DRIVERS PROCTOR AND NUCKLEs
DID SOME QUEER DRIVING.
Last Event at Detroit Was So Suspi.
cious that All Bets Were Declared
OH-Summary Of Races.

July z4.-AS the result OF very
queer driving in the 21S pace, the last event
on to-days card at the Blue Ribbon meet
ing Of the Detroit Driving Club at Crosse
Point, Driver Al Proctor, of Aurora, Ont,
who was behind Darby. was fined 500 and
suspended for thirty days, Driver Vance
Nuckols, who was behind Theron Powers,
was fined 500 and all bets and pools on
the race were declared off, Darky opened
favorite for the race at ST. with the field SIS.
The Canadian horse won this heat with
ease, finishing under a pull. For the sec
ond heat the betting changed. Joe Rhea
opened at to / and was backed off the
boards. Joe Rhea trailed after Darky to the
upper turn, where he came away and won
by more than length. The time was 215
seconds slower than the first heat, but
Darby did not seem to have the speed that
was his in the first time around.
When the horses appeared for the third
heat Driver Ben Walker had superseded
Proctor In Darky's sulky, but this arrange
ment did not suit the judges, who had al
ready decided to unseat Proctor and have
Driver Jack Curry behind Darby. Curry
worked Darky up and down the stretch
once, the horse acting queerly, then dis
mounted and shaking his head went up
for a consultation with the, judges. He
mounted the sulky and the horses logged
back for the start.
Joe Rhea was then ruling favorite at s2s:
with the field $40. Theron Powers, who had
finished fifth in the preceding heat. which
was won in 2:141z, trailed along third until
the stretch, where he took the lead and
won by comfortable margin In 2:l2l4. This
gelding took the fourth heat from Darky
and Joe Rhea, the others having gone to
the barn. The result of this heat was
never in doubt.
"ALL BETS OFF"
Cries Of '.An bets or went up from the
crowd Immediately after the race was fin
ished. and the knoll back of the judges
stand was crowded when the judges an
nounced that bets were off and that Proc
tor had been fined and suspended and
Nuckols fined. The latter he said, was
not trying with Theron Powers in the first
two heats. The announcement was received
with cheers. This is the first fine of the

favorite for the Consolation, but broke bad
Han. the latter being dis.anesd and
1ns neat Tilsy s'f Direct was in 'front.'
all the way in the second heat Kingmore
challenged the mare in the stretch, but
failed by head. Fleetwood was favorite
for the 2:26 trot and won the first heat
but Monroe had the speed in the second
and won after splendid drive down the
stretch. Fleetwood broke in the third heat
and Monroe was never in danger.
In the 2:0S pacing event Carthage Girl
and Nonamie paced the first dead heat seen
here in years. Nonamie had no trouble
diSposing of the black mare in the next two
heats Billy Buck was an almost prohib-
tive favorite for the 2:1S trot, which he
took in straight heats with ease.
