1t is stated that the mail vote on the
charges against Charles M. Murphy, L.
D.. Caban1e and Fred J.. Titus, is in the
hands of Chairman Gideon, of the L. A.
W. Racing Board and that, by a vote
Of three ITO two, the men lave been
found guilty. If SO they are likely to be
suspended from all track racing for a
long time. Regarding the punishment
ofIthe men Chairman Gideon says it
will be Suspension, but for how long a
period he will not state until the proper
time comes. Tt will probably be for a
year. The men cannot be put into the
professional class, as the League con-

of crooked riding cannot start in any
