MILLER NEEDS DISCIPLINfNG
There has been great deal of COM
plant among the other jockeys ~ the
track because Of MHlcr's rough and
questions bic tactics almost from the
beginning OF his engagement at Emery
willie. Close observers have noted num-
erous instances Then he has ridden
rouRh-sh0d over other boys and have
Wondered that ne official notice was
taken. ia is known that some Of the
boys whose mounts have suffered from
such a cause were inclined to pass the
matter over because III was supposed
that Millers relations with President
Williams OF the Jockey Club, 60 whom
he is under contract. might render
rhem persona non graUa with the track
officials if they attempted TO procure
the Punishment Of the offender.
That such was a mistaken view OF
she situation is shown by the prompt
ness and. severity with which Miller
was yesterday punished While per
haps there has been no instance la
which the ofense was so hagrant as
II was yesterday there have been sew
eral cases I'm which Miller has put con-
tenders out OF the running by the en-
ployment Of tactics similar TO those
for which he is now undergoing pun
ishment. The only disciplinary action
previously taken against the boy since
his first appearance here was the i'm
position Of a $50 fine for having cut
across the track with one Of his
mounts at time when the judges
were making a crusade against rough
riding practices. This was soon after
De began riding here.
HOW THE RACE WAS WON
The incident Of yesterday was espe-
cially exasperating 10 the hackers OF
Boloman, as the opinion prevails that
the horse would have won easily

business with his mount instead Of
trying % put the contenders out Of the
running.
There were only FIVE horses in the

ably.
The start was good Miller sent
Bol0man TO the front at once and had
opened 9 gap Of three lengths on Man
dstor. the nearest contender, at the
hslf-mile pole. MandatOr closed on
the favorite on the last turn and Miller
began his foul tactics by carrying him
wide into the stretch as Mandator came
ND on the outside. Having disposed of
this contender Miller came down the
middle Of the stretch, but discovering
that Graham had saved a great deal
OF ground with Fulletta by skinning
the rail and thereby threatened him
with defeat. he swung BOlOman over 10
the inside IN front Of Fulletta. after
passing the paddock. although he care
fully refrained from letting his mount
come into actual contact with the
other horse. l3oloman was first to the
wire by three-ousrters of length and
Fulletta finished only neck in front
OF MsndatOr. The others were beaten
of, Graphite quitting after showing
early speed, and Blue Eyes failing TO
raise a gallop in the sloppy going.
After listening to the statements Of
all three jockeys the judges placed
Fulletta first, Mandator second and
Bolomsn third.
HECTOR's FORM REVERSAL
Hector and Van Ness were RESPONSE
bic for a bad-loofing upset in the Ge-
heimness handicap, the feature event
OF the card. Van Ness was an Odds-on
favOrite and was stanchly supported.
There was also a heavy play on Mary
r. Miller was I'D on the latter and
Sandy was on the favOrite. The chances
OF Hector and Ocean Shore were so lit
