SUCCESSFUL DROP-OUT-- Wayne Harris, 16, an appren- tice jockey, is given instruc- tions by horse owner Andy Smithers of Chilliwack, B.C., at Toronto's New Woodbine racetrack.

But before anyone gets the idea that education is for the birds, it would be a good idea to examine Wayne Harris's qualifications. He stands five-foot-one and} weighs about 100 pounds. Harris is a jockey who has ridden more than a dozen win- ners at Toronto's Woodbine racetrack this season, more than some experienced riders, and has been making as much) as $300 a week. | A native of Vancouver, Wayne | out of school after | Grade 9. He had always been) crazy about horses and left home last year to work as an exercise boy for Andy Smithers, Pee owner in Chilliwack, When Smithers came east to race his horses at Ontario tracks, he brought Wayne with him. His "gallop boy" showed promise as a rider and Smith- ers offered to sponsor him as) an apprentice jockey, putting him under a five-year contract. Harris earns $60 a month as Smithers' apprentice but he also has an agent who arranges | mounts with other owners. He makes $25 for each of these out- eide rides or $50 if the horse MAKE IT ROUGH Wayne, who doesn't shave yet, | finds that some veteran riders) try to make things especially | Trough for newcomers but he doesn't show any signs of fear, | even though he has been in a} spill or two. A jockey's day begins and ends early. He leaves his board-| ing house at 5:30 am. and gallops four or five of Smith- ers' horses as the sun is com- ing up. During the day he sits| around jockey quarters playing} a little pool or cards while wait-| ing out the time between races. | When the races are over he| goes back to his boarding house| for dinner and is in bed'as early | as 7:30 p.m. | He doesn't know many girls,/ rarely has a chance to meet} any, and so doesn't date much. | "Sometimes I feel real lonely | for home,"' he says. | Occasionally when he has a night out he goes to a public riding stable where he rents a) slow, placid horse and goes for | a ride. | WOMAN SAVES HORSES' LIFE SEATTLE (AP)--A woman trainer claimed Sunday she saved the life of a thorough- bred race horse with mouth- to-nose resuscitation. Mrs. Eileen Steele, in an in- terview with the Sea ttle | Times, said the drama oc- curred at nearby Longacres race track when her horse, Correlson, fell as she was giv- ing it a workout early Satur- day. "About a sixteenth of a mile before he fell, I could hear him gasping for air," she said. Then Correlson fell. Mrs. Steelexlanded on her ---- "He had stopped breath- ,' she reported. straightened his head a blew and sucked until started breathing again." Track veterans said they never heard of such a thing. to where they are now." ADVANCED QUICKLY Rogers himself is a pretty good advertisement for the benefits of fitness.
