SCANDAL IN
TROTTING CIRCLES
Mallory Wilkes and Sweetheart
Believed to Be the
Same Mare.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

DETROIT, Mich. April There Is sufi-
cient reason to believe that the pacing
mare raced in Canada, Michigan and Ohio
during the last season as Mallory Wilkes
by Jack Wilkes and Sweetheart, by Mcbin-
ney, raced in Alabama and Georgia late
In the season. are identical
According to several communications to
the trotting turf press there IS conclusive
evidence that this mare was another one
of several Fingers out last year. and
while quite extensively campaigned, got
away with the goods without any trouble
Mallory Wilkes first appeared at STRAIT
ford, Ontario, on June 80, and was entered
in the pa class. described as a bay mare,
by Jack Wilkes. After finishing fourth
and sixth she was distanced in the third
heat.
Nothing was heard of her again until the
Following August, when she started in the
same class al Brussels. Ontario, and won
in straight heats best time In 2. 23A
At Port Huron, Mich, on September ),
she won the % class, a f1ve-heat race,
taking record of 2.19A in the fourth heat
month later at Akron, Ohio, she cap
tured second money standing in the sum
maries 6, ., g
There has been perhaps very few in
stances, If any, of two ringers being In
the same race and the owners and drivers
of both knowing their horses to be so. This
happened at Kamms. Ohio, on October 70,
when both Pat c., alias Prince c.. already
proven of being a ringer, and Mallory
Wilkes contested in the 21S class, the for
mer winning the race and the latter second
money
Mallory Wilkes was driven here, as else
where, by j. F. Hennessey, and this may
eventually bring out the fact that Dad
Whitney of Des Moines, Iowa, who was
found guilty for ringing Cuprum. alias May
clone, and Pat c., may also be concerned in
the Mallory Wilkes Sweetheart case
Ihe last Of Majorv in
the north was at Cambridge, Ohio, where
she was entered and raced in the 2.1S pace,
but her managers were satisfied with third
money. In all of the above places nc ques-
tons were asked, but by the result of the
summaries 1t was evident that she was
being saved, and it proved later that her
owners intended to make a killing before
the racing season came to an end
In Birmingham. Ala, on October 80
mare named Sweetheart, by Mckinney,
started in the 2 40 class and finished second
In the both heats, the time being 2.15A and
213A
Three days later, at Macon, Ga, she won
in straight heats the purse for the 2.25
class In handy style, taking record of
217A. Some questions were asked here
as to the identity of the mare, but she was
allowed to start again on November 1 be-
cause the track management wanted the
entry in order to fill up the race. She won
second money.
She was taken to Waycross, Ga. where
she won second and fourth moneys on No
yember 15 and 16. HennesSey stated that
the mare bred by man named p.
Pearsal of Saginaw, Mich. and that she
was by Mckinney, dam lilly Green, by
Great Heart
She has several distinguishing marks and
is said can be readily identified as being
ringer. On her ringing tour south she was
raced over tracks in membership with both
the National and American associations.
