    THE SUA DAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 12, 1908.
FINE JOCKEY CROP
FOR NEXT SEASON
Miller the Best, but There Are
a Dozen Others Skilled in
Handling Racers.
NUMBER OF FAT SALARIES
Roller, K. Dugan, Sumter and Del
ahy 'Among Knights of the Sad
die Who Are Classed as
the Topnotcheas.
Xever in the history of the Eastern
turf has the crop of jockeys loomed up
brighter than the one for next season,
says the New York World. We have
more and better riders at the present
time than for five years past. No bril
liant "stars" like Tod Sloan, Snapper
Garrison, Danny Maher, Isaac Murphy,
James Mclaughlin, Arthur Redfern or
Henry Griffin are- among the list, but
Walter Miller is at the top and he is
no third-rater, even if trainers say that
his forte is riding sprinters.
Walter Miller promises to be the pre
mier rider of the country, as he was for
tiie last two years. Iast season he rode
more than 300 winners He improved on
his percentage of 1906. If any man had
continuously placed a $10 fiat bet on all
of his mounts he would have quit the
season's racing speculation with profit.
The one drawback to Miller's success this
year may be in the length of his legs.
In the last six months he has grown very
tall.
Iong legs are a detriment to the suc
cess of the American jockey, as It pre-
' venis them from crouching well forward
on the horses's withers and sitting "snug"
to the saddle. He is under contract to
Thomas Williams at ?20.000 a year.
Joe Notter will ride exclusively for
James R. Keene. He was one of the best
hoys in the saddle last year, and rode
Peter Pan, Ballot and Colin so cleverly
in several races that Mr. Keene hastened
to engage him at the end of the season
at a guaranteed retaining fee of $10,000.
The terms of the contract are similar to
the one unden which Walter Miller
worked last season 5 per cent of the
gross winnings. If Notter lands as many
winners of rich events as did Miller his
financial return will be proportionately
great.
Dugan to Ride for Whitney.
Kddle Dugan, a boy who can ride at 90
pounds, will ride Harry Payne Whitney's
horses. His retaining fee Is $8000, and be
sides this sum he win receive $10 for each
losing mount and $1'5 extra for stake
winners. This boy's career was meteoric.
A year ago he was practically unknown
st the San Francisco race tracks until
Barney Schreiber bought his contract for
a small sum. Under the genial Dutch
man's tuition the boy showed vast im
provement and rode so many winners
that "Boots" Durnell brought him East
and the boy attracted the attention of
several wealthy .turfmen. He was a
source of great profit to Durnell until
that owner was compelled to sell all of
his horses under order of the Jockey
Club. Dugan is now free to ride for
anybody besides Whitney, as his contract
with Durnell was severed by tie ruling
of the turf authorities.
Guy Burns was one of the "finds" of
the season. He began as an apprentice
stable lad under the tuition of W. C.
Daly. Although the calibre of "Pa's"
horses was very poor, he showed such
great skill that It. V. Carman, the
millionaire turfman of L.ong Island,
bought his release for $6000. Under
Trainer Blute's care Burns showed
marked ability and has more than re
paid his employer for the money ex
pended for his apprenticeship papers.
He is one of the most alert post riders
in the country, and not even Walter
Miller can beat him in this respect.
Hums is essentially a front rider, but
Is strong and can ride a desperate
finish.
Sumter's Good Qualities.
"Midget" Sumter, a little lad who can
ride at 70 pounds, proved time and
again that he has the quality of a
great rider In him. Time and again he
has won races over a long distance of
ground, and his display of Judgment of
pace compared favorably with that old
master of the art of long-distance rid
ing, Isaac Murphy. He had to ride
many heavy-headed horses. Instead of
making the fatal mistake that so many
young riders do of drawing the whtp
xnd hitting the horse at a critical stage
of the contest, he always "hand rode"
if lie-found that his horse was inclined
10 swerve. Hieing was one of the hard
est thoroughbreds to ride, but Sumter
handled him in grand style, and won
many races with him. He is a minia
ture Walter Miller physically, and has
much of the latter's qualities of a
rider. Under the instruction of James
H. McOornilrk Sumter should develop
Into one ot the best riders of the year.
Dolaby is Humter's greatest rival.
I. Ike MeCormli'k'e protege, he is in the
lightweight class. He is very alert at
the post, but does not handle his horse
. throughout a race as skilfully as his
rival He is now under suspension at
the New Orleans track for poor horse
manship that he displayed on one or
two occasions. He is under contract to
Dick Watkins.
"Puddln" " McDaniel has shown great
improvement during the last five
months, and has regained the form that
caused many horsemen in the Winter of
1905 and 1906 to believe that he was a
better rider than Miller. At that period
he was the leading Jockey at the Ascot
"I'ark track, in Los Angeles. At New
Orleans McDaniel has ridden many
winners this Winter.
I.ichert rode in grand form at the
Empire City track, and on several oc
casions at the Bennlngs Kail meeting.
1 1 is work was spasmodic, however, ana
he did not retain his brilliancy for any
great length of time, but under a good
trainer's care and attention he might
develop into more than a useful rider.
PELTY SIRMITS TO FAXXIXG
Stands It All Right Till Question of
Nationality Is Brought lP-
St. Louis Republic.
Barney Pelty. the clever pitcher of the
Si. Ixmls Browns, is a wonderful fielder,
and were he able to bit he would become
an infield fixture on most any team.
Pelty possesses more than t the usual
amount of wit and nerve.
While lounging around the hotel in De
troit one evening after pitching a won
derful game, one of the many baseball
fans who seek to get into conversation
with the dianfond stars tlt it up with
Pelty.
"That was a great game you pitched
this afternoon." remarked the fan.
"Think so?" Pelty modestly replied.
"I wondered at the nerve you displayed
in tha inning when the bases were filled
and none out, and yet kept them from
scoring." the fan said.
"It's all easy when you get used to it,"
Pelty replied with a smile.
"Do you know I have taken you for an
Irishman instead of a Jew," the fan said,
and by the way he happened to be Irish,
and was proud of it.
"Well, you mustn't forget that my front
name Is Barney, and there may be some
Irish mixed up in it." Pelty concluded, as
he bade the stranger good-by and walked
up the street in order to avoid any more
fanning.
BIG LIST OF $100,000 WINNERS
Colin and Peter Pan Swell the Num
ber to Twenty-Five.
When Colin and Peter Pan achieved
their now memorable victories on the
turf last season, they placed the num
ber of American thoroughbreds that
have won $100,000 during their careers
on the turf at 25.
Of this lot of money-makers. Domino
leads the list with $203,300. Sysonby
is next with $188,043, Kingston is third
with $142,562 and Colin fourth with
$138,614. This leading quartette were
at some period of their lives owned by
James R. Keene.
Although Iroquois and Banquet are
Included in the list, the money they
earned was won on tracks both here
and abroad. Both horses were Ameri
can bred. Banquet, after he had won
many events in this country and proved
that he was one of the best plodders
in the Hast, went to England where he
added to -his winnings.
Iroquois won the English Derby and
St. Leger. When brought to this coun
try' he raced against George Kinney
and "was beaten. He is the only horse
among the list that has sired a horse
(Tammany) that won $100,000.
While Iroquois carries off the honors
in this respect. Commander and Billet
have proved to be the most profitable
stallions. The former is represented by
two of his progeny, Colin and Peter
Pan, and the latter by Miss Woodford
and Raceland.

UNION TO PURIFY
AMATEUR
RANKS
Effort Will Be Made to Cleanse
Athletics of Country of
Professionalism.
INSTANCES IN NORTHWEST
Seattle dub Is Criticised for Nom
inating as Director of Asso
ciation Paid Employe ot
the Organization.
BY W. J. PETRAIN".
Judging from reports from the various
Jurisdictions of the Amateur Athletic
FLASHLIGHT PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN
Union, the broom is to be wielded stren
uously in the effort to purify sports with
in the confines of the national organiza
tion. The tendency towards profession-1
alism in almost every branch of amateur
sport has called forth many redhot, and
no doubt well-deserved criticisms, not
only of individuals, but also of colleges,
clubs and other organizations fostering
athletic and gymnastic branches.
Professionalism is the eternal bugbear
of all advocates of pure sport. In their
efforts at weeding out this evil, the
officials of the Amateur Athletic Union
have worked faithfully and hard, but
like all undertakings where the official
authority extends over such a vast ter
ltory, is has been found necessary to
depend on district representatives, and
some of the subordinate officials bave
been woefully lax in their duty. Not
that they have been dishonest insofar as
accepting monetary consideration for
overlooking a tainted entry, but Influence
of a fraternal nature is brought to bear
whereby a man is declared eligible who
should really have no amateur standing.
Inglis Not an Amateur.
A case in point and which la vitally
interesting to amateur athletics in the
Northwest, is the selection of William
Inglis of Seattle, as secretary of the
Pacific Northwest Amateur Athletic As
sociation, which has jurisdiction over
tile Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club,
tlie Seattle Athletic Club, the Spokane
Athletic Club -and all other institutions,
except colleges, fostering athletics In the
Pacific Northwest. Inglis is to be in
vestigated by the Amateur Athletic
Union.
Personally, Mr. Inglis is a gentlemanly
Individual, but he has absolutely no
amateur standing, and is therefore. In
eligible for the position that the clever
wielding of athletic politics conferred
upon him. Some time ago Inglis was
connected with the Seattle Athletic Club
in the capacity of a paid employe. His
duties in connection with that institution;
while undoubtedly be'neficial and help
ful, were, nevertheless, on the same order
as those devolving on Mr. Woodward,
the highly capable and efficient superin
tendent of the local club. Mr. Woodward
is not eligible for membership as a
bona fide member of the Multnomah Club
neither is he eligible for a position as a
director of the club. Mr. Inglis occupies
the same position as does Mr. Woodward,
yet In the face of this the Seattle ad
mirers of Mr. Inglis and his well-known
ambition, placed his name before the
annual meeting of the association, which
Chit-Chat of the

has a corner on the crooked fighting
game in the Unconscious city. The con
fessor manages his own club these days.
Wife-beating prize fighters will find
considerable solace in the Oregon Su
preme Court decision. Champions now
can use their belts with which to whip
their wives., This will be a band-saving
scheme and will also save them from the
whipping post.
Hollingsworth, who played short for
Los Angeles and Portland, is trying to
break back into baseball on the coast.
Hollingsworth is the fellow who deserted
his wife on the train between San Fran
cisco and Portland. For this, if nothing
else, he Is worthy of the consideration of
some mogul.
The only way to keep an amateur ath
letic from becoming a professional is to
put blinkers on bim. With the rogue's
badge on, they would toe able to over
look the money that is offered them by
other colleges.
Cy Young has signed his 1908 contract.
This makes Young's 19th year in the game
and as old as he 4s, -he Is 100 per cent
better than most of the youngsters who
are breaking into the game.
If Forrest Smithson. the hurdler and
sprinter, thinks that by leaving college
and going to New York to "enter busi
was held in Seattle some few weeks
ago. and by controlling proxies of almost
every one connected with the organiza
tion, elected their superintendent secre
tary of the association. Had Multnomah
proposed the name of Mr. Woodward for
the position, a tremendous protest would
have arisen from the .virtuous sport-loving
Seattle "amateurs." .
Friendship at Fault.
In picking flaws with th.e selection
of Mr: Inglis as. secretary of the as
sociation it is not meant to disparage
the Seattle Athletic Club's honesty of
purpose in any way, for that club num
bers on' its rolls many of the foremost
and most sportsmanlike amateurs of
the country. But here in Portland we
believe that friendship for Mr. Inglis
has led to action that may make the
entire organization subject for a rigid
investigation on the part of James A.
Sullivan and other chiefs of the
A. A. U.
Mr. Inglis' well-knawn ambition Is
to become director of athletics of the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, which
is to be held at Seattle in 1909. This
ambition is a laudable one, and no
doubt he would be able to fill the
position In a most capable manner, but
the question arises: Is he justly en
titled to it? To a fair and Impartial
judge it would seem that the position
should be given to some man whose
record as an amateur cannot be as
sailed in the slightest degree, and
there are many audi, men in Seattle
and they are members of the Seattle
Athletic Club.
While dwelling on this subject it
might also be mentioned that Mr. Ing-

lis is not the only one whose standing
is likely to be assailed. The Pacific
Amateur Athletic Association, compris
ing the California, is about to have a
seance of this sort whereby the ama
teur standing of Andrew A. Glarner,
captain of the Olympic Club track
team, is to be Investigated.
Glarner Faces Charge.
.Andy Glarner is charged by Minne
han, of the Irish-American Athletic As
sociation, with being a professional.
Mlnnehan declares he "paid Glarner the
money himself," and on the strength of
the assertion the Amateur Athletic Union
is to hold 'an investigation early this
week. Minnehan's charge was brought
out in the investigation of Ralph Rose,
the big Californian who broke seven
world's records in one day, and who
was ordered expelled from amateur
dom at the close of the Inquiry. The
Olympic Club Is likely to back up
Glarner in the, controversy and a
small-sized war may be declared In
amateur circles before many moons
have passed.
To absolutely cleanse amateur sport
at one time will prove, absolutely im
possible, and the most practicaT method
to be adopted by the various institu
tions is to constitute each as a sep
arate committee pledged to purge itself
of the undesired element.

IRAN WILL YET
MEET ABE ATTELL
Since Recent Draw, Fans Are
Anxious for Them to
Fight Again.
OTHER GOSSIP OF RING
Stanley Kctchcl in East Looking for
Bout and May Sign Papke Mar
vin Hart May Return
to the Ring.
BY WILL. 6. MAC B.AE.
With Stanley Ketchel and Owen Moran
in the East, there will be a lull in the
fighting game in and around San Fran
cisco. Manager Jimmy Coffroth tried to
hook Moran and Attell into a return
match, but the little English champion
wanted to do a little dictating himself,
and because he would not consent to meet
Attell at 122 pounds ringside, a return
match fell through for the time being.
Moran had several flattering offers in
the East, so he kicked the California dust
off his heels and hiked for the land of
the rising sun.
Fight fans need not fear, however, as
the lads will come together again. After
Moran has filled his theatrical engage
ment he wjll be ready to talk shop with
Attell. Abe has not .shown any haste -in
hooking up with the British champ since
he drew with him, and Just now the little
Hebrew is being toasted by the sporting
critics for demanding $250 for the two
ounces that Moran was over weight.
Attell waited until Moran was on his
way Bast and then he came out with a
talk about meeting Moran at his own
weieht In time, but .Abe was careful to
give notice that the battle .would not be
a championship affair. Moran wants to
weigh, in three hours before, the fight and
foxy Abe wouldn't listen. When he knew
that he was rid of the Britisher, ne was
willing to accept Moran's terms, but at
the same time! he wanted a string tied to
his championship title. This does not look
as if Attell was, as he says, sure or wmp
ping the outlander. Abe also wanted to
limit the journey to 20 rounds. Evidently
Moran has beaten some respect into Abe.
Since Moran's draw with Attell, the
Eastern flcht fans and the critics have
taken quite a fancy to the English feath
erweight. While they have tnougnt wen
of Moran, they were of the opinion mat
Attell was unbeatable, and in spite of
Meran's victory over Frankie Neill. they
had picked Attell to win. When Attell
stood out for a couple of ounces he did
not help his fame any. Although, in a
measure. Attell was right in his conten
tion for Moran knew what weight he had
to make and should have been at weight.
It was childish for Attell to kick up such
a fuss over a few ounces.' Trying to
make the weight undoubtedly did bother
Moran and somewhat handicapped the
fight that he put up. Let it be hoped
that the next time the pair meet there
will be no excuses.
Stanley Ketchel, after cleaning up the
middle weights on the Coast, is now in
the East looking for trouble. There is
some talk of a ten-round battle between
Ketchel and Papke, who recently fought
Hugo Kelly. Papke has plunged to the
fore In the game, and around Chicago be
is looked upon as a comer. Ketchel saw
the Kelly-Papke fight and expressed him
self as being able to whip either one
of them.
When Battling Nelson flunked on his
fight with Kid Scaler, he said that he had
been offered $3500 by a Salt Lake club to
fight Jack Clifford. Just where the money
Is coming from. Nelson doesn't say. He
will be lucky if he fights before a $3000
house in Salt Lake. The fight fans of
that Mormon burg are not over-keen on
the game and they have been handed so
many lemons -that they are a bit weary.
Hush, don't scream, Marvin Hart has
announced his intention of returning to
the ling. This ought to make Jack John'
son take to the woods, for it was through
Johnson that Hart was smudged on the
lighting map. Should it happen that Hart
is serious about fighting, why wouldn t
it be a good idea to have Johnson meet
Hart again. This would help take a part
of the smear away from the nego s
fame, for there was- never a ranker
fake pulled off than their fight In San
Francisco when Alex Greggalns gave
Hart the decision.
BIG MUSCLES ON THE WANE
Men of Little Build Are Supplanting
Bulky Fellows.
The Idea that huge, bulging muscles
are essential to athletic prowess Is be
ing steadily discarded by the developers
of athletic skill today.
It used to be that the man who
would succeed In baseball, - football
track and field athletics, rowing,
swimming and tennis felt it a first re
quislte to build up on his shoulders,
bark, arms, thighs and calves great
piles of knotted muscles.
This was called development, and the
possessors were prouder of such an
equipment than a woman of a good
figure. But the modern tendency Is
getting entirely away from this Idea.
Men like Delaney, Mike Murphy, Mul
doon and Coakley, who know how to
turn out winners, have discovered that
a quantity of muscles can only be
gained at the cost of speed, and that,
excepting in wrestling, where a man
has need of absolute brute strength,
the big muscles are .more a detriment
than an aid.
The Ideal athlete of the future will
undoubtedly be the man built on the
lines Jim Corbett had when he fought
John Sullivan 15 years ago.
Never was a greater disparity than
between these two men of the old and
new schools. Sullivan had a wonder
ful neck, shoulders and arms. Cor
bett was slender and lithe. No muscles
showed on his body when he got into
action. His were the long, slender
fibres that could not be detected under
the white skin, but which did their
work so swiftly and well that the giant
who . in a wrestling bout or rough-and-tumble
fight could have crushed
"Pompadour Jim" to death, was a child
in his hands in a bout governed by the
recognized rules of boxing.
Kid McCoy offers a still better Illus
tration of the fighter without muscle
development, yet who could hit hard
enough to knock out men twice hl
size.
McCoy was flat-chested, his arms
were thin as pipestems, his legs were
nothing in point of muscle, and In the
ring stripped for the -fray, he would
have made a laugh but for the knowl
edge held by the public of the terrific
hitting force that those puny little
arms held.
Tommy Ryan, a wonderful fighter,
whose sway has extended over 15 years,
and who is still probably good enough
to take care of any man anywhere
near his size, is another case of the
boxer who boasts no heavy muscles.
Joe Gans, the lightweight champion of
the world for years, shows no more de-
The entire inner portion of the body is covered with mucous membrane ;
this membranous tissue is abundantly supplied with blood vessels, veins,
arteries, and capillaries. Each of these is constantly supplying; to this tissue
or lining;, blood to nourish and strengthen it and keep the system healthy.
When the blood becomes infected with catarrhal matter it is not able to fur
nish, the required amount of healthful properties, but feeds the parts with
impurities which disease the membranes and tissues so that they become
irritated and inflamed, and Catarrh, with all its disagreeable and dangerous
symptoms, is established in the system. There is a constant ringing in the

Cured of Colds and Croup by
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
SONS OP GEORGE C. BOWDEN.
Geo. C. Bowden, of Little Rock, Ark., has used Chamberlain's Conjrh
Remedy in his family for many years, and is seldom without it in the
house. He says: " Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has proved a great
relief to our boys in their throat and lung troubles. A few doses of it will
ward off a threatened attack of croup, and a bad cold is quickly cured by
its use. I take pleasure in recommending it." The prompt cures of colds
and croups effected by this preparation,, the fact that it can always be de
pended upon, is pleasant to take and contains no opium, chloroform or
other objectionable drug, has made it a favorite with the parents of young
children. When you have a cough or cold, try it and see for yourself what
an excellent medicine it is. Price, 25 cents. Large size, 50 cents.

such treatment has no curative effect,
To cure Catarrh the blood must be pur-
inea, ana tins is just wnat . . i does. It
goes down into the circulation and attacks
the disease at its foundation ; it removes the
cause and makes the blood pure and healthy.
Then the blood vessels are filled with fresh,
reinvigorated blood, which is carried to all
the mucous surfaces and linings, the inflam
mation and irritation are corrected, the Kvmrv.
