RULED OFF FOR LIFE
FOR ATTEMPTING
BRIBERY
Frank GOSSeft and Guy Mack
Punished on Information
Given by Jockey Sandy

The stewards of the New California
jockey club announced yesterday that
Boobmaker Frank Gossett and Guy
Mack. brother of Harry Mack. owner Of
a racing string in training at Emery
vile, had been ruled off the turf for
life for attempting to bribe Jockey
Tommy Sandy to pull a horse which
he was booked TO ride in a race at the
Emeryville track last May. At the
same time it was announced that Jockey
Sandy who was suspended at Seattle
last summer on account of a series of
poor rides, had been restored to good
standing. with a recommendation that
his riding license be renewed by the
Pacific jockey club Sandy can ride at
105 and expects TO resume his inter
rupted saddle career at once.
A ruling was also handed down by
which Claude Williams, a stable hand
employed about the track, will here
after be denied the privileges of the
course for having approached Jockey
J. J. Carroll, who rides for Joe Stern,
with an improper proposition.
The officials declined to give out any
details concerning Gossett and Macks
alleged attempt TO corrupt Sandy. for
the reason that there may be further
developments in the case and publicity
might prevent the bringing of other
suspected offenders to justice. 1t is
learned, however, that Sandy gave the
officials the information on which the
ruling was based and that he main
tanned his innocence of any wrong do
ing in connection with the matter. The
officials believe that he told the truth
when he asserted that he had refused
TO entertain the proposal which Mack
is alleged TO have made TO him with the
promise of alluring financial reward.
At the time he was riding under the
management of Harry Mack, who is in
no way implicated in the scandal.
Sandy rode poorly during the latter
part of last season and showed no i'm
proVement at Seattle, where he was
under the management of Trainer Gov
ington of the Sobre Vista stable. There
had been a great deal of criticism of
Sandy's riding both here and at Seattle,
and the officials determined to keep him
on the ground until thoroughly satisfied
that they were at the bottom of his
case. 1t was only recently that Sandy
came through with his information.
Gossett has made book at Emery
vile for various parties in recent sea-
sons. but is not generally regarded as
especially prominent. His most recent
employer was Harry StoYer. for whom
he ran a book through several cutins
at the present meeting.

Rawhide Makes More Noise
for a Big Fight

The town of Rawhide, New. is not to
be denied when there is any bidding for
the services of great prize fighters. In
the past this town generally swung in
with an offer for ring stars, though it
never landed a match, but today it is
the same old story with the sage brush
ers. Last night they burned the wires
to this city announcing that they would
give S150,000 for Johnson and Jeffries
on railroad day, next September.
All these fat offers are coming in so
fast now that the general public is
beginning to, tire of them, but there
are some people who still believe that
possibly one of them might possibly
turn out to be on the square. But the
Rawhide proposition is seriously
doubted for the reason that this same
town offered TO match Britt and Cans
last year for a purse of $4,000, but
when the showdown time came they
were not there.
Rawhide is a booming mining town
and it's leading citizens probably be-
lieve that the place must get as much
free advertising as can possibly be had
Johnson and Jeffries offer a good op-
portunity. so the boys are on the lob.
though Seattle has already gone them
one better, hanging up purse of $780,
600.

Gleason Takes Joe Carney
Under His Charge

Joe Carney, the Oakland billiard
player, handily defeated Sam Lazarus
of Chicago in the third and final game
of their three cushion match at The
Hague last night, the score at the fin
ish being 200 to 1853.
At the conclusion of the match Pro
moter Jack Gleason announced THAI he
had made arrangements to take Carney
east and back him against all comers
in the cushion game. Gleason believes
that the Oakland man can beat the best
Oh them, and he says he has plenty of
backing for the player.
Carney played his usual steady, plod-
ding game last night, scoring 20 points
to 81 by Lazarus. The latter played a
brilliant game. but was erratic at times
and also suffered from hard luck. Car
neys average for the three games was
64;0S, while his opponent averaged
o4:OS. Lazarus made the high run OF
the night, scoring 5, while 3 was the
best Carney did

PAT FLAHERTY MAY

Big Lacquer Likely to Leave
Boston Nationals for the
Stockton Team

Pat Flaherty. one of the mainstays
of the pitching staff of the Boston
team of the National league, is likely
he does not hear from the manage
ment of the Boston club. Flaherty
came west to make the trip to the
orient with Reach's All American team
but since the players returned home
Flaherty has not received his contract
or heard whether Boston wants him
back.
Cy Moreing has been after the big
Lacquer and would give him a berth
with his club, and Flaherty announced
to his friends that he would play out
law ball in preference to going TO a
minor league club. Flaherty likes the
west, and it is more than possible that
the big Lacquer will don a Stockton
uniform this season. Flaherty will re-
main here few days and then visit
friends in Los Angeles.
Charley Comiskey yesterday notified
Danny Long that he would turn over
Ike Cooper to him for the season.
Cooper is a conner, and he was one of
the leading pitchers with the Dallas
club. His record for the season was
an admirable one, he having annexed
more than 20 per cent of the games that
he twirled
