STEWARDS NOTICE
Disqualify One Horse, Fine
One Jockey and Warn An
other at Jamaica Course.
ONE FAvORITE GETS HOME

An afternoon o. iniquities and short
comlngs OF Jockeys kept spectators wall
ing and the stewards busy at the ia
malca racetrack yesterday. Those Of
fences which merited official action
caused the disqualification OF Dune Site
for a humping finish by Heustls in the
second race, the filming Of Buxton for
rough riding on TOP o. TIL Morning in
the third and per contra n solemn warn
ing handed out to Joe Byrne for fall
ing TO get the best he could out OF
his mount, Blu Thistle, in the fourth.
with such contributing elements II
was no wonder that public form went
astray and only one favorite was re-
turned a winner. Racegoers. however,
congratulated themselves on the fact
that the officials had AT last awakened
To the frailities of the riders and look
forward to an Improvement In condi-
tlons hereafter.
\ redeemlng feature OF the sport was
the dual win scored by James Butler
with High Noon and Miss Puzzle. This
owner has had more than his share OF
III racing luck and the general feeling
was that he was entitled to the break
which allowed High Noon to score an
easy victory In the Illinois Handicap
for three-years-olds. The success OF
High Noon meant the defeat of "A pub
lie idol in Schuyler l.. Parsons's Phos-
phor, but even IL he had not been in
terfered with IL Is doubtful II Phosphor
could have outfooted the winner In the
short dash of Ave and one-half %furlongs.
Everything broke just right for High
Noon. as he was in motion when the
barrier went up while the others were
fiatfooted. Phosphor. on the inside OF
the Butler candidate. made up ground
rapidly, and II looked as though he
might regain his position on the rail

Thosphor was Knocked back and the
other pair raced round the turn with
High Noon "A neck 10 the good. Then
Jockey Borcl on High Noon showed his
craft, but so artistIcally that he es-
capped the notice Of the stewards which
Was accorded t. other offenders. In
making the stretch turn Borel bore out
with High Noon and carried Top ~ TIL
Morning with him. Just as IL looked
as though the wide turn would give
enough advantage to Phosphor for him
TO win Rorcl straiGhtened High Noon
and he shot straight as an arrow toward
the Judges. where he was o u lengths
in front OF Top o. Tn Morning. Phos-
phor never recovered from his early set
back and was beaten three lengths
for the place.
