was taken out of the ring at Morris
rark and that the bOOkma6ers were not
aware Of it until they had reached their
homes That was a ridiculous state
ment. The ring won heavily on the race.
as 80 per cent of the boOl1nakers at
the track won large amounts on the re-
suit Only a few 81. So and $40 bets were
scattered around the ring on him. Two
of the layers, George Rose and Billy
Cowan, who accepted MitchelFs com
mission, which was the largest bet they
had on the horse, won on the race.
Very few Of the boolSmakers, so they
stated to a World reporter yesterday,
had to pay out more than $500 or $500.
Among the 200 bOokmakers not more
than $4,000 was paid out on the horse.
In order to win $4,000 in the ring on
such poor race as this vast was
contest among poor selling platers-it
would be necessary to chlOrOform the
bOOkmakers.
The eastern layer is suspicious of
western good things, and as soon as
money is offered on a horse from that
part Of the country they want to know
all about him. Far from losing $500. 900
the ring won, conservative book
maker said. about $4,000 on the race.
THE stewards Of the WestcAester
Racing association started an investi-
cation Of the race and of the horse
early in the afternoon. T. T. Cromwell,
the owner, a resident of Iowa. went be-
fore the officials and stated that The
Fiddler was none other than the horse
represented. He stated that he had
bought him from II. Walker at St Louis
two years ago for $500 He said the
horse worked fairly well, but that he
only thought we'll enough of his chance
TO bet $40 on him. He claimed that he
did not know who bet on the horse in
western pool rooms.
Same Horse Won at Oakland.
The Fiddler won a race at the oak
land track in April at odds of 40 to l.
Since then he has been hacked about
the country. A month ago he reached
Brighton Beach track and has been in
training there. Charles OK. an owner,
and Billy Dozer, IN expert timer for
bookmakers, saw the horse work a.
pretty fast trial, and determined to
have a small bet on him when he met
poor company Each man had a small
bel on him Yesterday.
MI Cromwell stated that ne would
bring the horse into the paddock after
6-'1ast race and let anybody inspect
him. When the bay gelding was led
into the paddock quite a crowd Of
hOrsemen surrounded him. Tommy
Walker, his former owner. identified
him as the horse he sold Cromwell in
St. Louis. Green B. Norris and Rex
Morris identified the horse as the one
they had seen win in California as The
Fiddler Previous to the Identification
they had given a description of the
horse to the stewards which tailed ex-
actly with the horses appearance. Hi
ram Johnson was a chestnut with a big
deep scar over his left eye. Mcnamara,
the other horse The Fiddler was sup
posed TO be, Rex Morris said was ~
much larger animal and ran with his
head in the air while racing. The Fid-
dler runs with his head down and is a
much smaller horse.
Matt Storm the California horse
man. identified him as The Fiddler, and
r. a. Smith, who has seen Mcnamara
a number Of times. said he was positive
that he was not the Montana horse.
''AlgernOn DaingerfieId, secretary to
the Jockey club stewards. secured a de

with the Jockey club shortly after his
birth. All the marks of Identification
as recorded in the stud book were sim

dock, and he was declared to be The
