 New York, June 4. (UP)-Frank "Frenchy" Hawley is racetrack feller; but it's not the hosses that bother limits the women
 They're after him in increasing hundreds each month-ctorus gals, models, steno's, matrons, etc. Wom- en who are afraid of becoming fat seek him cut because of his success in keeping little men small-jockeys. He is the most successful trainer of racing riders in turf history.
 HaWley is a middle-sized French Canadian Of 49, whose jet black hair and athletic build make him look at least 10 years younger. Some 60 jockeys at what ever big track is running trust their bodies-their Weights-and their futures to him. And their confidence is expressed in their familiar greeting: "Poppa.
 Weight is al-important for a jockey; poundage is more important for a pro rider of thoroughbreds un- uuestionably than for member of any other profession. The average "jock" tries to keep at about 1O3 pounds, so that he and his tack uniform, saddle etc.-Will not ex- ceed no, or at most 1l5.
 Even for a little man. 1t is dlt- fcult to remain fyweight. Down through the years jockeys have run miles on the road in the morning to take off weight, and in emer- gencies have buried themselves in 1F ct u-ith Oroly their heads sticking out-to make certain that the surplus flesh has been sweated of.
 Frank Hawley, a former profeS- sional fighter, accomplishes the re- ducing job for jockeys in such a modern, stream lining, cleanly fashion that he is hired by the major New York and Florida rac- ing associations to condition the riders. Every major track in those areas have provided him with a large and modernly- equipped train irg room-as an important part of the jockeys quarers.
 There are two secrets to flaw leys success: CD He has devised a connection of salt solutions and Amonia in which one can bathe, (O Meanwhile having the bath take the most beef off certain selected spots of the body which have been annointed with secret rubbing cream that increases the heat on those parts.
 There is such a close association between the racing world and the realm of the theater that HaWley's $ fame has spread throughout the entertainment universe. And now chorus gals, models and several big-name actresses are seeking his services-to say nothing of the ma tron who own-or who have friends who own hosses.
 "Poppa" Hawley attained the peak of his career just before the opening of the recent meeting at Jamaica-after the long idleness of the racing ban. Suddenly he had to get more than 60 jockeys into riding weigh. I.e estimates that he took off more than 300 pounds dur ing five days that preceded the opening. And he had to do it ir such fashion that 1t left none ol the riders too weak to handle theil | spirites mounts.
 A few years ago he took off 24 pounds in A hours from Jockey Kenny Force, and readied him tt ride a hoss called Rhyme anc Reason" on Christmas Day. Aftel this tremendous exertion, that lef force so weak he hardly could ride the hoss failed to live up to it nar.e and got left at the post.
 Hawley says, I'm fighting off tht
