the close of the first half of the National
Basketball League schedule. They have

The reason why the soldiers goaled so
heavily in the last game with the W. A.

NEW TURF SCANDALS.
New Orleans officials Are Quick to

THE turf scandal championship belongs

considerable of both.
Hardly week passes that something
in the way of a sensation is not brought
to light, and this something is not always
the usual knock heard in the paddock cor
ners, but is official. Outside of what
emanates from the judges stand are all
kinds of tales that are on the daily talk
order. and not always from the grumbers,
either. That some horses act queerly, go
to the post under circumstances that are
suspicious, and run as If possessed is not
a guess.
Since the first of tine year the racing
officials have been buster than judge
on Il circuit. And Captain Rees is not the
man to shirk a disagreeable task.
Following are some OF the rulings that
have been made since the first of the
year indicating the strenuous life led by
the judges:
January 27-Jockey Harshberger sus-
pended pending investiga tion for an in
different ride on Earnest Parham.

careless riding that cost the public dear

under suspicion for the running OF Judge
Steadman. and Jockey Mccain is suspend
ed for his work on the horse pending in
vestigation.
January 29-Ben Frost runs away
while at the post. His actions are so
peculiar that judges decided to refuse his
entry in the future.
January 30-Jockry McCann's suspen-
sion is made indefinite, and Nose Gold
blatt is notified that his horses must run

Wilson, who once handled Kid Carter,

to New York yesterday as soon as it was
announced that Fi.zsmmons had accepted
JeiTries' terms. This is an extravagant
offer, as it leaves the club only 20 per

any money. Lyons is an old friend of

will do what he can to throw the match

other than Noah's ark. According to the
statement of the Indians, the craft must
be fully 100 feet long and lies on a high
hill several thousand feet above the sea
level. The location of the relic Is not pro-
hibitively difficult Of access, and steps are
already being taken to investigate the
stories. Whatever faith the explorers may
have in the ark theory. the discovery Of a
vessel of the size described, old enough to
have become petrified. at the indicated
height above the sea, would be an archaic
illogical event of first Importance. Several
well-established doctrines regarding the
distribution of the worlds population would
