When does professional horse
man become an amateur jockey:
And when does sporting gentle
man who also is a professional
jockey suddenly cease to be a
gentleman rider?"
Last week the answer became
apparent. It is: when the
poobahS of the Maryland Hunt
Cup so decree"
These august protectors of the
simon pure in hunt racing an
nounced before the 56th Maryland
Hunt Cup that Frank D. Dooley)
Adams, leading United States
rider over jumps in 1851 and one
of the all-time greats in the sport,
had been refused a chance to ride
Gift of Gold in the Hunt Cup. 1t
was explained that young Mr..
Adams, whose avocation is fox
hunting and whose skill is phe-
nomenal, was not quite up to
snuff because he gets his riding
pay through the Office of the rae
ing secretary.
This is an interesting technical
ity since at least three amateurs"
who rode in the 1852 Maryland
Hunt Cup probably would not eat
too we'll if deprived of the income
they get from the horse business.
Two of them, most likely, would
admit that they are regularly on a
trainers payroll.
Checks Passed Under Table.
Thus the Maryland committee
reduced the question of amateur
status to question of Where
do you pick up your check?" Do
you take it publicly. charging reg
ular jockey fees, or do you get it
passed to you under the table? In
the latter event, you may stay on
q trainers payroll all winter, but
you are not being paid for the
races you ride on his horses in the
spring. Or that seems to be the
way the shots are called in Mary
land.
I Make no mistake about it. There
are few if any riders who go
through with this farce because
they like it. Most of them are
proud of their skill. Being called
an amateur" rankles. Further
more, the very riders who are
forced into this sham are the ones
who have enough sporting blood
to want to take on the top Steeple-
chase jockeyS-including the pros
and beat them over timber,
hurdles, brush or on the turf.
Since they have always run an
eminently fair and sporting meet
ing it may be hoped that the men
who manage the Maryland Hunt
Cup decided this year to take a
stand which would bring the
amateur-pro controversy to a re-
duction ad absurdam-andt there
by force the National Steeplechase
and Hunt Association to go little
further in its recent swing toward
candor in racing rules.

dG AUdIIlS, WHO IldO D6en IOunQ &C.
Iceptable at the Carolina Cup and
the Virginia Gold Cup and had
won both races with Gift of Gold.
AS one report put it, Adams was
barred because he has been paid
money for riding horses through
the racing secretary's window at
"a major track" Well, any boy
who rides horses through the rae
ing Secretary'S window should get
paid, double doubloons, too.
Story Causes RumorS.
But this story caused two rumors
to circulate at the Hunt Cup. One
group contended Adams had been
barred from the track. Another
insisted it was because he had
taken money" from the racing
secretary's office. 1t so happens
both are untrue. Dooley is still a
Jockey in good standing with the
SteeplechaSe association and he
is not given to larceny. The
rumors merely prove that some
horsemen can't read or prefer to
yak, thereby building tall tales
out of small matters. They also
prove that the confusion isn't do
ing the sport any good.
One former gentleman jockey,
now a trainer, said before the
Maryland race,
ANY boy who knows how to
ride and has the CUTS to 60 out
over this course ought to be al
lowed to start"
Certainly the bunch in the
saddle that day were dead game
whether they were owner-riders
and true amateurs, or profession
ais who had been reclassified for
the day. Dan Brewster had a re-
fuSal and a fall off his Bachelors
Double, but finished the course
Sidney Culver turned over at the
18th fence, remounted and fell
again at the 18th. He, presumably.
would have kept right on around
by leaps and tumbles except that
his horse was knocked out.
George Arrowsmith had a tired
gray horse under him after the
first turn of the course, but he
plugged along until he fell at the
21st fence, then remounted and
walked the horse to the paddock.
Tiger" Bennett was set back by
a 12th-fence refusal and came in
third, practically. as one expert
said, carrying his mount in his
arms.
Thus it gets down to tacks. You
can't jump the committee without
blaming the plucky riders who
play a role in the amateur"
farce. since they must follow the
rules.
Editor Offers Solution.
What to do? The Chronicle. q
sensible Virginia horse paper run
by Editor-Publisher Stacey Lloyd,
says in an editorial this week that
we have to grow up over here and
realize that rider who has won
10 races under rules is no longer
an amateur in any sense of the
word. Such a rider knows the
score as no amateur will ever
know it, and in England he is
classified as a pro - even if he
gives his jocket fees to his valet.
If such a rule went into effect
here, the Maryland Hunt Cup
people could have a choice of the
type race they wanted - race
horses schooled to jump timber
and ridden by pro boys and am
bilious amateurs, or hunters who
can hit good lick with riders
