SCANDAL ON TURF EXPOSED Poison Plot Uncovered at Aurora —Two Men Confess Strychnine Trick. By Bert Demby, United Prett Staff Correspondent AURORA, ill., May 28.—Turf fans of the nation today were shocked by the expose of a plot In which two fnen confessed poisoning four thoroughbreds entered In the Illinois handicap, feature race on Thursday’s horse racing program at the Aurora track. The expose, It was believed, may endanger the turf sport In this area. First Indication of the plot came a few minutes before the horses were to have been called to the post. A brief announcement that four of the horses were 111 and that the raije had been called off disappointed a large crowd. Apology Dies Before night, one of the horses, Apology, a 6-year-old marc from the Kentucky stables of E. E. Stert-ett, died from strychnine. The other three—Elizabeth K, from Maryland; Greenwoods, from the stable of Terry Druggan, notorious Chicago beer baron, and Sandrae, another Maryland horse, probably will survive. Only a few hours after the race was to have been run, four men were taken into custody, and after long grilling, two of them confessed, naming a fifth man, Earl Clark, as the "brains” of the conspiracy, which was to have netted gamblers approximately $250,000. Two Confess The two who confessed were Bari Leaver of Toronto, Ontario, and Charles Davis of Dayton, Ohio. They admitted feeding the horses lumps of sugar which had been dipped in strychnine. Frank Marion of Springfield, Ohio, and U. S. Young of Charleston, W. Va., were the other men held ‘‘by authorities. . Indictments will be asked against these four and Clark, charging them with poisoning an animal. This offense, under the Illinois law, makes the men liable to a. SI,OOO fine, and three years in prison. From copies of telegrams found in Clark’s abandoned hotel room, authorities reached the conclusion the plot had been organized for the purpose of allowing Faenza, from the stable of R. P. Summerfield of Maryland, to win the handicap.

Mrs. Gibbs has the cooperation of the feminine members of the Country Club, and entertainment typical of Indianapolis hoftts is being arranged. Miss Naomi Hull of Kendallville won the title in 1926 and It is the desire of Indianapolis women links enthusiasts that a local player cap ture the 1926 laurels.

A putting and driving tourney was held on the practice greens Thursday and eight feminine players tied for first prize in the putting class. In the play-off, Miss Anna Taylor won. In the driving class Miss Marjorie Roemler drove the ball 226 yards and captured first honors. She will be a contender for the State title this year.
