HITCHCOCK TAKES AN APPEAL. New York, July 4. I. R. Hitchcock has taken an appeal from the decision of the stewards of th.? Coney Island, Jockey Club in the matter of his protest against Go Betweens description in the Suburban Handicap and likewise the Commonwealth Handicap. The Jockey Club stewards will pass upon the appeal. Tlie committee of veterinarians oluciallv appointed to examine tlie Shields horse have not made their report public as yet. There is. however, little doubt now that Go Between is a stallion. In substantiation of tlie claim of John E. Madden that tlie castrating knife has never been applied to Go Bel ween, the records have been carefully gone over. It has been shown that Go Between bade his debut on the turf in tbe colors of Captain S. S. Brown at Ixmisvillc, Ky.. on May 10, 100-i. It is claimed that lie was entered in that race as an entire horse. His next start was at the Harlem track, Chicago. June 11. 1003. It is claimed that lie was entered in that race also as an entire horse. His next start was at Hawthorne track, Chicago, September 18. 1903. In that race he finished second to Chockayotte and it is claimed that he was entered as a gelding. Tlie records of these western tracks for tiiose dates will probably be produced here before the ease is ended. KolK?rt Tucker, who trained S. S. Browns western string at the time, has been called upon to explain why the description of the young racer was changed between the months of June and September when there had been no operation performed.
