The Rapid Rise OF Jockey
Hildehrand a Marvel.
Was a Messenger Boy on the
Coast Only Recently.
NOW I'll STAR RIDER.
Has Made a Fortune Within the
Last Two Years.
Probably Pilot Harry Payne
Whitney's Stable in 1905.

New York, Nov. 22.-When the last
race was run at Aqueduct on Tuesday
the metropolitan racing season for 1904
came to an end. The racing contingent
big and little, boarded the special for
Washington, where that period OF rae
ing betwixt the regular and the winter
will hold the attention of h regulars
until they AXE their flight to New Or
leans and California, to come backwith
robins and bluebirds in 1905.
Of all the men who make their living
at the track, the jockeys have Jared
best. 1t is doubtful if there has ever
been a time in the history of h Ameri-
can turf when a boy who is really a
irst-class rider has been so richly re-
warded. The earnings of the best
jockeys have been almost past belief.
Take young Hildebrand for example
When he left for the coast a week g
he took with him cash, securities and
deeds to New York real estate to the
value of SIC, 900. A year ago
was a messenger o who considered
himself lucky to be drawing a stipend
of IS a week. Joe Yeager, the plunger,
discovered in some way he could ride,
and this eighteen-year-old boy has
within a year amassed a competency
which would represent the savings of
a lifetime's labor of a professional mar
of considerably above the average OF
ability.
Hildebrand has been by long odds the
most successful of the Jockeys. His
record is 166 1rsts, this being 80 more
than Fuller, the leading rider of last
year. had: 40 seconds and 102 thirds.
Hildebrand left here for the west i'm
mediately after the races.
He will go to his home and spend a
few days with his mother and father,
n will then go to Los Angeles, where
he will join Yeager. Hildebrand will
return east next spring, and will bring
his father and mother along with him,
as he recently purchased a home for
them and himself at Sheepshead Bay.
Although it has not been
it is expected that Hildebrand will be
the rider for the stable of Harry Payne
Whitney, who will return to the turf
and race in his own colors next season.
1t is known that Whitney has been
negotiating for the services of this
rider. and it is said that the contract
has been made. While Hildebrand is
the premier Jockey of the season, both
in winning mounts and emoluments,
there are many Others of these lads
whose ability to ride a horse has
brought them princely
Following are the estimated earnings

the evidence. There was. nothing at
all to bear out the charge hat they
received money. OF course they went
down there to play, but before a
player can be declared Ineligible there
must be convincing proof that he re-
ceived money for his services. I tele-
graphed the news of my decision and
followed it with a letter reciting my
decision and what it was based upon"
Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 22.-The an
nouncement that Prof. Barton found
Captain Hicks and Pooler not guilty
of the charges as registered by Mis-
souri, came as no surprise here, but
had a tendency to create more en-
thusiasm in the way of intense con-
f1derce now on n part of the student
BODY. 1t was generally conceded that
If Hicks and PoOler were barred the
Tigers would have at least an even
SHOW for victory n there are still
many who vigorously rebut the state
mentS tina Kansas will have a certain
victory Thanksgiving.
For three days the Hicks-Pooler case
has been discussed here more than any
other topic and the entire university
and town seemed interested. Among
the student body there was a noticeable
fear that the two stars of this years
team might be thrown out. AmorN the
faculty there was an air of confidence

ness and there was little fear that Kan
SaS would lose her captain and the
prospective captain of next years team
as well. With the more conservative
of he university and those having the
matter in charge there was not the
slightest display of uneasiness, and to-
day when the report came Dean Green
said: Just what l expected. I don't
see how h players could be found
guilty on such grounds" Prof. Ster-
ling, who is considered one of the
greatest purists in athletics and who
is at the head of the university eligi-
bility committee, said that he was very
confident that Prof. Barton would not
declare Captain Hicks and Poo1er pro-
fessionals ecaus there was insufficient
evidence to promote such a decision.
The THANKSGIVING game is now taking
on too much the air of a foregone con-
clusion in the minds of many here, and

worst possible thing that could set in
at his time.
Columbia, Mo-, Nov. 22.-The news
that Prof. Barton had decided against
Missouri in the Pooler and Hicks con-
Columbia last night, and while it GER
tainly did not increase the confidence
of local supporters in Missouri's ability
to beat the Jayhawkers, it has not had
the depressing effect expected. In spite
of the fact that dopes indicate that the
Tigers have not a chance, the Missouri
supporters refuse themselves to be in
Auenced by dope and there will certain
ly be as much Missouri enthusiasm at
the game as Kansas. 1t was pretty
thoroughly believed here thai Prof.
Barton would decide in favor of Mis-
Jul and for this reason the news Gre
ated no little surprise. 1t is generally
believed here that Hicks and Pooler

HERMANN PLANS NEW SERIES.
Would Have Short Ball Season and
Then Games Between Leagues.

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 22.-President
Hermann of the Cincinnati club and
chairman of the national commission
has two ideas regarding the schedule
of the National league club for next
season. The first is for a short season
in the National league, say ZIG games;
after which there will be played a
series of games between National
league teams on the one side and
American league teams on the other.
a schedule of games to be arranged to
cover dates for the rest of the season
with each team of each league meet
ing every team of the opposition cir
cult. B
Failing in this, Mr.. Hermann is in
favor of a long schedule in the Ma
tional 1eague-Quite as long as that
which was played during h season
Just closed, when each team was
scheduled for 1874 games.

by football critics. How
ever, it is generally approved that the
assistant coach is to have an oppor-
tunity to display himself, even though
it be late in the season, as it will be
valuable in demonstrating the precise
ability of Mr.. Cochems.

CLOSING WORK AT X. U.
Men Were Given a Last Light Scrim-
mag ON Monday.

mage ON Monday.
Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 22.-The men
were given their last scrimmage. The
work was extremely light and lasted
only a short time. None of the men
was forced to call for time and all
seemed to get in the spirit of the play
better than was expected. Drummer was
back in his old place on the immediate
left of center, and though still badly
crippled, will be able to enter the game
Thursday. The big guard has to walk
stiff-legged with his limb well wrapped
In large bandages to give him sufficient
strength at the knee to get around. He
was not in the scrimmage, but limber-
ed up in the signal drills. Rouse is
working out on left end and will prob
ably get in the game in F1eishman's
place. Fleishman has been very frreg-
ular in attending practice of late, and
this fact may cause him to lose his
place on the extreme left for Thursday.
Rouse and Fleishman are both good
ends.
The back field is speedy and good at
all times, and the work at quarter has
never been done better on a Kansas
team, while in the line there is doubt
less room for some Improvement. The
line will average 178 pounds and is well
balanced.

Lawrence, Kas., Nov. 22.-Word

that the Nebraska college would con-

came as a surprise, as only the kind
Hest feelings for tn University of Me-

thought by a few to be an act of re-

with the Cornhuskers.

with an institution further east to take
place of the Nebraska dates.
