 Boston, Mass, July 17.-A1bert Champion won the triangular twenty fiye-mile motor-paced race at Charles River Park, which was contested last night by Champion, Bobby Walthour and James, F. Moran, by 120 yards over Moran in 39:45 3-5. Walthour was two laps behind Champion at the finish. No accidents marred the race and Champion won simply be- cause he rode faster than the others.
 "Maior'' Taylor went before the N. c. A. board of control yesterday to explain why he had failed to appear at the circuits at Madison Square, Proyi- dence and Worcester. Taylor pleaded illness, but after hearing it was de- cided that, although he was not ill
 
 to appear, and it was considered that it was Taylor's own fault that he had not arrived in time to prepare himself for the circuit races for which he had signed. The fact that he remained in Europe until June g because of | financial Inducements and raced there and won Cn June 24 and that after arriving here on July 4 he had with | an ordinary sprinting wheel ridden behind pace within three seconds of | the track record initiated against the | champion He was directed to join 1 the circuit and to settle matters with the three tracks named. He will not have to pay any fine to the N. c. A., but each of the track managers can hold him for $100 damages. If he can settle for less he may do so. It is understood that the champion already has settled with the Worcester track | by agreeing to ride a match race on | a date when he was not booked. After | the meeting yesterday Taylor wired to Manhattan Beach that he would ride in the half mile championship race to be run there tonight.
 Perhaps because it was thought that he deserved some credit for confessing his trick the board of control of the I N. c. A. has seen fit to deal very light ly with Fred Hoyt, the Bridgeport boy | who introduced pace following with a l string on the Fourth of July. A meet ing of the board was held yesterday at Hartford and the Hoyt case was disposed of by imposing fine of S1OO and suspending him from all compe- | tition in paced or other races until September 15. After he pays the fine of $100 he will be permitted to ride on a tandem as a pacemaker. so that he will not be wholly debarred from making living. If Hoyt had not con- fessed it is question whether he could have been convicted. O. A. Mosher. the pacemaker who cooper ated with Hoyt in the trick, was fined $25, in default of which he will stand suspended for thirty days from July D.

Wilson paced IF and down the track threatening to kill Collett. Several of the other riders interferred and a general melee be tween the police. trying to maintain order, and the racers and spectators who crowded onto the track how1inp against Collett. followed.
