St, Louis, a three year old son of

estimated to have an excellent chance
of winning wiUi Archibald la the sad
dle'.' if the book-makers' odda can be I

if Archibald succeeds in riding St.
Ixmis home ahead of the field fame
and honor will be his. '
About 37 years ago a little bit of a
lad first saw the sunshine of Califor

land bungalow. Little did his parents
think at the time that this frail bit of
humanity would be the gnest of kings
and queens of Europe; that his ser
vices would 'be In such demand, his
need so urgent that airplanes would be
brought to speed him to the scenes of

George was hauling water and han
dling feed tins In the stables of the
old Oakland race course before he w as
fourteen years old. That supreme
grand and glorious feeling came over
him. his friends assert, when Daggie
Smith, who owned a few racers there
asked the youngster if he would not
like to try his hand as an exercise boy.
In a few months he was given his first
mount in a race and experienced the
joy of winning.
A determined spirit carried Archi
bald to Kuropo where his success has
been spectacular.
In less than a month his skill was
recognized and was so pronounced that
ho headed the" list of jockeys for two
or threo years. In Spain ho rode for
the most formidable Btables, including
that of the king.
Between Spain, Austria. France and
India ho has . divided his attentions
for tho past three years in a nip ami
tuck race with Frank O'Neil for pre

A few weeks ago ho and O'Neil were
given mounts in ono of the Kngllsh

second with Archibald in tho lead.
Now ho la scheduled to rido the favor

Should St. iouls be ridden to victory

While their settlement over work

of the American Federation of Labor
that the decision will be rejected and
submitted to a vote of the men.
Brotherhood officials characterized
the cut as "indefensible." .
The three labor members of. the
board returned a dissenting opinion to
the order. ....
Wages of maintenance of way em
