he Says Hes Been Getting the KnOtty
End Of the Rope.
NO BAY DISTRICT IN HIS
The "Phony" Ticket Played on
Joe Rose, the Bookie-Soltaire
Was Leaded-Bagley Can't
Play His Part.

Green B. Morris, the owner of Sir Play,
Sallie Clicquot, Miss Maxim. Lobengula,
Strathmeath, Star Ruby and several 9TH
er horses. declared Friday, says the
Chronicle. that he would never race an
other one at the Bay District track.
Morris asserts that he has been given
the knotted end of the rope In several in
stances. He claims that Sallie Clicquot
should have been given the race over
Ramiro in the stake race. 1t appears that
the rider of Sallie Clicquot was a pouno
and half short when he came to weigh
in after the race. The clerk of the scales
reported to the Judges. who ordered the
Jockey to go to the scales used in the
secretary Office and which he made
weight on originally. He was accompa-
MED to the scales by Edwin f. Smith and
NJ. Williamson. where he made his exact
weight The judges then declared Ramiro
the winner. Morris was a trifie hot over
the decision, but did not fully make up
his mind to leave Bay District until after
the Star Ruby race. won by Derfargilla.
A foul was claimed, but was not allowed
by the judges. The horses controlled by
Morris will be raced at Ingleside. howev-
er. Judge Burke, when questioned about
the matter said that Green Morris should
be made to apologize for his unjust insin-
nations, and stated that Morris has had
such trouble on many of the eastern
tracks.
John Rose. the well-known bookmaker
was caught at the Bay District track for
1912 by means of a ''phony' ticket, which
has several times been worked, but for
smaller amounts. "Pittsburg Phil" bet
Rose $3.50 to 500 on Derfargilla ON We'd
nesday. Somebody followed on the heels
of "Pittsburg Phil' and bet SIS to $40. He
raised II to $50 to 500 and made the nee
essary changes, so that the cashier paid
afF ktr.lr4 t1.ne h. 1,..t
corded by "Pittsburg Phil" The latter
called around to collect next day when
the swindle was discovered.
Solitaire was caught with lead under all
four plates at st. Aspath. The owners,
with the entire stable. were ruled off.
Solitaire is owned by the Waterloo stable.
The people that own Crackajack came
very nearly pulling a good thing off at
the Bay District yesterday, says the Ex-
aminer. They had everything arranged,
but the boy. Instead OF getting a good
Jockey to pilot their horse. they put up
Bagley. who rode at Anaconda last sum
mer, and who would have hard work to
ride in a box car IL the door was open
Crackajack is about the homeliest horse
that ever ran over the Bay District track
He is long and low. with the appearance
of a half-bred Percheron. If his heart
were as big as his feet he would be the
greatest race horse of the century, for
he has plenty of speed. Some books boost
ed his price TO 100 to l yesterday, and then |
those who knew about the good thing /
started in to play him. In a minute or 4
two his price had been cut TO 10 and that /
was about the best quotation against !
him when the flag fell Crackajack shot /
on in the lead at once and on the upper /
turn had opened up a gap of several 4

though the others would never catch him.
but when he did stop he stopped all of |
sudden, and City Girl. about the only well |
bred horse in the bunch, came on and
won handily. Crackajack was another
good thing gone wrong. If the coup had
been properly managed there would have
peen no difficulty In cleaning up a good
big sum.
In the Rosemeade stake run at San
Francisco last week, which was won nv
Santa Bella, two of the best Jockeys al
the Bay District were severely injured
The mishap occurred when the field was
