Ednyfed H. Williams Wil-liams said, "right now I am more interested In men jockeys than in horses." Major Williams is a reserve army officer and chairman of the Illinois racing board. "Down through the years much has been said about improving the breed of horses in racing." he said. "But little has been done for the welfare of jockeys the key men in the sport. Well, I'm concentrating con-centrating on improving the conditions, con-ditions, at least under, which jockeys work." No one calls Chairman Williams Wil-liams "Ednyfed" because hardly anyone knows how to pronounoe that old-country We'sh name. They just call him "Ed" because he's that kind of a fellow despite de-spite his army and commission titles, and desnite the fact that he is one of Chicago's prominent attorneys. at-torneys. A Fine Chap-Ed Chap-Ed Williams is a small man with a bie mind, a chaD who can forget that he came up the hard way. Born in the coal-mining town of Bethesba, Wales, he was taken to a Minnesota farm at the aee of four. A kid who never liked the good earth except when he and his brothers were racing their horses .back from plowing, he hit out for hostile cities and carved out an education. That's little Ed Williams, middle-aged now with a preponderance of white in his heavy skull-thatch.. He expected the racing commissioner com-missioner to talk of Shut Out and his dramatic victory in Saturday's Arlington classic that clinched the three-year-old crown. But he never mentioned Shut Out. He talked only of jockeys and "gypsy" horsemen. Williams, as chairman of the Illinois racing board, has one of the most Important racing posts in the country. But it is a post that gives only prestige to the man who occupies it, because it pays neither salary nor expenses. He was made chairman last year. But he was appointed on a six-year six-year basis. No matter what he does, "they can't toss me out," he says. Because of this feelins: of in dependence and because- he loves and knows norse-racing, ne accepted ac-cepted the job and started his reforms. re-forms. "The key men in racing are the jockeys," Little Ed explained. "Regardless of the abilities of the horses, unless they are ridden properly they won't win. They're honest because of their love of the sport, rather than because of nnvthine racine has done for them." "Exceptional jockeys make a lot of money boys like Meade, Arcaro, etc. But most . of them don't. When I took office, many of the riders were making . only $10 or $15 a week. They were desperate for money in a sport that offers a multitude of opportunities oppor-tunities for dishonesty. I tried to help them and will continue to do so." When Williams took over, jockeys in Illinois were getting $25 for a winning ride, and $10 for finishing any place else. He changed that. Now the winning rider receives $35, the place rider gets $25 and the show jockey $15. The. others receive $10.

S ngs yjk Dempsey Supervises Toughening System For Coast Guard BY OSCAR FRALEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 28 UJ) The skill and knowledge that carried Jack Dempsey to the heavyweight boxing championship of the world' today is being utilized to teach Uncle Sam's coast guardsmen man-to-man tactics for subduing saboteurs and "bringing them back alive." Dempsey it now a lieutenant in the service. "A dead saboteur is .better than a live one on the loose, but they're even more valuable as prisoners who can give us information," in-formation," Dempsey said today as he sent several hundred men through their paces at the Manhattan Man-hattan Beach training station's outdoor gymnasium. "These men who guard our long coastline, our docks and our shipping facilities must be tough," he added. "It's our business to make them able to meet any emergency, and we're going to do it." Dempsey drew the coast guard toughening system from the experience ex-perience he gained while battering his way from mining camp brawls to the top of the fistic ladder. The system calls for boxing, wrestling, jiu jitsu, knife wielding, wield-ing, and other rough and tumble tactics. Aiding him is a trained 32-man staff, including former boxers Lou Ambers, Nathan Mann- and Marty Servo. Daily they drill classes of from 150 to 300 men in relays -at an outdoor gymnasium' on a rocky strip of land jutting out into the Atlantic. There are 12 rings in constant use and cleared spaces where bodies are spun through the air in judo holds. The gym "floor" is a covering of sawdust which barely takes off the shock of landing but, as Dempsey says, "it toughens them up." "When we first get the men," the swarthy Manassa Mauler explained, ex-plained, "many of them have never had on a pair of boxing gloves. But the boys are willing -- It's b vJ .

Conducting classes six days .a week, demonstrating demon-strating punches and holds, he has lost 15 pounds in less than a month. On Friday he will travel to Battle Creek, Mich., to demonstrate dem-onstrate .the system. "Two hours daily for the first week of training are devoted to calisthenics, road work and preliminary pre-liminary instruction," Dempsey explained. "After . this there is three weeks of constant practice in fighting methods. Two of the most important things are that when a man concludes the course he can disarm a man who wields a knife or a gun," he added. More than 10,000 men now are receiving instruction and of this number 142 are chief petty officers offi-cers who will teach these tactics at other stations. Members of the current first class include Bob Fitch, former Minnesota All-American All-American "Liz" Astroth, one-time Illinois baseball captain, and Ray Gallivan, Illinois quarterback of Red Grange days.
