1 BAY MEADOWS NOTES f 4 Jockey John "Red" Pollard, who sustained a "broken shoulder bone, when thrown from Fair Knightess at Santa Anita, will not return to the saddle until he goes east. His resumption of riding might commence at Pimlico. - Among the many improvements instituted at Tanforan prior to the meeting, which will get under way for twenty-five days beginning April 30, is the remodeling of the saddling paddock. The stalls will be erected in such a manner as to give the public a better view of the horses. The jockeys will weigh in in the same enclosure. This will enable those interested to see the jockeys go through the procedure of weighing, and will be able to check each boys weight as he steps on the scales. This work is going forward under the direction of track superintendent F. Volkman. Lawrence Barker, prominent owner of Los Angeles, sent nine head to the Tanforan course from Santa Anita, where the stock was freshened after the meeting at Arcadia. Trainer F. J.
