do you think the universal rule pre-

GO between, SUBURBAN
WINNER, is PROTESTED

Francis r. Hitchcock, the owner of
Dandeitor, that finished second in the
Suburban handicap. lodged yesterday a
protest against the payment OF first
money. $4,000. to Alex Shields, the
owner OF Go Between, the winner. In
his complaint 10 the stewards OF the
Coney Island Jockey Club Hitchcock
claims that GO Between was entered
and raced as gelding, when he was
In reality a ridgelng
The protest is made purely on tech
nical grounds. Go Between has raced
and won races for three years as a geld
ing. and this claim has never been raised
before.
Alex Shields. the owner OF the horse
told a reporter for The World that he
did not know whether Go Between was a
ridgeling or not.
II bought him out OF a race at pub
lie auction last year as a gelding from
an official OF the Coney Island Jockey
club as n gelding.' said Shields. "and
shall hold the club responsible II the
case is decided against me. / bought
the horse in good faith as a gelding
raced him as such in all his races. and
never knew that he was anything else
and / don't know now that he is other
wise than the gelding the club officials
sold me-"
Horsemen who discussed the claim

made by Hitchcock said that II waS
such a frivolous one that 10 should not
be entertained by the stewards. Ridge
lings. these men declared, are always
CLASSIFIED In the conditions OF races
as eeldings. and have no other official
rating. Every day ridgelings are raced
as geldings. and have been for years.
The question OF sex has been established
for years. and II is too late now 10 change
It.
Another point favorable 10 Shields was
advanced by the turfmen. II Is that the
Suburban is a handicap. which calls for
no condition OF sex but simply states that
a horse entered must carry the weight as
signed 70 him plus any penalty. Go Be-
tween filled all the requirements OF these
conditions, won the race and IL entitled
10 first money
After the protest was filed with the
stewards, the veterinary surgeon. hired
by the Jockey club. went to Go Between's
stall and examined him. The result Of
this examination the horse doctor refused
10 discuss. but he turned over a written
report 10 the club
Hitchcock Is a steward OF the Jockey
club. one OF the powerful men OF the
Eastern turf and a wealthy man, owning
shares in several Of the race tracks
Shields Is comparatively speaking, a poor
man. VINO has made a living for the last

There Is no denying the fact that the
Grays through Eddie Poole. deserved TO
lose the game yesterday by the stupid
plays that he made. The game began
stupidity when Brodie allowed Fosters
hit TO go for three bases in the first
inning.
Poole was rather erratic at times and
gave passes irom time 10 time that were
costly. In fact this was one of the con-
tributing causes to the first run. That
would all have been forgiven had It not
been for the stupid play in the eighth
inning which virtually cost the home
team the game by two runs.

game was close. every inch Of the ground
