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.

FLY-CASTERS MEET
Portland Experts With Rod
Hold Competition Today.
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. The
schedule for the season's contests fol
low: June 20 Long-distance fly, delicacy and

BY WILL G. MAC RAE.
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.

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

up and fired it at the officer point blank
and ran. No special blame is attached
to Patrolman Porter.
