March 22.—Whether Lloyd Hahn, of Nebraska, America’s premier middle distance runner, will go abroad ahead of the American Olympic team, as he wants to do, regained unsettled today. The American Olympic Committee announced the United States team would sail in a body July 11, but did not say Hahn would be prevented from preceding the team. Hahn says he can’t win unless he goes over a month in advance of the team. Lawson Robertson, Pennsylvania, who was reappointed head coach, expects to confer with Jack Ryder of the Boston A. A., Hahn's coach and developer, within the month to settle definitely Hahn’s case. “I feel that all the athletes should go in one group,” Robertson said, "but Hahn believes he can't win unless he goes over a month in advance of the team and it may be better for his frame of mind to give him his preference.” I.

“rassling" game and no doubt acts as the “hard boiled” member of the duet. Judging from the score card Leonard Has Promise as Jockey Ace Baltimore Lad Expected to Go Far in Turf Sport. Bn Times Spri-inl ? NEW ORLEANS. March 22—Every year in the past, the winter race meeting at New Orleans has developed several good apprentice riders who showed promise of going on to better things, but the season of 1927-1928 is exceptional. Only one seems to be worth watching in the future. He is Roger Leonard, a 17-year-old lad from Baltimore under contract to Jim Arthur. The new whipless rule of Col. E. R, Bradley, which deprives the apprentice rider of the "bat” at the fair grounds, may be the indirect cause of this lack of development of young riders. While horsemen did cooperate with the colonel and continued to ride the apprentice boys with their five-pound benefit in weight, they got tired of seeing their horses lose day after day to mounts with fullfledged riders aboard and shooed the apprentices away. That is, all except Leonard. He succeeded and is being used by exponents of the whipless rule to show that it is a good one. Most horsemen like it. Had it received the unqualified support of all owners and trainers, it might have accomplished the purpose Collonel Bradley had in mind when he inaugurated it —to teach the correct method of hand-riding, seat, judgment of pace and other arts of the riding profession in which apprentices are lacking these days. Asa hard rider, Leonard has proven himself to be a good judge of pace, knows how to sit on a horse and is a keen judge of horse flesh. He gets the most out of every mount. When racing opened at the fair grounds on Thanksgiving day, Leonard was just a fair rider. Now he seems destined to rank with the greats, while the other apprentices, who were rated “stars” and comers, have fallen by the wayside.
