Jockey Robinson for
Violating Rules and Bar
Eddie Delling.
BY HENRY v. KING.

Inc LuTl duLfiOFllleS ulu IL little iiiOi e
house cleaning yesterday. The stewards
of the Aqueduct meeting suspended
Jockey Clifford Robinson ana referred
his case to the stewards of the Jockey
Club and ruled off q man named Eddie
Delling. These suspensions, following
the revocation OF the licenses OF Buddy
Ensor. Arthur Collins and A. Yeargin
earlier in the week, caused quite a stir
in turf circles yesterday afternoon. and
reports fioated all over the Aqueduct
track that one of the best riders in the
trouble with the authorities following
a scandal at Saratoga several years ago
soon would be barred from all tracks in
the country.
Robinson's suspension came as n sur
prise. Last season he was considered
one OF the best riders in the country.
but this season he lost host of friends
because of his poor horsemanship. Few
racegoers believed he was violating any
OF the rules Of the Jockey Club. They
branded him as a poor and timid rider
and never accused him of anything bor-
dering on croolSedness.
Even the stewards didn't suspect him
OF violating any of the rules. but while
their detectives were working on another
case they said they caught Robinson and
Delling violating rules 213 and 214.
Rule No. 70 says mo Jockey shall bet
on any race except through the owner OF
and on the horse which he rides, and any
jockey which shall be proved to the sat
lsfaction of the stewards TO have any
tnfarAsf N
been engaged in any betting transaction
or to have received presents from per-
sons other than the owner shall have his
license revoked"
Rule No. 2i4 reads: "Any person
knowingly acting in the capacity of part
owner or trainer of any horse in which
q Jockey possesses any interest or maxi
ing bet with or in behalf OF any Jockey
except as provided in rule 312 shall no
suspended and his case referred to the
stewards OF the Jockey Club for such
further action as they may deem neces-
sary."
The detectives reported to the stew
ards that they saw Delling hand Robin
son large sum OF money. Robinson
denied this and said that he received
only 81 from Delling, and that he had
borrowed that for a few minutes be-
cause he had no change.
Immediately after the Aqueduct stew
ards handed down their decision against
Robinson and Delling the stewards of
the Jamaica meeting. which begins this
afternoon, met and announced that they.
100, had suspended Robinson pending
action by the Jockey Club. They also
declared that admission to the Jamaica
track would be denied TO Delling.
The racing at Aqueduct was held dur
ing the worst rainstorm Of the year.
while the horses were running there
was veritable cloudburst, which turned
the track into a sea of mud Around
the turns of the track the water and
mud was foot deep. AS a result only
first rate mudiarks won. There were
many Withdrawals and the fields were
small
The feature was the Stonybrook
selling stakes at one mile. Eight high
class platers had been entered for the
event but only three of them ventured
forth TO do battle over the muddy track.
They were Edwina, Regal Lodge and
Crystal Ford.
Edwina wes the favorite and ran
away with the race. She followed
Crystal Ford until a furlong from
home. Then she went to the front and
won easily by two lengths. Crystal
Ford was second and Regal Lodge third
Max Hirsch uncovered u shifty young
mudlarls in q colt named Zovian in
the third race. He is by Zeus and Ed
ma Collins. He ran at Saratoga against
some high class youngsters and showed
traces Of speed. Yesterday he was op-
posing a cheap lot of youngsters and
merely galloped to beat them home by
three lengths, Vendor was second.
w. M. Wallace showed what might
turn out to be n really high class colt
in the last race. He is Horologe by
st. Amant and Hour Hand. He can
run, likes the mud and looks as IL he
will go on and cover a distance of
ground. He took command soon after
the barrier went up and never left the
result in doubt. At the end he was
