LEAD, s. d.. May 5.-Dorothy
Knicei. l4-year-oid girl. living In

horses in real races. but she trains
and rubs them as we'll.
Her earnings as a jockey pay for her
winters schooling and help support
her mother and father rs we'll She
was raised on a ranch with horses.
She never had the slightest fear OF
them. Her daring Is illustrated by an
incident which happened on the race
track. In a warming-up gallop a par.
tioularly vicious horse threw her. She
chung TO the reins, but the horse broke
away from her. When the runaway
was brought back profess was made
against letting girl ride him.
Dorothy walked up to the horse and
looking him straight in the eye sale.
I'll ride you now II you kill me-"
Ride him she did. and she won the
race.
She has ridden now N Minnesota.
Iowa. Nebraska. North and South Da-
kota and other far western states.
OF course these races arc at small
meetings. because neither OF the big
turf governing associations In the cas-;

Dorothy's mother is her constant at
tendent wherever she goes.
i've never had to scold her bu,

stronger than most boys of her age
and size Her muscular development
has come from training and rubbing
Der own horses. She is a trainer OF
no mean ability. as is evidenced By
the fact that she has won many races
