Finn AbSolyed From
Blondy Scandal

w. w. Finn was a visitor at Emery
Vile Wednesday, erf route from Salt
Lake to Arcadia, where his horses will
be raced this winter. The object of
Finns visit here was to arrange for
the shipment south of two yearlings
that another trainer has been handling
for him at Emeryville and incidentally
to confer with the officials of the New
California jockey club concerning the
reports sent out from Boise connect
ing him with the scandal arising out
of the running of Blondy in lead BAN
declares that he was in no way i'm
plicated In the Blondy episode and that
he had no more idea of the condition
in which Blondy went to the post in
the race in question than the general
public had.
Robert Leighton, who presided at the
Boise meeting. was also a visitor at
Emeryville, having stopped off on his
way from his home at Vancouver, B. c..
to Arcadia for the purpose of acquaint-
ing the local jockey club officials with
the details of the Blondy case. Leigh
ton reported that Macpherson, Blondy's
owner, who was ruled off, had assum ed
entire responsibility for the manipula-
ton of the horse and had declared that
nobody else had any knowledge of the
fact that the horse was being run in
the lcdQ DdnudEtS. Tie cldllIleQ That he
had not informed Stuart Polk, who
bought the lead at his request, of the
use to which it was to be put. The
licensing committee of the New Call
fornia Jockey club has been holding
up Polks application for training
license, but it may be that Polk will
get his license on the strength OF
Leighton's report.
Leighton resumed his journey to Los
Angeles yesterday. He served as patrol
Judge at the Arcadia track last season
but is in doubt as to whether he will
be connected with the southern track
in any official capacity this season.

Nearly all the articles devoted to the subject of training for news

ing that the aspirant to the profession, trade or work" of journalism
needs some wen-dehned training, Al Ia the law, o medicine, or electrical

A few years ago julius Kruttschnitt, one OF the high officials Of the
