He employed two blacksmithS
and when Truman first went
with him Elmer was permitted
to buy $4,000 worth of saddlery
for a start.
You had to dress up, too
Truman said. THE trainer
wasn't supposed to do any work
just supervise. I wore a tailor
made riding outfit with kio
gloves and everything. Mr.. Kill

right.
When we were away from

did each day, and if he didn't
think you were training them
properly you heard about it. He
even bought his own stop
watches, the finest money could
buy. to make sure the. trainer
got the time right
Truman quit riding in 1910
when his weight began to soar
but not before he got one OF
the worst rights of his life at
Hot Springs. Ark. It seems that
the sheriff had vowed there
would be no racing there at
this particular time and an

Jockey who appeared on the

Worried About Sheriff.
II drew No. post position
for the first race" Elmer re-
counted, land I was so busy
watching the sheriff it was all
I could do to sit on the horse. +"
Nothing happened because the
crowd closed in on the Officer and
prevented him from drawing his
gun.
Later. Truman had the unus-
ual record of riding the horse
Cadillac to victory on five con-
Secutive days.
"Squint Stevens, the man who
drops the flag for the races at
most major tracks now, includ-
ing Bowie, was the trainer" Tru-
man declared. you talk about
running a horse twice a week
now and some people think
you're crazy, but a well-trained
horse can run anytime"
AS a trainer. Truman also gave
rivals a mark to shoot at by
winning eight two-year-old races
in four days at Aqueduct. Three
in a row is old hat for him and
there were times when bad for
tune cost him four straight.

Of Truman and Sonny Workman
as winning one in the Old Line

Sonny was a good rider"
Elmer said. HE won some nice
purses for me and I still see him
now and then"
But don't ask Elmer to make
any comparison of jockeys.
1.-THE boys that rode for me
were good, or ! wouldn't give
them mounts, and the stable was
honest, or I wouldn't handle the
horse. That's the only way to get
along in this world" Elmer
summed up.

All the stable boys travelled in
that fashion in those days and
owners devised ingenious schemes
for getting free passage for them.
A favorite was to put a vicious

to discourage inspection.
1t was no royal road to glory,
but a long. uphill climb in a

Even when Truman learned to
ride, Freeman was in no hurry to
rush him along. He preferred to
school the boy slowly. saving him
for races where his apprentice
allowance weighed heavily in
the stables favor.
Freeman was superstitious,
too, and a bit of it rubbed off
on Truman.

Barred ALI Photographs.
"He wouldn't allow any photo
graphs to be made of his horses"
Truman said. II think it went
back to Woodstock, a horse the
owner insisted on photograph
ing. The horse stumbled and
fell that same afternoon and
broke his neck.
Freeman didn't want me to
ride on Saturday either" Elmer
said. But I did anyway. 1t was
my first chance, and that horse
fell and I broke my nose and an
arm. After that I was little
bit superstitiouS myself"
The boys have it lot easier

poraries. Nowadays a Jockeys

OF Action on Browns;
Old Study Continues
BY the Associated Press

The Justice Department says
1t is investigating charges of
violation of the antitrust laws in
the field of sports"-but is not
planning an immediate inquiry
into the case Of the st. Louis
Browns.
The department also said, in
a formal statement late yester-
day, it has not ordered an i'm
mediate investigation of organ
lied baseball.
The statement was issued after
two Maryland Representatives
wrote to Attorney General
Brownell asking him to look into
the refusal of the American
League club owners to let the
st. Louis Browns move to Balti-
more. One of them, Representa-
tive Fridel, Democrat. said he
had been advised by the Attorney
Generals Office that a prompt
investigation would be made.
No Probe Ordered.
The department acknowledged
receiving the letters from Friedel
and Representative Devereux,
Republican. but denied that the
Attorney General had ordered
an immediate investigation into
organized baseball" or into the
club owners action.
It's statement said the two
congressman "have been adj
vised orally that their protests
will be merged for consideration
in connection with other charges
Of violation of the antitrust laws
in the field of sports, which
have been under investigation
for some time"
Cat Tucson, Ariz., Bill Veeck,
owner of the Browns, said he
had not asked any one to in
vestigate anything, knew Moth

tatives' moves and would be
glad if they would keep out

Sees Grave Injustice.
Friedel said in his letter to
Brownell there was no question
in his mind that the American
League club owners have vio-
lated the antitrust laws" He said
a grave injustice had been
done "by a handful of men
in refusing to transfer the St.
Louis Browns franchise to Bal
timore after it had been literally
promised by the same men,"
The Representative urged an
investigation to determine
whether or not an illegal mo-
nopoly exists in the big business
Of baseball"
Commenting on the original
report that an investigation was
imminent, Representative Celler,
