RACING GOSSIP There has been much talk from Memphis about a difference between Bill McGuigan and Clem Groveling who is managing the Cougle stable and managing it well An apprentice to McGuigan named Gormley ran away from his stable and was harbored in a humane way by Groveling McGuigan is a heady creature who says more than he means and after he had de ¬ manded the boys return protested the payment of the Montgomery handicap prize money won by the Cougle stables Ulysses Groveling well able to care for himself re ¬ taliated and when Lexington Pirate won a uelling race for McGuigan ran him up 800 in reasonable financial lines McGuigans protest was overruled and thus the matter stands But newspaporic bosh winds around the incident a tale of padronism because of McGuigans effort for the boy and one i of present and future re ¬ venge for mere humanitys sake on Crevelings part What rot The apprentice system is the sys ¬ tem of riding production It means educa ¬ tion order and discipline all of which the Western turf needs McGuigan if in or ¬ der has a right to the boys ser ¬ vices The boy as such boys usually do probably told a story outside the line of fact Of coarse McGuigan was excessive of ac ¬ tion Thats his way Groveling punishes him for it There is no need of hikyism and padrone system talk about it at all But such stuff sells to the dealers and as long as it doas the sscuions will turn the spit of supply
