Everyone In the vicinity of the paddock was "on," and tin owner rushed to the Judges' stand and said that he didn't understand it aJV The horse was scratched, and the officials at the track have pending an investigation, O.

F. Humaa. the. owner of the horse, and will refuss all of his entries. When the betting opened on the sixth race, the books offered 10, 4 and 2 against the chances of Yo San.

Llk an avalanche fives, tens and twenties were poured Into the ring. The books rubbed to 8 to 1, but that didn't stop those who wanted to bet on Yo San. Evidently any old price was good enough. Then the books rubbed to yet there was no stopping the Yo San-enthusiasts. The price was finally forced to 4 to 1.

and the prospects for -Yo San closing favorite looked when something happened. Out in the paddock Yo F.an wu acting like mad. She kicked, and cavorted, and none could go neat her. "She is doped," was the whisper that soon grew to a roar. It was at this point that the owner went to the paddock Judge and said that he thought there was something wrong with his horse.

The ps-idock Judge referred him to Judges Price and Nelson. After questioning th owner- It was decided to scratch the horse, and the Judges determined to refuse any more entries from Mr, Humes until all the circumstances have been gated. "There isn any doubt but what the horse was unduly Mid Judge Price. Judge Price said 'unduly stimulated. while the stable boys and track at-tachees said "full of hop." But Judge Price was more elegant than the stable boys If not quite so forcible.

The nil-. ing of the Judge gave general satisfaction when all bets were declared off and twenty minutes allowed for a new book. GOOD CROWD AT TRACK. There was a good crowd at the track yesterday despite the weather, and. while not a favorite won, most of the winners were well backed.

The feature race of the day, a free handicap at seven eighths of a mile, was won by that good campaigner Mrs. Frank Foster. The old mare's victory was a popular one. She opened at 5 "to 2 but was pounded to 2 to 1 at post time. Pirate Polly was favorite at 6 to 5.

while 16 to 5 was to be had against Hans Wagner and to 1 against Pipe. As In 11 her races Mrs. Frank rushed to the front Bhortly ofter the barrier went up and at the half was leading by two lengths with Pipe second. Pirate Polly ran Into second place and at the stretch T. Taylor began to ride her hard but she couldn't overcome the lead of Mrs.

Frank who -won cleverly by a neck. Pirate Polly was four lengths in front of Pipe with Hans Wagner last. Bisque, which was the medium of a mild opening at 5 to 1 and closing at 4 to 1. won the opening race at a mile. Economist was favorite at 8 to 5 and Dorothy Dodd second choice at 13 to 5.

Ave, 50 to 1. led for the early part of the Journey but at three-quarter pole Bisque shot to the front, andstand- ing off the challenge of Dorothy Dodd, won cleverly by a lengtii. Dorothy Dodd was five lengths In front of Economist. Miss Morgan and Savior Fairs were fancied in the second- race, and closed at equal favorites at 9 to 6. Miss Morgan got away in front and led Into the stretch, where Obert sent Annie Alone after the leader, and won easily by two lengths.

Miss Morgan was the same distance In front of Chtcarra. The talent got a decided set-back In the fourth race at five-eights of. a mile. Brown's entry. Ohlyesaand Little Mike was made fa-sorite at to 5.

Tims of game 1:40. Attendance671. On just one occasion after the second inning of yesterday's Buffalo-Rochester fame at Olympic Park was the contest in doubt, and that was in the sixth Inning when Rochester got three men on base with one out. A safe hit then meant one run at least, and possibly more, but "Bill" Milligan. who, by the way, pitched an excellent game, pulled himself out of a bad hole and retired the Bronchos without a run in this as well as in all innings.

This was really the most exciting period of the game, one part of a one-sided contest which aweke the spectators somewhat The excitement from the small and faithful colony of fans was intense and sighs of relief were plainly audible when, with the sacks full, Barclay filed to Miller and Nattress threw Hcuser out at first base, ending the inning. How Buffalo has been losing games on the road is a hard problem for the student of baseball, especially one who hap witnessed the last two games here, to figure out. The Bisons have been playing a great game here. Runs have not been too numerous on the Bison's side, still nine in two games with fairly good pitching in one contest and a winning twirling stunt in the other against them is not so bad. Manager Buckenberger put Schultz in against Buffalo yesterday, and if Milligan had not been in the best of form Buffalo would have been sent down the line with another defeat marked against them.

Schultz's work, (ia al! but three Innings, was great. In the second, fourth and eighth ses-ions he was touched up for six hits, two each time, and these netted Buffalo three tallies and the game. Milligan set the visitors from the Flower City down with five hits. The beauty of his pitching was that he kept the safeties scattered. He was most effective with men on bases.

Joe is suffering from a boil on his left arm. and as a consequence was unable to get into the game. Greene took care of right field, and covered the garden well. Bobby Wood did not get-Into the fame as was expected. He may play today.

Like on the day previous Umpire Conway's vision was not anj- too sharp. His optical illusions favored Rochester, hut. as the Bisons won out anyway, there wns no great holler. That "Bill" Clancy secured three hits instead of one is due entirely to the fact that Conway's decisions favored him. "Bill" himself looked as if he was ashamed to take the money.

How it happened: First Inning Smith dribbled to Murphy, who. with aid of Milligan. retired him. Lapone smothered Clancy's bounder and Barclay popped to Murphy. No runs.

Smith and Clancy sent Gettman to the bench and McAllister lived on Smith's error. "Sport" was detected stealing and Greene skied to Yancey. No rune. Second inning Hous-er was easy for Murphy and Yancey cut the atmosphere in large slices. McConnell died Laporte to Murphy.

No runs. BUFFALO SCORES ONE RITi. Laporte wlndmilled and O'Brien foz-zled Mprphy's drive. Miller tapped, sending Murphy to second and Brock-ett fanned. Nattress drew a "complimentary, filling the sacks, and Milligan hit safely to center scoring Murphy.

Miller attempted to make home on the hit also but succumbed, Yancey to Schultz to Steelman. It was a pretty throw from center. One run. Third" inning O'Brien skied to Gettman. Greene gobbled Steelman's sky cleaner and Schultz cut the air In striking out.

No runs-. Gettman tore off a piece of the clouds i in a vain attempt to let the rain through and Yancey took care of the fly. Mc- Allister grounded to McConnell who threw him out at first, this play being a left-handed one on the part "of both fielders. Greene was taken care of by Schultz and Clancey. No runs.

Fourth inning Smith skied to Greene 1 and Clancey, by virtue of a yellow decision, lived at first. Barclay fied to Greene and Houser soaked the air. No runs. Laporte wan easy for O'Brien, and Clancey and Murphy singled to center. Miller forced Murphy at second and then purloined a base.

Brockett singled scoring Murphy, and Nattress was out Schultz to Clancey. One run. Fifth Inning Yancey was out Laporte to Murphy. McConnell fanned and O'Brien's weak fly was taken care of by Laporte. No runs.

Milligan early beat out a throw from McConnell but was called out and Gettman popped to Steelman. O'Brien and Clancey retired McAllister. No runs. Sixth inning Steelman lived on Natty error and Schultz singled. Smith hit to Milligan, who threw Steelman out at third.

Clancey got to first on a punk hit, filling the bases, and matters looked blue for Buffalo. Barclay's fly was taken care of by Miller and Houser died, Nattress to Murphy. No runs. Greene popped to Clancey and Laporte fanned. Murphy walked, but Miller flied to O'Brien.

No runs. Seventh inning Yancey fanned. McConnell was out. Laporte to Murphy. Nattress ran to center field to gather in O'Brien's fly.

No runs. Brockett fanned. Nattress -went out to Schultz to Clancey. and Milligan died-in the same manner. No runs.

Eighth inning Mllligan's' wild throw gave life, and Smith filed to Miller after Schultz had fanned. Clancey got the best of another decision on Conway's part, but Barclay filed to Laporte, ending the agony. No runs. Ijreimian nuifijcu anu aicAiiister flied to Steelman. Greene forced Gettrnari at second and the latter scored on Laporte's three-bagger.

went, McConnell to Clancey. One run, Houser wlndmilled and Yancey McConnell cut the air and-O'Brien, forced Yancey at second, Laporte to Nattress. No runs.
