papers print Fong Chings Chins plea in English The general claim is that the China ¬ man got too bold and foil through instructing Chevalier and Chorn Horn to pull good horses to bad ones Ho is also said to have bet 6000 on Sea Spray who won the race that wrecked him Petes Peters literary defence defense is a keen one He writes I deny that I entered into collusion with any jockey to bring about false racing results Bookmaking testimony will support me It has been stated that Jockeys Chorn Horn Chevalier and Hinrichs Hirsch were tho thou boys with whom I had done business and that when Chorn Horn was riding a winner I invariably bet on him and when he rode a loser I bet against him and that this state of things had existed for four or fiue fie weeks past Now in contradiction of this I wish to state that some of the heaviest losings closings I have made and the bookmakers sheets will boar out what I say tmy tummy tickets all being bought on credit were lost on horses which were beaten out by horses ridden by the abovenamed above boys If your reporters will interview bookmakers on the following races they will find proof of what I state March 9 I bet 600 or 700 on Thelma Helm ridden by Chevalier who put up a poor ride and was set down for it itMarch Hitachi March 5th 1 bet 700 or 800 on Basso who was beaten a head by Collins with Chevalier up Did this look as if Chevalier was controlled by me meFebruary February 28th I bet 500 on Palomacita Palma and 400 on Road Warmer Palomacita Palma wasbeaten arsenate one length by Crawford with Chorn Horn up Did this look as if Chorn Horn was controlled by me meTho method Tho Theo day before I bet 1000 on Babe Murphy who was beaten onehalf Neal a length by Derfar Defer gilla gila with Chorn Horn up upI I might give numerous other instances where those boys mounts have beaten horses I bet on all of which can be proved by the book ¬ makers sheets I can only account for Jockey Hiurichss Churches statement by believing that it was made in a spii spirit it of revenge He visited me some time ago and wished me to assist in getting him a license to ride at Ingloside Igloos and also wished me to loan him 2UO to remove an attachment on his horses This I refused to do At that time Hinrichs Hirsch blamed Mr Schreiber for preventing his license being issued and declared his intention of get ¬ ting even evenNow even Now I want to say that every horse I have bet any great amount of money on in the past six weeks has been the first or second choice of the American handicapper regardless of who rode him and the proof of this is in the book ¬ makers sheets Does that look as if I was bet ¬ ting on or against certain jockeys mounts mountsOne moonstone One evening paper states that I had a swell bet on Collins against Hidalgo and gave Chorn Horn 800 of it This was tho thou only race that day upon which I did not bet one dollar as I liked Hil Phil dalgo Dagon but thought the odds too short In re ¬ gards guards to tho thou visits of horsemen and jockeys to my place I wish to state that I have given small amounts of money to jockeys trainers and horse ¬ men who have given me tips on winning horses and owing to this fact a number of them have called at my place and asked for small loans Since Chinese New Year a number of boy from the track have called at my invitation and wore entertained at the Chinese theatre in which I hold an interest interestAs interests As for the amount of money I have won there is not a bookmaker on the track except E M Gaines and Eckert Becker but has some of my money and these two have lost very Jittle Jitter to me and to bo ruled off the track is a benefit to mo finan finn ¬ cially calmly FONG CHING CHIN LITTLE PETE The Frisco papers think that Chevalier used j the electric belt or saddle on some of his long shot wins They also credit Dow Williams as the general middleman between the jockeys and Pete Hoinrichs Hominids admits that he pulled hordes and names Ike Ikea L in the Sea Spray race A woman by the name of Belle Archer profited as richly by tho thou conspiracy as Pete There is a great monument to Barney Schreiberss Schreiber integrity in the record that nearly all the 70000 he was at one time behind in his California business was lost on tho thou races in which Chorn Horn did his work for tho thou confederacy j jFunny Funny Funny things turn up
