TOD SLOAN ON HIS MUSCLE
HE DISTINGUISHES HIMSELF BY
BEATING A WAITER.
Cowardly Assault With a Cham
payne Bottle That May Get the
Jockey Into Trouble.

London, June 16.-The Star today
says:
After the racing yesterday Cat Ascot
Sloan appeared on the lawn and a
waiter accidentally upset a glass of
liquor over Sloan's clothing. The lat
ter instantly rose from his chair and
struck the waiter in the face with a
champagne bottle, infiicting several
wounds. No doubt the affair will be
hushed up. but it was the most unpro-
voked assault ever witnessed.
The Evening News, referring to
Sloan's assault on the waiter without
giving any name, says:
He was the guest of a member of
the Sports club The waiter was so
injured that he was removed to the
hospital in a cab. All the witnesses
cried shame" and ladies struck at
his assailant with parasols. AS there
is only one jockey now holding q Ii
cense who could be guilty of such a
cowardly and repulsive act while the
guest of a member of the club, it would
be superfluous to give his name The
immediate duty of the jockey club is
to institute inquiries and. if the facts
are as stated. to forthwith withdraw
the Jockeys license.
Talking about the matter with a
representative of the Associated Press
today, Tod Sloan said:
"A waiter was very drunk when /
happened on the lawn with some
friends, and he grew insulting to my
friends and myself. and a friend said
if he continued 50 doing he would hit
him. The waiter disappeared at that
moment. when j remarked:
Now, when he returns he will upset
the table Sure enough he did so.

One man struck him and his finger
rings cut the walters mouth. / being
the only man known, people said: oh.
Sloan did it And. seeing the blood.
they said l had used a bottle.
As TO the jockey club taking action
in the matter, as has been reported.

story. for they know ! have told them
the exact truth as to the fellows ac-

POLICE ARE PUZZLED.
Arrested an Offender who Violated
No Law

James Phillips, a runner for the
White House, was taken into custody
yesterday by Officer Hempel, but the
police are at a loss to know with what
to charge him. Phillips was, it is al
legged, soliciting for his house OH Main
street, which is against the rules, but
no ordinance seems to exactly en-
brace the offense. 1t can't be va
grancy, nor yet drunkenness. He isn't
quite large enough TO obstruct the side
walk, nor was he violating the fire es-
cape ordinance. He will appear before
Judge Timmony today. and meanwhile
the wits of Clerk Diehl will be en-
ployed.
