Richcreek Rides Like
Blind Lad at YOnkerS
Sande Offered $4,000
to Ride for Hildreth

r. ARL SANDE. the noted jockey,
X whom host OF horsemen
- proclaim the best race rider
since the days Of Tod Sloan, arrived
here yesterday from Canada, where
he severed his connections with
Commander J. X. l.. Ross after the
Canadian sportsman had refused to
allow him to ride Sir Barton in the
match, race against Man O. War last
Tuesday. On his appearance on the
track at Empire City he received a
round of loud and sincere applause
from the crowd, and two minutes
later he returned his mount, Berlin,
an easy victor.
fered several fiattering contracts for
next season, but that he was not
going to sign up for a week He
said Commander Ross released him
from his contract for next year the
day following the match race and
that the following day Guy Bedwell
offered him a fee of $4,000 to re-
main with the stable next season.
He refused this and came to this
city at the request OF several prom
inent owners. Among the offers he
received was one OF $4,000 from
S. c.. Hildreth and another from
Walter J.. Salmon. James Rowe,
trainer for Harry Payne Whitney
also offered him a big retaining fee

accept the lad will ride as n free

and that 1t was the first time in his life
he had seen a Jockey nave his mount
shut off by the fence Others were will
ing to wager that the lad was riding
with his eyes closed, as many young
riders do.
After losing half dozen lengths by
this mishap Richcreel got his mount
Strengthened out again and raced after
the field. which was led by The Wit.
Rounding the far turn Richcreek gave
Lord Herbert a free rein again and the
horse bounded forward. But Beaumaris,
with Hummer In the saddle, was in front
of him and trifle out from the rail
AS Lord Herbert reached Beaumaris's
tail Hummer swung over to the rail ana
shut him Off. This caused RichcreeiS
to take up and lose another half q dozen
lengths.
Whether or not Hummer was far
enough in front to have the right TO
swing back to the rail is matter OF
conjecture, but no other rider except
Richcreek would have attempted TO
sneak through so small an opening with
veteran rider ahead of him. TX Rich
creek had gone around his field. as he
should have. Lord Herbert would have
been returned an easy victor, for when
Strengthened out in the homestretch he
@ weak finish got home in third place,
only head behind The Wit and a
length in the rear Of War Plume, the
winner.
Lord Herbert was so much the best
that it Is likely he would have won by
dozen lengths in a gallon If he had
received even fair ride.
The little jockey was more chaerined
after the race than any OF those who
wa gered on him. All the jockeys and
stable lads around the paddock joshed
him about his great ride. and he was
on the verge of crying when his valet
hustled him to his dressing room. Rich
creek is only II years old and weighs
about eighty-five pounds. He is not
novice by any means. for he has
ridden a score OF winners. But IL is a
saying on the turf that the horse he
rides must be ton the best to win.
After the race Lord Herbert returned

past bearing James Arthur's colors. but
when defeated Edward Arlington claimed
him for $4,000.

No Time Now For Any Clubs
to Hold AloOf From Dis
cussing Needs.
BY WILLIAM n. HANNA.

Even If Ban Johnson does think the
full disclosures OF the Grand Jury's In
vestigations should be awaited before
attempting to project plans for recon-
struction of the government OF base
ball, what objections are there 20 his
and his sets attending the meeting in
Chicago and discussing the situation?
Any attitude just now OF sitting back
and ignoring discursory proceedings is
reactionary. The time Is particularly
appropriate for discussion and inter-
change of views. IL not for action. Tor
Johnson and his five clubs to hold aloof
is more OF q hindrance than IL help
toward an eventual different method OF
administration, to which the needs OF
baseball have grown.
Baseball has como to be such big and
important institution in national life
that many level headed baseball men
and countless thousands OF fans be-
lieye the National Commission has out
lived it's usefulness and that the game
has outgrown 1t. That being so. this
10 no time for standpatism. II johnson
and his SETTLE Washington, Philadel-
phia, Detroit. Cleveland and st. Louis
Ciubs--are alert to this condition they
havo done nothing to indicate II, and
the reactionist Is especially rnalapropos
at this time. He is rather narrow who
won't even listen to the views of others.
John Heydler, president of the Ma
tional League and a member of the
National Commission, believes ~the lat
ter body has outlived its usefulness.
that it Is out Of date In the games ex-
pansion and needs and that his place
in the executive and legislative depart
ment OF baseball is at the head Of his
organization, with no further Jurisdic-
ton. That ie the big view and the
broad view. It 10 not the view OF the
mossback, but OF one who isn't blind to
changing times. II Is an attitude about
which there IS nothing small or selfish,
and at least the view Of one who be-
lieves in getting together and talking
il over.
The chief difficulty OF the eight Ma
tional and three American leaguers who
would cut loose from archaic govern
ment seems to be the personnel OF the
proposed supreme court OF three. Some
OF the names mentioned are OF men too
far from baseball Few names which
carry conviction that they would fill the
bill have been mentioned. Yet there are
men In plenty, with no affiliation what
ever with the game save their love OF Il
or sympathy with It. who would I'll the

the colors OF Mrs Wilfrid viau home

Hartsdale Handicap, the feature of the

son, she went to the post suffering

her suffering and sped away from

from the crowd, 1t was the ride of
Richcreek on Lord Herbert in the fifth
race that was the chief topic Of con-
versation at the end of the days sport.
If this little Jockey were Lotus, or
an Ensor, or a Hummer he probably
would be ruled off the turf immedi-
ately. He did everything a rider could
do to have his mount beaten, but he
wasn't accused of anything crooked or
criminal. The majority of racegoers
knew he was bad rider, that his
wretched ride was not intentional, and
they merely CRASHED their teeth and
proclaimed him the worst jockey in
America.
The event was at one mile and d
quarter, and Lord Herbert was consid-
cred a sure winner and made the ia
vorite at II to 20. Richcreelp got his
mount off well and was racing in nice
position until nearing the first turn.
Then, to the surprise Of all. he crashed
his mount into the fence without appa-
rent reason. This move brought forth
