Rogers immediate- 1y consulted Harry Payne Whitney, the owner of the horse, and it was de- cided to use discretion, immediately suspending his training operations and to send him to the farm at Brook- dale in the hope that next season he might again be put in training. Mr. Whitney was seen in the club- house and he confirmed the news. It| was easily seen the millionaire horse- | man was not at all pleased with the way the news leaked out, but he said| it was only too true and the turf| was the sufferer. it was expected that Burgomaster would sweep the boards of all the 3-year-old races this season.

POLIGE DEPARTMET HORSEMEN GATHERING AT DENVER FOR THE BlG: ANNUAL MEETING Runners and Trotters of the Highest Class Will Take Part. BY LEE DEMIER. annual nineteen-day racing meet opens at Overland Park Derby day, Baturday, June 16. It promises to be the most successful and satisfactory event of its kind ever held in the Rocky Mountain region. The downtown hotels are rapidly fill- ing up with bookmakers and horsemen from California. The cafe in the Tem- ple Courf building, owned by Fred Koch, Denver’s noted sporting man, is headquarters for the incoming horse- men and bookmakers. G. A. Wahlgreen, secretary of the Denver-Overland Racing Club, is busy getting everything in readiness for the opening of the meeting and predicts that the card for the opening day will be the greatest the Denver people have ever seen. "I have visited tracks all over the country,” said Mr. Wahlgreen, “and have seen the best trotters, pacers and thoroughbreds, and I say without try- ing to overpraise eur track that we have the highest class and the largest number of horses which have ever been assembled for a race meeting before in {the West. We have horses which will leave Denver and g0 to the cities east and west and beat the best horses which will race there. “The Colorade Derby to be run on Derby day will ‘be a great race, but it will not be alone. We have an all-star | cara for that day. The A. T. Lewis & | Son stake will bring out a field of trot- | ters which are seldom seen in one race. | The opening scramble for the runners will bring out a fast field of stake | horses such as Corn Blossom and Fly- |ing Fox, which is running this year under the name Aaron J. will be a bunch of the youngsters which will later appear in the Bennett & Myers stake, and they will put up a good race. There will be one or two other good races as well.” Secretary Wahlgreen has certainly worked hard in raising the class of | sport at Overland Park and deserves | the hearty support of the horsemen and | Denver public in general. | The Denver Derby field will be made | up of the following well known 3-year- |old performers: Miss Topsy, Theo Case, |Lena J., Lord Nelson, May Thern and | valencia. | Fred E. Mulholland, for several years |the popular arnd efficient presiding | judge at Overland, will not return, hav- |ing accepted a similar engagement at |the ninety-day meeting at Seattle. | Judge Mulholland will be succeeded by one of the best judges and recognized authorities on the American turf, Z. G. Stebbins, who has been officiating at Montgomery Park, Memphis, during the spring meeting. Judge Stebbins is known to horsemen the country over as a fearless and impartial official who plays no favorites and is ever on the aiert. Both the runners and harness horses will be started this season by Ed Trig- ler, the competent young man who | made such an enviable record for him- self at Overland last season. The handicapping will again be taken care of by Wally Weaver, whose cour- tesy and capability have never been brought into question by horsemen, all of whom pay him the compliment of placing entire confidence in his judg- ment and rulings. The class of the horses eligible in the Brown Palace Hotel stakes is high. The list includes such well known per- fosmers by Ed Gaylord’s Rubric, M. A, Hathaway's Skillful, W. ... Chambers’ The Major, L. Ezell's Blumenthal, Va- lencia and Lena J.,, Derby candidates; Corrigan and Corn Blossomh, owned by H. E. Rowell, and Kickshaw, the prop- erty of T. Licalzi. The following jockeys are on the ground at Overland Park and are ex- ercising their charges every morning: J. Bullman, G. Bullman, Travers, Bar- rett, Sandy, Moeriarity, F. Sullivan gleton, Dunavan, Fowly, Shillings and Fucon. | in- PARKER, 8. D, June 12.—During a balloon ascension at Monroe today, Bert Ward, the aeronaut, fell from the parachute and was instantly killed. ‘Ward was 45 years old and had been an aeronaut for twenty years. NINE TO HAVE MASCOT IN FATTY COLLING Patrolman Will Display His| Graceful Curves On Eastern Fields. When the baseball team of the San Francisco Police Department goes East | it will take with it the brightest orna- | ment of the force. . Policeman Fatty | Collins will go as a mascot. What will | become of the department without Fat- | ty, Jerry Dinan refuses to say and the Police Commissioners refuse to be in- terviewed on the subject, In the old days Fatty was regarded rather in the light of a jinks. Those of the force who were heavy sleepers on that day when the bricks began to fall just turned over and said, “That's only Fatty Collins trying to start some- thing.” To this day many members of the force attribute the late whatever- you-want-to-call-it to Fatty and he is making the Eastern trip just to kill the reputation that he has gained as a Jinks. When asked if he had anything to do with the earthquake Fatty said, ‘I never started anvthing in my life.” ‘When held down te the question if he had ever started anything, Patty reluctantly admitted that he had start- ed in the last parade, but defended himself by declaring that he did not finish. The serious question in police circles now is what sort of a costume the mas- | cot should wear. The more negli in the matter of dress suggest that he wear his usual look of pained sur- prise and what he had on when the earthquake came. Jerry Dinan, who has some taste in the matter, declares that Fatty must go in Fauntleroys. This costume it is maintained is best suited to his figure. He has a figure that is unique and distinct even in the police department, where there are a great variety of figures. “Well, if I must be the mascot 1 must,” said Fatty in a resigned man- ner yesterday. “Though, glory be, ‘tis little I know about the game. Many's the bat I've seen and many the ball T've seen others take, but niver the bat or ball I've had of me own.” Just then the dinner bell rang. — TORPEDO FLEET TO BE SENT TO PHILIPPINE STATION Small Boats te Be Dispatched After Being Put Through a Course of Trials, WASHINGTON, June 12.—The Navy Department has been notified that the little fleet of torpedo boats which has been gathered at Norfolk for the pur- pose of being sent out to the Philip- pines has been completed so far as the constructors. and engineers are con- cerned, and the boats are now to be put through a course of trials to as- certain any weakness or faults, so that these may be corrected on the home station at minimum expense. These trials will probably eccupy at least four months, so it will be late in the year before the fleet will be ready to start on its long voyage. The boats of the new fleet are all simple torpedo boats, the Bagley, Bar- ney, Biddle, Tingley, Thornton and Shubrick averaging in displacement only about 165 tons. It is believed that it may be necessary to assist the little boats by towing them when their coal supply runs low and the weather is such that they cannot be coaled from the convoying ship and experiments will be made before the fleet sails to determine the ability of the convoying ship to handle the boats in towing line. e S R UNIVERSITY OF PACIFIC WILL SOON BE GOOD AS NEW Exte: ve Improvements and Under Way at Institution in Garden City.

Smith put up the best game of the season. He was there with the goocds every minute. The heady left fielder figured in four put-outs and did well with the stick. Brick Devereaux at the slab in the sixth inning handed O'Brien a bunch of talk ©n the curves he was putting over the slab. connected with the ball for a foul “Around the Horn!” he yelled as the ball stand. At the end of the second inning Oak- land was in the lead with three tallies. This was increased in the fourth by another run, the result of one of Van Haltren's two-base hits, which brought in Graham. Van made the only com- bination of two-sack connections that were made in the game. Hildebrand was on deck with a| three-bagger in the sixth, which]| reached the fence in the right garden. | Irwin brought him in with a little tap through Devereaux, netting the first| point for the Seals.

RICHMOND, Va., June 12.—Governor Swanson has ordered Commonwealth's Attorney - Wilkins of Northampton County to use all power to arrest, im- prison and prosecute the mob of fifty well-armed Maryland men which came into Virginia intent upon lynching Wil- liam Lee. The Governor ordered two companies of militia to aid the Sheriff in enforcing this order. NORFOLK, VA, June 12.—A riot call was sounded here this afternoon for the quick assemblage of 200 militia- men of the Seventy-first Virginia Regi- Eastville, Va., to protect William Lee, a negro now in jail at that place, charged with assault on Mrs. Robert Barnes and her cousin, Miss Powell, near Kingston, in Somerset County, on the Eastern shore of Maryland. The crime occurred on Sunday last while the women were en route to their home with the infant of Mrs. Barnes in a baby carriage. Miss Powell is re- ported to be in a serious condition. The assailant of the women escaped and Lee was later arrested at Cape Charles, Va., and was jailed in Eastville, Va. Threats of a lynching resulted in Governor Swanson this afternocon or- dering the Norfolk and Portsmouth companies of the Virginia Natienal Guard to proceed to the scene.

That they were spared was due solely to the efforts of The Call, backed by the support of Major Mclvor, the commandant of the park military district. No one with official authority in tennisdem, appareatly, made even an attempt at a protest Since the soup kitchen was relegated to 2 precinct without the pale of the ten- nis courts the wisdom of thp move has been made apparent, for the great play- ground has been thronged from morn till night with racket wielders of the younger division, while scores of resi- !3ents of the park district gather to | wateh the competition as of yere. But there has been a dearth of tournament play on the public courts, where before the disaster players were being brought together in frequent competitjon. Mr. Marvin, the “patron saint” of the juveniles, has kept up In- terest among the younger experts with impromptu tournaments and announces that he will soon bring off bigger cup events; but beyond the eflonlro: !l:r:l usiast, who is doing mere fo - :?zmnnn any other man on the Pacific coast, nothing has been done. Bafore the fire a'doubles event for men had been completed almost to the finals, but it has never been finished. A mixed doubles also awaits the summons for the final match. Other fixed events that provided almost weekly competition at the park courts appear to have been a for the time. ab’?’:zor!‘:mwr‘ury obliteration of the Golden Gate Club is being shared by the ladies’ anneg, also. Not in moaths has this organiZation attempted to revive its fixed events. The members say in explanation that the disaster of April 18 scattered its officers and reduced the organization in numbers. Outsiders who have shown a friendly inteseat in the welfare of the ladies’ annex in the past suggest a reorganization and the resumption of tournament play with fewer competitors rather than the dis- banding eof the club because of the tem- porarily unmsettled conditions. It is argued that with a display of energy on the part of its officers, dearsls in sporting goeds and others who are profiting through the tennis might readily be induced to lend a hand ! by providing an occasional tournament in the trophy to stimulate inter t xax:e, The same argument, it is sald, would apply to the parent organization, day’s game on a base on balls and four | successive singles in the seventh in- | ning after two men were out.

Shep Hyman have all registered from either “New San Francisco” or “Greater San Francisco,” and it would be hard to find a more effective way of showing the other cities in the United States that San Franciseo has no intentions of letting the disaster put it among the dead ones. Every member of the San Francisco branch of the United Commercial Trav- elers is signing himself from “Greater San Francisco.” % —_— PATRICK ASKS WARDEN TO DELAY EXECUTION uch as the park clubs, being un- ‘ar:)al:nl‘o derive revenue by charging ad- mission to the public courts, are com- pelled to depend largely upen popular pport in return for the entertalnment they provide the holiday throngs that seek free recreation im Golden Gate Park.

STOCKTON, June 13.—The defense in the case of Mrs. Le Doux, char with the murder of A. N. McVicar, seems to have takem a™new tack. Yes- erday much of the questioning was of a character to indicate that the di femse expected to show that McVicar was still alive when the autopsy was begun. Today the cross-examination of the autepsy surgeons was such as to indicate that the defense weuld contend that McVicar was dead when he was put into the trunk. The cross-examination of Dr. Latta, one of the autopsy surgeons, which occupied so much time yesterday, was concluded early today and Dr. J. P. Hull, who also assisted at the autopsy. was called. He corroborated the pre- vious witness and was not long on the stand. He contended that the bleod found in the trunk flowed from Me- Vicar while he was still alive, and that the brui on the head were ante-mortem bruises. Coroner H. E. Southworth, who was present at the autopsy, was positive in his declarations along the same lines. After recess Dr. Southworth stated in response to the District ..ttorney's questions that the bruises upon the head probably took place when Me- Vicar was dropped into the trunk alive. The prosecution regards this as a strong point, the defense having sought to show that these bruises were caused by moving the trunk about. Preparing Application to United States Circuit Court for Writ of Error. OSSINING, N. Y., June 12—Albert T. Patrick, the lawyer whose appeal for a new trial on the charge of murdering ‘William Marsh Rice was denied yes- terday, suggested to Warden Johnson of the State prison today that the War- den defer his arrangements for Pat- rick's executien next week. Patrick, who _did not seem despondent, notified the Warden that he was preparing an application to the United States Circuit Court for a writ of error and that this would probably stay the execution.
