] ] i i MONEY MAKER MAKES IT FOUR STRAIGHT. Jockey Loftus Incapacitated for a Time — A Good Horse Going to Kentucky. El Paso. Tex.. February 20.— W. F. Kuebelkamps improving gelding. Money Maker, scared his fourth consecutive victory when he accounted for the mile handicap with selling conditions that bad the place of prominence on the Juarez program this afternoon. Money Maker was a slight favorite over the other tour contestants and outstayed Hard Ball by a head iii a strenuous tiuish, both having come from behind in the Stretch, Jockey Loftas will be out of the saddle for the next week or so as a result of a sore foot. I»ftns has not as yet signed any contract, but will probably ride for E. R. Bradley this year. Quite a good performer got away from J. P.. Bos-pess when he parted with Lefts*, now the star of Daniels 6 Hodges" stable, as the geldings performances here this winter have shown that he is a type that will make good racing in even the highest-made selling plater class in Kentucky or on the eastern tracks. Loftus has won here with as much weight as 120 pounds up and at seven-eighths at that, which shows that besides being a horse of superior speed, be can also cover any reasonable distance of ground. This son of Dick Welles is out of the good mare labia Shannon, by Onondaga. Her foal of RMKI was John Heck, a brother to Loftus. while in 1919 she dropped the good plater Marshon by Marathon. Loftus came in 1911, while she had no foal in 1!I12. In 1913 she foaled Southern Star, a sister to Marshon and she has in training now a two-year-old sister to Marshon and Southern Star. In all probability I»ftus" owners will take the good gelding to Louisville, with his -table companion John Graham, at the close of the meeting here, and the chestnut gelding will be dangerous in many races run . u the Kentucky circuit tracks, it" In- runs to the form be has many ti s displayed at the Jockey Club Juarez coarse this winter. While of late year-, or, in fact, during bis entire stud career. Dick Welles has sever exactly reproduced himself, be nevertheless sires whinners with marked regularity and many of his get, like I. oft us. show much speed at times in their winning races as well as ranking extra high as good bread-winning performers. S. M. Henderson, the Louisville turfman, hone n to develop the colored lad Bochelle Williams into a good Jockey before the present racing season is over. The boy is not a son of the once noted rider R. Williams as many have supposed. The latter once-noted rider is a docker at present at the Juarez, coarse and. as the Imiv is riding here for Henderson, those not correctly Informed imagined that the new aspirant to saddle fame is a sou of the jockey, whose fame as a saddle artist is closely associated with the turf triumphs of the famous mare Ida Pickwick. Williams can ride as light as ninety pounds and has been with Henderson four years. The boy was picked up by John Nichols at Charleston, S. C. and attracted the attention of that horsemen by ability, as small as be then was. shown by him in driving a team of mules. Header son got the boy from Nichols. Hugh McCarren is endeavoring to sell most of the string he now is racing here and. before the winter meeting is over, expects to dispose of most Of the horses he brought here last November. At [ the same time he is in the market to buy a couple . of good horses to race in Kentucky, and these he . expects to pik up here before April rolls around. His apprentice rider. . Meigtor, is a coining rider r in the veteran horesmans opinion and the boy has 1 had a lot of education here this winter, though he , has failed, as yet. to land a winner. He has had j few mounts, however, .-..needed to have a chance by expert-.
