JOCKEY-BUMS IS BARRED DONALD MACDONALDS IMPROVED PERFORMANCE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RULING. Officials at Moncrief Park Also Had Other Grounds for Denying Rider Privilege of Accepting Mounts During Remainder of Jacksonville Meeting. Jacksonville, Fin., February 22. The Washington Handicap, at one mile and an eighth, carrying a value of ,500, was offered as the feature of a well-balauced card at Moncrief Park this afternoon. One of the best fields of handicap horses on the grounds went to the post and the race showed just how good a racer Donald Macdonald is at present. This sou of Sombrero-P.erriedale carried 125 pounds, overcame early interference and galloped home an easy winner in close, to track record time for the distance, the mile and an eighth being run in l:53g. Donald Macdonalds improvement resulted In jockey Guy Burns being denied the privilege of riding here during the remainder of .the meeting. Hums is riding here under the management of Albert Simons and his effort on the horse in his previous race did not apiear satisfactory in the opinion of the judges. Two other failures had been chalked up against Burns, one on Definite when he was favorite and iinished last in the race February 7. and another on Bagman. February 20, when the horse ran disappointingly. The otlicials did not accuse Burns of fraud in any of these races as the wording of the rnliug issued by them shows. The ruling was that "for generally unsatisfactory work, G. Burns has been denied the further privilege of riding here." This afternoon Judge Murphy sent for S. A. Clop-Ion and requested that another rider be substituted for Burns on Donald Macdonald. Miv Clopton was willing that any jockey be given the mount and Butwell was selected. The officials wished to see if the horse had trained off. as some claimed, and lils performance in the race certainly discredited that theory. In the opening race Burns had the mount on Albert Simons Margerum, .and when the. break came he cut across and interfered with most of the horses in the race. Burns thereby earned a suspension of two weeks for foul riding- and after Donald Macdonalds victory, it was thought to bo for the best interests of the turf if the lad be kept from further riding here. Three favorites and a well-backed second choice won. which helped the public to recoup some of the heavy losses they had experienced during the preceding days. J. W. May showed up another shifty two-year-old in the opening event in the well-bred Ursula Emma, by Broomstick Admittance, which beat the favorite, New Haven, by a length. Ozana made her appearance after a long letup and lieat a band of good sprinters in the third race, which she won easily from Alfred the Great. Obert, who had the mount on .Star Blue in this race, was suspended for two weeks for cutting across at the start.
