LEADING AMERICAN JOCKEYS After the finish of last Sundays racing at Agua Caliente, although the results of the races at that track cut no figure, Paul Keester, was only one winner behind Wayne Wright- in the race for the riding championship of America. Keester scored with six of his mounts last week to make his total seventy-eight. Wright has seventy-nine winners to his credit. Last weeks honors fell to Earl Porter, however, who had eight winners. Following are the records of the thirty leading American jockeys from January 1 up to and including the racing of last Sunday: Last Jockey. Mts. 1st. 2d. 3d. Unp.P.C Wk. Wright, W.
