THE MORNING OREGONIAN. "WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1909 9 BETTING MEN Wl May Publish Advance Informa tion About Races. LARGE LOOPHOLE IN LAW Test Case Under New York Law Clears Men Arrested Last Year and Allows Distribution of Advance Sheets. - ALB AM. x. Y.. June 1. The Court of Appeals today derided in effect that the dispensing of advance raring in formation on the Brighton Beach track last July was not a violation of the anti-racetrack Rambling laws. The court unanimously affirmed the de cision of the lower court sustaining the demurrer interposed l.y William Knsre- mann. Christopher Fitzgerald, president of the Brighton Beach Racing Associa tion, and John C. KavamuiBh. who, it was auegen. were responsible for the is suance of the advance sheets. Thry were indlcfed as "common gamblers.' but demurred on the ground that the acts complained of did not constitute a crime. The question before the court was whether the advance information meet was advice and apparatus for gamming within the term of the penal code. LARGE LOOPHOLE IS MADE Allows Bookmakers to Distribute In formation on Races. NHW YORK.' June 1. Bookmakers and others interested in racing consider the derision of the Court of Appeals today as making another loophole in the Hart Agnew anti-betting law.

In retaliation for the defeat recorded against them earlier In the season, the single men" team of the Portland t rlcket Club , took the benedicts into camp Monday to the tune of 97 runs to 41. The victory was mainly owing to the work of Copplnger. the new "pro," who played for the aspirants to marital honors. Coppinger put up a capital 27 and put the kibosh on three for 23 runs. J. Clarke made a better bowling show ing, capturing five wickets at an ex penditure of but 15 runs. K. Bailey captured five of the unmar ried men for 4 2, and J. Mallett. who bowled both C. Cumming and Coppin ger with only nine runs scored against his average, was in good form. K. Fen wlck sent three men to the stand for 4rt runs. Quite a considerable crowd witnessed the game, which was characterized by hard hitting and fast scoring, although the bowlers had little the better of the argument, as usual. The development of the curve theory among local play ers is considered responsible for this. In the interval between innings Sec retary C. Cumming. who joined the ranks of the benedicts but a week ago, was presented with a handsome cut glass service by the members of the club. The individual scores follow: Singles. M.

SERVICE BADLY CRIPPLED Ironworkers on Skyscraper Send Shower or Bolts and Timbers, on Passing Car Power-House Men May Strike. PHILADELPHIA, June i'. The first ordinary business day since the Defin ing of ttfe streetcar strike Saturday morning closed with conditions prac tically unchanged. Seven hundred of the 3300 cars ran until nightfall, when no lurther attempt was made to con tinue the traffic. There was little disorder, and those arrested were held on trivial charges. The most serious outbreak of the day occurred at noon, when ironworkers employed at a 12-story building under construction at Thirteenth and Chest nut streets attacked a car. Stones, iron bolts and small timbers were thrown through the windows of the car. No one was injured. Several hundred new men brought from other cities and picked up here since "the" strike was originated, have been put to work under the protection of the police. In all parts of the city people are walking to and from their places of employment, most of them compelled ! to do so because of the Jack -of trans portation facilities, but thousands from choice, through sympathy for the men. The -Reading, Pennsylvania and Balti more & Ohio railroads are carrying more than 90 per cent of the people from the outlying sections. Each com pany has opened new ticket windows and extra equipment has been drawn from other sections to handle the in creased traffic.
