The action Of the Racing Board OF the L. A.
W. In imposing a fine OF $50 on W. K. Becker,
the professional rider. for assaulting Major"
Taylor at Taunton last week. Is considered .
very mild reprimand. Becker, when called
upon to explain tho assault, submitted q state
mcnt that Taylor deliberately fouled him on
coming into the homestrotch. This excuse the
board accepted, but, believing that the Ms
snult was unwarrantod, decided TO fine
Becker for his puRilistic display. Tho
latter was suspended on Saturday. and
notified that until ho paid up ho would
be debarred from riding on L. A. w. tracks,
Becker settled at Trenton on Monday, and 10 &C.
cordingly again in good racing standing. Tho
Racing Board was severely criticised yesterday
by riders and riding patrons for imposing such
a light penalty upon Becker. 1t 10 a well-known
fact that intense rivalry exists among the lead
ing professional riders, and some Of the men, 1t
Is believed, would gladly sacrifice $50 in order
to get in q chance blow at some rival.
