May 10.— Apprentice Gerald Brousseau, astride the first mount of his career, guided C. W. Mores Idle Boy to victory in the eighth race here Thursday. Brousseau. 22, hails from Montreal. Canada. He is under con-j tract to More, who is campaigning a string of thoroughbreds at Fort Miami. " As is the rule in the State of Ohio, a boy must ride two exhibition races while his request for a license is being considered. It appears young Brousseau proved beyond doubt that he is capable of plying his chosen trade the way he handled Idle Boy. Brousseau got Idle Boy away slowest in the field, moved up steadily, then came around the leaders at the head of the stretch like a veteran and drew out under urging to the wire. Idle Boy defeated the four-time winner Spring Fever, ridden by the veteran Kenny Robertson, leading jockey at the meeting.
