Harry Mack believes that he has made
a genuine find in the jockey line. He
has secured a fve-year contract on an
Oakland lad named II. Anderson. a boy
whom he declares to be a born jockey.
The lad has never ridden a race and
Mack Will not let him do so until next
season. Meanwhile he will give him
plenty of experience in galloping horses.
He is IA years of age, weighs sixty
pounds and has been exercising for
Mack for about two months. His en-
ployer, who developed the well known
jockey. Nash Turner, says that the lit
tie fellow has the faculty of handling
the heaviest headed horses with ease;
that he has a splendid seat and hands,
and that he is confident the boy win
make his mark as a rider Sub
stantial offers for the boys contract by
horsemen who have seen him ride have
been turned down by Mack

c. B'Lusk thinks that he has a very
good colt in the one yearling that COM
prises his stable after a campaign in

c. c. McC anerty seems to have the
faculty of getting into disfavor
wherever he races his stable. After the
last race of Joe Coyne at Latonia. he
was called before Judge Price and
asked for an explanation of that horses
running. He attributed
the horses poor showing in his last
race to the fact that he sulked. Judge
Price told McCafferty that in future
all the horses from his stable would
have to show more consistency If he
was desirous of continuing to race at
Latonia- McCafferty was given a
similar warning at Canadian track
last summer. He is supposed to be on
his way to Oakland with his stable,
for complaint on the part of local race
goers on account of the inconsistency
of the McCafferty horses, it is probable
that the local officials will not tolerate
a repetition of such practices.
