BURNS 'TALLS BECKETS,
Tricks That Win Horse Races" is not the title of a book that Jockey Tommy Buros la going to write, but should the little American racer, who won fame and a pot of mossy in Germany last season, and has returned to this country, over go lato literature no better man could be found to explain the tricks of the
game.
Burns is one of the sushing, fighting jockeys, a young man of superb nerve, and to his time has fought out races with many tricky and rough riding knight of the saddle.
Kough House" Tommy was the name Bures went under when he was at the height of his fame here. He seemed to care absolute-
ly nothing about the danger of a tumble him- self and was nearly as caroless about the
troubles of others.
While Tommy says he never actually re- sotied to any of the illegitimate, tricks that some of the race riders used, it was probably as much because he did not need to as on any other account Few there were when Tommy cime tearing down the stretch who cared to take a chance with him.

Once, when riding in a stake event, Burns was rapidly overhauling the leading horse, ridden by a famous English jockey. As he ranged alongside the leader the Britisher attempted to use a leg lock, getting his keel over Tommy's instep. Knowing at once what was up, Burns yelled at his opponent: "Say, - kid,-don't-try-that-on-ma.1-invented that trick," Then he went on and won. Afterward- in the paddock Tommy, bad it out with the British jockey and the boy never again tried any underhand work when opposed to the hustling Yankee.--
AN OLD TRICK, Another trick that was tried on the American
was the rather old one of reaching over and pulling up his mount when the horses were at close quarters. This was playing low down,
Buras thought, for he had known that schome for years and hated to have anyone think he was green enough to stand for it,
