Why the difference ?

Handing Out the Penalties The suspension of Roy Reed for three months for crossing is dealt with elsewhere, but here is another phase of the question. On the second day of the meeting E. Ludlow was given a rest for the remainder of the meeting- for the self J same offence. Ludlow was on .the fiery-headed Flaming Ray, who on appearances is just as likely to jump the fence as go straight on. It was a case vof an almost unmanageable brute getting a boy into trouble, yet he got a day and a-half. Evidently the stewards thought Ludlow to blame for the crossing, for they stood him down. In that case if they thought him to blame why let him off so light? Or if Avhen they let Ludlow off light who not do the Same with Reed. x "Truth" however, is of the opinion that both boys are stiff —especially Reed —for had there been any common sense used there would have been no penalties imposed. Ludlow was not at fault m his racQ> and Reed never crossed m his. iiiiuinmiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiimiimifiitiuii
