JOHNNY E.l'TlGGART
MADE GOOD QUICKLY
Jumped From Messenger to Great
Jockey In Short Order.
Famous Little Rider Quit Delivering
Messages to Mount Horse When
Older Brother Was incapaei.
tated-Won His Race.

Little Johnny McTaggart, consid-
cred by many followers of racing the
best Jockey since the great Tod Sloan
quit riding the gallopers, began his
struggle In the big worl;.a.day world
as II messenger boy.
Johnny was born on Manhattan Is
land, and from an humble beginning
as nn A. d. T. Mercury he drifted in
to the racing game, where in four
years time he has worked his way In.
to the jockey major league. Johnny,
of course, got his inspiration to be-
come n jockey from his brother, Tom,
and although Tommy is great jock.
his younger brother has passed him
in the matter of riding winners.
The old saw about good horses maxi
ing good jockeys may be all right, but
according to Johnny McTaggart, the
good Jockeys can ride poor horses to
victory, as he has done so many
times.
Riding under the colors of II. T.
Wilson, and plotting such horses as
the great Campfire. which won nearly
$4,000 for his owner last year, Nc.
Taggart holds the hopes and fears
of those who follow Wilson's colOrs
every time he mounts u horse.
He was seventeen years old when
he first started out ns n Jockey, and
he scaled ut 10 pounds. Today, with
four years added to his age. he cnn
make 1O3 pounds and still be strong.
His first race at Belmont Park, will
always stand as one of the most re-
marknble performances. Johnny was
ut the track with his brother, Tommy,
who was to ride August Belmont's
Mission.
For some reason Tommy could not
ride TINT day. and Johnny put on the
colOrs to see how he would look In

DID JOE CANS LAY
DOWN TO M'GOvERN?
Veteran Ring Fans Still Argue
About Ancient Battle.
"old Master" Of lightweights Ad.
nitted He Had Entered Into
"oentIemen's Agreement" Be.
fore Chicago Encounter.

II was II years ago that Joe Cans,
the "old MASTER among the light
weights. was knocked out by Terri.
BILE Terry McGovern in Chicago. That
battle has been and still Is the subject
of rabid discussion among boxing bugs.
and the anniversary revives the old
question. "Was IL fake?"
Cans himself admitted that he had
entered into "gentemen's agree
ment' before the battle, and by its
terms was to succumb gracefully be-
fore the onslaughts of the Brooklynite
In the fourth round. He declared that
he had found McGovern able to
administer more punishment than he
cared to take, as he himself was under
an agreement not to do anything i'm the
way of real retaliation. and he there.
fore decided to quit In the second
round instead Of the fourth.
That may be the real explanation
of the matter, but there are still many
admirers of Terrible Terry who stead.
fastly believe that he administered u
real Knockout. Certainly the colored
man gave an excellent imitation of a
man who has assimilated hott er
punch than he could stand The news
paper scribes were practically unnni-
nous In crying fake" but nobody be.
lieves that Terry had anything to do
with the fixing. The Brooklyn whirl-
wind always fought to win, and no
suspicion ever attached to his career.

SALE IS SEASONS SUCCESS
Because Newark Did Not Realize on
Smaiiwood Transaction Deficit
Was Noted at End.

"The sale of one ball player fire.
quently makes the season II success
for n minor league club, when the loss
of the money involved means failure"
remarked prominent International
league man.
"Take the case Of Newark and Wal
ter Smallwood for example. Small
wood was the only player sold by the
Newark club, the Yankees purchasing
him. One of the conditions of the
transfer, however, was that in the
event of Smnllwood being drafted the
deal was off. Smallwood reported to
the Yankees, was caught In the draft
and left to join the National army, so
the Yankees did not have to pay the
price decided upon. If Newark had
realized the amount involved in this
deal the club would have closed the
season with balance in the treasury.
1t got nothing and ended the campaign
with deficit"
