Eeud Hetwoen the white and CeIOred jock

Iiams wins Race with shot Cum. A.
Drake Intends 20 Sell Out and Retire.
For some time a yarn has been In circulation
among turfmen TO tho effect that the white
Jockeys on the local tracks were combined
IN an attempt TO hamper and harass the
Colored riders. Before the running Of the
nth race yesterday W. B. Jennings. owner
Of Shot Gun. took L.. Williams. the negro
who had been engaged 20 pilot the horse to
one side and told him that he believed the
white boys had consplred to keep him from
winning.
sLook out they don't get you into a pocket
said Jennings. Il believe they will try TO shut
you or"
Never fear. boss. replied williams. with
a laugh. When I get ready to come to the
front I'll bust through az sure as you live.
They can't stop me-. boss"
The race was under way but q short dis
lance when Shot Gun was pockated. On
the far turn Williams tried to conn through
with him, but Lyme. who rode Prince Ham
burg, shut him on by pulling over in front
Of him. As they turned into the stretch
Prince HAMBURG had the rail. with Shot Gun
70 his right a short distance behind him,
and oxford on the outside. Instead Of hug
cling the rail Lyme pulled his horse away from

through which Williams boldly drove Shot
Gun at the sixteenth pole. Prince Hamburg
Incidentally interfered with Robin Hood,
whose boy. Nicol. had to pull up. II was a
clear case Of foul riding. and the stewards.
who probably knew OF the alleged conspiracy
10 interfere with the colored riders, par
ticulariy Williams. lost no time in disquaify-
ing Iyne's mount. which placed Robin Hood
in third place. Williams wore q grin from
ear to ear when he met Jennings in the pad
dock after the race.
They didn't do me, boss. " he said. but II
looks as if they tried mighty hard. l brushed
my way through them and got the money.
You bet I can take care OF myself II they
want 10 begin rough ridingl"
Lyme is a Kentuckian. but whether a hatred
Of the colored race prompted him to interfere
With williams or not will probably never be
disclosed. The stewards will keep their eyes
omen in future for similar incidents, as the
Jockey Clubs motto has always been a square
deal for all. regardless of color or creed.
John A. Drake said yesterday that at the
end Of the present meeting at the Bay he in
tends to sell out his racing stable and retire
from the turf.
There is no use trying to beat the game"
said the Chicago turfmAn to The Sun man.
THE layers seem to have combined against
me and never quote fair prices against my
horses. II Far West, for instance. had run
in my name on Monday he would have been

consistently all the year and l believe that
the public has confidence in them. Yet the
layers have persisted in quoting ridiculously
small prices against them, even when IL was
q snail chance for them to win. That is the
reason why l have practically come to the
conclusion to give up the game. as 1t is not
worth all the trouble and annoyance to which

BILE for the pure fun Of IL. l like to bet. just
as othP owners do. but l do not believe in
discriu ul'Ion."
IVES, 'n on the second race in the Drake
Colors, was opened at Q to 10. His owner bet
on him.. but not extensively. The gelding was
entered TO be sold for 81 900 and when he
Was put IN at auction P. NJ. Civil, who ran
second with Orly H.. proceeded to bid him
up. Trainer Wishard protected Yves until
he had bid zoos. Then Civil bid 81, 500 and
Wishard let him go. This incident had moth
ing 10 do with brakes decision to retire, for
he has been thinking Of doing so for several
weeks, Drake has sold his horses several
times in the past and has temporarily with
drawn from the turf. but he has come back
each time with renewed enthus asm. Posi-
lily he will change his present attitude after
The Coming long winter. He IL a good sports
man and the running OF his horses has never
teen questioned.
