WAS SOME MULuGAN
Printers Had Great Time at Picnic
Monday Afternoon.

Mulligan stew-at least the kind
concocted by George Ellis, of the To-
peka Typographical unions as near
the nectar of the gods as 1t is possible
for human hands to make. This is the
opinion of every man and woman
who tasted the wonderful aromatic
stew at the union picnic at Ripley
park Monday afternoon.
A baseball gamearranged between
the composing room employees of the
Capper Publications and the Daily
Capital turned out to be the basis for
an amending argument as to which
side won the game According to the
score the Publications men won S to 5
but the Daily men declare that the
score keeper was prejudiced. Other
sports on the program were horseshoe
pitching contests and a woman's ball
game.
After the athletic carnival short
talks were made by Frank p. Mac
Lehman, publisher of The State Jour
nal; T. A. McNeal, editor of the Mail
and Breeze; Guy Morse. of the Hall

the point of yielding to the temptation
 of trick riding. It will say to them:
 Ride straight and ride clean. Do
 not become involved in any peculiar
 performances. Be careful of becoming
 involved in form flipflops. Don't have
 the finger of suspicion pointed at you.
 If you do, you will lose your license
 and you will be through with the game in which you are earning a splendid living at the present time."
 The Jockey club, in it's efforts to purify racing in the New York dis trict, is making other investigations.
 These undoubtedly are aimed at what is known as an "operators' ring" It
 was charged in many quarters last
 year that number of big bettors had
 snared few jockeys who were doing
 their bidding-instead of their best. Whether this report has been verified
 by the club is not known. But the
 fact is indisputable that during the last month or so of 1918 racing around the New York tracks some weird races were run.
 Favorites, which outclassed the field, l were beaten time and again-and with star jockeys aboard Form flipflops became the rule-not the exception. There were charges frequently of pulling" Sponge stuffing incidents cropped out. Many foolish rides were sHoWn. ASaln ana aSaln horses When had a race "sewed up" were slowed down a few jumps before the finish line-and another animal would beat him by rod. Jockeys lamely excused the beating of apparent winners by saying they pulled up the horse be- | cause they figured the race was "in" But the repetition of such defeats made things look qdeer and even queerer. l On one occasion a judge found it necessary to go to the paddock as the horses were being saddled and say to one of the jockeys:
 II see you have whip. I want you l to use it."
 Perhaps the refusal of the Jockey club to grant licenses to the two top- notch riders in the turf world will teach many jockey a lesson that will guide him in the future
