Another Turf Scandal Has Showed UP in
O, the East.
New York October 1O.-Thc killing made
by Richard Croker. Frank Farrell. Senator
Tim Sullivan and other Tammany politi-
clans on Darlington in the last race at
Gravesend is still the subject of much COM
ment In turf circles, some Of the talk not
being complimentary. Jockey club officials,
Of course, say they have no knowledge or
any killing The amount of money won by
the Croker coterie was probably less than
SlCC, eco, but several bookmakers maintain
1t was not far from that figure.
Unfavorablc comment on the affair arises
from the fact that Frank Farrell, who
owns OHagen. the favorite In the race,
is said to be the man who gave Croker the
tip on Darlington. The mere fact That
Dave Gideon, Caringtons owner, Farrell
and Croker were In conversation Just be-
fore the race may or may not have meant
anything SO far as betting plans were con
cerned, hut there Is always certain mum.
her of turf critics who see indications or
a coup.
There were thousands who bet on
OHagen to win the race, and the fact
that he finished outside the money and
that Darlington won after the owners Of
the two horses had conferred with Croker,
Is of course bound to cause talk.
OF course the people who bet on the
races are only suckers after all, and
have no particular rights that anybody Is
bound to respect.
