12 THE MORNING OREGONIAX. SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 190S. BALLOT IS WINNER James R. Keene's Horse First in Suburban Handicap. TRACK RECORD IS BROKEN Favorite of Crowd All but Smashes World's Fastest Time for Mile and Quarter Court Enjoins Police. NEW YORK, June 19.-Ba!lot. a sturdy 4-year-old son of Voter, at Slieepshead Bay today carried the famous white Tith blue polka-dot colors of James R. Keene to victory in the Suburban handi cap, the premier racing event of the I'nited States. Ballot won with ease by lengths. StruK.clinjr jsamely forward at the finish came James 10. Madden's :j-year-old colt, Kine James, hard driven by Guy Burns, five lensths before Fair Play, the pride of August Belmont's sta ble. Master Robert was fourth. The time for the mile and a quarter was 2:03, being one-fifth of a second flower than the world's record for the distance, made by Broomstick at Brigh ' ton Beach July 9. lVi. Broomstick was a 3-year-old and curried KM pounds. Bal lot's impost was 127 pounds. The enforcement of the new law sainst betting had Its effect upon the attendance, for not more than 20,"00 per sons passed through the gatcg to wit ness the classic event. Under the old conditions stands would have groaned under the weight of at least 30.000 souls, while the great stretches of greensward and the betting rings would have been crowded with humanity. Ballot Strong Favorite. Twelve horses faced the barrier for the $2o,000 stakes and the honor of winning the race. Ballot was the favorite at 8 to 5, with Master Robert second choice at 4 to 1. King James ruled at 6 to 1, and I-alr Play at 7 to 1. The other horses were quoted from 10 to 60 to 1. Ballot delayed the start five minutes. "When, the barrier rose King James broke in front, with Master Robert second, Tou renne third and Ballot fourth. For a fur long King James kept the lead, though Xotter, on Ballot, was passing those in front of him and bearing down on the leader. Passing the furlong pole, the Voter colt took command, and thenceforward it was easy sailing for him. Two lengths to the good. Notter took Ballot up and raced him In easy fashion around the upper turn, though even at that pace was fast enough to set the field behind him dizzy. Turning into the stretch. Ballot led by three lengths and Burns shook up King James and gradually drew away from Tourenne, on whom the pace was be ginning to tell. Easy Winner at Wire. At the wire Ballot was the easiest kind of pinner and King1 James as easily de feated Fair Play for the place. The others were beaten off. There w'as considerable betting on the races today. It was easier to lay a wagtr than on any previous day since the new anti-betting law went into ef fect, because counsel for the Coney Island Jockey Club early in the day se cured an injunction restraining the police from interfering with the orderly gath ering of crowds of persons in any por tion of the grounds. Previously the po lice had forbidden gatherings of threo or more persons. The fact that Justice Bischoff, of the Supreme Court, had granted the restrain ing rrler was telephoned to the track immediately and a large number of the' 300 police who were present to see that the law was enforced left the Incisure. There remained, however, a number suf ficient for all emergencies. No arrests were made during the afternoon. Jlesults of the Day. Six and one-half furlongs Baby Wolf won, Bouquet second, Wontasula third; time 1:19. Mile Monopolist won, Roslmro second, Julia Powell third: time 3:40.

FIRST SUCH CONTEST HERE Club Lately Formed by Local Sports men Lake Fitted for Trials on Last Side Programme for the Season. The Portland Fly Casting Club, which has recently been organized, will hold Its first fly-casting contest this afternoon on the Hazel Fern Lake at East Thirty-ninth street and the Base Line road. The club haa a splen did membership and a set of officers who are enthusiastic anglers. From the interest which the members, are taking in the organization, the club bids fair to beoome a prominent one. Portland has a great many fishermen but they have given little thought or attention to distance and accuracy in fly-casting. To those who love to fish for trout with a fly, the club will be 1 a great school, for the schedule of contests ar ranged by the club will give both those who are steeped with the knowledge of how to use the fly and those who know very little about the delicate art a chance to enjoy the sport. Hazel Fern Lake is open to the club members every day, excepting when contests are on. The officers of the organization are: President, Dr. W. M. Campbell; vice president, A. L. Tetu; secretary and treasurer. Burr Struble. W. F. Backus is captain and the 'executive commit tee is made up of J. N. Teal, G. W. Brown and J. C. Morris. :The first con test of the club wits to have been held May 23, but owing to a delay in' get ting the casting platform up, and be cause of other unlooked-for delays, the opening contest was postponed until this afternoon at 2:30.

YOUNG MARSHALL made a good Im pression on the San Francisco base ball scribes. He held the Oaks safe until he weakened In the eighth. It just shows that the lad wasn't ready for a gruelling contest. Barney Schrieher, the genial German breeder and bookmaker, says that he be lieves the Paris mutual system of betting is here to stav. A few more stunts like the one that Governor Htrghes pulled off in New York and there won't be any change needed in the betting system. Now that Portland is away from home. local baseball fans will get a chance to see the game as it is played by the Tri City Leaguers. This league furnishes a nice article of ball and the games are worth seeing. Racing begins this afternoon at the Meadows, and a number of Portlanders will journey over to Seattle just to see the gee-gees romp around the circle. ' Roily Zeider. the Seal shortstop, leads the league in stolen bases and Helny Heitmuller has pounded out the most homers. Ote Johnson must have exploded in yesterday's game. Perhaps, had Ote started in the season working in the box he would do, but It is a dangerous experi ment to try to win games with a pitcher who has not been working in the box for several years, this late in the season, when all the batters arc going their best. Portland still has three games with Oakland. The way our pitchers have been getting theirs, we will bo lucky to scratch two out of the seven. Kentucky Bars Bookmakers. LEXINGTON, Ky., June 19. The State Racing Commission today refused to al low the re-establishment of bookmaking on Kentucky racetracks by a unanimous vote. They decided in favor of the Paris mutual machine as being the best thing for racing. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS PrMnt Vi?w "R4al Kstate Company to Paul and EUrn Sprakwtn, lots 13, 14, Work 2rt.

Leach, a bartender, belonging to the union, attempted to commit sui cide yesterday evening at 6 o'clock at the foot of Washington street by Jump ing into the river. Two young men who did not give their names pulled him out before he had had time'to sink and was still conscious, and then someone In the office 01 Jr-age c son, commission merchants, telephoned to the police station for the patrol wagon. Wet and talking as though he might bo demented. Leach was taken to the City Jail and locked up on the charge of being drunk. When first taken to the station he complained to the jailor that he had made a "botch job of it this time" and asked if the jailor wouldn't let him have his revolver so that he could finish it. After his wife had called and supplied him with dry clothing he told another story and Bald that he had been drinking a little and had stood leaning against the railing of the dock when he accidentally slipped and fell in. This story is, how ever, discredited by the police. Leach is 60 years of age and is well known among the bartenders of thia city, where he has worked for years. He was last employed at the Pup Sa loon, 375 Third street. His friends say that his effort last night to end his Ufa arose from a disordered mind and not from any financial or other troubles. VISIT THE ACME PARLORS Headquarters for Baseball Returns and Fans. The Acme Billiard nd Pool Parlors, opposite The Oregonian, which have been opened by Brown & McCredie, are the most elaborate in the West, and arrangements have been made to have the baseball returns promptly bul letined. This will be headquarters for the Portland and other baseball teams and, naturally, the many local patrons of the game. The Acme has 35 fine pool and bil llartj tables and the latest equipment to make It the finest in the land. Gun Was Too Long. It developed' yesterday that the loss of a revolver suffered by Patrolman Porter early yesterday morning, when an in toxicated man under arrest on the street escaped from his custody, after having fired a shot at the bluecoat with his own weapon, was due to the peculiar make and size of the firearm. Its barrel was of unusual length and it is to this cir cumstance is attributed the fact that the prisoner secured possession of it and made his escape.. When the police offi cer was felled by a blow from a bottle In the hands of his prisoner the long barrel of his weapon struck the sidewalk and was dislodged from Its scabbard, dropping out within easy reach of the unruly prisoner, who promptly picked it up and fired it at the officer point blank and ran. No special blame is attached to Patrolman Porter. Will Throw Open Corean Mines. SEOUL, June 19. The Collbran-Bost-wick claim to certain mines' in Corea haa been, amicably settled by an agreement reached between the American Ambassa dor at Tokio. the Japanese Residency General at Seoul and the Corean gov ernment. This agreement will mean, among other things, a complete revision of mining affairs in Corea and the in troduction of terms more favorable to foreigners. STRAWBERRIES have held the boards this week again as the popular favorite. The weather, which may have been unfriendly to some other things, seems to have been suited to them exactly, for they are unusually large and fine, remarkably evenly ripened. Fancy samples are selling at three boxes for 25 cents. The tendency In price is downward, and the coming week will probably see them considerably reduced. Owing to the lateness of the season, cherries are not yet very plentiful and bring 25 cents for three pounds. Some dealers rather fear they may not fill the public eye and tb!e juvenile stom ach this Summer in the time-honored prodigal abundance of Oregon, but the crop may turn out better than it now promises. New arrivals in market this week are red currants large, fine samples two boxes for 25 cents; peaches. 20 cents a dozen, and the first of Oregon raspberries at 25 cents a pound. Grapes (the small green va riety) are also newcomers at 35 cents a pound. Apricots are plentiful and cheaper at 30 cents and 25 cents a bas ket and. in larger quantities, at $1.40 a crate of four boxes. California plums are 40 cents a basket. Pineapples are plentiful at 25 cents each, and a large choice variety, known as the "Ha waiian sugar loaf," was in market at 50 cents each. Oranges, 20 cents to BO cents per dozen. Cantaloupes, two for 25 cents. Extra large bananas bring 40 cents a dozen, and grape fruit 60 rents to 90 cents a dozen. Gooseber Nothing so strengthening and sustaining in all kinds of weath er, outdoors or indoors, as the whole wheat when it is prop erly prepared for the stomach. is the food that gives the maxi mum of strength with the least tax upon the digestive organs. "FORGE" is the "predigested energy" of wheat and barley. Try it for breakfast. " FORCE " is made of the best white wheat, steam-cooked, rolled into thin flakes, combined with the purest barley-malt nd baked. Always " crisp" it before serving it by pouring into a pan and warming it in oven. Then serve in large dish with cream, piling the flakes in one side of the dish and pouring the cream in the other side, dipping the flakes as eaten. V. Your grocer sells it.
