CHICAGO. June "a killing was
made on Poseur in the first race at Har-
lem today, and ii was so good that the
stewards have taken hand and her
owners have been suspended pending an
investigation. Poseur's conduct has been
too contrary to suit the officials of the
Harlem track. who have a strong sus-
picion that she has not been doing her
best for a while back.
She was entered in the first race, six
furlongs along with Alma Dnfour, The
Forum, Miss Manners and several others,
who, according to records, We're entitled
to defeat Poseur or give her hard run
for the money. Alma Dufour has been
with regularity for weeks past and was
the favorite today at IL to 5.
Poseur's last two races We're rather
sad affairs in which she was placed
among scrub horses, and in both she was
deciSively beaten. Today, with los pounds
up, she didn't look better than 8 to 1 at
any time even after quite a wad of cur
rency had been entered against her name.
Her complete reversal of form when
she galloped in an easy winner, with
Alma Dufour second. staggered the book
public. while certain of the sagacious
ones cashed in big tickets.
The stewards immediately made a pre-
liminary- investigate with the result that
j. Gray & Co. were suspended together
with Martin Foster, fctheir trainer, and
all horses running under the name of the
firm, until the stewards probe deeper
into PoSeur's past performances.
The affair made a decided impression
in the ring and there was a noticeable
falling off Of bets for the remaining races.
The public felt that one good thing
had been brought off during the after
noon, and that it was an excellent OPP
portunity to go slow and escape any
thing else. The suspicion of the public
was, in a sense, we'll 9founded, for but
one favorite won, the other events going
to three second choices and two outsiders.
The track was somewhat better and the
weather clear and cool, Summary:
