TOD SLOAN HELD ATTENTION LAST WEEK

Judge Murphy Completed Deal Dickson Case--Trotng


Whether the confirmation OF Tod Soa11's
WILL resll. in the retns stateTnent OF the Ko-
kono Jockey Is q matter which will now
be awaited with interest
Sloan fell into dtsfavor on the English
turf on account Of his insolence to men to
whom he was under contract. and on &C
count OF his general attitude toward the
turf officials. For refusing TO ride GER
tain horse At Sau Francisco. long before
this episode, he WAS once heavily fined.
In France he again became obstreperous
and was indefinitely ruled off the turf
Recognizing the ruling OF its brother
bodies. the Eastern Jockey Club refused
a license 20 Sloan. and he s still barred
from the tracks OF these three countries.
For being associated with q crowd OF
uusavory American turf followers on the
French courses and .or being suspected
end accused OF knowledge Of some trick
cry in connection with the Rose De Mai
case in the Diane Stake IN 1902 at Paris,
Sloan was barred from that course also.
Interest has always attached to Sloan
in the saddle having been made here
He appeared at the old South Side and
East St. Louis courses and his work in
the two resorts has often been dwelt upon
Few who freQueuted the old electric
light track or the five-furlCng sand
course across the river will forget Tod's
horse. Horn.ny Bill. the lanky gray on

MADE A FORTUNE
He made fortune in tho East. and had
an immense income while in Paris Sloan's
tremendous self-corceit always operated
against him. however. and he stirred up
much hostility by his unnecessary IN
JlesLsantness toward every person with
whom he came in contact.
A civil word from a trainer owner or
patron of race course in the Fast gen
orally produced only an insult in reply
from Sloan. and he finally became so Of
fensive TO the better class Of turfmen that
he got into Gisfavor generally.
He departed for England shortly after
and attempted the same line OF policy.
Racing Is not governed by politics IN the
East as il is in the Western Jockey Club.
and the fact that Sloan had men with
pull behind him did not save him from
punishment.
He was barred rom the turf and his
punishment in France promptly followed
Whether he will be put back in the good
graces of the American Jockey Club re-
mains to be seen.
