EARTHQUAKE HOLDS
UP TROTTING SCANDAL

NEW YORK, April 25.-Justice Scott was
applied to in the supreme court yesterday
in behalf of Elmer e. Smathers, directing
the Memphis Trotting Association to permit
former Representative John ]. Adams. coun-
sci for Smathers, to inspect certain affi-
davits in the possession of the association
which, it is alleged, relate to the alleged
doping of the famous mare, Lou Dill
Ion.
: The Memphis Trottlng Association re-
Gently brought suit against Smathers and
seized gold cup which he won driving the
horse Major Delmar against c. K. G. Bill
ings' mare, Lou Dillon.
The association asserted that 1t had
proof that the cup was unfairly won be-
cause Lou Dillon was "doped." Smathers
denied this, and In his answer to the suit
declared he had won the race honestly. He
filed bond and replevined the cup.
At the argument yesterday 1t was stated
that the principal affidavit in regard to the
alleged doping is in the possession of Muir
ray Howe. who was in San Francisco dur
ing the recent earthquake. Parker, Shee-
han & Hatch, counsel for the Memphis
Trotting Association, asked for an adjourn
ment until Mr.. Howe can be communicated
with.
Justice Scott adjourned the hearing I'M
til May 8. MIR. Adams stated in his appli-
cation that the National Trotting Associa-
ton Is to begin an investigation of the
alleged doping" of Lou Dillon on Tues
day next.

phia last night and are CHARTERED at the

very much pleased over their victory in
Philadelphia yesterday, land will do every
thing possible to capture all four games
from the Nationals. Albert Edward Orth
and James MCGUIRE had punches of WASH
ington friends around them in the hotel
lobby, and the latter looks as young as
ever. Mac" said to Star reporter that
he would play ball as long as they wanted
him and he was able to stand UP.
Manager Griffith refused to give out who
would be the pitcher this afternoon. but
the chances favor Chesbro, as he has not
been on the rubber for several days and
is In prime condition. When asked about
his team, Manager Griffith said:
Wen be up there; no doubt Of that.
know I have great ball team, and feel
sure that we will come strong. You know
Keller never was at his best at the start
of the season, but he's always there later
on. / am awful sweet on Williams hitting.
He certainly Is going great. Dougherty IS
moving nicely. He Is going to play good
ball this season.
Il like my infieid as a hitting and field
ing combination. You know, as a rule only
the out1elders are expected to WELD the
heaviest clubs, but I have good hitters IN
every department.
Then don't forget that have bunch OF
good pitchers. AS a rule, do not like TO
make predictions this early in the season,
but certainly feel that have winner.
Shortstop Eberfield will be out of the
game for several days yet, as he was badly
spiked by base runner during the exhibi-
ton game in Newark last Sunday. Joe
Yeager played short yesterday and put up
his usual good game.
Manager Stahl had his men out early at
the park this morning and every one got
good warming up In the two hours prac-
tice. He said he would put in either rom
Hughes or Case Patten this afternoon. but
at the last minute he may shift to Smith.
The New Yorks are here for four days,
and if the Washingtons can get into thelr
last weeks form the quartet OF battles Will
certainly be worth while looking at.
