PECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH To THE CALL
SEATTLE, July 2O.-It devolved upon
Arcourt to save the situation for the
favorite players after Givonni Balerio.
Phillistina, Netting, Green Seal and
The Sutton had gone down to defeat
in the first five races at The Meadows
today. Arcourt was equal to the emer-
gency. and running the best race of
his career, scored an easy victory.
Ida May cut fraction from the track
record for six and a half furlOngs in
winning her race after being almost
overlooked in the betting.
Toupee reversed the outcome Of his
previous meeting with Givonnt Ba-
lerio so easily that the judges decided
to indefinitely suspend Jockey Archi-
bald, who rode Toupee on both occa-
sions. 1t was not altogether on TOu-
pee's account that this action was
taken, however, the officials having
been dissatisfied with several of Archi-
bald's rides during the past week,
notably that on Monte Lucille, which
mare won by nose in spite of what
appeared to them as an Indifferent ef-
fort on the Jockeys part. Other speci-
fications are also held against Archi-
bald.
After Phillistina's improved showing
today the judges decreed that Jockey
Buxton should confine his riding to the
der contract. Jockey Sandy, who was
suspended a few days ago, is to be
permitted to ride for his contract en-
ployer, the Sobra Vista stable.
For offensive touting ]. w. Blalock
and s. c. Allen have been warned
away and ordered to remove their
horses from The Meadows. None of
their horses had started here. While
no official statement of the eircum-
stances which brought about their
downfall has been given out, it is un-
derstood that a wealthy local woman
whom they are said to have attempted
to influence to put big bet down on
a race, with the assurance that an
electric battery or some such device
would be used furnished the informa-
ton on which action was taken.
Roy Offutt was so displeased with the
way Jockey Walsh rode Taylor George
Saturday that he today Cancelled the
engagements that he had taken on the
boy for his stable this week
Former Jockey Willie Holmes. who
rode with success in this country and
afterward in Austria and Russia, COM
mitted suicide here Sunday by shooting
himself through the head While de-
spondent because of i'll health. Holmes
returned from abroad with about $2O,-
600 five years ago, but was unsuccess-
full in speculation and died poor.
