JUAREz JOCKEY CLUB IS
PROTECTING ITS PATRONS
Pass Rule Allowing Only Owners
Holding Contracts on Apprentice
Riders to Receive Allowance.
WILL PREVENT CROOKED RACES
Also Will Reduce to Minimum the
Number OF Plausible Excuses
That Arc Handed the Public When
tho Favorito Loses.

NEW YORK, February 4.-The
Juhrcz race track officials deserve a
commenting slap on their backs for
their recent action in putting into n
forco rule concerning apprentice jock
eys that will do much to mako the
racing game more honest
, The OFFICIALS long ago realized that II
lRcE couiU devise some rules that would
reduce to Il minimum the number OF
plausible excuses that horse owners
could resort TO when the favorite horses
lost the race. or when an outsider
won. that they would be taking a long
step toward the goal OF honest and
clean racing.
SO they passed this rule:
will i9 ire Ter me apprentice allowance
owned by persons holding the contracts
on apprentice riders. This will not
apply to horses trained by such en-
ploycrs unless they have ownership in
them
That rule means much for the racing
game. In the past the apprentice jock
haps-in many crooked races. There
are several ways In which the crooked
owners worked things through the me
dunn of apprentice Jockeys The most
popular method was this:
Let's say Bill Hanger owned a horse
named kinky kink, who was compelled
kinky iiink couldn't do very we'll With
a lVu-pounu load, but he always was
sure TO be in the fight with u 95-pound
load.
The public knew this. 1t also knew
that Owner Hanger had no apprentice
jockeys-that he always rode the cx-
pert jockeys who must carry 100
pounds. Therefore, the public never
bet on Hangers horse; at least. not In
any amounts.
The race on this particular day Is
fixed for kinky kink to win. The ow-
ner OF the horse knows that his only
chance TO win is 10 put In an apron
ticc jockey. because the rule provides
MAT whenever an apprentice jockey
rides the horse Is given n five pound al
lowancc That Is. IL the horse. under
the rules. Is scheduled to carry 100
pounds regular Jockey weight he need
carry only - pounds II an apprentice
rides him.
AZ the last minute. the owner Of
kinky k!nk puts a 95-pound jockey on
tho horses back. With such little
weight l<inky kink can go ut his best
and he usually wins.
The public probably, bet heavily on
never figured Kinky Kink to have a
chance because they know he can't
carry 100 poGnds jockey weight, and
they didn't learn about the switch in
Jockeys until the horses were mt the
post or had left IL.

That is because we have tho
largest output. we have new
factory. modernly equipped. And
we have Worldwide facilities for
buying rubber. OF our extra
grade. at the lowest market
price.
For long. long time most
tires have sold much above Good

sold lower, rs some always will,

After Short Bombardment.

London. March 24-Battleships of the
French and British fleet renewed their
attack on the Dardanclles forts at dawn
today, according to dispatch from
Mitylene transmitted from Athens today.
Ii stated that nine of the largest YES
sells OF the fleet entered the straits and
began pouring rain OF shells upon the

\ later dispatch said that the battle
ships had to suspend operations within
short time and withdraw because n
heavy fog prevented accurate firing.
Yesterday a flOtilla of mine sweepers
entered the straits and cleared the way
for the battleships.
Because of the loss of the Bouvet. Ir-
resistible and Ocean. the warships will
enter the straits hereafter only when

GERMANS ON OFFENSIVE
IN NORTHERN POLAND
Series of Violent Counter-attacks Di.
rected Against Russian Lines
on the Narew.

Petrograd. March 24.-The Germans
heavily REINFORCED. are presenting a Sc
ries of furious counter-attacks in north
ern Poland on the western bank of the
Narew and the front extending from the
Skwa to the Orshytz that appear to be
developing into a general engagement.
These positions have been strengthened
to the depletion of other sections of the
German line.
The bombardment OF the Ossowiec
fortress has proved failure. There
were two 42-centimeter howitZers before
the city and both have been taken home
again. One suffered severely from the
Russian fire. Apparently these weapons
are useful only when fired from plat
forms prepared long beforehand or the
guns have been damaged by prolonged
use.
Only four of the German heavy bat
teries now remain before Ossowiec. The
removal began on the 10th. The Rus
sian fire from the fortress proved su-
perior to the German.
