MUREL BELL
LEADING RIDER
OF COUNTRY
DiMiNUTiVE JOCKEY NOW AT
MONCRlEF PARK TOPS THEM
ALL, WINNING FOUR OUT OF
FIVE MOUNTS IN ONE AFTER.
NOON.
BY Jack lunan.

Hughey Penny's diminutive rider.
Murel Bell, by riding four straight
winners out of five mounts, at Mon
Grief Park last Monday, has gained the
honors necessary to have his name
added to the convicted roll Of honor
known as the Remarkable Jockey
Feats Of the World"
Already the names of such riders as
Garrison, Mclaughlin, Taral, Burns,
Nicol, Miller, Lee, Powers and Notter
appear on the list of riders who have
either won the entire card or have
piloted all Of their mounts to victory
during single afternoon.
Little Bell, therefore, deserves the
highest praise for his feat, for his
career in the saddle only began last
winter at Juarez, when he finished
second ON one of. Guy Bedwell's
horses. But it was not until this fall.
when Penny secured his contract, that
the yOungster started to show his
class. He rode with success at MARI
boro, Pimlico and jamestown, and the
ability he has shown at Moncrief is
equal to that of any boy at the track.
Young Bell is a native of Toronto,
Canada, which, by the way, Is also the
home of Jockey Stan. Davis, who is
| also riding at Jacksonville
The record of the principal feats Of
jockeyship In America from 1907 to
Jan. /, 1910. is as follows:
| Lee James, Louisville, June ), 1907,
| full card, winners.
| Nctter, City Park, March 81, 1908,
5 out of mounts.
| j. Mcintyre, Denver, June IS, 1908,
5 out of mounts.
| V. Powers Fort Erie, Aug. 6, 1908,
| 5 out of mounts.
| v. Powers, Fort Erie, Aug. 20, 1908,
out Of mounts.
Notter, Oakland, Jan. 4, 1909, 3 out
| of mounts.
w. Brooks. Victoria, June 16, 1909,
out of mounts.
| W. Fischer, Salt Lake, Sept. 20,
1909, out of mounts.
| J. Butwell, Aoueduct, Nov. l, 1909
4 out Of 4 mounts.
&. Archibald, Oakland, Nov. "A, 1909.
4 out of mounts
Glasner, Tampa, Dec. IA, 1909, out
OF mounts.
F. Jackson, Tampa, Dec. IA, 1909, 4
out OF mounts.
| Bell rode four straight winners and
finished third on his other mount,
truly creditable record for an appren,
tice.

brisk, for the messengers from the

Grriving by carriages and autos,
which were parked in the center field

conveyances and witnessed the sport
