King Edward VII and Tod Sloan.
Tod Sloan, the famous jockey. will
sail for England in March and it is
said that he is going to hold the new
king to a promise made last year when
Sloan was refused license to ride in
England. 1t is said that Sloan had
signed a contract with the then Prince
of Wales to ride for him for two sea-
sons beginning with the opening of
the tracks in 1901 and then when the
English Jockey club refused to grant
the worlds greatest jockey a license
he went to King Edward and asked
for the contract which was handed him
and he promptly tore it up. The king,
then prince, appreciated the way Sloan
treated him and told that if ever it lay
in his power to do him favor of any
kind to call upon him and he would
do what ever he could. Since his as
cension to the throne it is said that
Sloan has informed him that he will
be in England and will expect the king
to assist him in securing q license
which will undoubtedly be done. 1t is
said that the contract which Sloan de-
stroyed called for the largest salary
ever offered a jockey.

and started with a membership of fif-
teen. Links were secured N the north
eastern part of the city on Austin ave-
nue. and as the membership was in
creased j. Y. WaddiEgton was employ
ed at monthly salary as green keep
er and a better selection could not have
been made. The links were right in
the foot hills of Mount Franklin and
it was at first thought that it would be
to level them off. but Mr.
Waddington has made one of the best
dirt links in the south. True. it is a
little rough. but players from the east
say that it is one of the best dirt links
they have ever played on. 1t is hard
for those who are used to the smooth
links at first but when they get used
to these links some good scores are the
results. The pest amateur DOGGY for
the course was made by Allen G.. Bo-
dine Of the Philadelphia Golf club. the
score being 43. H. S. George of Den
