BENEFIT TAKE AT RACES FOR
 JOCKEYSU URGED
Track MOguIs to Discuss Insurance Fund Plan at
 Detroit August 20
By ROBERT LA BLONDE United Press Stan COFFeSpOndentD

 Detroit (UP)-The mogulS of horse racing will make c move this month to provide some means Of assistance for sick and injured jockeys, exercise boys, groong and stable hands ct the nations lead- ing race plants.
 When racing commissioners, track owners and others afiiliated with the sport assemble here Aug. 20, 2i and 22 for the National Association of Racing Commigsioncrg' conven. ton, the plan for'ar insurance fund will Do discussed. |,
 Operators of the Fair Grounds track in Detroit already have made preparations for . relief fund for injured jockeys. And when the 26-day fall meeting opens Aug. 21, ofiiciajs viii donate the days salaries and the tracks take" at the mutuelS to inaugu- rate the new HoFScmen'S Relief Society of Michigan.
 Model Program Written
 Clarence Lehr, general manager of the Detroit track, and Joseph 4. Murphy, director of racing at the Fair Grounds, conceived the idea of the fund to aid jockeys and gtablemen. And on the basis of their plan, Joseph D. Frost, of the Michigan racing commission, way lay c similar program before the national organization covering all states where racing is legalized.
 Because of the hazards of their calling, jockeys are considered too great a risk by insurance com- panics," Lehr said. "The same is true of stable hands. And because many irresponsible horSemen are operating racing stables, their hireiings have no sort of protec- ton or financial backing in case of injury.
 Experiment Is Extended
 At the end of our race meet ings, we find that hospital bills and similar expenses revert back to our local racing association. Hence, the need for . relief or- ganization in Michigan has been felt for 6 long time. When the idea was first conceived for the Fair Grounds, we meant 1t to handle only the emergencies of the stable and its workers. Since it's in- corporation, however, we have decided to spread its influence to act as a protective agency for every one connected with racing at our plant, so that 1t will not be necessary for anyone to be forced onto city or state charity"
 Since the Michigan organization will function only at the Detroit track, Frost plans to suggest at the national meeting that Q siIni- lar charity day be set aside by each track in the nation at the beginning of every meeting.
 National Home VlsiOned
 Tt would not be long before c national organization such as we have started in Michigan could be formed" Frost declared. "Thus, benefit days at all tracks soon would swell the fund to Q point where the national association might be in . position to extend insurance to jockeys, exercise boys and sick and indigent stable- men. It is even possible that a national home for dependent race track people could be founded"
