A nice little cleanup had been planned
by somebody yesterday at the races, andas
usual the attempt was made on one of the
heats of a harness race. The game did
not work. however. because the judges de-
tected something suspicious In the way the
heat had been trotted, promptly fined the
driver $50 for laying up heats and dechred
all bets off. J. Sullivan was the driver to
suffer and Sable Frances was the animal
programmed to do the work. The alleged
job took place In the fourth heat of the
opening race of the day, the 2:17 class trot
The first heat was captured by Lou and
no apparent attempt was made to win with
Sable Frances. The next two heats were
taken by Iran Alto, and In one Of these
Sable Frances was nearly shut out. Sulli-
van claimed that his horse had broken on
account Of being frightened at the shadow
Of the starting gate on the opposite side
Of the track. This was removed, but the
horse broke the next heat also and finished
no better than fourth.
The fourth heat came, and Sable Frances
opened in the betting to l. Suddenly a
few betters swooped down on this price and
money began to pour In on the brown mare
The bookmakers, who always are timid
In this city, became alarmed, and the price
had been cut to even money at post time
Sable Frances, although given about
length the worst of the start. went ahead
and took the lead. with Iran Alto and Ma
bel Mckinney as contenders. To those
watching the race II seemed as II the driv-
ers of the other horses were apparently not
trying to pass Sable Frances. for the horse
swung into the stretch several lengths in
the lead Of Iran Alto and won by about
two lengths and half. Mabel Mckinney
being third. When the time was posted
as 2:1Sis, the suspicious Of the Judges were
further corroborated. as the mile had been
covered In a second lower than the pre-
vious heat. After consultation Sullivan
was fined $50 and the heat was declared no
race. The next heat was taken easily by
Iran Alto in 2:17N. Just one and a quarter
thrown out
Jockey Ruiz also got into disrepute and
was given an enforced vacation. which will
last during the present meet and probably
longer. In the second running race he had
the mount on Castelar,. HIS animal was
gotten of in third place. and at the half
was second by three lengths, but the boy
allowed Smyle to pass him. and at the
three-quarters fell back to fourth position,
the race being won by La Moroma. the
Baldwin stable entry. The judges did not
like the ride Ruiz made on Castelar,, be-
cause only the day previous he had ridden
Castelar,, who finished second to Celoso
In good time. being beaten out by about
length Ruis was accordingly suspended
indefinitely. and Mr. Brooks said he would
not In future allow the boy to ride at any
meets where he may be presiding as Judge.

to have broken tendon in his left foreles.
