...eyes at him. Leon was heart-whole till, one night at a Party meeting, he met the luscious Helen. Helen thought him cute, and encouraged him, but not seriously: she was living with a Mexican. Leon, blissfully ignorant, worshiped her from afar. In Jason's tenement lived one Hank Austin & family. Hank was a husky, ivory-headed warehouse worker; he made good wages till he was laid off. Then he sat around Union Square waiting for his money to run out. In the next apartment house Mr. Boardman, respectable widower, lived in increasingly uncomfortable sin with his gold-digging...
...golfer, outboard motorboat racer. Curtis is good at golf and motorboating, prefers the latter. Raymond Stevens pitched ably on the 1914 Yale baseball team. Every autumn all four Stevens brothers spend two months hunting and trapping in the Adirondacks or wilder Canada. Other expert U. S. bobbers are Henry ("Hank") Homburger, Saranac, N. Y., civil engineer; Eddie Eagan, famed amateur boxer; Baron Walther von Mumm, onetime "champagne king" of Rheims; Jay O'Brien, Manhattan socialite...
Jockey Gilbert, 18, and Jockey Hank Mills, 17, who finished the season with 196 winners, erroneously credited Jockey Gilbert witha record, because he had ridden more winners than Jockey Lee Hardy in 1927 (207). In 1908, Jockey Vincent Powers, now trainer of Mrs. Payne Whitney's steeplechasers, rode 324 winners. Jockey Walter Miller, stable rider for the late James R. Keene, famed for his skill in handling mounts at the barrier, won 388 races...
...jockey to score a "triple"-ride three winners in an afternoon-is not unusual. Nonetheless, even to jockeys as able as young Hank Mills, it is gratifying. Hank Mills had particularly good reason to feel pleased about his triple with The Heathen, Euclid and Bodkin in the closing week of the Jamaica. L. I. race meeting last week. It was his second triple of the meeting; it put him back in the running for riding honors at the course; and it substantiated his claim to being, at 17, the leading U. S. jockey of the year...
Born in Grand Junction, Colo, of a racetrack family-his father and an older brother were jockeys-Hank Mills became famed suddenly in Miami last winter when he rode 27 winners in 16 days. Trainer James Fitzsimmons of the Wheatley Stables, owned by Secretary of the Treasury Ogden Livingston Mills (no kin to Jockey Mills) and his sister, Mrs. Henry Carnegie Phipps, quickly bought Hank Mills's contract for $7,500. This year, Jockey Mills has had 779 mounts, 169 winners, 141 seconds.* He won the Brooklyn and Brookdale Handicaps with Blenheim, the Shevlin Stakes on Faireno. the Potomac...
