BOY JOCKEY EARNS FORTUNE
Sixteen-Year-Old Rider Receives $1,000
Weekly-Rated as One of Leading
Pilots of Country.

What would the average man do If
he made $1,000 a week? Would he
carefully put the bulk of it away in
the bank so that some day he could
go to school and get an education?
That is what Mack Gardner does
He is only sixteen years old. but he
makes $1,000 a week riding race
horses to victory, and he is rated as
one of the leading pilots Of the coun-
try.
In spite of the size of his weekly
pay check he's just kid and when
he wants to have some fun he goes
out and plays leapfrog with the rest
of the fellows or dashes around the
streets on a bicycle. Next to riding
bicycle, he likes to eat candy.
Riding a horse is work to me, ne
says, but riding a bicycles fun.

25 races, and his bank account is piled
up accordingly. But, just the same

According to Mack, jockey life IS
no cinch. He gets up at a IA. ana

He has the rest of the morning 10

the first race.
He has to dress anew for every race

MORAN TO TACKLE WILLARD
Efforts Being Made to Secure Match
for Big Pittsburgh Fighter With
the Present Champion.

Since the return of Frank Moran,
the Pittsburgh heavyweight, from Eu-
rope, strong efforts are being made to
match him with Jess Willard for a
championship battle. Moran is a good
fighter and a fine fellow, but there are
other heavyweights in the country
who are just as much entitled to a
chance at the title with Willard.
Moran's greatest feat, so it is
claimed was in going 30 rounds with
Jack Johnson before the latter lost his

PROTECT THE FULLBACK

Special pains have been taken
by the men who rejiggered the
football rules to provide the
fullback with more protection
than he has ever had before,
and that means the fullback is
going to be used more in carry
ing the ball.
The rules, just issued, show
that in regard to the fullback,
distinction is made between
running into" the player and
roughing" him. The player who
runs into" the fullback will
cause his team to be penalized
Is yards, while "roughing" the
fullback will not only bring the
15-yard penalty, but cause the
offending player to be disquali-
fed.
The more the fullback is
bumped the more penalties and
disqualifications the other side
will suffer, so coaches will see
that the fullback is often in 20
sition to be bumped.
Other changes are slight. The
committee decided the game
could not be improved much.
