two years.

the damage was small. That was es'

crew reached the exhausted Assyrian nrst

Special Cable Despatch TO THE sun.
PARIS, May 20.-The French Jockey Club
has decided to exclude Tod Sloan from

alleging that he knowingly abetted repre-
hensible conduct by the trainer Of Rose
de Mai who won the Prix de Chantilly at
Chantilly on May II after rumors of the
mares i'll health had considerably length
ened her price in the betting.
Rose de Mai was nominally trained by
Jean Brethes, who seems to have covered
others, including Sloan, with his identity.
Sloan gal!oped Rose de Mai for Brethes
on the Jockey Clubs private course at
Chantilly on the morning OF the race with
out the permission of the club,
Brethes has been fined 1000 francs.
sloan's penalty s something Of novelty.
The stewards only recently assumed the
power to exclude offenders. 1t is said
that there will be further developments
on May "a, when the French Derby is run.
The affair engrosses the attention of
sporting circles, in certain quarters OF
which there Ia the harshest judgment on
what ia described as "a Yankee trick.
Count Saint Phalle the owner of Rose de
Mai is regarded as blameless. He has a
clean reputation, and there is much SYM
pathy for him. Among the predicted de-
yelopments are two duels. There seems
to be more behind the affair than has been
