HOW BOYS ARE TRAINED
WHO RIDE RACE HORSES

When boy enters a jockey school, he
shuts the world behind him, like nun
that walls herself within convent.
All energy of body and soul is conse-
Grated to his craft. To him life means
the clank of the bride, the hoof thud,
the smell of straw and the bookmak-
er's cry. He never learns anything un-
related to this life. OF a dozen stable
boys found only two, says Allen Sam
gree, that could name the governors of
their respective states. Most of them
believed Roosevelt to be simply rough
rider and knew him as Teddy. Only
one could tell me his present office.
What they do develop is a savage
grit that lets them nudge death famil-
iarly with smiling face, a forearm
and leg of flexible steel and wits I'M
naturally keen on single line, and
also that pitiful legacy of the veteran
trainer-crabbed age of mind behind
baby face. You have the living pic
ture of it all in 14-year-old Johnny
Reiff, who earns in year more than
dozen college professors.
The early training of a Jockey is
thorough, severe and relentless. The
boys sleep in a stable loft over the
| horses. Summer and winter they are
awakened at daybreak by groom
pounding on the boards. They jump
into their clothes, shivering in the early
mornings chill, and hurry to pump,
where a douse of cold water sweeps
away the cobwebs of sleep. Then to
the horses, and for two hours each boy
exercises his string" A string" con-

in doing chores. The afternoon they
spend at the track, and by o'clock in
the evening they must be abed. Plenty
of time is allowed them for recreation.
The trainers encourage the boys in
such sports as swimming, running and
ball playing. By constant practice of
open air diversions Tod Sloane has
maintained his excellent condition. To
this day he will leap a five foot fence
rather than go through the gate. Mar
bles is the favorite game of stable boys.

DEMAND FOR YIDDIsH ACTORS.

OEMAND nOh 1lOOASH ACTOHSs
The remarkable fact has been dis
closed that in one branch of the profess
sion the supply of actors is not equal
to the demand.
1t appears that since the opening of
the Hiddish theater in Chicago the Ri
alto of the ghetto has been well nigh
swept clean of unemployed players of
the better sort, and many of the man
ayers in Chicago are battling with each
other for possession of the few accom-
plished actors who have not as yet
signed for next season.
! When Manager Glickman opened his
theater in Chicago, he organized a very
capable company. But one by one his
more important players disappeared,
and whittier they went no man knew.
At length it dawned upon Manager
Glickman that the deserters, true to
the impulses that dominate the pro-
fession had gone to New York for
New York, be it known, is not only the
Jewish theatrical center of America,
but of the world.
Manager Glickman soon discovered
that he could not lure the Yiddish stars
back to Chicago by correspondence, so
he determined to make his appeal in
person. He went to New York armed
with an impressive handbook and a
bundle of enticing contracts. The wise
players of the ghetto, however, are in
no haste to sign. They are sitting quiz
city in the east side cafes, watching
the value of their services increase as
the Chicago manager and the several
New York managers strive to outbid
each other. Glorious days, indeed, are
these for the Yiddish players.

RACING IN CUBA.
New York.

Havana has added to its list of North
American sports that of horse racing
and the Cuba Jockey club has begun its
fail meeting.
The club is composed of prominent
Cubans and Americans, and the meet
ing, it is hoped, will be of character
to interest northern horsemen and
cause them to regard Havana favora-
bly, as a racing center in the future.
The Havanese are devoted to horse
racing, although they have never had
entries from the States at any of their
meetings. With the influx of Ameri-
cans, however, they hope to encourage
stable owners from the States to send
a number of horses every year.
The track at Buena Vista, a few
miles from Havana on the shore road,
is in excellent condition, and its stands
and surroundings are of the most taste
full character.
Race days in Havana are always
great social events. and as soon as the
sport has been sufficiently developed it
is hoped that the purses may be made
enticing enough to give the Cuba
Jockey club a standing in the States.

UMPIRE WON THE GAME.

The first instance on record where an
umpire was called to bat to win a game
occurred this year in Brooklyn. Emslie
was not equal to the task of umpiring
two games in one day, and MCGUIRE,
Ed Hanlon's sturdy catcher. and Ortiz,
the crack Philadelphia twirler, under
took the job. In the ninth inning Orth
was taken off the lines and sent to bat
in place of DonOhue, and he neatly
turned the trick, making a single and
eventually scoring. Orth was allowed
to umpire with the understanding that
he could be withdrawn should his serv-
ices be needed. Harry White took his
place, and Philadelphia won the game.

Equipping a team necessitates sound
judgment on the part of the manager
The buying of suits, headgear and 9th
er needed paraphernalia is an impor-
tant feature, and great care should be
exercised in catering to the physical pc
culiarities of the players. Each man
differs from his fellow in various ways
and Individual attention is invariably
necessary.
Probably the most important task
falling to the lot of the manager is ar
rangement of the playing schedule.
Here is where wide and varied expert
ence stands him in good stead. He
takes on" weak elevens early in the
season when his men are holding tenta-
tive positions. By this means the team
gets valuable practice, and coaches and
captain are enabled to form an idea as
to the merits of the raw recruits.
During the progress of the season
stronger teams have their turn on the
managers programme. The moleskin
wearers are becoming seasoned, and
their work improves daily. The grad
uated schedule climaxes at the end of
the campaign with the hardest games
of the year. and every man should be
hardened and fit for the fray.
Faulty arrangement of schedules
brings troubles in plenty. 1t is court
ing disaster to line up an untried pre-
liminary team against powerful aggre-
cations. Crushing defeat is sure to fol-
low. The men will become discouraged
and demoralized. Give them an opportu-
nifty to round into form gradually.
When top notch condition is reached,
then push the eleven to it's limit of en-
durance. Troubles never come singly
to manager. Rival teams may sud
denly be forced to cancel games, de-
feats at the seasons opening may rob
the team of public patronage, unex-
pected expenses may arise, threatening
to swamp the treasury, and a dozen
other unlocked for contingencies are
ever prone to occur; but a cool head
and an average amount of nerve will
always combat successfully with emer-
gencies.

proceeded to chloroform the stricken

larger than the horses nose, he placed
in it chloroform soaked sponge.
Then he strapped the bag over the ami

instantly began to struggle and, throw
ing aside the men who held him, rose
on three legs. He trampled the sponge
and canvas covering underfoot and en-
deavored to run away, but pressure on
his broken limb forced the end of the
bone through the skin, and he rolled
over on his back, kicking spasmodically
in his intense pain. Finally, after for
ty-five minutes had elapsed and after
three failures, the veterinary, whom 1

Training, equipment and manage
ment play an important part in the
production of a successful football
team. No matter how able and ambi-
tious the members of the eleven are,
no matter how much experience they
have had, unsatisfactory results are
sure to follow unless they are placed
under competent dictatorship.
The selection of trainer is an i'm
portant problem, for on his ability and
conscientiousness depends the condi-
ton of the team at critical stages. The
modern trainer, as a rule, is a high
priced individual, and the players
should receive his undivided attention.
1t is a strange fact that athletes I'M
der the care of the most careful train
ers often 'go back" or become "stale''
at periods when absolutely prime condi-
ton is necessary. A notable instance
of this occurred in 1897 when the
Princeton varsity eleven, under the care
of Jack McMasters, played through the
whole season without being scored on
until the last game. That game was
the annual struggle with Yale, and the
Jerseymen "slumped" so badly two or
three days before the game that they
