Trainer McCafferty tells how easy 1t
weuld be for a heavy bettor to influence
Jockeys through the medium of gift to
one jockey. "A man does not have to
control boy or ask him to commit a
fraudulent act" said McCafferty. "All
he would have to do would be to say
to a boy riding a horse. If you win l
will give you $3000.' The boy accepts.
There are probably only two apparent
contenders in the race. The boy VINO
has accepted the offer will at once inter-
view the jockeys who ride the two con-
tending horses. and it is possible for
them to link their chances together to
win the $4,000 offered. don't say that
the Jockeys would pull their mounts to
allow the named horse to win, but 1t Is
lust among the possibilities that they
would pull out from the fence and give
the boy who had been offered the money

Smith has way Of putting things

outnumbering the boys In all gradu-

superior training and argued that
something was radically wrong. He
commended that the fault was in the

paid to developing the better side OF
the human nature OF the boys-too
much encouragement to the theory
that anything was good enough for
the boys. The boy needed sympathy
as much as the girl, and ii was seldom
that he got it. He related his own
experiences in early manhood, to the
amusement of his hearers. He plead.
