Miller's Rough Riding Costs
Him Fine Of $3.50

Jockeys who have been resorting to
questionable tactics in their overanNi-
ETY. to win races at the Emeryville
track are likely to think twice from
now or before indulging in rough rid
ing and similar expedients to bring
about the defeat of dangerous contend
ers. Presiding Judge sHopper and his
associates. emulating the good example
set by the officials at Arcadia, imposed
a fine of>$25O on Jockey Walter Miller
In consequence of the manner in which
he deliberately impeded PajarOita dur
ing the stretch run of the race which
he wen on Smiley Corbett
This is the heaviest fine imposed upon
Jockey hereabOutS in many years. and
lis imposition ought TO have a salutary
erect Upon other boys prone to indulge
In similar tactics.
For the reason that Miller is under
contract to President Williams of the
Jockey club, the example will undoubt-
edly be even more effective than IL
some less we'll connected and prominent
rider Were involved Miller had upon
several previous occasions reSorted to
the tactics that he employed so success
fully in the Pajaroita case. and seem
ingly paid no heed to the warning of
Judge Hopper that patience had ceased
to be virtue and that a repetition OF
the offense would bring severe punish
ment- 1t was only day or two ago
from Judge Hopper
The officials have made up their
minds that rough and foul riding must
cease at EmeryVille and Jockeys who
persist in violating the rules of racing
in these respects will be shown no
mercy.
1t was reported at the track yester-
day that Jockey Joe Notter. another
high salaried rider. who has just begun
California engagement, incurred the
displeasure of the judges by the man
ner ir which he crowded Eyebright
while riding Light Wool on the day of
his local debut. and that he had been
given to understand that he would be
severely dealt with if~the offense were
repeated. The attitude of the officials
in this matter will afford unbounded
qualification to the race going public at
large, as well as to owners of horses
and everybody else connected with the
sport 1t affords additional evidence of
the sincerity of the management of the
jockey club IN it's effort to have clean
sport of a high standard

he sojourned in Modoc county He

In Merced he was known as J. A.
Rogers and D. C. Patterson, posing
awhile as mining engineer sometimes

impersonating an army officer that the
