HCEI. SIS IS FIRST
WHEN REBUEE AND
LECHORN GET BAN


SARATOGA RACE TRACK. AuR.
1s-rurf followers received the
shock of their lives today when the
stewards saw At 10 d.squalify two
horses. II came in connection with
thx running Of the third race, when
Rebuke and Leghorn. all through
the stretch, had a battle royal. 1t
was plain that something had hap
pened. but from the stand II could
not be correctly seen. The stew
ards. however. were IN a line to see
and after the hnish they immedi-
ately called Jockey Carroll, who
had the mount on Leghorn. into
the stand. The boy gave his ver-
sion Of the cause and when Kelsay
came back to the scaies he was
called to the stand. The stewards
announced their ruling, which was
the setting back OF both horses.
The oficiai placing was Excelsis
first. Double Cross second and
Overtake third.
| Kelsay and Carroll were both to
blame. They rode rough and foul
all through the stretch and right
at the end Keisay outrode Carroll
and won by nose. II was a
hard dose for the players to swal-
low. but they took the ruling good
naturedly and there was much ap-
plause when the Excelsis number
was hung up. The stewards sus-
| pended both boys for the rest OF
the meeting.
The colony Of available riders
was further depleted shortly after
the third race when Marlnelli. con-
tract rider for Max Hirsch. and
Keisay. contract rider for BUD
Fischer, engaged in a fist night In
the Jockey Quarters. They were
suspended for the remainder OF the
meeting.
