BOOKMAkER AND JOCKEY
GRAND ARE FIRED
SUSPICIOUS Rides Cause Santa Anita
Officials to Take Action-Shouid
Investigate Some of
the others
BY IRVING b. CLEMENT

Judge Hamilton yesterday HANDED
down a ruling whereby Jockey Grand
is suspended indefinitely and Book
maker Ben Berck has been warned
away from the race course at santa
Anita park
The result of the ruling was a thor
ough investigation of the race NICK
Stoner ran January s, when he was
away badly and finished fourth. The
other race was the last time Sly Sen
ran. on January 90 and made poor
showing after winning a good race
few days previous.
The Judges have had Ben Berck and
his operations under their surveillance
for some time and called in his sheets
and found that he laid against Sly Ben
and Nick Stoner when they were
beaten and held out Sly Ben when ne
won. This was enough to convince the
officials and they tied the can to Berck
and suspended Jockey Grand. Not
much has been lost by either one OF
them being put out of operation. as
the latter was poor rider ana BercR
a. pest wherever he was seen.
The action is this case is laudaple
and it may be to advantage to the
race-going public if Judge Hamilton
would investigate some more queer
races, especially those run by horses
belonging to bookmaker owners.
