FRANK BEATS SPRINTERS Jockey's Poor Riding and Judgment Spoil All Chance of Cascade of Diamonds Winning in ' the Third Event. v J. O. Toole's H. I. Frank, when ho tiptoed his field In the Pommery handi cap yesterday, hung up the track record lor the distance and now has the 'honor of holding the track record for both the five and six furlongs. Frank started In the five furlong sprint race on Saturday, raced his field into submission, smashing the record then and yesterday he came right back, meeting a lot of the fleetest sprinters quartered at the track, broke another record and need the field behind him dizzy, winning by four lengths. He raced the distance In 1:1314 and all that T. Clark had to do was to sit still and let the rest of them fight It out. The bookies took great liberties with H. L. Frank took them because he has been, known to have been left at the post. His owner has dumped a cartload of money on him at various times and be cause he did not deliver the goods he has been In bad repute. Those who have been watching him, however, took sti chance with him yesterday and eagerly , grabbed a bundle of the 4 to 1 that was slated against him. MIsty's Pride was made favorite. She was oft In front and stayed there until Clark set to work on Frank at the half-mile post. All the boy had to do was to shake him up a little and he ran away from Oregon's pride, and he won In a'buck Jump, with his head in the Boy's lap. MIsty's Bride beat Judge, who was slow to begin, but closed with a rush, by a length and a half. Toupee might have done better with a stronger boy up. Laldlaw, a big striding fellow with speed to burn, found the turns too short and in consequence he ran a bad race. Tenordalc's Smashing Itacc. 1. Powell made a mess of the third race. He had a leg up over "Tobe" Ramsey's newly acquired Cascade of Diamonds, and. but for the boy's wretched performance, the little chestnut might have won. As it was the race was won by Tenordale, who was off last and ran a smashing race. Powell came within an ace of hoisting Arestallator and League over the Infield rail. He finished second with Cascade of Diamonds, but the Judges very promptly put him last. Arestallator was a hot l-to-2 favorite and League had him In a nice place when they rounded for the wire. Powell must have been crazy with the heat, for when he saw Arestallator coming, he swung Diamond toward .the rati, leaning over on him as he-was about to pick up gold close to the rail. Loague saw there was plenty of room to get through, but Just aa he made his move. Powell swung his mount over and he had to pull up. In the meantime Butler was hustling Tenordale along and he got up In-time to win by a nose. "When Cascade of Diamonds was disqualified Chief Wlttman was placed second and Arestallator third. The first race on the card brought to gether was won by Silver Heels. Yes terday Silver Heels had a boy up that knew something. He avoided the early Jam and in spite of the fact that he went to the post a bit sore, Loague took him to the front at once. After that there was nothing but heels for the rest of the party, with Loague sitting still waiting for the end of the Journey, which was finished four lengths In front of Stand ard, who beat the favorite. Sacrcdus. Sacredus was pinched out of It after the Btart, and although he made up some ground and finished gamely, he did not have the foot to catch the leader. Happy Chappy a Winner. Graham rode another of his nicely timed waiting races with Happy Chappy. Ho was off well, but he took Chappy back, avoiding the early pace, and then he let him down and closed with a rush, beat ing Aurora B half a length. Miss Provo, who, many of the wise ones thought, had the race in, ran a poor race and was lucky to get Inside the money. Procras tinate was stricken with that "tired feel ing" and ran a poor race. Seventy and Agnes Mack both had a case of tangle foot and were sadly messed about shortly after the. start, and if they ever had a chance, it was killed off. Some of those who were on-the Inside made a little clean-up on Dlxelle, who won the fifth race The nimble-footed daughter of Sir Dixon opened at 10 to 1- When the money began unloading, the chalkers became busy, and when they went to the post, she nad been backed down to 7 to 1. B". Powell took her to the front right after the start, and made a show of the field. Going .down the back stretch Dlxelle was ten lengths In front. and when the boy passed under the., wire he had the mare all but pulled up. Badly Used received a big play, but there was too much speed In front of him. He closed with -a rush the last part, and was sec ond by two -lengths. Penance, a SO-tc-1 shot, was third. Calculate the favorite. had a rough Journey and never had a chance. ( Dotterel Repeats Success. Dotterel, who won the opening race on the first day, was a repeater In the last race. She won the seven, furlong event m a romp, with Ubble Candid, the second choice, nowhere. League took .Dotterel to the front at once. She was chased by Holly Bern, and when she killed her off there was nothing to give her a contest for the money. Wistaria began running at the last quarter, and closed stoutly, Blue Ridge bolted as the barrier went up. and was practically left. Between the fifth and sixth races. Ser geant Hogeboom Journeyed to the track with warrants sworn out for A. R. Dia mond and seven of the bookmakers. All of the warrants were shown to Mr. Dia mond, and -he at once gave Sergeant Hogeboom 5600. the necessary casn Don a demanded by the police officer. The war rants were sworn out by Captain is. v Spencer, who. while he was waiting to see what would happen, stood hanging over the fence from the "upper turn during the -last three races.

MANAGER DIAMOND PUTS UP BAIL FOR ALL. Eight, Are Served at Racetrack by Sergeant Hogeboom From Municipal Court. Manager A. R. Diamond and seven men connected with the Irvington races were arrested yesterday afternoon. Ser geant Hogeboom. proceeding under in structions from Chief of Police Grlti macher. served the warrants on Manager Diamond at the track, and accepted JS03 In coin as ball. . None of the men placed under arrest was asked to go to police headquarters. Sergeant Hogeboom, after accomplishing his mission, returned and handed over the $800 ball to Captain Moore, who wrote the names of those named in the war rants on the docket. Complaint was made by Captain E. w. Spencer, manager of the racestrack property. He appeared In the Municipal Court late in the after noon, accompanied by his attorney, Rich ard W. Montague, demanded the war rants, and they were Issued. Those named in the complaints and Included in the batch of warrants carried to Manager Diamond by Sergeant Hogeboom were: A. R. Diamond. H. L. Jones, William Ayres. Charles McCarthy. John Doe Bos- hwlll, John Humphreys. John Doe Osmond and William Hagur. All of the defendants are charged with conducting and maintaining a gambling device, and the actions were based upon ordinance 4G78, section 5. When the warrants were handed, to Manager Diamond by Sergeant Hogeboom the ball money was immediately fur nished and carried back to the Central Station. The races were not Interrupted in fche least. It Is not known what ac tion will be taken today, should book making continue, but more arrests arc ex pected in this event. Owing to the, great volume of business in the Municipal Court, it will be im possible for the cases to be tried today, and it is probablo that all will bo con tinued for several days. Arraignments may be made this morning. A peculiar feature of the case is the fact .that, although City Attorney Mc Nary but a few days ago rendered an opinion to the effect that the municipal ity could not stop bookmaklng. he Is sued the complaints when requested to do so.

Several prominent local athletes are planning a monster benefit In the shape of an athletic carnival to be given to W. O. Trine, better known to the athletic fraternity by the sobriquet of "Dad." who underwent an operation fn this city yesterday whereby his lower Jaw 'was almost entirely removed, owing to a can cerous growth having formed. "Dad" Trine is known all over the Pa cific Coast-as one of the squares t men who ever donned a spiked shoe or handled a track team. He has been connected with athletics, first as an amateur and later as a professional coach all of his life, and has done more toward promoting ath letics on the Coast than almost any man In this locality. Trine was a noted foot racer in his day and later gained prom inence as a runner with hose teams, when that sport was at Its zenith, and of late years haa gained fame as a professional coach, having bef n the Instructor for the past several years of the crack Oregon Agricultural College field and track teams. Manv of the most prominent of 'the ama teur athletes of the Northwest today, owe their early success to the coaching of "Dad" Trine, and these men are the .ones who will come to the front and help the proposed benefit along. The. affair i being planned by Jack King. Bert Kerrigan. ' Frank Lonergan. "Dad" Moulton, Billy Hayward and a .host of others who are putting their shoulders to the wheel, and the affair will undoubtedly prove a success. The date has not yet been decided upon, but will likely be about August 15. ciXBse rxxici. If Bakr Is CslMsi. Twrt. B ssra ast t&at M aaC wH-trtc4 reset. Xrs.

The second day of the Oregon State tour nament witnessed matches, all of which called forth good tennis. The" usual good crowd was in attendance and enjoyed every minute of the time. All the differ ent kinds of tennis, men's singles and doubles, ladies' singles and doubles, and mixed doubles, were played, and this va riety gave additional Interest. Perhaps the most Interesting 'match of the day, and the most closely contested, was that between Miss Fording and Miss King. Both were up to their game, and some of the prettiest rallies ever seen on Mult nomah FielJ were the result. Their long, forehand drives were things of beauty and excited the envy of more than one mascu line onlooker. Miss Fording has steadily Improved her game during the last year or two and is now in a position to make a strong bid for championship honors. Makes Second Appearance. Takakl made his second appearance on the courts and .again demonstrated his skilL His Is largely a back-line game, but his strokes are swift and accurate, and Yte lobs are high and deep. His next match will b with Busch. of San Francisco, and this will, be worth going a long way to see. for Busch has much good tennis in him. "He was the 1SB charaoion of Montana, and. is playing up to his form. The day began with a contest -between Busch and Fenton, which! Busch won with out exerting himself in two straight sets. Venesa, of Wlnlock. defeated Rosen feld in a good states. 2, 7-5. Shives, of Wlnlock. won froa Smith by default. Andrews won from Ladd. In two straight sets by comfortable scores. Takakl met W. JC Scott, of Irvingtoa. and with the craftiness of Oyassa stormed bis citadel without having' to call Mp his reserve force. Bellinger won from Nunn. -1, 6-2, and Forbes defeated Sargent ia two closely contested seta. la the men's doubles, four matches were aefceaated. but only one was played. The committee has beea rather lenient thus far is . regard to attltlag the con veateace of the players, but hereafter will be mere strict and wtet Insist that pi&yers be ea fekad at the time appointed, or they will be defaulted. .Seeeafeld and West eacoaatered Lead better and Kerrv aad woa Ja two straight seta, S-a.

Diamond, proved to be a very pretty contest. Miss Josephl succeeded in winning the match, but not without some hard work. At 3 o'clock Miss Fording and Miss King came together In the best match .of the day. To those who have watched with some thing of disappointment the lack of pro gress hitherto in the ladies' game this exhibition was excellent. It showed marked progress during the last year. The ladles doubles were very inter esting in spite of the one-sided scores. Mrs. Cook and Miss Carstens defeated Miss Sutherland and Miss Schacfer in two sets, 6-0. 6-1. Both Mrs. Cook and Miss Carstens played strong games. Mrs. Judge and Mrs. Raley went down to de feat before the Misses Fox by the score of 6-2. 6-0. Only one match In the mixed doubles was played. Goss and Miss Weldler demonstrated - their, superiority over Leadbetter and Mrs. Raley, winning in two sets 6-0, 6-3. Because of- the failure of two men who had entered the various events to appear for their matches, provision has been made by the committee for Arthur Remington, of Olympia. and Joe Tyler. of Seattle, two excellent players. Remington was here last week In tho Lewis and Clafk and the International, and showed himself to be a good man. Tyler Is an excellent player and will add considerable more good tennis to the tournament. He Is the equal of the well-known S. L. .Russell, of Seat tle, and plays with him In doubles. Unfortunately, Russell was unable to accompany Tyler, but Remington will play with Tyler, and these two will make a very strong team. Results of the Matches. The results of yesterday's matches were as follows: Men's singles Busch. of San Fran cisco, beat Fenton. 6-2, 6-0: Veness. of Wlnlock. beat Rosenfeld. 6-2. 7-5; Shives. of Wlnlock. beat Smith by de fault; Andrews beat Ladd. 6-1. 6-2; Takakl. of Toklo. beat Scott, 6-1. 6-1; Bellinger beat Nunn. 6-1. 6-2; Forbes beat Sdrgent. 7-5, 6-3.

After two days of rest the local team of Giants will don rfhc spangles this afternoon, their opponents being Rlss Hall's vastly strengthened bunch of SI washes. The Seattle club arrived from Los An geles last evening, and when they ap pear on the diamond at Recreation Park this afternoon they will present a prac tically new line-up. Three new players have joined Hall since the last visit of the Slwash aggregation. They are Out fielder Jim Hart. Inflelder Frlck and Catcher Harper, and In addition to these players. Johnny Kane, the clever little thlrd-sacker. Is again In harness. Trie new material secured by the Seattle club makes a team to be reckoned with, and the locals will have to .hurry to capture the series this week. Tacoma trimmed its rivals for the pen-, nant honors In the opening contest at San Francisco yesterday, and thereby virtual ly put a padlock on the pennant for the first half, for the only chance tne seals have of finding the key Is to win the next six games from the champions. In the opening contest of the local series Bert Jones will pitch for Portland, and Fltzpatrlck will be on the slab for Seattle. Umpire Davis will be on hand this afternoon and a fast and snappy game Is therefore In order, for the star indicator handler keeps the game moving and curtails all unnecessary wrangling.
