This Jockey Wcas
Too Ohedion!st
When Jack Price, an tnlpredite •
table horse trainer from Miami;
learned that Europe's richest•
race was to be run an grass over
a distance of lbz miles, he
promptly entered Carry Back,
his predictable Celt. After all,
reasoned Price, four - year - old
Carry Bark, the 1961 Kentucky
Derby and Preaknees champion,
had never won on grass and had
never won at 11-s miles, "What
have I got to lose?" said Price,
putting up the $1,000 entry fee
for last month's $231,000 Prix de
1'Are de Triomphe in Paris;
Next, Price had tohire a
jockey, He chose a 48 -year-old
Australian. earned Arthur (Sea -
hie l Ereaoley, a f•lrmer Prix
winner and this year's leading
jockey in Breglarid, who knew
all about the foiling. clockwise
course and the start from behind
a net. Urfo rireately, Breasley
knew nothing about his wiry

much, either. Breasley rade

big race and on race day washed

at the Lo act snip track, Breas-

"I'd like to wet. cut the horse

you exactly how to ride him.
That's what }et i'e there fyr, If.
there's any trouble, keep him on
the outside."
After the start, with Carry
Back, a 6-1 second choice and a
heavy sentimental favorite. well
up among the loaders of the 24 -
horse field, Breasley politely
took his mount off the pace.
Later, around the final turn,
Breasley foedishly swung far too
wide and lost nearly fifteen
lengths, Carry Back finished a
disappointing tenth behind nine
Frecith horses, almost six Lengths
behind Soithkoff, the winning
40-1 ion gshet. "Carry Back might
well have won -if- I hadn't fol-
lowed your instructions so care-
fully," Brassie;• obediently told
Price afterward. "I could have
broken through on the inside, but
I thought if I'd disobeyed you,
you'd have been: annoyed."
Price wasn't annoyed; he was
speechless. The next day, he
boldly challenged the first five
,finishers to a special. race ($25,-
000
$25;000 entry fee, winner take all,
over the sane course). When
only the owner of runner-up
Monade accepted, the race was
canceled,. and Price still seethed.
"We lost through a combination
of bad racing luck and a stupid
ride," he snapped, "I could
throw a 130 -pound bag of feed
on Carry Back, -and he'd do as
well as he did under Breasley."
A lady t e a e h e r, somewhat
plump in figure, had been lec-
turing her young class on birds
and their habits, 'Now, children,'
she invited, 'can anyone tell me
anything a little bird could do
that I couldn't"'
A little boy put his hand up.
'Please, Miss,' he said, 'take a
bath in a saucer.'

When All London
Was Afraid
Not every taxi crusing Lan -
don's hundreds of square miles is
as innocent as it appears at first
glance. Not all are even taxis,
as the Flying Squad discovered.
In the autumn of 1951 West
End police stations were burden-
ed with calls reporting a spate of
robberies.
The thieves broke into houses
and flats in the early hours of
the morning.
They worked expertly and left
no fingerprints, Also they were
agile at climbing and swift in
forcing entry.
"It's damned uncanny," said
one Flying Squad officer at a
conference, where it was presum-
ed that the robberies were car-
ried out by only two men.
Police on the beat were warn-
ed to keep a sharp lookout for
anything that happened in the
districts where the robberies
were reported at the tinges the
thieves were operating.
That "anything" was very for-
cibly underlined by station ser-
geants before patrols left on
duty.
Still the phoned reports and
emergency calls came in.
One time from a house in a
quiet avenue lined with trees,
another from a flat on the sec-
ond floor o4 a modern luxury
block.
The thieves were quite impar-
tial in the platter of whose prem-
ises they patronized so long as
the pickings included valuable
e, wn.;. furs cr jewellery.
Flying Squad cars patrolled
Mayfair and the West End. Radio
traps were laid. Detectives and
uniformed police spent dreary
hours watching and waiting.
Still the thieves gave no sign
of showing up where they might
be expected.
Weeks went by. The number of
breakings and enterings mounted.
The circulated list of goods sto-
lent grew longer,
Each week the report on the
drive against the phantom
crooks showed a blank.
And London's wealthy men

were frightened that they would
be next on the thieves' list.
Detective -Sergeant Bird w a s
given the case.
He went through all the re-
ports, and like other detectives
who had studied them found
nothing that offered the sugges-
tion of a clue.
Suddenly he felt a growing
excitement, He flicked over the
reports again, this time looking
for one mention only, He found
that mention in a fair proportion
of them,
In one case a householder told
the police he thought he had
heard someone moving about, but
had decided it was only a taxi
he saw from the window moving
down the street.
In another case a man on the
beat Saw' a taxi turn a Corner
about the time a burglary was
committed in the next street.
Sergeant Bird reported his find
to his superior.
"I think thieves are using a
taxi for their getaway, sir."
At s bre'i1 cont-rar-e cid Fly-
ing Squads hands vetoed any
suggestion that the taxi could be
one regularly employed for hire.
"Would be too risky," they said
promptly. "Besides, no driver
would jeopardize his livelihood
by hiring out regularly to crooks
and waiting around to pick them
up„
In the opinion of the men who
knew all about the users of Lon-
don's streets after dark any taxi
employed as a getaway car would
be an obsolete -one.
"There are plenty of them
about," they pointed out, "Any
private citizen can buy an old
taxi that's no longer licensed as -
a hackney carriage and use it as
a private car with an ordinary
road fund licence. That's quite
legal."
But late at night anyone seeing
such a vehicle would naturally
assume it was a taxi.
Not even a policeman on heat
I would give it a second glaLce,
•according to Leonard Gribble in
"Tit -Bits".
However, such a taxi might
still have its meter and flag. But
it would not be registered with
Scotland Yard, and so would not
be issued with hackney carriage
plates. These are white plates
fastened to the rear of taxis ply-
ing in the London -area, and are
quite distinctive by day. A week
passed by and on a day in N'rv-
ember, when visibility in the
Thames -side streets was not very
good, a Flying Squad driver
found what he was searching for.
A taxi that looked like a pre-
war model was driving through
Limehouse, in the heart of the
East End.
It had a meter with the Flag
turned down, to show that it was
engaged and not at that moment
for hire.
But when the Squad car nosed
in behind it there was no hack-
ney carriage plate on the taxi's
rear,
The Squad car swung out of
the traffic, gonged the taxi, and
the driver had to stop.
He jumped out but found his
retreat cut off.
He doubled his fist and swung
it at the first plainclothes man
to come for him.
"We're police officer's, and
we-"
But the taxi's driver wasn't
listening. He threw himself at his
captors. There was a hard strug-
gle for ane furious minute, and
then he was overpowered and
handcuffed.
One of the Flying Squad men
opened the door of the taxi. On
the leather seat was some of the
stolen property. The taxi driver,
whose name was Sid, was taken
to the new Limehouse police sta-
tion,
Sid was a barrow boy with a
police record that included es-
capes from both a Borstal insti-
tution and Wormwood Scrubs. He
was a tough Cockney with a
shrewd head that he used tor
beating the law when he could,
He became the first inmate of
g cell in the new police station,
This didn't impress him for he
*seeped,
He was free with empty pock-
ets, Sid's shrewd head told him

there was one place where he
could line them. A dog track.
There be mingled with the dense
crowd. and was quite unprepared
for the heavy hand that fell on
his shoulder.
But Sid had a partner, Jimmy*,
who had given the Squad men
a tough time in finding him.
After learning that the taxi
had been "knocked off," he went
into hiding with some of the pro-
ceeds from the burglaries that
had not been disposed of.
He left his hiding -place only
at night, took scrappy meals, and
hardy stayed out long enough
to have anyone remember the
look of his face.
Lying low was the smart thing,
If Sid had kept under cover after
escaping from his cell at Lime-
house police station he wouldn't
have been recaptured.
Jimmy was still comforted by
such thoughts the day the Flying
Squad nose(: him out and came
calling.
He dived into a wardrobe and
hid behind some stolen dresses,
The door crashed in under the
weight of Flying Squad men.
Jimmy held his breath in the
depths of the wardrobe. Heavy
steps crossed the room, the ward-
robe door was yanked wide, and
there was Jimmy's scowling face
over a very feminine garment,
"My, doesn't he look pretty,"'
said one of the Squad men.
A short time later Sid and Jim-
