FULL OF FUN'S JOKE.
SUSPENDS HIS. JOCKEY

NEW ORLEANS, January 1.-The
stewards Of the City Park track yester-
day suspended Jockey Mcclure for an in-
definite period. This decision was made
after the steeplechase, which was won
by Full of Fun. ridden by Mcclure. The
jockey was not punished because he won,
but because he had failed to ride ener
getically in his previous races.
Full of Fun was full of running yes
terday, whereas in his previous races he
had been full of sleep. Under the stimu-
lating influence of heavy support by the
stable. Full of Fun was as spry as
young lamb and took the jumps with
the grace of a gazelle. He was a marvel
way over every obstacle in the two-mile
course. In the dash home on the flat
he ran much further than his opponents.
but even this loss did not injure his
by two lengths.
Full of Fun's Serious Joke.
Full of Fun was considered too much
of jolly enigma for racing in the south,
so the stewards investigated the horses
running in his previous races. They dis
covered that Mcclure had ridden like
mollycoddle in his previous efforts. AS
that showing did not compare with the
Jockeys strenuous effort today, he was
told not to make future engagements
until his case was still further investi-
gated.
Jockey Sobel caused a ripple of excite
ment by a sensational fall. He had the
mount on Aules. the - to favorite in
the cross-country event. When that horse
bungied the first jump and stumbled over
1t Sobel lost his seat. He made two
somersaults and rolled along the ground.
At first the men who went to his rescue
thought he had been killed, but under
treatment Sobel regained consciousness.
When examined by the track physicians
1t was found that his collarbone was
fractured. He was removed to the City
Hospital.
Outside of these, two incidents The rae
ing was rather commonplace. Glorifer.
the hero of the Carter and Metropolitan
handicaps last summer, made his first
appearance since his brilliant victory in
the latter race, and won the fourth
event In romp. He had all his old-time
speed and seemingly without the slight
est trouble beat his opponents under a
choking pull
Glorifier in Form Again.
The distance of the race was only six
furlongs. but as Glorifier pulled up per-
fectly sound and not in the slightest de-
gree distressed it was evident to all the
horsemen who viewed his easy victory
that he was the same high-class horse of
last winter. He ran the six furlongs in
114-fast time considering that he was
not extended.
The eastern horsemen cashed big bets
on Shone and Juggler, the winners re-
spectively, of the first and fifth races
Shone won the baby race at odds of
5 to I, backed down from to l. He
proved that he had learned his lesson well
