NEW JOCKEY STAR.
Phillips, Unheard Of Year Ago, Will
Earn $50, 600 Next Season.

Down In New Orleans, at the Crescent
City Jockey Club track, may be seen daily
II. Phillips, the new star in the racing fir
mament. In good weather and bad; over
courses varying from fiinty hardness, caused
by touch of frost, to soft and slushy, the
result of downpour of rain. this boy has
ridden race horses until he stands today at
the top Of the list Of winning Jockeys.
1t is not luck that has placed Phillips in a
more prominent position at the southern
meeting this winter than Grover Cleveland
Fuller. the young man who held that posi-
ton last season, but ability. integrity and
tenacity of purpose This young boys lone
ambition at present is to become the great
est rider in America. He would much
rather fill that niche in life's pathway than
be the son of a multi millionaire with moth
ing to worry about but to clip coupons of
government bonds.
The race meeting at New Orleans has al
ways been regarded by turfmen as the
graduating school for boys who have shown
ability in the saddle. 1t Is there that they
develop from the rough, crude apprentice
boy with scarcely the elementary parts OF
their vocation learned by heart into the
jockey with all the craft and cunning of the
finished horseman fully rounded out. 1t
was at this place that such artists as Fuller,
O'Connor and Lyme showed their true merit
and it Is there that Phillips has won renown
by landing more winners than his great
rival, Fuller.
Phillips fine work in the pigskin has at
tracted the attention of horsemen through
out the country. The fact that he has rid
den more than thirty winners without the
aid of a big stable to assist him in the mat
ter of mounts has occasioned considerable
surprise and comment Recently w. X.
Vanderbilt's agent Jack Mcdonald, offered
the lad a big salary to ride the railroad
magnate's thoroughbreds in France but the
offer was refused. Phillips does not care
to leave this country. and In all probability
he will sign to ride for some eastern horse
man or Fred Cook, the western boOkmaker.
The latter has offered him $500 month as a
retaining fee and has signified his willing
ness to permit him to sell second and third
cali on his services for $500 additional
With these retaining fees, Phillips ascertain
of earning $4,000 this season. Other out
side mounts will increase his income to at
least $4,000 for twelve months work. A
year ago he was practically unheard of.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Little Scout Won Jackson Handicap
by Half Length.

Jackson day. the anniversary of the bat
tie of New Orleans. was fittingly celebrated
in the crescent city yesterday. large
crowd took advantage Of the holiday
and went out to the race track to see the
race which Is yearly decided there to COM
memorate and perpetuate the great gen.
erals victory. This contest was keenly
fought out, and was won by the favorite,
Little Scout. There were only four starters
for the Jackson handicap. The distance of
the race. one mile and half. Is the long
est event at New Orleans with the excep-
ton of the Bush cup. The long journey and
the lumpy, uncertain condition of the track
had much to do with keeping the field
down to a limited number. or the four that
faced the barrier-Little Scout, Bondage,
Little Eikin and Ethics-the former was al
ways a decided favorfte and the choice of 10
per cent of the spectators. Bondage and
Little Eikin represented James Arthur's in
terests and in the straight odds they were
coupled in the betting. Ethics, who Is prac-
tfcally as helpless in the mud as q rudder-
less ship in the trough of the sea. was quot
ed at long price and received only desuI-
tory support.
Little Elkin acted as pacemaker for a
mile. He opened up big gap in the hope
that Hicks. the rider of Little Scout. would
become anxious and chase after him and
have his chance spoiled by these tactics
when Bondage. the stabiemate and the hope

While no trouble is anticipated by Chair

on playing Sunday games at Ridgewood
Park and the Brooklyn club continued its
opposition to such an arrangement. What
the outcome of the controversy would be

who was present during the discussion at
Cincinnati yesterday ventured the opinion
that the New York Americans would make
mistake If they took up Sunday ball IN
the east. and that the Brooklyn club would
likewise be guilty of foolhardy act If 1t
upset the present arrangement and went in
for Sunday baseball at home
Such a departure would not only kill the
Saturday attendance" said Mr.. Dreyfuss
but it would hurt business during the
week, so that on the whole nothing would
be gained. The people of the east have
been brought up to oppose Sunday amuse-
Tents. and Sunday baseball games could
not be forced upon them. II / could

TRAINERS AND TIPsTERs.
An English Owners Opinion of the
Track Followers.

From the New York Sun.
An English horse owner. who Is full OF
turf lore and appreciates the sport at it's
proper value, recently delivered himself of
thrilling discourse on trainers. touts and
tipsters. Good horses" he said, make
good trainers, and bad horses soon give
trainer a bad name, after which he is like
dog in the proverb-one may as well
hang him. He cannot win race except he
has the right material to work upon, and
when he cannot win races he is likely to
necessaries Of life. There are two kinds
Of trainers, and they admit of simple
classification. Among the first may be In
cluded those who understand their bust
ness and do pretty well with little luck,
while the others are tmperfectly informed
and trust to luck altogether. Many train
ers would be better of II they did not bet,
or If they backed only their own horses.
1t Is q fallacy to think that they coin
money by their aptitude in preparing
good things Big bookmakers might tell a
different story. A trainer recently defunct
left money, and surprise was felt at the
result. One critic, holder than the rest,
asked how he got 1t. The answer was that
1t was given to him, or he would have died
without a cent.
while tipsters may die in the odor OF
sanctity. they rarely have any money.
They do it in,' as the saying goes, by back
ing their own tips; they are not content
with advancing their unfortunate clients
and pocketing the cash as quick as 1t comes
