ticipating the rise OF the barrier Success
attended his efforts and he rode many
winners.
The one drawback to receiving many
mounts at first was his tendency TO

slightest occasion. lie had been frequent
ly reprimanded by the officials and dis
qualified for this. and the horsemen were
afraid TO intrust him with their thorough
breds and their money.
But Garner rode so well that he soon
passed all his rivals OF the pgskin, and
today his services are eagerly sought.
Garner is Is years old. He Is not the
ideal type OF a Jockey, thin and long OF
limb, but on the contrary Is plump
youngster. His legs are so short that he

horse. His chin nearly touches his knees
with every motion OF his horse. But In
spite OF this "monkey-on-a-stlck'' position
he has great control over his mounts and
is one OF the strongest S-pound boys now
