That is. his employers have set hin

Acquired Bad Habits.
Suu another. and probably the cor
rect one. is that the jockey has been
drifting into bad habits. and had reach

needed During the Brighton meeting
reports reached MT Rainey that The boy
was spending money recklessly, aIteI
hours. This was. of course, reported 90
Trainer May. who refused to believe u
until evidence was produced. and Jhen'
when he made the attempt 20 show the
BOY what was expected of him, there
was omen rebellion. Radtke has always
been hard 10 handle, i'm fact. not alone

and to make the case particularly strong
the three horses that beat her iu last
Thursdays race were behind her today
under conditions more favorable TO each
of the trio. The case looks like a very
plain one and it will be a great surprise
if Romaueld does any riding for some
years TO come There was time when
the revoking Of q license was not a very
serious thing; that is, after few
months there was a disposition TO be
leEiont and the offender was given an
other chance. Nowadays, however, IL
is not so easy 10 get Clemency. The Of
fcials do not act until they have proof
positive. and once on the blacklist il is
quite q task 10 get back in good stand
ing. Romanelli has been riding for years,
but he has kept pretty close 10 the small
tracks. He has never been considered a
first class rider still there has always
been a demand for his services and lac
has been able 20 earn 81 comfortable sal
airy in fees.
