HILDEBRAND WARNED.
Crack Jockey Refuses to Ride Again at
Los Angeles

A special from Los Angeles says that as
result Of the warning to Jockey Hide
brand regarding his foul riding at Ascot,
sensation was sprung yesterday afternoon
when it was given out that the premier
American rider would not be seen in the
saddle again this season at the Los Angeles
tracks. People interested in Hildebrand
took exception to the ruling of Judge Ham
ilton and informed the track officials that
the boy had made his last appearance there
On the top of this came the suspension OF
Jockey Lawrence. The judges were any
thing but satisfied with the riding of Law
renee since the meeting began and feared
for some time that the boy was under the
Influence Of several well-known turf opera
tors. Lawrence had the mount on Ben
Lear last Monday and put up a suspicious
ride. Yesterday the horse won with some
thing to spare with another boy in the sad
die and an investigation by Judge Hamilton
followed. Trainer Tomlinson was ruled or
for running Nellie May In shoes contrary
to the racing rules. Trainer ST. Vincent
was indefinitely suspended for sending Tan
gible to the post sore and unfit Judge
Hamilton said yesterday that a searching
investigation Of several suspicious occur
rences was under way and that 1t would
probably result In further drastic action
1t is understood. a prominent bookmaker
will withdraw as result of the Hildebra nd
controversy.
