JOCKEYS
TOO FEW
BY Tom Throp

Horsemen are hopeful winter rae.
ing will develop some additional rid
ing talent. The present season has
furnished very little in the line Of
fIrst-class riding material. With the
exception of one or two promising
apprentice lads. few riders of any
thing more than mediocre ability
have been shown on local course.
The practice incorporated by Henry
Pebier. racing secretary at Jamaica
and Aqueduct, granting apprentice
lads who have not ridden 20 win
ners an additional allowance Of five
pounds in other than claiming or
selling races, gave promise of de-
veloping some genuine riding ma
terial
Al few owners Of high-Briced
Jockeys got the ruling body Of
the sport to put an end 70 this
popular move by having the
Jockey Club amend It's rules so
that seven pounds is the most
an apprentice lad can receive
today. This put an abrupt end
ing to what was surely develop.
ing good riding material.
Sportsu1en and horsemen say it is
easy to go into the market and
lobtain a good horse. but that 1t is a
difficult job to procure the services
of a good. trustworthy jockey.
Because of this the owners of big
racing establishments are insisting
that their trainers devise some way
| of developing new riding material.
Among the prominent owners who
! had to depend on the lesser lights
of the saddle this season are Mrs.
Virginia Fair Vanderbilt. Victor
Emanuel George d. Widener. George
Sloan, G. Herbert Walker. Samuel
Riddle, Walter M. Jeffords. Mrs.
Katherine Elkins Hit. j. S. Cosden.
Charles w. Leonard, Mrs. Raymond
Baker and j. Z. Madden.
These spOrtsmen and sports.
| women are eager to engage
flrst.rate. high-salarIed jockeys.
but there are no such jockeys
available.
The demand for real riding talent
lis much greater than A4he supply.
The decision of Earl SaAde to retire
from the game leaves big hole in
the ranks of our riders. Also. Johnny
Callahan will be another big loss.
Both were stars of their profession.

lit is going to take some time. Both
will be sadly missed.
Johnny ,Maiben will return to
Walter J. Salmon's stable in the
spring. Bill Kelsay has renewed his
contract with Clifford A. Cochran.
Pony McAtee and Harold Thurber
will ride again next year for Mar
shall Field and Robert L. Gerry.
Danny McAuliffe has been re-en'
gagged to pilot the horses belonging
to William Woodward. Mrs. Henry

Commenting on figures given out
by the State Board of Health, show
ing "a more deaths due to auto acci-
dents in Minnesota in 1927 than in
1926, c. NJ. Babcock, commissioner of
highways, made plea for better en-
forcement of traffic laws and called
special attention to the need of en-
forcing the law against glaring head
lights. He also asks newspapers,
parents, teachers and auto clubs to
give serious attention to accident pre-
vention.
IF we are to have a reduction in
the number of accidents, there must
be consistent and not sporadic en-
forcement of the traffic laws. But to
effect a real decrease in accidents, ev-
cry driver and every pedestrian must
be continually on the alert. News
papers, parents and teachers can do
no more useful service than conduct
ing continuous safety campaigns, call
ing attention not only to the need of
obeying traffic regulations but to the
imperative necessity of being cautious
at all times, both when driving and
when walking.

the most fruitful sources of accidents.
