TELLS HOW
TO START THE RUNNERS
Starter Must Be Quick to See,
Quick to Think and Quick
to Act.

J. J. Hoffman, the well-known starter of
running races, has written an interesting
article on how to be a successful starter.
In the Detroit Free Press, Hoffman says:
'oTo be a successful starter of race horses
a man must be quick to see, quick to think
and quick to act. This epigrammatic de-
scription sums up the whole case when ex-
pressed to an old-time race-goer as he
knows upon reflection that those three
qualities fill the bill, but TO neophyte IL
requires some explanation and elaboration
JTDOn a starters efficiency at race track
depends much of the success of the meet
ing as he has to please the judges. the
bookmakers, the owners and trainers and
the boys riding under him. and lastly, but
the most important of all, the race-going
public, which really supports the game.
Patience also enters largely into the
question, as a starter without that quality
soon loses the respect of the boys riding
at q meeting and unless they respect him.
he will not get good results. There must
lie also flrmness in seeing that his orders
are carried out, but frmness should not
be mistaken for tyranny. If the jockeys
get the belief that a starter is trying TO
bulldoze or bluff them, everything Is
spoiled, as some become Indifferent. some
rebelIious, sulky and defiant; others timid
and nervous. One precept that l religious
" practice is never TO break my word with
the boys. If a field of horses come before
me in which there are one or more bad
actors. always tell them TO work with me
and / will not leave them at the post or
"By keeping faith with the jockeys in this
particular l soon gain their confidence and
impress them with the belief that all are
to receive a fair show and il narrows down
to a case of you Tote fair and so will i,
with excellent results.
1.-The average boy. no matter what his
ability, is anxious TO get away from the
post. OF course there are some, and old
timers know them well, who scheme and
contrive and use every device known to
their profession to delay starts until they
see or think they see, that they are going
to get the best of it. These connivers, as
an Irishman would call them, are easily
reached by a stiff fine or suspension,
both, and are soon brought TO terms.
1.-The starter should also have the sup
port of the judges and management In his
enforcement of fines and suspensions. Fines
RENTED when really deserved and merited,
suspension lifted over starters head. de-
stroy all discipline and spoil good starting.
The starter should endeavor to whip these
smart boys into line. and at the same time
give every encouragement to those who
show a disposition to be obedient and
commodating.
Another thing that starter must try
TO learn while officiating at race meeting
Is the characteristics Of the different horses
that appear before him from day TO day.
