SCOOPED IN MILLIONS
How the Turf Tipsters Gulled the
Public.
A TRACK "TOUT" THAT STARTED 1T.
Jack Sheehan Sold Three Winners for Ten
Cents on the Long Island Race Trains
The Originator OF Scheme That Has Been
Worked by Sharpers on a Gigantic Scale
All Over the Country.

New York, D. c. (SpeciaD Con-

lice in all the big cities from New
York to San Francisco.
Jack Sheehan, a racetrack tout"
who six years ago started in by SELL
ing three winners for 10 cents on the
Long Island race trains, was the orig
inator OF the general scheme, which has
since developed and grown to such
great proportions.
The idea, born in his active brain,
developed into the great concerns
which took in millions where ne had
accepted dimes. and which sought out
their victims in every nook and cor
ner OF all the States in the Union.
The uprising OF the public against
these so-called SPECTATORS and the
publicity given their peculiar meth
DDS have in very brief time scattered
them to the winds. Those who have
not been forced out OF existence by the
police have rushed to cover. 1t seems
likely that the turf speculator" and his
get-rich-quick circulars will be want
ing.
To such men as William c. Whitney,
August Belmont, James r. Keene and
J. G.. Follansbee, all lovers OF clean
racing, is due the credit OF cleansing
the turf OF these people, for it was the
action OF the Coney Island Jockey Club
in refusing the entry OF Gold Heels in
the Suburban that first directed atten-
ton to the owpers-the E. J. Arnold
Co, OF ST. Louis. With the downfall
OF this concern the war against all
OF them began.
