JOCKEYS MUST LOOK
AFTER OWN AFFAIRS
Probably Not Be Permitted to
Engage Manager.
Riders Pay More Attention to Pes-
sonal Representatives Than to
Trainers or Owners--AIso
Prohibited From Betting.

Jockeys who receive licenses to ride
on the New York tracks next year may
not, be permitted to employ agents or
managers to look after their affairs.
The governors of racing have been
carefully investigating the methods
employed by tho Jockeys personal rep
resentatives and the need for reform
In that direction seems to be impera-
tive. It will not be surprising, there
fore, to learn that the riders In fu-
ture will be under the direct control
of several trustworthy officials APP
pointed by the stewards of the Jockey
club and that outside agents or mana
gers will be pronounced nonessential.
According to well.informed turfmen
who desire clean racing several jock
eys the last season had as many as
three or four agents. These agents, IL
Is charged, frequently came In contact
with persons who had little regard for
the welfare of racing. Naturally the
riders paid more attention to their per-
sonal representatives than to the own
ers or trainers who engaged their
eervices. Consequently owners or train
ers frequently saw their horses sus-
tain defeat as n result OF poor riding.
"If the Jockeys engagements are
made by recognized officials in the
employ Of the racing association you'll
see big Improvement next season."

might be wise move to keep the
names of the riders secret until Is

would be impossible. OF course, own

Of certain jockeys would not he affect
ed when competing for stakes, but 1t
might be possible to change present
conditions regarding the engagement
of riders for overnight races"
1t also has been suggested that a
rule strictly prohibiting the placing of
wagers for jockeys By their employers
should be adopted before 1919.

public II rather remarkable football
player. He is Capt, Bill Fincher, left

The most remarkable thing about
Fincher Is that he possesses only one
eye, being absolutely unique in this re-
spect in big college football. Though
Fincher Is handicapped by the loss of
an eye, he still is accurate enough to
have kicked 154 goals from touchdown
out of 1913 trials in three years of foot
