drastic action In the Of Combs. the jockey.
who had the mount on Wax Taper on Tuesday I'm
the race In which Margraviate was so heavily
thrown and Shaw got such severe tumble On
Shaw's complaint the day Of the race that Wax
Tnper haa fouied his mount Wax Taper was dis
qualified and Combs set down for six days.
Yesterday however. the stewards decided that their
nrst penaItv was not severe enough and they voted
90 suspend Combs for the rest Of the meeting and
20 refer his the stewards OF the Jockey Club
for further action. This step was rs far as the
stewards OF the meeting could so. and many turf
men are Of Ire opinion that the Jockey club stew
ards may Danish the offending Jockey from all the
tracks under their jurisdiction.
Co.nhs's case Is aggravated by the fact that not
only was he accused of fouling Margraviate, but
that he also rode had looking race on WAX
Taper who was the favorlte. II IS. Of course,
quite within the bounds of possibility that the
ride was stapid and not crooked, but Wax Taper
was fun of running. and could have won had ne
been allowed his head in time.
Another decision Of the stewards with reference

she race meeting officials determined 10 take
cognizance Of foul riding and 10 punish the Of
TENDERS as they should be punished. This race
