undoubtedly have the ned J,
with years experience on American tracks.
He stands today as the greatest cycle
track general in the country, il not i'll
tie world. A horse in bunch is a
decidedly different proposition frofu even
a mass Of single and pacing machines
whirling around uine-iap track, but there
are many who think the little man apabIe
Of holding his own, should he decide TO
follow the game.
