GREED FOR GOLD
CAUSES JOCKEYS
TO IAKECHANCES

Greed for gold makes some of the
best jockeys in this country care little
or nothing for their health, 1t would
seem. Riders who must take on
weight as they grow older are willing
to undergo the most strenuous rednc-
ing methods In order to accept en-
eaeements which call for comparative
II light scaling. A story was told the
other day Of q crack Jockey now %
years old who endeavored to take OFF
tielIt pounds early in the morning so
that he might ride at 107 in the after
noon, inasmuch as he had received
an offer of 5000 to accept the mount
So that he might reduce more easily
this Young man ate nothing for break
fast and when time for the midday
meal arrived he still went hungry He
was so weak at ? o'clock that he was
advised to drink bottle of cham
4nagne, with the result that he was
scompletely knocked out and was un-
iNble to fill his engagement
Although he was under contract TO
"a leading turfman at fancy salary
lthis Jockey intentionally weakened
himself TO accept an outside mount
for extra pay. His employer never
had objected to this practise, but when
he discovered that the rider was real
ly uniting himself for handling the
stables horses a halt was promptly
called and the jockey was informed
that in the future he would have to
Abey the instructions of the trainer.
The Jockey clubs scale of weights
I'M this country is so much lower than
in Europe that many competent riders
are forced to reduce with injurious re-
suits or go into retirment. As much
money can be earned by riding in
selling races, in which light imposts
prevail, some of the best jockeys for
get that health is valuable asset
In former years when racing on the
New York tracks produced enormous
gate receipts, which made it possible
to hang up rich stakes and purses,
first class jockeys drew handsome
salaries for c0nfning their efforts to
the stables which employed them
Some riders received as much as $685.
900 in salary and retaining fees for
a single campaign, and they did not
have to cut down their avoirdupois.
But conditions are different now and
the Leading riders naturally are will
ing to suffer physical torture in order

The answer is that Mac turned out

1918, teams made up Of men he had
found and developed himself. OF
course, none of these aggregations
won the worlds championship, but
they grabbed the pennant of their
league. McGraw made good. He faces

is the only thing which does. A good
consistent winning streak could carry
any team along to pennant in this
sloppy race. We all think we have

Next year I expect to see Stallings,
McGraw and Mack building again. Con-

slip in and win championship. With
a little luck Miller Higgins might do
it with his st. Louis club during this
reconstruction process.
Frank Chance was great manager,
but he was by no means a builder. He
took hold of strong ball club and by
his virile, driving personality kept it
together and driving along a season or
two after it would have fallen down

FERREIRA TO

Jockey D. Ferrefra announces that
it will be impossible for him to be at
the opening of the San Francisco Ex-
position race meet on account of the
short notice given him by the Manhat-
tan Stables, which wished his serv-
ices. He says that he has to take OF
rs pounds and that Hawaii is bet
ter place to take OF weight than the
colder climate of the coast However,
he will get to the meeting as soon as
possible, and expects to have a busy
season.
Louis Warren, owner OF Umqua, has
offered Ferreira a mount on that
horse in several important races, and
is counting on securing the local rider.

OF Freddie Welsh to take, consider

That boxing would be a hundred

be eliminated gees without saying In
that case practically every bout would
be decisive, either ending in knock
out or disqualification. However.
the idea obviously is impracticable
fer many reasons.
CliEcaing is illegal under the pres

imposed. because to do 50 would make
the sport little too strenuous for
safety. The most practical interpreta-
tion of the code as followed by the
best referees is to penalize the man
who forces the clinch one point I'm
der this system the boxer who jabs
and grabs gets no credit for mis- work
as the point he scores for landing the
blow is Offset by the penalty for
clinching. If this style of judging
bouts were followed more closely men
OF Welsh's type would be forced to

a victory on points.

While it is doubtless impossible to
dispense with the clinch. il would be

Because of Yale's poor showing on

Under new policy il is expected
that the new athletic committee will
take hand to curIail the authority of
the baseball captain in conducting the
seasons campaign. 1t is believed,
after the experience of the past, that
the captain has too much authority,
and uses it often to override policy
directed by wiser heads. 1t is stated
that under the plan now under consid-

for the policy of the team and the

Judging by the number of responses
received by Tom Andrews, the Mil
waukee promoter and boxing author
ity, who has been making tour of
the leading boxing centers in order to
enlist support for his scheme of a ma
tional organization of promoters to
control the sport, something more
than empty talk is likely to come OF
the movement -.
While in New York recently Mr.. An
drews said he had preached the mat
ter to the local promoters and all were
in favor Of the idea and had PROMISED
to lend their support. The aim of
the proposed association is to regulate
the class weights, FIX time limit dur
ing which a champion may hold his
title without defending it and in par
ticllar to do away with the practise
of giving guarantees. Some of the
leading promoters who have promised
to cooperate in order to further the
objects set forth are: ..... -: ....
William Gibson. James Johnson,
Harry Pollock and John Weismantel
Of New York, John McGuigan and
Harry Edwards Of Philadelphia, Miah
Murray OF Boston and Dominick Tor

who compose practically the whole
field of promoters so far as important
clubs are concerned, have promised to
attend a meeting during the month of
August for the purpose OF adopting
the necessary rules and regulations.
