 Many trainers are on the alert for boys to develop into champion ship race riders, for success in sures princely returns.
 This was proven once more in the experience of Phil Reuter-, trainer and owner, and a local youth.
 Reuter- was campaigning his string at Fairmount when freckle faced boy of l6 began lettering around the stables. Reuter- did not encourage the boys presence, but neither did he discourage him. Finally the lad was allowed to ex- ercise some of the thoroughbreds, and the youngster handled them so well that Reuter- signed him up His name is Elmo Shropshire. He
  was put into the silks at the flaw thorne meeting and responded with a string of Is victories. His sue cess was such that race followers began wagering on whatever mount the lad was on.
 Whenever 1 send this little 92 nOun0ar to ride for mo Pputo,. said, q can depend on him to bring my horse into the money. 1 never saw a boy ride better.
 Shropshire is a great jockey and will be greater. This is not misplaced enthusiasm on my part, for only a few weeks ago Harry Payne Whitney offered $25,O00 for his contract"
