FOUL RIDING SPOILS SPORT AT LATONIA, Likewise Upsets Some Betting Expectations Jockey Nicol and Fischer Are Under Suspension. Cincinnati, O., October 20. Had there been less rough riding at Latonia this afternoon, there would have been tales of well-planned coups to tell. Fred Cook suffered most by the failure of a rider to strictly observe the rules of racing. With, the idea of reaping a harvest, Cook is said to Iuive sent money to several of the cities to be wagered in poolrooms and handbooks -on his filly Bnren Arnold in the second race. Xicol took Buren Arnold into a long lead from the start, but nearing the stretch turn Ilattio Rodman" was pressing him, Xicol, probably overanxious to land the big wager for his employer, began using foul tactics and carried , Hattie Rodman wide. In doing so lie lost much ground and when challenged sharply in the final strides by Emma V., Buren Arnold could not withstand the challenge and suffered defeat by a close margin. Nicol was fined 0 and suspended for five days. Tartan, heavily backed to win. was also defeated through rough riding. Tartan was installed favorite witli Mcllvain second choice. The odds albut the latter receded at an alarming rate. This swift rise in price caused judge Price to substitute Moreland for D. Roland as Mcllvains rider. Meanwhile the Tartan connections were hammering the price about their candidate down to C to . 5. He -was probably best, but had all the bad luck of the vaee in the early stages. Even when clear and having a winning chance in the stretch he was pinned in against the inner rail by T. Taylor on Joe Coyne. This settled his chances for good and he was unable to finish better than third. Wishard, who rode Tartan, lodged a claim of foul against Mcllvain, but as jockey Taylor was responsible for nearly all the interference, the judges let the result stand as the horses .finished. Had Wishard claimed a foul against Joe Coyne he would have been given the place money, beyond question. Another case of roughing occurred in the closing race when C. Fisher on Red Thistle jammed most of the others hopelessly on the first turn and destroyed their chances. For this he was suspended by the judges for ten days. Ed Alvey, who paid his fine of 1,000 yesterday, snore than recovered that amount when McCbord won the opening race for him. He backed his colt 2ieavlly here and away. Elliott, winner of the last race, was bid up 00 over his entered price of a like amount by A. K. Miller and retained by his owner. Jockeys Foy and Aubucbon were each lined 3 by I o f v t the starter for disobedience at the post in the second race. Jockey H. Larsen will in future ride in the colors of E. Corrlgan. Mr. Corrigan arrived here today from Louisville. The horses of G. H. Marlman and E. Horton have lx?en turned out for the winter. Labor broke down this morning while being worked out.
