Chevaler and Henrichs have excited the
suspicion of the track officials, but owing
to the finesse displayed by the lads 1t
was difficult to attribute their failure. to
land winners to any other source save
the proverbial streak of bad luck. Re-
Gently their work has been of such a
character that detectives We're engaged
to watch the boys. 1t was soon discover
ed that the three Jockeys named were
frequent visitors to the boot factory of
Little Pete" and 1t was then observed
that on the day following each visit
pete" made killing at the track De-
spite the bad appearance of affairs, the
detectives were unable to do anything
until Henriehs became dissatisfied with
the share of the plumber doled out to
him and disclosed the whole plot to the
officials. A full investigation was made
and Chorn and Chevalier were today
ruled off the track for life and Henrichs
was suspended indefinitely. Little
Pete" has been barred from attending
either the Ingleside or the Bay District
tracks and Owner Dow Wallace, spon-
sor for Chevalier, has likewise been
warned off.
The association has also decided not
to accept the entries of Tom Griffin and
Andy Blakely on account of the peculiar
running of the horse Fair Faith on the
25th instant, and Jockey Coady'has been
indefinitely suspended for the manner in
which he rode Cabrillo on the same day.
Chorn, who has been in the employ of
Barney Schriber, was regarded as one
of the best jockeys In the country, hay
ing until recently led all others In per-
centage of winners. Chevalier was also
a promising youngster until he went
astray, but Henrichs has been under sus-
picion for a long time.
Little Pete has served term In San
Quentin for jury bribing and has been
implicated in several questionable trans
actions, notably the smuggling of the
Chinese actors" to the San Francisco
midwinter fair and the Atlanta exposi-
ton.
| The disclosures have created a ire
mendous sensation in turf circles and 1t
is officially stated that other crooked
work will be exposed and at least two
other Jockeys will be suspended IL not
