Hold September Meet

Domingo Ferreira was pcrma uently
disqualified as a jockey, at a MEETING
of the directors OF the Hawaii Polo and
Racing Club held yesterday morning,
for foul committed on the track in the
Saturday races, and another Jockey. a
Korean named Kuni, was suspended
for year. The directors also took
action to prepare for another meet on
Labor Day, September |, and they dis.
cussed the matter of gambling at the
race track in manner that left NO
doubt as to their intentions to see that
1t is not revived to the detriment Of
the racing game. If the local detective
force was well on the job at the race,
on Saturday and Monday, so was the
jockey club, and things were very close
ly watched in the grnndstand and on
the grounds, with q view to seeing that
the game was not "queered" by q
betting element.
Gambling Is Condemned
AS far as the gambling proposition
is concerned, the directors were unanim.
Gus in their opinion that the club should
continue a strong attitude against race
track betting, and expressed disapprov,
al of any betting that was done. Even
IL the local detective force had MOI
kept very close watch on things, the
club would have had a pretty good
idea of what went on, for, as already
stated, it had its own watch on the sit.
uation. DO. -.
1.-THE directors of the club are unan
imous," said one of them YESTERDAY
'in the view that there must be nj
open race track gambling at their
meets. 1t is of course impossible to
stop all private betting, but we VIII
not have any pool making or open bet
ting at the track. That is what spoiled
racing here years ago. We are going
to have another meet In September, and
it will be run as this one was for sport
alone"
Three Police Court Gases ,,sa
Three defendants were called In the
police court yesterday morning charged
with betting at the track. One of them
Charlie All Chuck, forfeited his twenty
five dollars bail. L. Hamburg pleaded
guilty, saying that he had merely made
friendly bet.''. His arrest was due
to the fact that detectives saw the
money pass. AS matter Of fact nearly
all the detective force of Honolulu wa,
on the spot during the'races. HAMBURG
WIS fined five dollars, by Judge Mon
Sarrnt. Robert HolbrOn pleaded not
guilty, but after hearing the evidence
the judge fined him five dollars. &!
Ruling Oh Jockeys <.t, 49, J.
Ferriera, who was permanently ruled
off as a jockey, has been in the racinc
game here for long time, and has hac
trouble before. His violation of rulel
was reported by one Of the patrol judR
es. 1t consisted in fouling of ,Ypres
during the half-mile free.fOr-all. Fer
reira, according to the charge sustained
by the jockey club directors, cut di
rectly in front of Ypres, causing the
latter to lose her stride and drop out
Of the race. The directors decided that
the fouling was Intentional, and they
ruled that Ferreira should not be al
lowed to appear at any future meet
either as Jockey or trainer.
Another jockey disciplined was !
Korean named Kuni. His offense wa,
'nsOlrnt conduct towards Clerk of the
Scales Won Tempsky. When instructed
to weigh in he refused to do 80, and
his language towards the clerk is hello
to have been insulting. The directors
Of the club decided to rule him out OF
the game for one year.
Big September Meet
The success of the racing meet Just
held, both from a social and a sporting
point Of view, led to plans for another
in September. The crowd was beyond
expectations, and the events were pull
ed off in a manner that left little to bs
desired. AS il was evident that there
is enough interest in the sport to war
rant another meet, the club will lose nc
time in preparing for it, and September
| will probably witness an even better
program of races than the one just car
ricd out. , ~
