The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-09-21
Odds Were False.

The odds given by Bookmaker Maley
! showed that he knew something of the
affair and was not to be caught He
made Bill Howard a favorite at ] to g.,
which is almost the highest odds he
has demanded at this meet. On Hymn,
who would naturally have been the ia
vorite, he asked only 2 to 1 and he bet
2 to that both Bluebell and Bluesign
would lose.
When the horses came to the track
the judges called them UP and ex-
planned to the jockeys that there would
be severe punishment for any crooked
work. They rode on an eighth of q
mile above the stand to start, but be-
fore they got off the judges again Or
dered them back. They sent for Shorty
Evans to ride Hymn in place of Burns.
Bring that horse up here" called out
one of the judges, as Burns rode up
and one of the attendants went out to
catch Hymn by the bride, because she
is rather wild.
Don't touch this horse yelled
Burns, who saw that he was to be taken
off. Keep away from her No one
can touch her. I'm not going to get
down I've got my money on this
horse and I'm going to protect it. 1
know just as much about betting my
money as you do.
DO you mean to intimate that the
Judges nave money ON 1dSO. o-orACd
one of the judges.
Il don't know if you have or not"
yelled Burns, and he rode on up the
track.
People Were Astonished.
The people in the grandstand and
about the betting ring were astcnished
and they stood up or rushed to the
fence.
Mr.. Marshal, arrest that man and
put him away cried out one of the
That made Burns desperate. He
knew that to save his money and keep
the horse from being ridden by an
other Jockey he would have to take ner
off the track.
There wassa big crowd around the
gate where the racers came from the
stables. and a bar four feet high
blocked the way. But Burns was nervy.
He rushed his horse and jumped the
railing. Then he dashed at q fast gall
lop through the crowd to the south
east gate of the park
Don't let him out called the judges,
and policeman and marshals ran to the
cote. but Burns was too fast. One-half
the gate was closed, SO he squeezed out
the other and ran on out into the
street. Bets We're declared off and the
race was run with the three remaining
horses. -
AS a result CT his defiance. which the
Judges believed was under instructions
from Dan Conley. the owner of Hymn,
BURNS was expelled from association
tracks and Conley was fined 500. Burns
has practically ruined himself as a
Jockey. for he can only be reinstated
bv the same three judges when acting
nc iud,yes at a race meet. AS they may 4
never again get together, he may never
be reinstated.
Conley In a Bad Fix.
Conley, too. is in a bad fix, for the
Salt Lake association is already mold
ing his two horses, Hymn and Bernice
for a debt Of $S7.75. This, with 500
more, he is unable to pay, so that ne
may lose one of the animals
But there was another feature OF
Yesterdays racing. Jockey Dingley
landed three winners out OF four
mounts. He has become the most pop
ular man on the track, and many per-
sons backed his mounts regardless OF |
other considerations. He came in first |
on Bill Howard, Gold Bug and Sea |
Queen.
The first race of the day was
mixed pace and trot of three heats in |
five, in which were entered Adelaide |
Complete, Logan and Wirey Joe.
The book on the first heat was:
Rowdy Boy, to 1; Adelaide Complete,
4 to 1; Logan, l to 8, and Wirey Joe, |
8 to 2. At the turn Wirey Joe shot
ahead of the bunch and led to the
quarter post. At the half he was still I
two lengths ahead of Logan, while
Adelaide Complete was six lengths be-
hind.
But Adelaide came up in magnif-
cent style and finished one-half
length in the lead. with Logan four
lengths behind. The mutuals paid
s4.90. The book on the second heat I
was: Rowdy Boy, 6 to 1; Adelaide, 4 to
5; Logan, to 5, and Wirey Joe. 2 to 1.
Wirey Joe again shot out at the turn
and at the quarter he was ten lengths
ahead of Adelaide. Logan and Rowdy
Boy went off their feet, so they had
no chance Joe took the heat by
length over Adelaide. The time was
1884. Rowdy Boy was distanced. Mu-
Luals paid S16.75.
Adelaide Made Favorite.
Adelaide was made the favorite in
the third heat at ! to 2. with Logan
to 2 and Wirey Joe to 2. Wirey
