FINES IMPOSED ON GUILTY HORSEMEN Driver Floyd Placed Behind Doris Watts, Wins 2:483 Trot Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 29.—Colum- bus’ Grand Circuit meeting came to a close yesterday afternoon, when the seventh and deciding heat of the 2:13 trot was raced on a track a little slow because of a night rain. Hodges, who had taken charge of Doris Watts after her sixth heat sus- piclous drive of Thursday, placed C. L. Floyd behind her yesterday in- stead of Guy Lee, and she won the race. Peter Dallas finished second and Mendosa third. The time of the mile was 2:11 1-4. At the conclusion of the race the judges fined Driver Lee $100 for not trying to win. Owner George Slaugh- ter, of Detroit, also was fined $100 for collusion, while C. L. Floyd was awarded $100 out of Doris Watts’ winnings for driving the final heat. Not sufficient evidence was found to merit any punishment for Driver Al Sout in the 2:15 trot of Wednes- day, when he did not win with Lotto ‘Watts, and the charges against him were dropped.

ALVA VENTRES Alva Ventres, the ‘Village Black- smith” of Berlin, and one of the best wrestlers in the middleweight class ever developed in this neck of woods, is putting on thefinishing touches for his bout with F. Iven “Kid” Benja- min of Piainville, which will be staged in Turner hall Saturday evening, Oc- tober 6. The Berlin boy is working hard to be in the best condition of his career, as he holds the greatest respect for the prowess of his next adversary on the mat. Ventres is a wrestler who is keen of being in good shape at all times but he desires to | wear off rough edges that may exist, and he is also priming himself to be in shape to make short work of Ben- jamin, if possible. The management has arranged two preliminaries that will no doubt be tough battles. Alex George of Bris- inction of being the last word in the wrestling art, as far as the Bell City is con- cerned. He will be called upon to put into working force the best he pos- sesses when he stacks up against Geo.
