CeIved the palm on general resuits, Dwyef
and hoffman each started forty.hve days at
ioa Angeles and Oakland, and their Sofh
with the nat footed break was OF q hIEh order
of excellence. Geor 60 hose. one OF the
leading stockholders In tho Los Angeles
track. when he learned Of Dryers engage

"Ho Ia the best starter In America ana
tho Los Angeles track stands ready 70 employ
him all next winter. But ] suppose Tom VIII
llams Of the Oakland track will want MS
services n part Of the time. lie will make
q hit with the New York public. I'm sure"
John A. Drake, who has seen Dryer work,
declared that the BRIGHTON management
had made o ten strike. "Dwyer 10 q oorkins
good starter" said the Chicaeo horsemsn.
and / know he will make good.
Many OF the turfnen who raced at Los
Angeles and Oakland last winter when
asked for an . opinion said that Dryers
work would be o revelation to local turf
followers.
He has splendid control over tho Jockeys. =
said one man, and gets along nicely with
them. He handles large helds with great
skill and Is always cool headed. He Is as
square as a die and has the respect OF owners
and trainers all over the country -.
Just why tho Brighton management did
not care to reengage Cassidy 10 not public
property. Cassidy rot into, trouble with
a turf writer at the Beach last summer and
was fined 5000 by the stewards OF the meet
ing. His work with the gate at that track
was not wholly satisfactory and there was
some friction. Caesidy's friends have been
making a plea for the walk up system all
the season, setting forth as an argument
that his work would be better.
But the Jockey Club has remained firm in
its determination to stick to the nat footed
method. The engagement OF Dwyer. who
has made a success at this style OF starting.
Just as c. ]. Fitzgerald did when he was
the Jockey Clubs starter. win serve as an
illustration OF what can be done with the

from a rather inferior field. But he had

F.. C. Bishop and Andrew Miller. bet heavily
on him. This combination has won all kinds
OF money on Miller's mounts and the horses
trained by Tom Welsh this year. and the
success OF Ormondale was O genuine climax.
T.. j. Gaynor, the owner OF Whimsical. came
In for a scoring because he did not put up q
boy like Martin. Knapp. sewell or Garner.
but he said that he expected Notter to fill the
bill by taking Whimsical to the front. whima-
cal did not have Q chance TO bh6w her real
speed, but at that It ID q question whether
with a perfect ride abe could have beaten the
winner. who hung up Q new track record for
a mile and a sixteenth, i:45 SIS with plenty To

barring accidents. he would win many Of the
richest two-year-old stakes. He met Super
