SADDLE WORK
UNFAIR TO THE Jockeys
Riders Should Take Good Rest.

In view Of the scandals which at win
ter tracks follow fast upon the non-sue-
cess OF many who IN the East retain their
good names. 1t is thought that those who
can control the acts Of their employees
viii strongly advise them 30 follow the
example set by TaraI. Msher. Martin.
and others who ride abroad, and IN the
future go fl for a real rest once the win
ter season sets IN.
This view is further strengthened by
the experiences OF Coburn and Ransch at
san Francisco The former had ridden
but q few mounts there when he was sus-
pended by the officials for what they
deemed suspicious work. Under the rules
Il the California Jockey Club no higher
court can pass upon the Judicial edIcts Of
the stewards there. There is no appeal
for one who might be adiudged guilty.
This is not the ease under either the
Eastern OF Western Jockey Club rules
How much longer employers Of high
priced jockeys can endure being de
pTiyeE Of their riders services without
appeal IS a question II cost George c.
Bennett. his employer. many thousands
OF dollars TO permit Coburn to visit his
relatives at San Francisco and Incl

a Bitter disappointment.

1t is reported that the city boys
from the east who went west to help
out with the harvest work were much
disappointed. Probably they were.
Their ideas of farm life were gained
from operas or novels. which are full
of pretty milkmaids. new moWn hay,
golden grain, sweet breathed cattle,
hOwery fields and shady brooks, with
dressed up young people TO enjoy these
things and work q little on the side.
The sweating is always done by some
body in the background, who occasion
ally appears and talks a New England
dialect of seventy-five years ago. These
young fellows from the east didn't real
iZe youths bright dream. The rude
farmers with ten cent straw hats and
sweaty shirts expected them to go right
out in the sun, without awnings or
paraSols over them, and actually labor.
Yes, sir. and on many of the farms
there were no automobiles to take them
to and from the fields, no electric fans,
no soda fountains, no golf links, and
dinner consisted Of only one course!
Who can blame the carefully nurtured
cross country runners, rowing cham
pions. football players and golf ball
chaSers for not wanting to work I'M
der such disadvantages But their eX-
I4arience may be valuable, for it may
lead those who know nothing about it
to realize that farm life is real and
earnest and sometimes actually strenu-
