County Clerks Reversal to
Be Investigated

AS result of County Clerks 1agrant
reversal of form yesterday. Jockey
Kirschbaum who rode the horse when
he made dismal showing as favorite
upon the occasion of his previous start
on Thanksgiving day. is likely to find
himself in serious trouble. 1t is known
that Judge Hopper and his associates
in the management of the Emeryville
meeting have been dissatisfied with
kirschbaum's performances in the sad
die of late and have been keeping close
tab on the subsequent performances
of numerous horses on which he has
recently made a poor showing. No
action was taken in the County Clerk
case yesterday, and no official state
ment was made concerning it, but it is
learned that the stewards of the jockey
club will take up the matter at their
session today. Kirschbaum's handling
of County Clerk on Thanksgiving day
aroused considerable pointed comment
at the time. The two performances
of the horse so irreconcilab1e, were
over tracks virtually alike, so far as
the going is concerned.
