CORAL GABLES Country Club

By CHUCK WILEY Kilroy remembers that famous day and year, and that's why he's planning to celebrate the 172nd anniversary of one of America's most urgent calls to arms. Therefore, if you are within glancing distance of the Club bar anytime today, you might see a slightly inebriated young idiot celebrating Paul Revere's famous midnight ride of April 18, 1775. As is his annual custom, Kilroy will be his own hostess and solo guest. In fact, he'll be entirely invisible so don't be too disappointed if you fail to see this peculiar specimen of humanity. You know, with a little more effort, I probably could have thought up a more irrelevant way to begin this column this week. Anyway, I just wanted to remind you Country Clubbers that today is the 172nd anniversary of Paul's gallant ride. If you think you're having troubles because you just can't trade your 1946 flivver for a 1950 rattle trap that could get you to those luncheon, tennis and golf engagements, or your Rotary, Lions or Kiwanis meetings on time, then think of poor ole' Paul, and consider yourself fortunate. His favorite Buick had four legs, a bushy tail, and a long flowing mane. So much for Paul's transportation. The moral of this space-waster is: Don't ever try to write a column unless you have at least two murders, three fires and four sewing circle meets to report. Wet courts, according to recent propaganda, prevented the Club tennis teams from crossing rackets with the Sebastian Parkers last Sunday. This Sunday the Club netters will encounter the Coco-grove squads at 2 p. m. on the Club courts. With the first round of the Women's singles event scheduled for last Wednesday, the singles events in the Club championship tennis tourneys are well under way. Fourteen entries have been made in the women's singles event, 38 in the men's singles, 22 in the boy's singles, and 5 in the girl's singles. The first round of each of these is to be completed this week-end and the doubles events will begin soon. Tentative plans concerning these tourneys, according to George Gaudet, Club pro, are to have a buffet dinner after all events have been played, and award trophies to eighteen C.C. champions. Those summer Club playmakers are wasting no time. Already they've begun rehearsals for their first production, "Jason," by Sampson Raphaelson, scheduled for May 13 and 15. Co-directed by Dr. Sidney G. Casell and Mrs. Sylvia Furlong, "Jason" is a sophisticated drawing-room comedy which was selected by Burns Mantle as one of the ten best Broadway plays of 1942. The cast includes: Dick Tree, Mrs. Furlong, Jacqueline Pierce, Mrs. Dalton Wright, Dr. N. Buchan, Betty Bliss, H. C. Binns, Edison Archer, Jr., and Dr. Casell. Mrs. Booth Royall is the stage manager. For an evening full of good laugh-provoking entertainment, take a tip from me and start saving the 120 pennies required for admission to the "Jason" comedy. Further note on activities of summer theatre group—a rough draft of the by-laws for the group was made Wednesday night at the first meeting of the advisory committee. This committee consists of Chairman E. C. Hodge, Frank Holley and Al Harum. Honoring Mrs. Charles W. Broeman, Cincinnati vacationist at Miami Beach; Mrs. Charles Robertson was hostess at a luncheon for 65 guests at the Club Wednesday noon. Also attending the luncheon was Mrs. John D. Powell, sister of the hostess, from Ft. Meyers, who is guesting at Mrs. Robertson's home on 1910 Country Club Prado. Fifty guests have been invited to Mrs. Russell Thompson's bridge luncheon, which is to be given tomorrow at 1 p.m. at the Club. Seen at Mrs. R. S. Barth's table at the book review-luncheon last Saturday were Mrs. Louise N. Marshall, Coconut Grove artist, and Mrs. John E. Curtiss, director of the League of Women Voters. Mrs. Julia Green won the April 9 golf ball award for proving herself to be the bested low netter in the ladies' weekly golf tourney that day. Her low net score was a 74. After completing six lessons of rhumbaing as a limberupper, the five couples in Peter Lowe's rhumba-samba classes, held at the Club each Monday night from 7:30-9, will switch to sambaing this Monday night. The six couples of the advanced rhumba class have switched to the mastering of the tango each Tuesday night. Both classes will terminate in four weeks. Speaking of dancing—the rhumba seems to be the definite favorite of your Country Clubbers. According to Peter and Janet Lowe, each time they try to continue their weekly exhibitions, at the Wednesday nite Club dances, to either the samba, tango, fox trot, or Viennese waltz, they are invariably requested to rhumbamaan.

The Goetschi brothers give you a sample of the zany spectacle being readied for circus goers at the Barnum and Bailey quarters, Sarasota, Fla.

Sterling Young's Boyhood Dream Came True ★★ Jockey's Life Is Exciting But Dangerous

By MARY FRANK (Riviera-Times Staff Writer) Once upon a time there was a small boy in New Orleans, La., who liked to watch the race horses. In fact, the race track was only four blocks from his home and it thrilled him to watch the horses and jockeys train every afternoon. That's for me, he thought. In 1931, at the age of 15, Sterling Young's boyhood dream materialized when he began his apprenticeship as a jockey. He then learned how to ride, saddle and take the turns, entering his first race in Chicago a year later. However, in his first race, Young came in last. This didn't discourage him though. Following, he participated in races held in Canada, California, Kentucky—practically all the states, including Florida. Light Build Helped Mr. Young, who is five feet one-inch in height, weighs approximately 110 pounds. Since he was a young boy, he has always been of light build. This characteristic coupled with his love for horses were the points which launched Young's career as a jockey. Race after race have served as an exciting profession for Young, and he wouldn't change a thing if he had it to do over again! In 1937, Young won the annual King's Plate race in Canada. Similar to our Kentucky Derby, this was his most exciting race. At the time Young was working for H. C. Hatch, a Canadian distiller, who not only trained him but encouraged him. Rode Beameck An equally exciting race was in New York, where Young rode the mare Beameck in 1942. Beameck was then the best filly in the country, comparable to the Busher horse. "I've been lucky in everything," said Young, referring to his success as a jockey. "Jockeys can make a lot of money in a short period of time, if they are fortunate, behave and take care of themselves," according to Mr. Young. To most people a jockey's life may be an exciting one, but it's also a dangerous one. During his 15 years as a jockey, Mr. Young has had his share of "downfalls." In addition to minor injuries, Young suffered a dislocated hip and broken shoulder at Tropical Park one year. The horse he was riding struck another horse's heels causing his fall. Likes Fishing During his leisure time, Mr. Young goes fishing and plays golf. In Coral Gables, you'll find him lounging around at Salvador Park taking in the sunshine. Having traveled all over the country, he still prefers Florida, Coral Gables, that is, to any other city. With the close of Gulf Stream Park, Young plans to "catch as catch can" this summer. He'll go to Maryland, New Jersey and then to Canada. In Canada, he'll participate in the King's Plate race, riding the colt Victory Chimes. Mr. Young is at present president of the Jockey Guild, a national organization whose purpose is to uphold the interest, honesty and integrity among its members. He resides at 1143 Avenue Andalusia with his wife and two children.
