NEW YORK. July &.-Jockey Charles
Bell got himself into rrouoie yesterday
because OF a queer looking ride ON G..
c. SmiThsOu's BoDbie Eean, trained by
William Garth, in the fouth race al the
beach
The stewards of the meeting, C.. J..
Fitzgerald, II. x, Knapp, and ". s.
NosbuTgh. notified The boy after the race
that his license had been suspended. The
case viii be investigated and a report
viii probably be made 10 the Jockey
club BObbie Kean. with Bell up. de-
feated the crack mare LoeistiIla on
Thursday. Bell rode the horse on that
occasion I'm splendid style.
Weird Riding.
Because of this achievement Bobbie
Keau was picked 10 win yesterdays
event. but no sooner had ne opened an
equal favorite with Aeronaut at 8 10 >
than his price went up while Aeronaut
was backed of the boards. Bell sue
Ceeded in tanning Garuish. one of the
COnJenders. TO the rail lust after leaV-
Ing the lower turn, SO that the latter s
Jockey had 20 pun up short. Garnish's
Hanks were severely cut by the fence
and he could not run q little bit after
the accident Then Bells mount inter
ferrd with another horse on the back
stretch, after which the jockey appear
ed 10 take BObbie keau up. for some
reason best known 10 himself.
The ride was so bad that the action
of the stewards was generally autlci-
pated. Trainer Garth was not at the
track and the boy received his inStruC-
tionS from II. r Coles Bell Is under
contract to .. W. Deppler. who was at
one time identified with the get-rich-
quick schemes of the notorious John J.
Ryan Depplcr. who has been racing at
Rurfaip brought Bell here last week
Whitney Entry Failed.
The performance of Fl. p. Whitney :
Yankee Niles. Fads and Faucies and
Puritan Girl, IN the fifth race, was a
shock 20 the wise men who backed them
with unlimited coin. Trainer John W.
Rogers told his friends that Fads and
FanCies could not lose John f Mad
den. who trained Fantastic. the winner.
also believed that the Whitney entry was
a cinch. Tony AsJe. who was repre-
seuted in the race by Gold Lady, was
sure that he did not have a chance be-
cause OF the b0asted prowess OF the
Whitney pair.
And SO il went an the way down the
line Every plunger had the mp and un-
hooked mis- bank roll 10 clean up with
the Teputed good thing The moment the
prices appeared in the clubhouse Will
liam Du Bois got couple OF big wagers
on The entry and then refused 10 take
another dollar.
1T is in" said he, and don't care TO
be trimmed
The other clubhouse agents were busy
laying Oft all kinds of money in the ring
The public got the tip, too. and from
% ! the price against the pair was beaten
down 20 70 al the close. Il looked
like a slaughter for the books. and many
OF the chalkers declined TO accept waEc-s
at the last moment. Then came the race
and fall for the smart people, who
looked on In speechless astouishment.
Neither Fads and FauCies nor Puritan
Girl could get up EallOp. The further
they went the more ground they lost, IN
spite OF the fact that both Of them were
straight when they reached the far turn.
Where are they?' qUeried the smart
guys.
They are running the other way" said
A few wags. When the finish came Purl-
tan Girl was sixth and Fads and Fan
Cies was absolutely last
