It's fun to keep in touch with what's
happening at home, especially when
you're on vacation. You'll certainly miss
your regular newspaper when you're
away. That's why "out-of-town" news
paper stands are so busy during the
summer. But you can have The Star
follow you wherever you go at no extra

them don't have the founda-
ton the older jockeys had.
But today just ordinary
jockeys can get along well by
behaving themselves. And an
other thing, they are better
educated and hammered, and
this helps them with the
trainers and owners"
Praises ArcarO
Rating the present crop of
riders, Hooper has this to say:
We'll. of course, Eddie Ar
caro- can do everything on a
horse. He knows every trick in
the game and rates his reputa-
tation. He's been a great in
spiration to the younger boys
and helped the jockeys with his
work in the guild.
willie Shoemaker, ! think,
is a helluva rider. He's cool and
a real smart boy, too. He's 60
ing to stay on top a long time"
In recent years. Hooper has
not been in Maryland too much,
but its difficult to mention a
track in the United States,
Canada or Mexico where he
has not ridden. He remembers
riding at Bowie back in 80 or
81 when it was so cold the
management gave the jockeys
white cotton gloves to wear.
Not Quitting Yet
About quitting, Hooper says
he won't until he loses his CO.
ordination. He still exercises
five or six horses every morning
to keep fit. To keep his weight
down, he practically lives on an
eggs and meat diet-skips all
caloric foods. particularly des-
serts and seldom takes a drink
Claude and his wife, Irma,
make their home in Detroit
now but she travels with him
wherever racing takes them.
1t would seem that Claude
Hooper is going to retain the
oldest active rider title in the
United States for a long time.

Claude Hooper, at 81,
Still Booting EN- In
BY JOSEPH B. KELLY
star Racing Editor

About the time AL Smith was
being doomed for President. an
unknown kid out of Windsor,
Ontario, rode his first winner
at Northampton Park, Akron,
Ohio, now known as Ascot Park.
That was in April, 1924.
Thirteen days ago. a horse
named Carolina Rex bounded
home first in the seventh race
at Bowie. The same kid" was
in the saddle. To another gen.
Grafton Of horseplayers he was
equally unknown.
He was Claude Hooper, who
ct So couldn't remember just
what winner in point Of num-
bers Carolina Rex represented
for him. 1t was quite under
standable.
Calls Self Oldest Rider
'"I must be the oldest active
rider in America. I know !
was So this past February /.
The record books don't show
any older riders" Hooper re-
lated in the Bowie jockey room.
But you know I'm a little
suspicious about Johnny Long
denis age. ! remember when he
first came around the tracks in
1927 and I thought he was old
then. He could be older than
me but he's supposed to be 48
and I guess that makes me the
Oldest"
You could never tell Hooper's
age by his movements or figure.
Middle age has not slowed his
reflexes to any extent or added
pounds. At S feet /, he has no
trouble making 10 pounds. His
face, leathery and lined, goes
along more in keeping with his
years.
Reminiscing about jockeys
and riders. and he has ridden
against most of the best from
the 1920s to the present era.
Hooper believes the art of race
riding has reached a higher
plane.
Riding Cleaner Now
Riding today is much cleaner
and closer supervised. Riders
don't go out of their way any
more to bother you in a race.
1T used to be anyway you
could mess around another
horse in a nice, slick sort of
way which was considered good
riding.
You take Earl Sande. He
was probably as rough a rider
as ever threw two legs over a
horse. Everybody used to say
he would shut of his own
mother in a bicycle race.
But that was the style in
those days and believe I would
have to say Sande was just
about as good as they come,
Hooper relates.
Nowadays. these boys as a
group are not as good riders
as 20 or 80 years ago. Most of

Heating, CeIIef
Disagree Over
Pro Sports Bill
BY the Associated Press

1y the ASSoclhLeo FreSt
Representative Heating, Re-
publican Of New York. told
Congress yesterday q bill to
straighten out the antitrust
status Of baseball and other
professional team sports could
-as now written-eyentually
ruin them.
Representative Celler, Dem
ocrat Of New York, promptly
retorted that the changes
Heating proposed are backed
only by baseball magnates''
who want to 60 hog wild"
The House judiciary Com
mittee, Of which Caller is chair
man and Heating senior mi
nority member. is scheduled to
take UP the night within q few
weeks.
Centers on Phase
The argument centers around
one phrase in q bilt Celler in
troduced. 1t would specify that
the antitrust laws apply to
the business aspects Of pro-
fessional team sports-base-
ball now is outside these laws
by virtue Of q Supreme Court
decision. The Celler bill fur
Their would provide that such
things as the player reserve
clause, agreements on terri
tories, and arrangements to
protect minor league teams
from big league telecasts would
be exempt from antitrust reg
ulation so long as they are
reasonably necessary" to pro-
tect the sports.
Heating would eliminate the
words reasonably necessary
so as to provide a fiat exemp-
ton.
He said in a House speech
that controversy and litigation
over what is reasonably neces-
sary" could "discredit and even
tually ruin professional base
ball, football and similar sports. -
Predicts Lawsuits
Heating placed in the Con-
gressional Record a statement
by baseball spokesman predict
ing a torrent Of lawsuits from
the reasonably necessary" pro-
vision and saying. mo more
effective way to destroy organ
lied baseball could be devised. "
Celler said in an interview it
is "only natural for the base
ball magnates" to oppose the
reservation.
"They want to go hog wild.
they want to be able to do as
they please without let or him
drance." Celler said. "Mr. Keat-
ing would say Amen.
The presidents of the major
and minor leagues contended
in a statement prepared by
