START WAS FAIR.
Starter Turner Says Duffey Was
Treated Right.

=
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
George Turner, who has for many years
past been Pennsylvania starter In all her
track games, and who oficiated as such at
the games held by Company / Saturday
night, in which Dufrey competed in the
forty-yard dash. and was beaten, declaring
that the start was unfair, claims Duffey
has no just reasons for such an assertion
After the race Duffey claimed that he
was not ready when the pistol was fired
and that he was standing up because he
thought the others were going to do the
same
In speaking OF the race, Mr.. Turner yes
terday said:
such an excuse by runner OF Duffey's
prominence Is all bosh. When 1 fired the
pistol he and all the others were set ready
for the start. He started well and ran ten
or twelve yards. when he saw 1t would be
impossible for him to overtake Annsler he
noticeably stopped and then made this alb
surd claim. If, as he says, he was stand
ing up and not ready, which I deny, why
did he move from the mark? Besides he
had no reason to be standing up and his
excuse that he thought the others were
going to Is also foolish. He heard the call
get on your marks and get set and he
has certainly ran enough races to know
that until these orders are countermanded
by the starters he Is to stay In that position
no matter what the other contestants do.
1T was simply case OF q man against
him whom he knew he could not beat with
when he didn't get it he made excuses.
II claim the start was perfectly fair He
was not standing up, but ready and started
with the others

Debating JOCKEYS.
American Riders Not Liked by the
Frenchmen.

The Paris correspondent of Truth de-
scribes the American Jockey as the king Of
the turf. and. Judging from the following
article does not think too much OF his hon.
esty. He says:
THE American jockey is the king Of the
turf. Owners of racing studs bow low be-
fore him and put up with all his whims and
| Gas 1t seems to them) eccentricities and
exactions. The poor English Jockey, who
understood so well his proper station. Is out
in the cold. A Chantilly trainer who has
had experience Of both, tells ne that the
English jockey spared the horse and shaved
himself. The American racks out the horse,
but wins the race-that Is, when 1t suits
him to win. All the weight Is thrown on
the forelegs. Greater impetus is thus
given. The American jockey lives fast and
dies early. American drinks to suit his taste
are now finding their way into all the bars
near race courses. Whisky is the founda-
ton Of most OF them.
''If the owner of stud calls at the cafe
of an American jockey to talk to him about
a coming race he may be told that the
jockey Is playing game Of billiards or
otherwise engaged. The visitor has to wait
on his convenience. Should the waiter re-
fleet the visitors impatience. he may be told
L want none of that plague Just let me
be. and when I've played my game I'll go
to see what he wants The game played,
the jockey goes to the cafe, says: How do
you dor sits down at the marble table with
him. strikes 1t with a coin and calls out I
say. waiter. bring whfslky and Soda He
then asks the owner Of the racing stable
how he can Oblige him. II the latter beats
about the bush before coming to the point
the American Jockey pulls him up with
something to this effect: Just to save time.
! had better tell you that never bargain.
and that my retaining fee Is 20. 900 francs
Whether you withdraw your horse before
the race or not you pay that fee and IL
You withdraw / remain free to ride for
somebody else. II you are not satisfied,
good day The racing man sees that the
American jockey has made up his mind
and that 1t would be useless to attempt to
secure his services on lower terms
This Chantilly trainer tells me that LYNX
eyes watch the American Jockeys They
are suspected of agreeing among themselves
as to the horse that should win II IA no
use sending mouchards in among them, for
their mouths are firmly closed and not
made to betray secrets. Nor are they omen
to the Establishments Of French ladies'. They
think American ladies only worth talking to.
The English jockey stood In almost feu-
DIAL subsection to the owner of the racing
stables. His American supplanter has no
such reverence. He wants to make money.
IL his employers game were fair. he would
play-or rsde-fair. too. But when employs
