Flapper Has No
Soul, Says Artist
Leyandecker Rates Working
Girl Ahead Of Modern
Young Woman"

Atlantic City, N. j., June 1.-THE
modern girl has no heart, no soul, no
sentiment-if she has she refuses to
admit it," says Frank X. Leyandeck:-
er, one of the best-known artists and
illustrators in the country.
"You do not dare to talk to the
flapper of classics nor of other
serious things" he continued, for
she simply will make no attempt to
absorb them. She is idle, frivolous
and needless of tomorrow. However,
l will admit that she is charming
and often irrestible.
"She looks so young but knows SO
that she could do well
not to know. She assumes no re-
sponsibility. She seeks nothing but
amusement. When a boy reaches the
'flapper' age he usually has some OBJ
legation to fulfill. He gets a job. or
else he is branded as loafer. The
girl, however, spends her time read
ing frothy literature and smoking.
an my opinion the only hope OF
the nation rests upon the working
girl. She has more originality AMI
individuality than the flapper, who
looks to me as if she were made from
die. Each working girl has her
particular style i'll clothes and colt
fure. ....-
But the flapper! How Can you
tell one from another? The o,dy
danger with the working girl IS that
she is apt to become so self-relian1
that she will scorn the help o. mere
man. But that danger is not so prob
able. that any flapper should be
afraid to reform and become work
ing girl"

And he won most OF them. even

a finisher as great, in the minds Of
many, as Snapper" Garrison. And
Storall, a happy-go-lucky youngster,
knew a legion of friends.
Tony Hamilton was probably the
most hated Of negro riders. He was
llliterate in almost everything but
horse knowledge. He nursed grudges;
regarded accidental humping and
jamming as intentional. He was al
ways trying to "get even." He made
many enemies but their existence
failed to halt him from assembling :

Downs, won undying fame for him.

one afternoon. Monk" Overton,

winners at Washington park, July
16, 1891. .#
Tommy. Britton was = famous
negro jockey in the bygone days.
Felix Carr was one of the most pop
ular jockeys that ever rode in the

Perkins ever will be remembered
for their feats of jockeyship. John
Knight was another. The names Of

Isom, J.. Porter, Pete Clay-those
and score of others are indelibly
written on the pages of turf history.
But it seems that with their pass
ing-and the passing Of Murphy.
Sims, Clayton, and the others-there
passed for all time the negro jockey
Of greatness.
Omaha daily bee., 1922-06-12
Copyright. iz2.

The negro jockey has disappeared
almost entirely from the American
turf-and there is no definite way Of
accounting for it.
A quarter Of q century ago some
Of the greatest race riders in all the
world were negroes. As soon as one
dusky-hued star passed from view
another came along to take his place.
But with the temporary death Of
racing in New York state Is years
ago, the great negro race pilots
passed out of the picture-and none
has come since to replace them.
A few negroes ride the saddle to-
day, but only rare few. And they
rank among the obscure performers.
Not one Of. the dark boys of this
era OF racing is entrusted with other
than the cheapest of selling platers.
How different it was in the 80's
and 9Cs-and along into the early
days of the twentieth century!
The most remarkable of all the
negro riders undoubtedly was Isaac
Murphy. No greater Judge of pace
ever lived. His powers in that con-
nection were not merely uncanny,
they seemed supernatural. Murphy
could run horse four furlongs, six
furlongs, mile or mile and ONE
half and then go back to the judges
stand and tell almost to the exact
fraction of second the time con.
suned between each eighth pole.
Murphy had few peers as a finisher
and none as 'nurser' of equine
energy. Again and again he rode
Omaha daily bee., 1922-06-12
Negro Pilots of Horse Flesh Almost Disappear From
American 7urf...Murphy Had Few Peers as Jockey

horses regarded as "quitters" by
other jockeys, nursed them carefully
saved their power to the last furlong
and then would ride them home a
winner with a cyclonic burst OF
speed.
The negro wizard won three Ken
lucky Derbies, FIVE American Derbies,
five Latonia Derbies and was winner
of every important stake race on the
eastern tracks.
Murphy was a polite youngster,
always smiling, always happy-and a
game loser. And beyond everything
else he was honest-he rode his
races to win.
Willie Sims was another negro
riding star. He gained his greatest
fame in the employ of the Dwyer
Brothers. Sims, who twice rode to
triumph in the Kentucky Derby and
in the Latonia, confined his efforts
in the main to the eastern tracks.
In 1893 and again in 1894 he was
king pin jockey of America.
The beau brummel OF all the negro
jockeys was Alonzo Clayton. He al
ways will be remembered as the
handsomest negro-and the most re-
fined and intelligent-that ever rode
a horse. Clayton's passion was
clothes and education. He spent his
money on a wardrobe-and his lei
sure hours in educating himself. His
working hours were devoted to max
ing himself an immortal of the saddle.
For Clayton. in the opinion of many,
was only notch below Murphy in
bewildering horsemanship.
Pike Barnes rose to initial great
nose riding in The west. He ven
tured east only for the big handicaps.
