George Odom. the veteran Jockey. an
nounced yesterday that he had retired per-
manently from the saddle and would devote
his time in future to training horses OF ms
own and those OF other turfmen. odom
turned over his Jockeys badge 10 the secre-
| tary of the Brighton track and received an
| owners badge instead. From the very be-
| ginning OF this season Odom found it DIM
! cult matter to reduce to the required weight.
! For this reason II was impossible Tor MIN
| to secure steady engagements and when
| he rode Blandy In the Realization at Sleeps
| hcnd Bay he told his friends that the mount
was probably his last. Yesterday the jockey
weighed 1871 pounds stripped. That seemed
to be the most convincing argument that 1t
was time for him to retire. He has had
long and honorable career has ridden many
| famous horses and in his new venture no
will have the good will Of all horsemen who
have come In contact with him In times past.

cause the latter foued and ". H. Snyder had an
interest In each. why were they not coupled in
the betting? This question WAS asked by many
who saw 80 to against Snow and 90 to
against Devltree. The latter was an added
starter, running in the name OF W. B. 4.

Snyder. by the way. had hard luck all the
afternoon. Whorler. who carried his colors
| In the first race. was few inches out of the
money. Hundreds who saw the finish from
the lawn in front Of the betting ring were
ready to lay odds that Whorler finished In
the money. Tyron. also owned by Snyder,
was heavily backed by his friends in the
fifth race. only to run third.
The fact that complimentary badge was
taken from Charley Heney, member OF
the Nets governing committee, at the track
gate on Saturday caused much comment
among the bookmakers yesterday. for, &C
cording to their story. Heney some time ago
notified all the Nets that under no circum-
stances should they or any OF their clerks
make use OF free badges.
1t was reported yesterday that the stew
ards OF the Jockey Club have Tod Sloan's
case under consideration. Sloan Is daily
visitor at the track, where his friends have
used all the influence at their command In his
behalf 1t seems hardly fair to keep him on
the ground longer. inasmuch as no charges
OF wrongdoing have ever been brought
against him. and he has already been per-
mitted TO ride on the tracks OF the American
Turf Association in the West,
Francis Trevelyan, who has been leading
Official Of the American Turf Assoc iation. by

and will sail for England for vacation on
Saturday. Trevelyan was busy shaking
hands all the afternoon with his numerous
friends at the track. He says that the West
ern Jockey Club has been beaten 10 stand
still by the Corrigan organization and that
there is no longer any doubt about the control
| of the Western turf. Trevelyan says that the
best horse n the IVES, is Lady savoy. a three,
