AM RICAN JOCKEY
KING OF THE TURF
Frenchman Writes His Opin-
ion of the Yankee
Riders.

The Paris correspondent of Truth de-
scribes the American jockey as the king
Of the turf, and, judging from the follow
ing article, does not think too much of mis-
honesty. He says:
'The American jockey is the king Of the
turf. Owners of racing studs bow low be-
fore him and put up with an his whims

is out in the cold. A ChantilIy trainer who
has had experience Of both tells me that
the English jockey spared the horse and
shaved himself. The American racks out
the horse but wins the race-that is, when
it 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. Whis-
ky is the foundation of most of them.
If the owner of a stud calls at the
cafe OF an American jockey to talk to
him about coming race, he may be told

has to wait on his convenience. Should

beats about the bush before coming to the

is $4,000 francs. Whether you withdraw
your horse before the race or not you pay
that fee, and If you withdraw 1 remain

are not satisfied, good day The racing
man sees that the American jockey has
made up his mind and that it would be
useless to attempt to secure his services
on lower terms.

YOUNG CORBETT A

FeatherweIaht Champion Able to Control

less to say that Corbett will have to be at
his best to accomplish the feat of again
whipping Terry, but he will unquestion-
ably have the advantage, because he will
be cool, while Terry, who is naturally ex-
citable, will be up in the air from the
time he enters the ring until he leaves It,
Corbett has also placed much Of his
confidence on the fact that he can start
the wheels to turning in McGovern's head

the occasion of their first meeting at Hart

McGovern out in two rounds. Terry

To that end Mr.. Curtis has prepared

The ball shall not exceed twenty

the Fulton Palace alleys, Tuesday
night.
That there are enough tournaments,
clubs and bowlers in Greater New
York to form an Eastern congress may
be determined from the following fig
ures, which Mr.. Curtis will present as
an argument in Indianapolis against
the loaded ball:
In Manhattan there are at present
25 tournaments, involving 342 teams
and LILO bOwlers, which, with the in
dividual championship, makes the total
LIPS, irrespective Of substitutes.
Brooklyn has 10 five-men team tour
naments, involving 266 clubs and 1880
bowlers, making a grand total Of 3,O55

bowling every night.
Counting the two-men and three
men tournaments and the substitutes,
Mr.. Curtis estimates that there are
1000 bOWlers, actually interested in
tournaments, every night during the
season.

This wasA enough to start McGovern and
when he was knocked down he flew into
a rage, and 1t is safe to say that he did
not know whether he was afoot or horse
back when the bell for the second round
sounded. His hatred for Corbett has natur-

watching the Corbett-Maynard bout that
he gets sight of the little champion. On
