had been a motorman. The relative
she had expected TO meet had died
while she was on the way to Pasadena.
Following this she told other stories

thing.
With the ruling Off Of Lawrence the
matter does not necessarily end. The
judges are of the opinion that Law
renee was the victim Of circumstances
and that he had fallen into the hands
of sharp and interruptions turf opera
tors.
Judge Hamilton said yesterday that
he intended to go deeper into the mat
ter. He is satisfied that some one has
been tampering with Lawrence and has
begun an investigation in the hope Of
locating the guilty parties.
II firmly believe that Lawrence has
fallen into bad hands and that his re
cent bad work was at the direction of
a gang of shrewd operators. When
matters of this kind come before me
make 1t a point to probe the affair
to the bottom. 1t Is not always the
Jockey who Is at fault, as he may ride

lous."

trainer of Nellie May, and his offense
consisted in running the mare with
shoes which were much too heavy for
her to make any great speed with.
Nellie May finished last in the second
race yesterday and as soon as they
were appraised Of the way the mare
was shod the judges called Tomlinson
to the stand and ruled him off the turf
for life.
Another sensation was sprung when
it was learned that Jockey Eugene
Hiidebrand would not be seen in ,ho
saddle again this season at Ascot.
Judge Hamiltons warning to the star
rider because of his foul riding, the
story of which appeared exclusively in
Wednesdays Herald, caused quite a
stir up. Joe Yeagers representatives
have made threats to remove the en-
tire stable from the local track and
with it take Jockey EIildebrand.

terday noon and will here meet julius
Kruttschnitt, director of maintenance
and operation of the Hartman lines,
who is expected to arrive in Los An

Mr.. Bancroft said last night Mr..
Kruttschnitt had left Chicago for the
west on a tour of inspection and their
meeting in Los Angeles had no other
significance than that he had come
as far south as Los Angeles to meet
Mr.. Kruttschnitt and accompany him
to San Francisco.
Mr.. Kruttshnitt was at Guayamas
last night and yesterday afternoon, and
Friday night will be at Yuma, where
he will be met by Division Superin-

RACE TRACK OFFICIALS TAKE
IMPORTANT ACTION
SUSPEND JOCKEY LAWRENCE
Eugene HiIdebrand May Never Ride
Here Again-Jucge Hamilton
Yields official Ak on Two
Trainers. Heads
BY Forest Lowry

When as many things of weight and
off at track as transpired at Ascot
yesterday the oldest turf patron in the
bunch is bound to sit up and take
notice. Things have been going from
bad to worse at the local race course
until a crisis was bound to occur and
the result of official rulings yesterday
affected many persons well known in
the game.
The sum total of the doings is that
Jockey Lawrence has been suspended
Indefinitely, Trainer f. Tomlinson is
ruled off for life and another trainer,
w. st. Vincent, is suspended until fur
ther notice.
Harry Stover owner of KenilWorth,
was also among those called to the
stand, but his explanation as to the
reversal of form shown by his horse
was entirely satisfactory to the judges.
Trainer st. Vincent's case is one that
is more fit for officers of the Society
for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
to handle than it is for the judges at
q reputable race course. st. Vincent
handles Tangible, horse which start
ed in the first race and which was
heavily played as favorite in the open
ing event of the afternoons sport. Some
time early Wednesday morning Tan

stall and caused an ugly cash to appear

be scratched st. Vincent allowed
Tangible to go to post with the sore
leg and the poor beast was sent over
the mile course on three legs, finishing
resolutely in third place. A ton of pub
lie money was burned up on the race,
as Tangible was heavily played at close
odds. Whether any bookmakers were
cognizant of the fact that Tangible was
in no shape to win is mere conjecture,
but the odds were posted as though the
horse was fit for the race of his life.
Jockey Lawrence Suspended
The exposures which have appeared
of late in The Herald did much to call
the attention of the Ascot officials to
some of the rides of Jockey Lawrence.
The boy has been the most consistent
rider performing at the local track this
year, as far as getting horses in the
money is concerned, but until the facts
came out in cold print TO the effect that
the jockey had not been closer up in
many of his races the judges We're
