INDIAN PRINCE WANTS AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY
DARBY MUNRO RECEIVES TEMPTING OFFER Recd. 11 p.m. Sydney, March 19. Australia’s leading jockey, Darby Munro, has received a five-figure offer, the biggest ever made to an Australian, to ride lor the Gaekwar ol Baroda in India and France. Munro declined because of his inability to contract to make the required weight of 8.7, but there is every possibility that the Kaekwar will try again to secure him. Munro said to-day that he could contract to ride at 8.10, or probably a little lighter, and expressed the hope that in the near future be would be able to achieve his ambition to ride in England. Under the terms of the offer he would have had to leave Sydney by air on April 14.
