kept on the ground because the late

fortune in doing it. demanded that
the rider be punished

him to let up on Maher, and not long
after the engagement with Mr.. Clark
was declared off. The jockey went

been equailed, for even Fred Archer
was no better liked than is Maher.
Danny has now formally decided to
give up the handsome retaining fee
annually paid him each year by Lord
Derby. When Maher was last in Ameri-
ca he told some friends that if he
could win the Derby for Lord Derby,
who is direct descendant of the
man who really gave the name to this
historic race, he would cheerfully give
his right hand. This is the sort of
loyalty not often met with
Hereafter Maher will ride as an in
dependent jockey, free from the at

sorry for him to ride horses which had
no possible chance. Now he will be

probability will be on Mr.. Fairies

more terrible by far when it came to
facing a hurler. Today there are a
few goat getters, but not many. The
grim and massive front put by Wagner,
Crawford and Lajole scares many a
pitcher, while the confidence and the
eagerness of Cobb also puts
the fright into them. These fellows act
as the old-timers did, but most of the
modern batsmen simply stand at the
plate in a half-apolOgetic way, hoping
against hope that they may scratch out
a single or draw a base on balls.

mighty drives. They gazed upon the
pitchers with a grim smile, look of
total confidence, with absolute belief
in their own superiority, and the pitch
ers, facing these monoliths of the game
felt, in a word, just as the batsmen do
today in front of Brown. Such a diff
ference, gentle boys!
