hoofs struck and crushed the bone just
below the hip, while the other landed Just
below the knee.
II was a CHASTITY sight when the animal
struck the lad and caused men as we'll
as women In the clubhouse to murmur.
Hes killed. and turn away. And
their remark vas justified for as the
horse jumped on the lad. Chandler
crumpied up and fell back as though he
were dead. Or. John A. Voorhees,. the
track physician. hurried to his side and
after administering "nrst aid" rushed
him to the Jamaica hospital.

second obstacle on the backstretch and
sent the Jockey hurting through the
air head first to the turf.

and stamped on Chandler Cred Legs
