ECHO OF TURF SCANDAL
Horse Trainer Says G. X. G..
BILLINGS Did Not Keep His Word.

In the suit for 100000 which George
w Spear, a trainer and driver Of trotting
horses. has brought against c. X o..
Billings there is an echo of the scandal
that followed the race in Memphis in
1904 between Billings's mare, Lou Dillon,
and Major Delmar. owned by Elmer r.
Smathers Major Delmar won the race
and a gold cup. Charges were made, IN
stigated, II was said, by Billings, that
Lou Dillon had been tempered with before
the race.
Spear, who was formerly a trainer Tor
Smathers, made an affidavit at the time
that there had been a conspiracy between
Smathers's stable and the trainer Of Lou
Dillon to cause the defeat Of the mare.
Spear was the trainer Of Major Delmar.
Spear now alleges that he made the az
adavit because he was assured by Billings
that he would make good any monetary
loss that the trainer suffered by being
expelled from the National Trotting Asso-
citation. Spear was expelled, and was not
permitted to train or drive again until
last May, when he was reinstated. Spear
says that Billings failed TO pay him for
his losses, which he places at 100000.
