Turf authorities in this city are discussing a new
rule, which IL likely to be adopted by the California

is provided for by the rules IN the East. 1t is claimed
by some that there is n great deal Of equity In this.
inasmuch as when the foul occurs no other horse has
been affected except one OF the two In front.
