ONE of the most sensational developments of the 1932 turf season was the marvelous riding of the seventeen-year-old Johnny Gilbert, who led all the jockeys in kicking home winners during the year. This tiny 100pound lad, who was born in Pittsburgh, Kan., of Syrian parentage, earned more than $50,000 in fees and bonuses last year, in' running up the greatest number of winning mounts ridden by any jockey in the last twenty-four years. Not since 1908 has any rider approached the number of winning mounts that Johnny piloted home in 1932. The modern record was hung up by Lee Hardy in 1927, when he rode 207 winners, and this mark was passed by Gilbert in the last week of the 1932 racing season, when he left Hank Mills far behind n their sensational duel for riding >r< at New Orleans. The "battle of the jockeys” be-

1 tween Gilbert and Mills attracted 1 more attention in the racing proses- - sion than anything since the days when Vin Powers kicked home his winners. Little Colorado Hank > might have beaten even Gilbert’s - marvelous record if he hadn’t been suspended by E’imlico officials for a month late in the 1932 season. It was during the blond Colorado ■ Kid’s enforced layoff that the sadeyed little Syrian caught up with him, and Mills failed to hit his stride vyhen he started riding again after his suspension. Gilbert’s great record in 1932 certainly stamps him as one of the best jockeys of recent years. He has all the essentials of a really great jockey—scat, hands, skill, courage and judgment of pace—and he’s really a natural rider. Johnny’s right name is John Dyer, but when he was a child his father died and he was adopted byDr. R. E. Gilbert, so his name be-

The home team has won in previous years so hero's pulling for the Yellow Jackets to come through with a pair of victories Saturday. 000 All four teams w r ill engage in! games the night before the tonr-‘ noy. Decatur and Auburn meet at Auburn. Bluffton plays at Garrett; and Kendallville plays at South Side. Bluffton has the easiest, assignment, as Garrett has been the weak sister of the conference f so far this season. 000 Officials for the blind tourney have been announced by Decatur school officials. They are Tudor, Fort Wayne, and Gaunt, of Wabash. Beth men have worked on the local floor and are known as competent officials throughout this section of the state. 000 The annual Adams county second team tourney will be held at the Berne auditorium Saturday in three sessions. All four first mend games will be played in the morning, starting at 8 o'clock. Semi-finals will be played Saturday afternoon and finals Saturday nii’ht. Dick Engle, Decatur, and James Fravel, Geneva, will officiate. 000 The Purdue Boilermakers took one on the chin last nioht from the Northwestern Wildcats. Cottom, the Terre Haute flash who scored 18 points against Minnesota Saturday night, was held to a e'nnle free throw Monday. In other conference games. Indiana wnipped Chicago, Illinois downed Michigan, and Wisconsin nosed out the hard luck champs of the Big Ten, lowa. dOo The Notre Dame basketbailers ' finally snapped out of their losing streak Monday night by trimming Michigan State with little difffcul- ! iy.

came Johnny Gilbert. He has a mother, two sisters and a brothe: living in Kansas. He sends his mother all the money he earns—and ' some amount it is, too. He rode his first w-inner on Junt 17, 1931, only thirteen months aft | er he had first laid eyes on a thoroughbred horse. An older brother of Johnny’s was a jockev riding at New Orleans for H. D. Cox in 1930 and he got Johnny a place with the Cox stables. He quickly developed into a good exercise boy, and in less than a year he was riding in races, his first winner being a horse named Harborton, which he kicked home in front of the field at Pole Park, Winnipeg, a year ago last June. Now. at the age of seventeen, he’s the toast of the racing world and seems a certainty to make his naim as famous on the turf as that of Sande or Fator. Cosrrubl. lilt. King Fratum Srellc,,,. Ir., I
