In the sixth Portland pulled out of a
tight box after Flannery and Shaffer, the
first two men up, had made singles. With
two men on the bases and none tout it
looked as if Helena would certainly score,
but two flies to Van Buren and one to
Weed settled the next three men.
Things became dangerous In the eighth

Flannery on the bases. Shaffer hit to
Delsel and Flannery was caught, at sec

The Associated Press is authorised to
glva most emphatic contradiction to tho
report that J-PIerpont Morgan intends to
retire from active business life on Ms re

The confessed inefficiency of tho postal
telegraph service is revealed in a circular
of instruction to the effect that a con
siderable percentage of the 3000 operators
employed in the central office at London
are inexperienced and Inefficient, and di
rects operators at outside offices to adapt
their rate of working to the capacity of
receivers in the central office. Austen
Chamberlain, Financial Secretary of the
Treasury, endeavored to explain the mat
ter in the House of Commons on tho
theory that "there must always be many
recruits employed, but older telegraphers
deny this, and point out that years of in
struction were required formerly, while
now only three months is exacted before
actual sen-ice Is begun. The inefficiency.
It is asserted, is due wholly to new eco

Helena teams, and this time It was Port
land's turn to carry oft the victory. The
contest yesterday broko the season's
record in this city for the length of time
consumed In deciding which was the bet
ter team. But 70 minutes were, required
to play the game, a remarkably fast rec
ord, considering the number of run's
made.
"With the exception of some poor work
by Zlegler In the first two Innings the
playing by both - teams was brilliant
throughout. Fast fielding was the order
of the day. Both "Werner and Slagle
were In good form and did good box work.
"Werner was touched up for -the most hits
but the nine made oft of his delivery were
kept pretty well scattered and not one
of them was for more than one base. For
once in the history of the -Portland ball
team the lads were able to hit at the right
time: All but one of the hits made by
the locals were made' In the third inning,
when threo singles and two doubles scored
the four runs that won the game.
Xew Umpire Docs Good Worlr.
Chauncey Fisher, the new league um
pire, arrived on the scene and officiated at
yesterday's game. Fisher made a good
Impression at his first appearance and
umpired a good game, He is an ex

been on the slab for nearly all of . the big
Eastern teams.
As In the contest on the day previous,
the locals started their fielding with a
double. Hannlvan got to first on a hit
and Peeples followed by lining the ball
out to Delsel, who quickly touched sec
ond and sent the ball to "Weed, retiring
:both the baserunners. Following this
came some bad work on the part of Zleg

telephone pole bat It looked as If Helena
could not help but score, but a foul fly to
Muller ended the Inning.
In Portland's half of the first Muller
heat out a ball to first, but he got no
further than secon'd. Zlegler made an
other bad play In the second, which pre
etnted a run to Helena without any other

game. at Seattle.
history. In the third heat of tho $50,000
race between Lord Derby, owned by E.
E. Smlthers, of New York, and Boralma,
of which Thomas "W: Lawson, of Boston,
Is the owner, the latter horse sustained an
Injury which caused him to be drawn,
and the race was given to Lord Derby.
The result was a bitter disappointment,
not only to the owner of the Boston horso,
but to tho general public, which to tho
number of 15.000 congregated at Charter
Oak Park. The injury to Boralma is such
that he will probably be prevented from
racing for some time. In scoring, the
Boston horse gashed the quarter of his
'nigh fore leg badly, and was unable to
start in the fourth eat.
The day was perfect for racing. A light
breeze prevailed, but It was not strong
enough to Interfere with the speed of the
horses. 'The trapk was in splendid. shape,
and everything was favorablo to record
breaking time. Among the celebrities who
occupied boxes were "William C "Whitney
and B. F. Tracy, both ex-Secretaries of
the Navy. I
Lord Derby was a hot favorite in tho
'betting. Just before tho first heat odds
of 2 to 1 were freely offered on him.
"When Boralma won the first heat the odds
wero- even, and at the close of the second
heat, which was won by Lord Derby, they
shifted decidedly in favor of the latter.
The racers came on the track shortly
after 3 o'clock, both being greeted by
prolonged cheering. Geers. driving Lord I
Derby, won the toss for position, and '
chose the pole. After scoring threo j
times, during which Geers showed a dis
position to hold back Lord Derby, Starter
Walker gave the word to go. The Boston !
horse outstepped Lord Derby from the
first. He took possession of the polo at
tho first turn and held it all the way.
Tho horses were about a length apart until
the home stretch was reached. As they
came toward the wire Lord Derby swerved
and broke, and Boralma came under the
wire four lengths ahead in 2:08. Loud
cheering marked the finish of the heat.
Tho horses got off promptly In the sec
ond heat, and Boralma led until the dis
tance pole was passed. Then Lord Derby
drew up and shot by Boralma. The Bos
ton horse followed gamely and rallied,
but the rally was followed by a break,
and ho crossed the wire two lengthsbe
hlnd Lord Derby. In this heat Boralma
showed signs of lameness. Time, 2:09$.
In tho third heat Boralma once more
took the lead at the start, but his advan
tage was shortlived. He broko at tho
first turn and again at the stretch. As
the racers came toward the wire. It was
plainly evident that something serious had
happened to Boralma, for he went to
pieces. Geers pulled Lord Derby in order
not to distance his unlucky rival, and al
lowed Boralma to cqme within a length of
him at the wire. Time, 2:1SV.
As soon as the heat was over the an
nouncer called for a veterinary surgeon.
Dr. Low, of Boston, responded, and found
that Boralma had been so badly Injured
J that he could race no more today. Con
sequently, wun tne consent or tne judges,
he was drawn.
In order to fulfill tho requirements of
tho match. Lord Derby trotted tho next
heat alone, and was then awarded' the
victory. After the last heat had been trot
ted, Lord Derby, accompanied by a run
ner, trotted an exhibition mile in 2:08.
After the accident Boralma .was taken
to his quarters and Dr. Low set to work
on the animal. He said the wound was
the result of the horso over-reaching, and
that the gash cut In the leg was four
inches in length. He was unable, to siy
if tho horse had been permanently in
jured. T. D. Marsh, who drove Boralma.
said he was unable to tell Just when tho
Brown's Hyphen, ridden by Odom. gal

Major Daingerfleld was always favorite,
closing at even money, with Hyphen sec
ond choice at 6 to 5. Homestead was at
8 to L
Tho start was good. Hyphen broke In
front, the favorite second. Ab they passed
the stand the first time Hyphen was in
the lead by half a length and gqing easy,
with tho Major second. This order was
maintained around the first turn and in'
the back stretch. Homestead was now
beaten, -unable to keep up with the fast
pace. Nearing the fiveeighths pole Odom
let his mount have his head," and In a
twinkling he bounded forVrard and opened
a gap of two lengths op ' the iavorite.
Bounding into the stretch Hyphen was
galloping, while the Major was under whip
and epur, until Shaw, realizing he had
no chance to win. eased up his mount.
Hyphen galloped home , four lengths in
front of Major Daingerfleld, who beat
Homestead nearly a sixteenth of a mile.

Calmer estimates of tho significance of
tho unprecedented Liberal victory in
this week's Parliamentary election in
Leeds Indicates little real' basis for - the,
alleged renewed hopes that the Liberals
are gaining control of the gpvernrnent.
The government has been soundly lectured
and soundly warned "this week, not only by
Its opponents, but also by some of Its
Journalistic supporters: but tho opposi
tion's enthusiastic prophecies about early
getting together of all branches of the op
position were pretty effectually squelched
by Lord Rosebery's dispassionate reitera
tion that he has no Intention of aban
doning the imperialistic platform, and
the equally stubborn contention of the
Radicals that they will not relinquish
home mle as a standard partj Issue.
In politely deploring Lord Rosebery 8
utterances, the. Liberal organ disappoint
edly remarks: ' "We do not think Lord
Rosebery quite realizes the passionate
desire for unity that exists among Lib
erals throughout- the country,- nor the
passionate ' desire to arrive at it with or
without' leadership." .
The paper pcolds the Liberal leaders for
their folly In splitting hairs yat a time
when the government 'Is floundering In
the labyrinths of tho patched-up educa
tion bill, and Is "revealed to the country'
to be -without aim or policy."
At a meeting of the Anglo-American
Telegraph Company, the chairman, Fran
cis A. Bevan, said nothing had occurred
so far as he knew to alter the opinion
of the directors that, although wireless
telegraphy would, carry a, certain class of
telegrams, such as those between ships
or between ships and the shore, thero was
no reason apparent why It would compete
in the class of telegrams sent by cable
companies. During a conversation the
other day with Lord Kelvin, the latter
said to Mr. Bevan:
- "I have given careful consideration to
this subject, and I do not believe the
shareholders of your company need be
alarmed at tho prospect of wireless
telegraphy."
: Surgeon-General Hamilton, before ameet
lng of the British Medical Association at

that General Sir Redvers Buller, during

taking ammunition to the front, and armed
the bearer companies,, using them as
escorts. Tho Surgeon-General declared his

available. It Is considered extraordinary'
that in tho entire telegraph service no
typewriters are used, except for a few In
the foreign departments.
Tho funeral services in memory of J.

Lord Rosebery. Sir Edgar Vincent and
others. Many notable persons and al
most the entire town of Newmarket
marched in the funeral procession. John
Watts was known as "The Grand Old

THE FLAGLER MILLIONS.
Foundlings Establish Kinship to
Millionaire's Demented "Wife.
NEW YORK. Ag. 2. Evidence, hun
dreds of pages of It. has been taken by
J. E. Hedges, referee, who has prepared
his report for the Supreme Court as to
kinship of relatives of Ida Flagler, for
merly wife of Henry M. Flagler, of the
Standard Oil Company. The estate of
Mrs. Flagler, which has been in charge of
committees since she was declared to be
incompetent, amounted to $2,273,000 on Au
gust 4, 1S99. and has increased. The net
income runs from $116,000 to $117,000 a year.
An Important point in the proceeding
was whether Mr. Flagler had. through his
divorce, lost his interest In the estate of
his wife if she should die first. Mr. Flag
ler laid no claim to such an interest,
but the question had not been judicially
determined. The referee will report that
Mr. Flagler has no interest whatever in
the estate.
A mass of evidence was sifted as to how
