 It Is a hardship to be ruled ofl one of the recognized racetracks. but when man falls under the ban at an outlaw race course the climax is reached with a vengeance. outside of New Orleans. Suburban park. an outlaw, has been conducting race meetings on Sundays and holidays for some time past. Owners, train CTS and jockeys who have seen fit to take part in the sport there have been promptly ruled off by the rival turf bodies in the west which con- ,trol the fair grounds and City park.
