cooped-up confinement for over three
hours is too long. The waiting tells on
their nerves. The usual chatter and
gossip, if not altogether absent, is some
times forced and unnatural, and 1t
encourages another:
1T won't be long now, Sonny"
Or one jokingly queries another:
How did Uncle Billie tell you to ride
his today, Ted?"
Told me to hop off in front and die
there. How about yours? You'll have

IN spite Of this joshing, the strain,
while it tells more on some than on
others. is apparent on all the riders.
The constant change of position, the
inability to keep still for more than
minute Or so, the tearing of q piece of
paper into minute fragments, all betray
the nervous tension under which they
are laboring.

When Albert johnson won his second
Derby three years ago on Bubbling Over
he doubtless received substantial
check from Col. E. r. Bradley, who also
has a reputation for liberality to his
employees. But it is questionable
whether the colonel was as open-handed
when his second-string jockey, Thomp-
son, on Behave Yourself, beat that colts
stablemate, Black Servant, by head
in the Derby of 1921 Thompson's
mistake in not allowing his stablemate
to win cost Bradley lot of money, for
he had backed Black Servant heavily
in the Winter books.

pack and jam themselves into a space
comfortably large enough for half that
number-seventy thousand people keyed
up to fever pitch for American turf

line up at the barrier, to hear the
mighty shout. They're off" and to
see if their choice will verify their con-
fidence by winning.
Yes, it is a thrill to the spectators,
but to the Is or 20 Jockeys. who will
ride in the race. it means the chance
of a nfetime-the opportunity to win
fame and fortune in one two-minute
dash for glory.
So it isn't any wonder that they have
been looking forward to the great con-
test for months. They have been
watching the development of each
entry ever since they were first en-
gagged to ride. And, when all of the

SIX NAMED IN
RACE FOR CITY
CHAIRMAN JOB
G. O. p. Machine Will Make
Choice at Meeting on
Feb. 16.

Six men are mentioned today as
possible candidates for city chair
man of the Republican party, who
is to be selected Feb. Is at a meeting
of all precinct committeeman whose
precincts are in the corporate limits
of Indianapolis.
Members of the political machine
ruled by George V. Coffin, Seventh
District Republican chairman, whose
term as city chairman expires on
the date of the meeting, still are
silent on the organization choice
for the position.
They have not, it is known, even
mentioned the possible organization
candidate to ward chairmen. How
ever, persons close to Coffin declare
that the man backed by Coffin will
be elected.
Several Are Doomed
The names mentioned were:
Ralph Lemcke, one-time mayoralty
candidate; Harry Hendrickson, for
mer county chairman; Irving Lee
meaux, one of the leaders of the
former Lemeaux- Charles Jewett po-
litical faction; Omer Hawkins, for
mer sheriff and now county chair
man; George Snider, county COM
missioner, recognized as a Coffin
man, and John A. George, former
safety board member.
Snider told friends that he would
not be a candidate for the chair
manship, but that if he we're elected
he would accept.
According to county political OBJ
servers, it is not likely that Haw-
kins will take the place.
No Call for Meeting
No call has been issued for a
meeting of ward chairmen prior to
the city Craftsmanship election. This
is considered odd, due to the fact
that for years ward chairmen have
gathered for meetings prior to all
elections held by the machine poll
ticians.
There are 233 precincts in the
city limits. Coffin supporters are
making statements that there are
more than fifty vacancies in pre-
cinct committeeships, but this has
been followed by reports from OPP
ponentS that there are less than
twenty-five vacancies.
