A green horse started in the last race at Ingleside yesterday called Jockey Bill. He was a 250 to chance in the betting and finished last. In a spirit of jest the St. Louis turfman Dan Honig, named the raw 'un after Willie Martin, and Jockey Bill'' is the handle applied to the clever riders name by turf habitues. Martin start ed in an impromptu setto with a spec tator who objected to his ride on Haz- ard and won in a punch. He should have been a 1 to i chance.

As Martin was returning to the paddock after weighing in he was surprised to be complimented by a tall young man on the other side Of the fence in choice expressions that would look we'll written in some unin- telIigible language. but which did not sound pretty to the jockey. The latter requested the tall young man to await his return. and he did. Now he is will ing to make affidavit that he was struck by a horse warming up through the stretch. Martin donned his street clothes and issued forth from the jockey room Whether or not he car ried horseshoe in his hand will never be known. He swun twice at the tall young man, and Justify as a man with leather lungs yelled ten in the prostrate kicker's ear. he made no eff fort to rise. Two policemen finally brought him around by vigorous fan ming and he departed for home dis gusted with the game. Martin will be summoned before the stewards to-day to show cause why he should not be matched with Kid" Mccoy.
