until the last yearling had been tried
at the old track at Oklahoma, I
clocked them with painstaking care
and I was prepared at all times
with my figures and my hard-won
information to render a tipster
service to my family.
During those early mornings I
naturally came to love racing, but
more than that. 1 began to un-
derstand and appreciate the cour-
age and personality of thorough
breds. the generosity of winning
owners, the uncomplaining sports
manship OF losers, the democratic
comradeship of the turf, which plays
no favorites; and behind all this,
as its background. the varied color
and the excitement-all of which
I now recognize to be the spirit Of
racing.
Those years as a tout found me
hobnobbing With trainers. Jockeys,
swipes. exercise boys. and even
stewards. I heard all about the
tricks of the trade, the good and
the bad. I was not unduly critical
Of either. For instance, when I
was told by learned doctor of
the turf that Benedictine could stir
a sluggish horse to high endeavor,
my only reaction was to experiment
on myself, with very moderate sue
cess. ,..
THE years Of apprenticeship were
of real value. They gave me the
love of the sport and an understand
ing OF the men whose lives are
wrapped up in it. Today when a
jockey is suspended 1 hope can
understand the necessity for the
penalty. but I know I can under
stand the bitter disappointment to
the boy
When Whitney was boy 1t could
not be said that racing was IN its
infancy as sport, but 1t certainly
was in its youth as q business.
Twenty years ago there were less
than 1000 days Of racing at all the
tracks in North America. and the
total distribution in stakes and
purses was considerably under So
600, 900 for the entire year. For the
most part. the sport was confined
to three States. New York, Mary
land and Kentucky.
Last year there were between 1000
and 5000 days of racing in this
country and more than $4,000. 900
was distributed in stakes and purses.
A total of % States permitted thor
oughbred racing and in these States
the purse distribution ranged from
$l00, 900 up to $4,000, 900. These fig-
ures show the vastly greater amount
of money involved in racing today,
and necessarily the vastly greater
number of people who must make
contributions to the sport. It has

Sighted Horses Give
j. ). lis Best Year
On British Turf
BottIeship and Flares
Are Not Included in
Foreign Stud Book
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 10.-Two Ameri-
can horses that didn't even rate
the British stud book this year gave
the United States its most success
full season on the British turf.
They were Mrs. Marion Dupont
Scott's son of Man O. War, Battle
ship, which won the Grand Ma
tional at Aintree, and william
Woodward's Flares, offspring of Gal
liant Fox and winner of the coveted
Ascot Gold Cup. Battleship won
at 40-1 and Flares at 100-7, both by
q head.
The shock was so great over here
that some writer's have condescend-
ed to suggest that the American
"upstarts" be included in the stud
book next year. In addition, Wood
wards Foxbrough End won the q
year-old title and now is the 6.1
favorite for the 1899 derby.
All around it was an embarrassing
year for the British. The victory of
the French-bred Bois Roussel in
the EPSON Derby gave foreign
horses sweep in the three big
international races.
Tragedy Mixed With Glory.
Unfortunately, America also had
hand in one Of the two great
tragedies of the turf this year.
Bruce Hobb, Cherubic 17-year-old
American-born jockey won the vic.
tory Of the year on Battleship. the
youngster broke his back on Novem-
Der when the horse he was riding
In a race at Cheltenham fell. He
still is in a nursing home in Oxford
and may never ride again.
The other tragedy was the death
Of Hugh Lloyd Thomas, Minister
Plenipotentiary at the British En-
bassy in Paris. Thomas fell on his
horse. Periwinkle. while preparing
to ride Royal Mail in the Grand Ma
tional.
Champion trainer of the British
nat racing season was Capt. C.
Boyd-Rochfort, who handles the
horses Of the American sportsmen,
Woodward and j. E. Widener.
Horses conditioned by Boyd -Roch-
fort won $256.75o, to give him top
honors for the second successive
year
Richards Again Top Jockey.
Gordon Richards. Englands per-
ennial best jockey Of the year, won
more races, 206. than any other
rider. and Lord Derby topped both
owners and breeders.
Certainly the shrewdest or luckiest
owner was Peter Beatty. who bought
Bois Roussell for $4,000 just before
the horse won the Derby. Later he
purchased Foxglove End for $4,000
the day before the horse won the
gold vase at Ascot.
The best 3-year-old of the year
was Sir Hugo Cunliffe Owens fllly,
Rockfel. In fact. it is generally
agreed this winner of both the One
Thousand Guineas and the Oaks is
the best filly this generation Of rae
ing experts has seen. The most
consistent performer was James K.
Ranks Scottish Union. which won
the St. Leger and finished second
in the Derby and Two Thousand
Guineas.

Test for Gevinson
In Comeback Try
Victim Of Overmotchinq
Hopes to Regain Some
Prestige Tomorrow

Lou Gevinson. Washington's SOUTH
paw lightweight, makes another
comeback attempt tomorrow night
in an 8-rounder with Pete Galiano
of Baltimore at Turner's Arena, the
same hall where two years ago he
was hailed as a coming champion.
In those days, fresh from string
Of impressive amateur victories. Lou
had a good left and fair right,
and at times seemed reservoir Of
natural ability. That was before he
was overmatched with boxers like
Tony Dupre. Petey Sarron and Nor
ment Quarles.
He started with victories over
strictly fourth-rate opponents. only
to be stopped when one of them,
Johnny Pena of Baltimore surprised
every one by winning l0-round de-
cision. Lou came back to knock
dhim out in six rounds bit later.
He then defeated in succession Kid
Covelh. Danny London and Cristo-
bal Jaramillo.
Lou Makes Little Headway.
Then Dupre won a 10-rounder
over Gevinson and destroyed at the
same time some Of his confidence.
Two more wins for Lou, and cagey
Petey Sarron. with one arm prac-
tically useless because of a bone
growth. stepped in to spin him
around for 10 rounds. Last Sep
tember Norment Quarles completed
the work Of destroying Louis pres
tige.
Gevinson celebrates two years as
q pro on December 49, In the
Quarles fight he demonstrated that
he hadn't developed, being especially
weak at infighting, and apparently
was headed for preliminary roles.
He is now %, not old for a fighter,
but already his matches must be
billed as comebacks.
Galiano, a fair-to-medium punch
er, Is more the type Lou should
have been meeting all along, 'tis
said. OF the club fight" clan, he
has appeared in several preliminaries
here, winning recently over Tommy
Rawson.
Claims Maryland Title.
Galiano claims the Maryland
lightweight title, and has been head
lining in Baltimore for about four
years. When Barney Ross trained
for his title defense against Henry
Armstrong, Galiano was his chief
sparmate.
Another 8-rounder on the card
brings back Johnny Dube of New
York against Bulky Taylor of Balti-
more. Both are lightweights. Two
four-round preliminaries arc booked,
the first to go on at $3.50. Frank
Wills meets joey Spangler of Rich
mond in a welter 60, and Pancho
Huerta meets Calvin Calp in .

BILL FERGUSON
LOOMS RACE.
DARK HORSE

Arizona race drivers winning
streak in the semi monthly pro-
grams at the Imperial fair
grounds was threatened as valley
midget drivers prepared to send
their machines around the oval
in tonight's events at Sis.
Lyle Dickey, Frank Hetzel and
other Arizona drivers have sue
ceeded in carrying off most of
the prize money in recent races
and as a result the valley speed
kings are determined to halt the
victory string.
Bill Ferguson. III Centre dare
devil, was rated Cne of the out
standing obstacles in the path of
the Arizona drivers.
Ferguson has been driving i'm
bad luck recently. He turned
over in each Cf his last two starts
and was holding his own i'm the
field at the time of the smashup.
Should he keep his car on its
wheels tonight he may show the
way TO Dickey and Hetzel, the
drivers who have made fans for
get Harding Young and Hobe
Herrick.
