AFTER MARKET HUNTER DIDN'T GET THE MONEY
Tod SIOan's Victory In Courts
Not as Was First
Reported.

New York, Jan. There appears to be
another version to the case Of Jockey
Tod Sloan, who was recently supposed TO
nave received a verdict of $4,000 against
the French Jockey club The London
sportsman, II commenting on the case,
says
The court of appeal has Just given its
decision in this remarkable case. caused
by the ruling off of Tod Sloan from all
premises under the immediate control of
the Soc1ete d'EnCOura cement (French
Jockey club, owing TO the part he took in
the preparation Of Rose de Mai. the win
ner of the PriX de Diane COR French Oaks)
at Chantilly in 1909.
Sloan argued that as he was not the
holder of a license from the SocietA d En-
enlargement he was not under the juris-
dlctlon of the stewards and could. there
fore, only be considered a trespasser on
their rides. He therefore. sued the stew
ards Of the SOciete d Encouragement and
the publisher of their official calendar for
DANA geS.
The first court gave a decision in his
favor and the finding of the court OF ap-
peal somewhat concurs, although the
damages claimed by Sloan have been dis
allowed and limited to the payment by
the SOclete encouragement of his taxed
costs
thority vested in the stewards of the So
ciete d EncOuraSen1ent has been satisfac-
Jorily awarded. The court of appeal has
upheld the authority of the stewards and
confirmed their right of warning off from
all Enclosures and premises. their own
private property, any person under their
control"

suggestions that are of great inter est to

things Warden Sharp faVOrS q change in
the duck shooting season By cutting out
the months shooting in the spring. He
also favors the passage of q law prohibit
iting the sale of wild game at all seasons

This is evidently a direct slam at the
market shooters. and question That has
been fought over in every legislature that
has been in session in the state for years.
The sportsmen of the state are strongly
in favor of the passage OF q law of this
kind, and claim il will do more to pro
tect ducks than any other act that the
state can DO 1t is an open secret that
the market hunters give the game war
Gens more troubl5 than all Of the sports
men in the state combined They seldom
stop at the limit of forty ducks allowed
by Jaw, but IL is next to impossible to get
evidence against them The warden
thinks, and Is backed up in his; opinion
by many spOrtsmcu, that law prohibit
ing the sale of game birds would &c away
with the market hunters and make the
game more plentiful for every body.
