To Tiny Southern Lad
Goes Honor ofLeading
All American Jockeys
Texas Kid, Named Hill, Puts 1t
Over Veterans and Piles
Up Nearly 200 Victories.

TIME champion jockey of the
year in America is a Texan,
born and bred. His name is
Hill.
While there yet remains more
than a week before the calendar
circle is completed, one is quite
safe in awarding Hill the title, for
his lead is such that only one
jockeY-C. Turner-has chance
to overhaul him before the end of
the year and such a thing is i'm
probable. for Turner has tempo
rarily retired from the saddle and
is spending the winter months at
his home in Cevington. Ky.
The new champion Of the Ameri-
can jockeys is a product Of the far
Western turf He was practically
unknown a year ago. having ridden
only five winners in 1911. He first
broke into prominence at the half
mile track at Oklahoma City where
he rode his first winner. Last win
ter he accompanied some of the
bush horsemen to Juarez and as
there was a scarcity of riders at
the Mexican track at that time he
was quickly given an opportunity
to show his merits.
Hills climb to fame was little
short of remarkable; he became a
star in a day and at the close of
racing at Juarez last April was ac-
knowledged by horsemen and turf
followers to be the best lightweight
rider in the country. Up to date he
has ridden 100 winners this year
and there is a possibility that his
grand total will reach the 200 mark
before the beginning of the new
year He is but sixteen years of
age, weighs less than 100 pounds
and seems to have a number of
years of usefulness as a race rider
before him

DENVERITE GOES WHOLE
SEASON WITHOUT A HIT

DENVER, Dec 1S.-Hats off to Healy
OF Denver-Healy who pitched for the
champions of the Western league during
the season just ended. Mr. Healy has
made a new record, and one which, like
that of Joe Wood, may stand forever.
In thirty seven games, Mr. Healy APP
peared at bat eighty-two times and not
once did Mr. Healy make a base hit
that's an Unprecedented showing II
has occasionally happened that some per-
former went fifteen or sixteen games hit
iiess, but never before has any athlete
with a batting average of 600
It's the most wonderful thing of the
ase.reVersibly speaking and lids should
oe uoted IN honor of Mr. Healy. Nobody
else. ever did it-nobody may ever do it
again.
