BOY JOCKEY
TOPS FIELD
Paul Neal Rides 81 Win
ners During % Day
Meet

HICAGO, July 15.|(P-"Playing
Neal" has been the advice Of many
Chicago racing fans, who found
they could win money on the
mounts of Paul Neal, a 90-pound
apprentice - ar exercise boy until
this year.
The 16-year-old, blue Eyed iai
booted his horse under the wire
first with such frequency at Wash
ington Park that the bettors play
ed Neal"
Neal rode 81 winners during the
% DAYS Of the Washington Park
spring meeting. He had more than
1875 horses lin the money" The
boy was tied with Elmo Shropshire,
an apprentice last year, for first
place. His success stamped him as
the turf's leading apprentice.
Neal takes the cheering with sur
prising calmness. Like all other
| riders, he wants to win the Ken
lucky or American derby.
On the last day Of the Washing
ton Park meeting, Neal rode three
winners. He also had a second and
third that day. In mi streak lie
had five straight winners, riding
the last three winners one day and
| the first two on the following days
card.
Earl Sande, former king Of the
Jockeys, now an owner, called up
on Paul to win a purse for him On
the final day. Sande's horses had
failed to win a race.
ct need some of your luck, Paul.
Sande remarked as he boosted the
little fellow into the saddle on Mi
lady. Bring her in for me-" Neal
did.
Paul is a free lance rider. His
cousin, Holt Neal, books him.
The boy began his turf life as
an exercise boy at Lincoln Fields
two years ago. He rode first at Tia
juana early this year, and won his
first race on Foolscap, February IS.
He remains an apprentice with its
allowance Of five pounds until next
year from Cne GATE OF
his first winner.
Il always can tell when a horse
wants to rum" Neal said. Il like to
rate them off the pace and make
the move at the head of the stretch.
I find I have better luck talking
to them, and shaking them up with
my hands, than in using the whip
hard. If ! find the horse is not up
to a winning move I don't punish
him.
Neal now is riding at Arlington.
His home is at West Frankfort, ILL.,,
and he didn't know much about
horses until he went to work as a
stable hand and then an exercise
boy.

with the heavyweights and Tommy

He has said that if he beats

fistic repertoire so that when hc

Betting odds on the day before
the fight favor Loughran at z to 5

a Wills-D Dempsey battle. Tt never
materialized but Wills, then the
