Spray won. Little Pete took about
$1,000 out Of the ring. He divided the
money with the Jockeys
The following day they repeated the
pulling performance in the first race.
Little Pete" backed Showdown and
he won. 1t was a great day for Jerry
Chorn, and II was through him that
Belle Archer. the actress. won a large
sum Of pocket money. Chorn knows
the actress, and when the second race
came along he was billed to ride Grey
hurst. Now this Greyhurst was Ito
shot-a prohibitive favorite. The field
was TO /. Jerry sent word to Miss
Archer to back the field to beat his
mount, and also to bet on Adam An
drew. a 10-to-1 shot. Adam Andrew
won easily. Miss Archer, of course.
was elated. Who would not be? She
won $500 on the turn.
Miss Archer had more good fortune
for Jerry was doing a land-office bust
ness that day. He had the mount on
Hidago in the last race. and Hidago
was 2-to-5 shot Scimitar was 5-to-1.
Jerry sent word to his employer, Bar
ney Schneider. who owns Hidago. TO
bet heavily on him. and also to bet $500
for himself. Little Pete" backed
Scimitar all over the ring. forcing his
price down from 8 to to 5.
Scimitar won. Miss Archer was $1,000
winner on the day. Little Pete" won
over $4,000 on the race, and Barney
Schneider was a big loser
That night Chorn visited the Wash
ington street shoe factory and came
away with money. He went directly to
John Mackey of the Rancho del Paso
and paid him 500 he owed him for a
colt. Last Thursday Jerry rode Hidal-
go again. He was an odds-on favorite,
but the heather, whose ways are pecu-
liar. backed Collins. ridden by Cheva-
Her. He cleaned up few thousand on
the deal. The owner of Collins did not
think his horse had one chance i'm a
hundred of winning. This ended the
business of the firm. but, going back a
little, race-goers will remember the day
at lngleside when Collins, with Cheva-
lier up. was backed so heavily by Lit
tie Pete" and he beat the favorite,
Basso, ridden by Jerry Chorn.
1t might also interest race-goers to
know what accounted for Chevalier's
sudden display Of an ability to ride.
Last spring he was winning on long
shots that a few days before, with
clever jockeys up, could not beat any
thing. He was using an electric belt,
with wires attached to his spurs, and
every time he would dig them into his
horses TANKS the animal would go like
a streak of creased lightning. Little
Pete" always had good bets on the win
ners and so did Dow Williams
Some Of the other Jockeys learned
that Chevalier was using the belt and
when they began TO question him about
Its workings he concluded that he had
better put IL aside.
Jockey Arthur Hinrichs is a st. Louis
boy. After learning lithographing he
to become a Jockey. He
worked horses for a few months and
then started to ride races, winning 70
at East st. Louis in three months. He |
Is clever jockey, but very knowing.

Little Pete and the other jocks. The

The horse could have won"
jerry Chorn could not be found yester-
lay. Barney Schneider now thinks he
las been getting the worst of IL for
ong time. Edward Corrigan and his
rainer. Baker. told him time and time
gain that they did not believe Chorn
vas riding to win all the time. Barney
ould not believe that Chorn was crook
d, but, of course, his opinion is very
ifferent now.
Little Pete" was not affected at all
" his ruling off, for he is said to be
yer 500, 900 ahead of the game.
