RACE TRACK BETTOR
 SUES TWO JOCKEYS
Cohen Asks 5000 For Losses On Event He Claims Was
 Fixed

Baltimore. Nov, i5-James Butwell, we'll known jockey; Clarence and Happy Buxton, race horse owner and rider, who have been made de- fendants in d suit for $5,000 insti- tnted in the city court by M, Lee Cohen. are charged by Cohen with having conspired to throw" race in Toronto two years ago.
 The events leading up to the suit, according to Cohen are these:
 During a race meeting In Toronto Butwell was engaged to ride Nellie York. horse owned by James Dunn, n prominent turfman, In the same race Happy" Buxton rode Frank Waters, owned by Clarence Burton, Cohen said. Dunn bet s3.000 on his horse. and Guy Burns, who made all riding engagements for Butwell, bet $500 on the horse. Frank Waters won the race.
 Cohen declares that Burns then went to Butwell and, told him that he had lost all the money he had on the race and that he had intended send. ing his wife to the hospital with the money. Butwel, 1t is alleged, said that had he known that he would have let his horse win. According to Cohen, he said that he had pulled" him. to let Frank Waters win because Buxton had bet s2o0 on Frank Waters for him.
 Burns then told Dunn, what Butwell is alleged to have said, but nothing was done until this year, when Dunn met Buxton in Detroit and induced him to take an automobile ride with him. He told Buxton what he had bet and won on Frank Waters in the race in Toronto and, it is said Buxton ad- mitted that he had fixed" the race.
