JOCKEY DELABY SET
DOWN FOR TWO WEEKS

Ne" ONLEANS, bcCeuIUeI.
change in Charley Ellison's turf fortunes
came yesterday. For the first time during
the winter his race horses ran true to ex-
pectations and he cashed big bets on
Jacobite and Grace Larsen, winners of
the fourth and sixth races. respectively,
at the City Park track.
The success of Ellison's horses came in
the nick of time and relieved him from
severe financial pressure. Jacobite was
made the medium of a heavy plunge by
the tall blond horseman. and his heavy
commission sent the gelding's price from
4 to 5 down to to 3. Jacobite never gave
his owner the slightest uneaSiness regard
ing the result of the bets, for he rushed
to the front in the first furlong. opened
gap of three lengths and won very easily
by four lengths.
Although Jacobite helped Ellson's bank
account considerably. it was Grace Lar
sen that enabled him to win the biggest
bet of the afternoon. This was due to
the fact that there was as high ass to
against the filly, and that Ellison placed
all of the Jacobite winnings on her and
forced her odds down to to l. Through
Jockey Notter's clever horsemanship
Grace Larsen won. James R. keene's fu-
ture jockey got Grace Larsen off we'll at
the start, and, riding her patiently be-
hind Charley Thompson to the stretch. re-

Charley Thompson was ridden with bad
judgment and too much use was made OF
his speed Notter was able to bring Grace
Larsen up with winning squirt M the
stretch and sent her past the winning post
two lengths in the lead.
Notter Rides Three Winners.
Notter rode three Of tthe six winners.
He had the mount on Jacobite and Grace
Larsen for his regular employer, Charley
Ellison, and was also asked to pilot Lens.
His good horsemanship again came into
play on the last named horse. Had Minder
used as much discretion regarding the
early speed of AL Muller that colt would
have earned the decision. But he opened
too much Of a gap during the early stages
of the race. Consequently the little colt
was leg weary when. he reached the head
of the stretch. Lens waited until swing
ing for home where. under a vigorous
ride, he took the lead and won in driv-
ing finish by a length.
Jockey Delaby was suspended for two
weeks by the stewards. For some time
past the saddle work of this clever light
weight rider has not been entirely salts
factory to the officials, and on one or two
occasions they have censured him for
what they considered "apathetic horse
manship.'' The boy gave plausible ex-
cuses for his seemingly Indifferent riding,
and he Is only mite of younsster
and came here with a good reputation the
stewards gave him the benefit OF the
doubt and permitted him to ride.
Delaby's handling of Okenite. the second
choice in the fourth race, caused adverse
criticism, and as his riding of Approba-
ton was also somewhat weird, the stew
ards decided to suspend him in order to
permit him to think the case over thor
oughly. They believe that this punish
ment may bring out better results in the
future from the lad.
