Down the Stretch
BY GREG JOHNSON.

HIALEAH PARK, Fla, Feb. IT,
Roy Jack Flinchum, 17-year -old
Miamsburg (Ohio) lad, is the great
est riding prospect to hit the Amer
ican turf in 10 years.
That's the opinion Of millions of
racing fans who viewed the first IS
days of sport at Hialeah.
"One-a-Day Jack" that the mon
iker hung on the lad, whose bright
green eyes with the merry twinkle
look steadily at you from a baby
face. Flnchum isn't posting winners
as fast as Don Meade, Americas
leader for 1899, did in his comeback
here last winter, but he is doing all
right by himself with his one-a-day
average.
Roy Jack rode his first winner on
March IA, 1899, at Oaklawn Park,
Ark. He scored on Odessa Beau.
Last year his record was 127 winners,
108 seconds and 81 thirds. He should
surpass easily those figures this year.
Ben Jones, the wizard of Parnell,
Mo-, who trains the Calumet Farm
string Of Warren Wright of Chicago,
is said to be endeavoring to put
Flinchum under contract. Should
this happen, Flinchum should ride
many more winners, as Jones, who
has So horses in his barn, is a past
master at getting a horse ready for
a winning effort.
Flinchum practically has sewed
up the gold medal which Joseph E.
Widener yearly awards the leading
winning apprentice at this meeting.
He has done so well that he also will
top the older riders. Quite an ac-
complishment, for he is riding
against such as Eddie Arcaro, Don
Meade, Alfred Robertson, Wayne
Wright, Irving Anderson, Buddy
Haas and other topnotchers.
Unspoiled by his success and able
to scale around 100 pounds, Flinchum
seems destined to become as popular
with American racing fans as any
boy who ever threw q leg across
saddle.

Selections for Fast Track at HioIeoh Park
(BEsT BET-vEILED PROPHET.)

FIFTH RACE-W ODvALE
LASS, PLOWSHARE, SATIA-
TION.
WOODVALE LASS has run two
splendid races at this point and
the Peace Chance filly should
capture the important money
here. PLOWSHARE has several
brilliant workouts. SATIATION
has finished second four success
sive times.
SIXTH RACE-BALLO TER,
TRANSMITTER, LACKA-
WANNA.
BALLOTER turned In a dis
NAL effort in his last but his pre-
vious form says he should do
much better. TRANSMITTER
has been raced and worked into
the proverbial pink Of condi-
ton. LACKAWANNA has q
stout chance.
SEVENTH RACE-TOP NOTCH
Err, JACQUELLA, READY
ABOUT.
TOP NOTCHER is q six-year-
old maiden and that is a bad
recommendation, but hts recent
efforts have suggested fitness
and this opposition is cheap.
JACQUELLA ran second in her
last. READY-ABOUT may be
close.

Auto Dea lers
Seek Changes
In Title Law
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, May 6.-Ihe automobile
dealers Of North Carolina are pre-
pairing to re-introduce in the 1871
LEGISLATURE and press for passage over
what they call opposition Of the
county courthouse group" meas
ire making drastic changes in the
present statute concerning u-.'- 10
motor vehicles in the state.
Recommendations fer the changes,
which would make North Cardinals
law substantially the same as Vir-
ginia's, have been made by q legis-
Iative committee Ct The y. {. Alto
mobile Dealers Association, ana the
organization will consider them iii
detail at its July convention at Blow
ing Rock.
OF most outstanding interest to the
public at large in the proposed chan
ees would be that which would let
the owner (purchaSer) Of the auto
mobile hold the certificate Of title,
instead of the holder CT the ilen. Ii
Il purchase money mortgage was
given at the time Of the purchase 0!
the car Gas it usually is), this Wouia
be SHOWN on INC Gel lIllCale Vi llt!S
just as it is now.
Another change would provide
that all mortgages on automobile or
accessories subsequent TO issuance Ct
title must be entered on the CERT
ficate to be valid.
The dealers contend that this will
not disturb the present registration
laws, or affect the present law as to
priority of liens, but will make The
certificate of title show the true
status of the liens on the car and its
accessories.
Those closely associated with the
dealers association say that such i
bill cannot be passed unless some of
the strong opposition which came out
against it last session can be con-
verified. 1t will be necessary to break
down the opposition OF the county
courthouse group"
The committee which recommend
ed the changes was composed OF Jack
Hoover, chairman; S. Parks AicXan-
der Of Durham; {. S. Armstrong,
Elizabeth City; j. Lawrence Lackey,
Shelby; and J. Z. Miller. Greensboro.
