JOCKEY MAKES A MISTAKE MOLESWORTH COMES IN FOR SEVERE STRICN TURE AT JUAREZ TRACK Boy Eases Servile to Permit Winning of Feature FeatureRace Race of Day hy Stablemate and Knight KnightDeck Deck Beats Them Both El Paso Tex January 25 Servile with Moles worth up was leading his stable companion Orbic ¬ ular and four others by a winning margin in the final sixteenth of the mile feature at Terrazas Park today when Hearing the finish the boy duplicated his irregular tactics of a week ago and began eas ¬ ing his mount to allow Orbicular to pass him in the final strides Both of the Johnson Gray horses were caught napping and were headed right on tho post by Knight Deck on which jockey Shilling rode one of his whirlwind finishes finishesMolesworth Molesworth escaped reprimand last Tuesday when he eased Servile to permit Orbicular to win only be ¬ cause with both horses filling the premier positions wagers on them singly or combined were not af ¬ fected whichever finished first Today backers of the entry to win and Servile for place had a serious grievance for by the illegal practice of pulling one horse of an entry to alow the other one to win with ¬ out having made a declaration to that effect before the race they were mulcted out of their money It moneyIt is possible that Bedwells gelding would have won today in any event but certainly Servile had second place at his mercy The race itself was not truly run as there was much crowding and jostling throughout the running The struggle was not only unique as a spectacle but was a thriller throughout The whole quintet ran closely bunched through the stretch and the proverbial blanket would have cov ¬ ered them at the wire No exaggeration is involved in the claim that Shilling could probably have won on any one of the five
