PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE court which has
been hearing the arguments in the case of
Tod Sloan. the American jockey, against the
French Jockey Club for $4,000 damag for
being warned off the turf in connection with
the Rose de MATS winning the Prix De
Diane at Chantilli May last, to-day found
in favor of Sloan and condemned the jockey
club to pay the costs, the amount of which
will be assessed later. The Case involved
the jockey clubs sole control of the French
turf administration.
The court, while holding that Sloans COM
plant was justified. pointed out that he
had not showed that the course of the club
caused him serious prejudice had limited
the damages to the expenses OF the acton.
The French Jockey Club May 80 issued
a notification to the effect that Tod Sloan
had been excluded from further entrance to
the weighing enclosure or training grounds
of the race courses under the jurisdiction
OF the jockey club, for having exercised
Count de Saint Phalles Rose de Mai at
Chantili about two weeks previously with
out having received permission from the
proper turf authorities. 1t was publicly
stated at the time that the exclusion of the
American jockey was the result of his

breach of the rules in galloping Rose de

INTEREST INCREASING
IN AMATEUR LEAGUE
Habich Team, by Playing Consist
ent Polo, Occupies First
Place.
GOOD PLAYERS ON FIVE

The polo fans of this city are taking great
interest in the Commercial League series
and many of them are on hand at each
game to cheer for their favorites. The teams
have been greatly handicapped because they
have had no chance whatever to practice,
but they have been playing fast polo con-
sidering the conditions. The star players
are well divided among the six teams and
at this time it is too early to make any
predictions as to the final outcome Of the
series.
The Habich team now leads the league
with a clean record. 1t has been playing
wonderfully consistent polo and has won
two of it's three games by good margins.
Frost and Warm. of the Habich rush line,
team we'll together and miss few shots for
the cage. Warm especially is good in this
respect and has Gagged a majority of the
goals for his team. III. Kenworthy. at CEN
ter. Is one of the best players in this posi-
ton in the Commercial League, while G..
kenwOrthy at half back and Darby at
goal are conceded to be the best players In
these positions among the city amateurs.
