ing establishment Americas current
jockey champion, the diminutive
Johnny Adams, is fulfilling engage
ments
Shorty" Adams, as his friends call
him. probably is the most consistent
rider in the country. His amazing
saddle work at Bay Meadows April
7, when he drove in six consecutive
winners, definitely stamps him as q
Jockey in a thousand"
His name now will 20 down
in the record with that of dusky
monk" Overton, who accom-
plished this feat at Washington
Park in 1891.
There were seven races on the card.
Overton won the first. had no mount
in the second and took the last five,
including the Maiden Stakes, which
was won by Poet Scout. Another
colored pilot. James Lee. under con-
tract to j. B. Respess OF Cincinnati,
Ohio, rode six winners at Churchill
Downs in 1907. This established
world record because he rode every
winner on the program. there being
but six events scheduled that day.
More "Six- Win" Jockeys.
The next boy to boot six winners
home in one afternoon was c. Turner
at Charlestown, S. c.. in 1912, but
his record was marred by the fact
that in the sixth race he finished un-
placed. there being seven contests
down for decision that afternoon.
On July S. 1916. at Reno, New, the
apprentice. Herman Phillips. rode six
winners. the full card for that days
racing. and so duplicated James Lees
world record On September II, 1919,
at Havre de Grace. Md. Jockey Earle
Sande rode six of the seven winners,
failing in the first race and then
taking six in succession.
Albert Robertson joined the
select group when he rode six
winners out Of seven mounts at
Oriental Park. Havana, Cuba,
February 10, 1928.
Another Adams, Albert. rode six
winners at Marlboro in 1880. He ac-
tually rode nine consecutive winners.
He rode the last two winners on Sep
tember 10, six (all his mounts on
SEPTEMBER IL and the first on Sep
tember r. B. Haas rode six winners
at Thistledown in 1888
In 1890 J. Sylvester rode seven win
ners out of eight races and came close
to surprising all existing records His
feat was accomplished at the small
Ravenna Park, Ohio, meeting.

In SO or more years only these nine
boys have been able to crash the head
lines by plotting six thoroughbreds in
row past the judges stand in any one
afternoons racing in the United
States.
This is the select group now joined
by Johnny Adams. Johnny Is clean
cut, likeable youth. He is one of the
hardest working race riders in the
sport. He has been in the saddle only
few years. but already his exploits
have won him lasting fame on the
turf.
The 23-year -old jockey is married
and father. He and his family live
in a modern trailer, which he moves
from track to track.
He Is dead serious about his
work, and has begun to lay
aside nest egg"
A few years ago Adams was a farm
boy. He saw plenty horses then, but
always from behind plow. He
started his riding career in the bush
league, the so-called bull pens" and
country fair circuits. But Johnny
had something that has since proven
to be big help in his chosen profess
sion. His stature is perfect for a
good race rider. Standing only 5 feet
high and fitting the scales at between
100 and los pounds, Adams physical
structure is such that all his weight
and power is in his massive shoulders.
He has big. powerful hands, one OF
the decided attributes of good jockey.
Adams Has "Will to Win"
Physical makeup. however impor-
tant, is not the main requirement of
a top-notch saddlesmith. A jockey
must also possess competitive courage,
a brain capable of working overtime
If it need be, and the will to win"
The last-named requisite is that inde-
finable something that all champions
must have, and needless to say Adams
has it in large quantities.
Last year Adams won the Jockey
championship OF the Nation, riding
260 winners. 1t was the second best
years win in Is years. the mark being
surpassed only by Jackie Westrope.
then an apprentice. who won the
crown in 1888 with 301 winners.
Adams was the first full
fedged pilot to win the title
since Ivan Parke took the hon.
ors in 1923.
In the intervening period the cham
pionship had always gone to appren-
tice riders who had the advantage of
a 5-pound bug" Allowance.
The champion booter has been criti-
cized freely for his lack of riding
seat" lack of recognized riding form. -
But he has that will to win and the
inherent ability to get 'em down in
front, and in the final reckoning that's
what they pay of on.
At this writing Adams Is leading
the Nations riders with close to 10
winners. He has q great chance to
win the jockey title again this year,
a feet that hasn't been done since
Ivan Parke scored in 1923 and 1924.
This column is pulling for him to
scale the heights again and will watch
with much interest his feats as 1888
rolls by.
