TWO MORE JOCKEYS ENLIST

Tommy Parrette and Eddie Klenck Will Wear Khaki Next Season— Both Clever Riders. Two more jockeys —Tommy Parrette and. Eddie Klenck—will wear khaki in* stead of racing colors next season. These steeplechase riders were mustered into the National army at Camp Upton. Both were clever handlers of jumpers and will be missed when the season opens. • On the whole, few jockeys have been called thus far, as the general run are too light for soldiers. Everett Haynes, who rode Omar Khayyam at Laurel when the great three-year-old was beaten by Hourless, and A. Nicklaus, who handled the jumpers of Capt. J. E. Davis, are among those now In the service.
