Jockey DOg8eu Suspended Tor the
Rest of the Meeting.
While there was small attendance at
the Benning track yesterday, the fifth
day of the third spring meeting Of the
Washington Jockey Club, the day turned
out to be the most eventful one of the
meeting. In the second race, Tappan, rid
den by Sam Doggett, beat Charantus a
head, after humping him about all the way
down the stretch. Inconsistency, the other
starter, was fifteen lengths behind. Coylie.
the rider Of Charantus, promptly claimed a
foul against the winner, and it was as
promptly sustained by the stewards, Tap
pan being disqualified Jimmy McLaugh-
lin, the trainer of Charantus, was met by
Doggett in the paddock shortly after the
race, and was accused by DoSgett of direct
ing Coylie to claim foul. Some words
passed, when. as Mclaughlin was walking
away, Doggett struck him savage blow
in the eye. badly disfiguring him
Policeman $3.50, who witnessed the assault,
arrested Doggett, but released him few
minutes later, because, as the policeman
explained, McLaughlin did not desire Dog
gett prosecuted. The stewards, however,
took cosnzance of the assault and of the
foul riding, and fined Doggett 500. They
also suspended him for the rest of the
meeting. and sent his case on to the Jockey
Club for further action.
The track was a sea of mud, and slow,
but the racing was good. there being three
close finishes. But one favorite. Ortoland.

OF the best and most exciting games of the
season last night in the gymnasium of the

large attendance, and the excitement was
intense. both scores being made within six
minutes after play began. The CAROLS are
the Corcorans. the Corcorans having played
one more than they have. The playing of
these teams the rest of the season will be
watched with much interest, as the loss of
