Alas, how are the mighty TALENT The

has dropped from the high pinnacle
which he was prone TO occupy like some
wondrous final of artistic make up.
Todhunter Sloane, premier Of Jockeys,
breaker of feminine English hearts and
Of fat English betting rolls has de-
scended TO the ranks Of the chauffeurs.
Hereafter he will be known as an au-
tobuster. and the race tracks around
which he was wont to circulate shall
know him no more, at least for the
nonce.
Sloane's decision to take up automo-
bling came as surprise to most of his
friends and his real motive is not
known.
Tod Sloane should prove TO be a good
racing automobilist. He has had a
long career on the backs of the plunging
ponies both at home and abroad. and
his nerve is unquestioned. He will APP
pear in several automobile races at the
Pan-American exposition and is of the
opinion that he win break q few rec

says the English athletes have turned
toward the easier forms Of outdoor ex-
ercise, such as tennis and golf, which
he considers, as do many others, tame
IN comparison with the cricket and
football contests of their forefathers.
Regarding the coming Invasion OF
America by the oxford Cambridge

estimation it will not be so strong as

Race horse owners are divided into
TWO classcs-thOse Who race for pleas
ure and those who follow the turf for
their livelihood The man who races
horses solely to make money fails more
often than he succeeds. He rarely finds
the game a sport for kings except In
the sense that Il takes money king to
enjoy IT, There have been several In
stances where men starting life as
newsboys, bootbacks or stable bays
have risen to wealth through the me-
