HENRY WATTERSON UNBACKED

NEW ORLEANS. December 27.-The
stewards of the Crescent City Hockey
Club took a determined stand yesterday
against poor jockeyship and horses that
fail to run to form. After Big Bow was
badly beaten in the third race at the Fair
Grounds track, they ordered the secretary
to refuse his entry in the future. At the
same time they suspended indefinitely
Jockey Reyes. his rider.
This action was executed so quietly that
scarcely more than a half dozen turfmen
knew about it at the end of the days
sport An investigation of the jockey and
horse is ordered and will take place be-
ginning today.
In the parlance of the race track. De-
bar seemed to be "shooed in" This horse
was made a top-heavy favorite at l to =,
and was backed by every clever horseman
at the track. He had been racing prom
inently of late. but not enough to warrant
this plunge. Holloway was second and Big
Bow third choice.
Debar took the lead from the start AL
though he is a slow beginner and more of
a ''rater' than a speedy horse it was
noticeable that the opposing jockeys took
pull on their mounts and permitted him
TO go to the front.
Keyes Very Inactive.
Keyes was most apathetic. He kept
Big Bow in the rear of the field until the
last furlong The horse fought for his
head. In the stretch Keyes gave him
free rein The horse responded we'll, but
the effort came too late. and he was I'M
able to finish better than fifth
Bad and good luck came to Big Tim
Sullivan's horses in turn. as he won and
lost a race with Gold Circle and Henry
Watterson. But the defeat of the first
named cost the Tammanyites here many
dollars. and the success of the latter failed
TO compensate them for their early losses.
Gold Circle was plunged upon to beat
Morales and Sir Toddington in the fifth
race. Although this geding was ridden
by Garner and well handled by the premier
jockey. he was unable to finish better than
third. The two mentioned horses finished
first and second respectively.
The defeat of Gold Circle placed the spir-
its of the Tammany crowd at a low point
when Henry Watterson started in the last
race. Many lost heart-as we'll their
dollars-and refused TO even up the score
by backing him Consequently the colts
odds drifted from ; to . to . to l. After
. tempestuous trip he Won on the post by
head.

Turf and Track Notes
Reports are rife in New Orleans that
there is much dissension in the ranks of
the present stockholders of the Crescent
City Jockey Club. 1t is alleged that all
the old officials of the club are to be dis
