¶Jack Westrope, U. S. jockey-of-the-year: three races in a day at Arlington Downs, Tex., bringing his season’s total of winners to 255. His 247th victory broke the English record of 246 winners ridden in 1885 by Fred Archer. He has two months left to beat the world’s record of 338 winners ridden in 1884 by U. S. Jockey Walter Miller. Westrope’s closest competitor is Gordon Richards, champion jockey of England, who last week equalled the English record, at Hurst Park, London.
¶Maxie (“Slapsie”) Rosenbloom, light-heavyweight champion: a 15-round fight with bull-doggy little Mickey Walker, in which Champion Rosenbloom flicked, slapped, chopped, cuffed, hit not one hard, straight blow; in Manhattan.
¶Winooka, thoroughbred Australian sprint champion who made his Eastern debut fortnight ago by finishing a miserable last (TIME, Nov. 6): two six-furlong races, at Pimlico, Md.
