A WINNING STREAK
FOR JOCKEY NlCOL

NEW ORLEANS. La. January A.
Jockel Nicol, who was the leading rider
here last winter, showed trace of his
old skill in the saddle yesterday at the
City Park track and won three races. All
Of >nis winning mounts-Meadowbree
Risk and Hyperion II-were favorites.
1t was the first time this winter that
Nicol had shown his accustomed skill
and he received hearty reception on his
return to the scales with Hyperion H.
His previous failures had caused him to
lose prestige with the owners to such an
extent that he had failed until yesterday
to receive the pick of the best horses.
But with the retirement of George
Mountain and the suspension of Joe Not
ter there was a dearth of good Jockeys,
and Nieol came into his own again. Horse
men sought him out and gave him mounts
in four of the six races.
Nicol won the first three races. He be-
gan with Meadowbreeze. He opened at
odds of to 1 and closed at 8 to s. Air
ship was the early pacemaker and held
his lead SO long that the hackers of the
first choice lost heart. Meadowbreeze was
cut off soon after the start. but Nicol pa
tiently waited for an opening next the
rail. When It was forthcoming he slipped
his mount through the gap and by taking
several desperate chances just managed
in the last stride to win by a head on the
post. Tivolini and Belle Strome closed
with a rush in the last fifty yards and
beat Airship out of the place honors.
Risk a Good One.
Risk was the next winning mount for
Nicol. Backed heavily by the rank and
file of racegoers from 8 to down to
II to 10. she followed the pace of Dom
aldo until the last furlong. where she as
sumed the lead and won under the whip
by a half length. Donaldo held second
honors easily.
Hyperion II was the easiest winner of
the trio. He met some fast sprinters in
the third race, but as his form has been
excellent of late Owner L. A. Celia sent
a heavy commission on him. 1t was Cella's
money that forced his price from to
to to ) at post time.
The bets were never in jeopardy for
Hyperion II was easily master of his
opponents.
Nicol avoided the early fast pace and
