Show RACE JUDGES FINE DRIVER AND OWNER COLUMBUS. Ohio. Sept. 2S. Columbus's Colum-bus's Grand Circuit meet came to a close this afternoon, when a seventh and deciding de-ciding heat of the 2:13 trot was raced on a track a little slow because of a night rain. The judges, who had taken charge of Doris Wa tts after her sixth-heat suspicious suspi-cious drive of Thursday, placed C. L. Floyd behind her today Instead of Guy Lee, and she won the race. Peter Dallas finished second and Mendosa third in the seventh heat. The time of the mile was 2:liy4. At the conclusion o! the race the judges fined Driver Lee 5100 for not trying to win. Owner George Slaughter of Detroit also was fined 5100 for collusion, while C. L. Floyd was awarded 51U0 out of Doris Watts's winnings for driving the final heat. No sufficient evidence was found to merit any punishment for Driver Al Stout in the 2:15 trot df Wednesday, when he did not win with Lotto Watts, and the charges against him were dropped.
