At the annual meeting of the
board of review of the National
Trotting association in New York
Wednesday, E. Baldwin, alias E. M.
Hughes, of Huntsville, n. Y, R.
Morey, alias James Hoy, Albany N.
Y. and the bay stallion Morey. form
erly Amber, record 2:18, were sus-
pended, the men for ringing the
horse under a fictitious name.
Morey, started in Akron, July 8,
in the 2:33 trot. He was entered un-
der his fictitious name, running the
race in a hard-fought contest. He
was entered by E. Baldwin. There
was some doubt about the horse and
the owner was called on to identify
him. He produced an affidavit
which was satisfactory to the Off
cials. His breeding was given as
unknown" 1t has since developed
that the affidavit was spurious.
Morey was shipped to Rockport
from this city, where he started in
the 2:35 trot. It was claimed that
the race was thrown. At this point
the judges fined the owner and re-
fused to pay him second money. An
investigation was started which re-
suited in the action taken Wednes-
day. The association in this city
will bring an action against the
owner of the horse for obtaining
money under false pretenses if he
can be found. Baldwin, it has been
learned, was an assumed name. Both
man and horse have dropped out of
sight.
Special Train.
The North End IA. c., of which
Art Simms is member, has char
tered special train for next Mon
day night and will go to the Busi-
ness Mems gymnasium at Cleve-
land, fully 400 strong to witness the
Akron lad meet Tommy White of
Chicago, in what is scheduled for a
twenty-round contest at 126 pounds.
Simms has been training at the
North End club, and his improve
ment has been so steady that the
Akron contingent are very confident
that he will carry off the honors.
s'No matter how you look at the
affair."" said well posted ring fol-
lower yesterday, '..Simms has more
than look in. True, he is young
ster with a lot to learn, but I tell you
it is the youngsters who are making
their mark. A lot of wise people re-
fer to us as being from the back
woods, but it is from the backwoods
as rule that the natural fighters
come. I have watched Simms work
in all his contest and I am of the
opinion that he has at least an even
chance with such a clever ring gen.
eral as White. There is an old adage
that Youth will be served and I
think that when a fresh, healthy
young fellow meets man who has
been before the public for some years
and whose style is set, the chances
are with the beginner, other things
being equal. Well, Monday night
will tell the tale, but at any rate |
think that the contest will be very
fast one while it lasts for Simms is
as rapid as they make them"
