JOCKEY COOK IS SET DOWN FOR LIFE
FOR GOADING HORSE WITH NAIL
Slip of a Boy Says He Used
Trick at Washington Park
and Didn't Know It Was
Wrong.

What might have developed into a
brilliant turf career was cut off Thurs
day at the race track wher the Stew
ards barred little Jaw Cook from the
Juarez course Cor Ire because OF a
trick he used in ne second race when
he was up on Anona, running third in
the event.
When the horse scored back to the
judges stand, blood was streaming
from the horses neck on the right side.
Examination showed that a sharp nail
had been fastened in the end of the
Jockeys whip and instead Of whipping
his mount on the stretch, Cook had
prodded the animal with this nail after
the fashion of bull fighter torturing q
bull. When questioned about the mat
ter, little Cook told the stewards that
ne had used the trick all season at
Washington Park and did not know It
was wrong.
Suspend Trainer and Wallets.
The stewards Immediately went into
conference and decided to rule everyone
connected with the affair from the
track. Entries from the CloSson Bros
stable were refused and c. Pyle trainer,
W. Young and d. Powell, Wallets, we're
indefinitely suspended.
Cook. the Jockey, who was set down
over 16 and no bigger than lad in the
third grade at school He was not rid
ing for the Closson stable but was at
tached to the S. n. Holman stable, being
a protege Of Holman and has fire.
Quently ridden The Thorn Cook was
quite a favorite at Washington Park
last winter where he rode his appren-
tice races. He is a bright eyed little
chap and his misfortune may be the
ma l-in Of Ia <o1I I,fC
reer on the track is now ended since
an expulsion from one track practically
means all the tracks in the country The
Closson- string includes Anona, Oroba
and StraightIine.
Souvenir day Thursday was not a
success, as the weather was too cold TO
permit anyone to watch the races with
any degree of comfort
