suspension OF Ray and ROdrock will not be such

seemed would be the case. 1t is not believed that

severe than they have already received

The fight between Ray and Rodrock on Saturday
unwarranted as II was from the point OF view OF
the stewards. must have made the large number OF
regulars who insist that all jumping races are

wholly by the eagerness of each Jockey 10 get his
mount home in front and each willing 10 take
all kinds OF chances legitimate otherwise 70
accomplish his purpose Il will be recalled that
half OF the squaobles in the riding fraternity are
between steeplechase jockeys and that half or them
not speaking terms with the other half
II the races are fixed" they must be done through
agents and diplomats.
