"WHAT A GOOD CROWD"

Sports Tribute To

H.M.S. Hermes

Writing under the heading "The Sporting Eagle", the Stralta Times Sports writer, "Leighton" says:-

What a good crowd the Eagle were, cheery and sporting to the backbone. They had a first rate hockey team, a good enough rug- ger side to put it across a strong 3.C.C. XV, a fine soccer XI, some useful boxers. golfers, lawn tennis players and rumour states that they oven won the China Const Shove-Halfpenny championship.

In view of the fact that Gordon Richards is once again cham pion jockey, it will be of interest to record a conversation which . he had recently qu the subject of racing.

On paper of course, the result should be either a win for the Club or a draw. But queor, things happen, and as I hope to watch the match, I sincerely hope the Club will bat first. The match will be much more interesting thus, I think.

There could never have been a young man who has enjoyed auch astonishing triumphe, and remain ed so modest. The following is an illustration of this:-

GREAT-FEAT

Last year at the Chepstow Octo- ber meeting, he set the racing world alight by the phenomenal fent of riding 11 winners of the 12 races. At the corresponding meeting this year he scored reven ilmes in 11 rides.

Was this due to the discovery of some peculiarity in the track he hnd mastered? he was asked.

"No." he replied with emphasis, "It is just one of those things that happen without any apparent rea son. It so turned out that I had the right rides, but I might go to Chepstow next season and not ride one winner. It has just been a lucky course for me, that's all."
