By consent, he pitched for fan Fram- cisco against Fresno, and the score was : to 0. Not only did Randolph shut out the opposing team, but he struck out six men, allowed only sever hits, assisted in a double play and proved a \\'ohvicr‘ for an amateur at the bat.

NEW YORK, May 31.—Racing at Belmont Park today was replete with incidents. When Toots Mook was dis- qualified after finishing first in the first race $25,000 bet on her by the Rainey brothers went to .the book- makers. Botanist, a 30 to 1 choice, won the second race and the ring paid out $60,000 to a new turfman Who backed him at these long odds. Last, but not least, two of John A. Drake's horses lost races they should have won easily if Drake's jockey, Garner, had not made fatal blunders. The stewards hit the Rainey broth- ers hard when they disqualified Toots Mook, buf they could not do otherwise than take .the race away from her. She plainly fouled Lord of the Forest and the latter interfered with W { which was on the outside. Garner w | forced to pull up Wes in the-last fifty |vards to keep the horse on his feet. The foul occurred while Toots Mook, Lord of the Forest and Wes were rac- ing down the home stretch. Toots Mook was the pacemaker and held a two-lerigth lead turning into the stretch. for home. When straightened out she began to swerve. Just as she did so Lord of the Forest and Wes moved up on the outside and at- tempted to pass her. Both horses were | sériously interfered with. Wes was the prineipal sufferer. As the two dashed past the winning post Toots Mook was a head in front |of Lord of the Forest, with Wes third, a length back. Miller, who rode Lord of the Forest, and Garner made claims of foul. As the interference. had occurred right un der the eyes of the stewards they sim ply heard the protest, but refused te hear the statements of the jockeys. They then ordered Toots Mook's num- |ber taken down and awarded the race |to Lord of the Forest, with Wes sec- jond and Hot Toddy third.. The decision saved the hookmakers | $100,000, as Paul J. and R. A. Rainey/ | the young muiti-millionaire turfmen | of Cincinnati, stood to ¢ash nearly that {sumeon Toots Mook.

L, May 31— Nineteen two-year-old horses belong- ing to the estate of William C. Whitney were sold in the paddock before the races at Belmont Park today. The star of the sale was the bay filly by Ham- burg-Rose Standish. which was pur- chased by Harry Payne Whitney for $11,000. Killicrankie was also sold to Mr. Whitney * for $4200, and Jersey Lady for $3100. Joekey Jay Ransch Injured. PARIS, May 31.—Vanderbilt's jockey, Jay Ransch, had a bad fall at Chantilly, but will probably be able to ~ mount agaim in two weeks. Vanderbilt's dorse Prestige continues to be the crack of the year. In an important race at Chantilly recently all other competitors were scratched, as the owners saw no chance, thus giving Prestige o walkover. HEALTH BOARD OPPOSES CUT The Board of Health was much agi- tated yesterday at the report that its eéxpenses were to be reduced in the framing of the budget. Dr. Ward, the president, declares ‘the Yboard needs money and extra help now more than it ever did before. he running ex- penses of the Health Department have increased, if anything, in the last month, he says. it is proposed by the Board of Su- pervisors to reduce the running ex- pénses of the Pesthouse by $3000 and the executive office by $5640. As yet there is no provision contémplated in the budget for the removal of garbage from the camps of the refugees. Despite the fact that officials of the Spring Valler Water Company assert that the water is now pure enough to drink the board decided not to with- draw the cautlon concerning it. Con- sumers are warned to boil all water before yaing it for drinking or cooking purposes. O~ [ el e e gy r n made in he 4 against the fly pest.

CHICAGO, May 31.—Fire starting in a clothes closet on the second floor of the Wingsor-Clifton Hotel, Monroe street and Wabash avenue, shortly be- fore 3 o'clock this morning, spread be- tween the walls to the fourth floor. The fire waa discovered when smoke pene- | trated the room of a guest on the third floor, who notified the night clerk. The bellboys were ordered to arouse all guests and assist them to safety. Ed- ward Rice of St. Lows, one of the first guests awakened, ran to the elevators and assisted the night watchman in awakening guests and assisting women from their rooms. A general panic among the guests followed the discovery of the fire, 4nd many fled half-clad into the office of the hotel. Others, even clad, ran to the fire escapes and prepared to leave if the fire spread. Policemen were sent to guard the property in the hotel The firemen prevented the spread of the flames beyond the fourth floor. Following the arrival of the firemen first to reach the hotel a second call was sent for apparatus to prevent the spread of the flames, which seemed to be confined to the center of the east side of the building. None of the guests of the hotel was injured in the panic following the dis- covery of the fire. The clerk of the | hotel was unable to account for the fire starting in the closet, but suggested spontaneous combustion as a cause. The damage Is estimated at $2000. B S I RTR R STORY OF UNCLEANLINESS OF STOCKYARDS CORROBORATED Agent Declares Lard In Which Man and Boy Were Accidentally Bolled Altve Was Sold. CHICAGO, May 31.—Corroboration of stories that men have fgllen into the rendering caldrons at the stock yards and that their flesh has been converted into lard came today. A. M. Simmons, who for more than three years was the agent of the Chicago Bureau of Charities at its stock yards stationm, furnished the confirmation of the sto- ries told by Upton Sinclair in “The Jun- gle” and otl..ers. ‘The cases that came directly under his notice were those of a boy 15 years ld and the child's father. “I think the name was Hammond, or mmethmfi similar,” Simmons said. “The family lived in a tenément in West Forty-seventh street, near Ashland avenue. The Boy went too near one of the steam caldrons, which was not pro- tected in any way, and fell in. One day only a few weeks after the boy's deat the father fell into the same vat. There was no special effort made to get him out. The flesh of man and of his boy went on with the rendered meat in the caldron and in due timé was placed in buckets and sold on the market.” CATTLEMEN AID PACKERS.

Who had been brought there and Who | were seemingly too far gone to be re- | stored were put out of the way he has written the following statement: “To refute the prevailing rumeor that | patients were humanely killed in the | temporary emergency hospital estab- |lished im the Mechanics’ Pavillon on the morning of the earthquake in or- | der that they should not be incinerated | alive would you kindly publish the fol- | lowing authentic history of the Emer- | gency Hospital work on that memors able morning: “Immediately after the dome of the | City Hall fell and obstructed the usual lexits of the Central Emergency Hos- | pital Dr. Arthur MeGinty, the surgeon {on duty, with the assistance of the hospital attendants and Police Officer | Parquet, removed safely “to the Me- | chanies” Pavilion the sixteen patients | that were in the hospital at the time. | Much eredit is due to Officer Parquet in remov the six insane patients contained in the Detention Hospital at that time. Within a few minutes after the temblor the temperary emergency | hospital in the pavilion ~was over | whelmed with work, but thanks te the | professional services rendered by vol- | unteers, the work was very satisfac- |torily handled and the 330 patients {treated in that short time were made | very comfortable indeed considering |the cireumstances. However, the fire speedily threatened the pavilion and it was deemed best to meve out of the danger line, but the bullding took fire before more than a start could be | made. Personal safety was unthought | of by the many that helped to move the | patients into the impressed wagons and automobiles that crowded the exits of the building, and the patients were soon on their way to the different hos- pitals outside of the danger zone. ‘To be positive that nebody was overlooked 1 personally made a minute search of the building and was satis- fled when I left that it was empty. The male patients were on their way -to the General Hospital at the Presidio, the women to the California General and the children’s hospitals and the dead were taken by the Coromer. All appliances, bedding. instruments and medieines were saved and sent to Gold- en Gate Park, where an emergency hospital was immediately established on the lawn. C. F.
