WESTROPE AT ARCADIA ARCADIA, Calif., Dec. 14. The top-flight jockeys continue to check in at Santa Anita for the big fifty-two-day meeting starting Saturday, December 31. The latest on the grounds is Jackie Westrope, who rode Stagehand to victory in the Santa Anita Derby, Empire City Handicap, Narragansett Special and Governors Handicap. Not being able to make the 100 pounds weight for Stagehands Santa Anita Handicap, his place on the great three-year-old was taken that day by Nick Wall. The latter is here, under contract to Mrs. Bessie Franzheim, whose top threat for the Derby this year is the undefeated Xalapa Clown.
