Frank Donohue pitched for ST. Louis.

JOCKEY SHAW SUSPENDED.
His Ride on Illyria Last Week tn
Cause.

ION the report of the stewards of the
Metropolitan Jockey Club meeting the
license of Jockey William Shaw is sus-
pended"
In this brief and summary manner four
stewards Of the Jockey Club. H. Brad
ford. F. r. Hitchcock, H. K Knapp and
Andrew Miller-yesterday at Morris Park,
revoked the license of Jockey William
Shaw. rider under engagement to the
greatest race track plun,er of the present
day-George E. Smith C'Pittsburg Phir'l.
Shaw rode for James R. Keene last year,
and his earnings for the season, salary in
cluded. were nearly $4,000. Without a
license he will not be permitted to ride. and
this means the loss. eff an income of half
the sum that President Roosevelt receives.
The Jockey Club stewards failed to make
an official statement OF why they revoked
Shaw's license. But their action Is due to
the sudden Improvement of form shown by
w. c. Days colt Illyria, In the Toboggan
handicap on Saturday last at Morris Park.
In that race he was beaten short head by
Mizzen. Previously. on May 9. at the Ja-

rro,c, track I,Ivria. while ridden by Shaw,

maica track Illyria, while ridden by Shaw,
finished a poor fourth to Ben Howard.
In his race over the Jamaica track 1llyria
could scarcely toddle. let alone race where,
as In the Toboggan he had world of speed
and was beaten only head by one of the
fastest sprinters in the east, The improve
ment in his form was so sudden that tne
stewards ordered an investigation OF the
two races.
Early in the afternoon Shaw and pitts
burg PhiP' were called before the Jockey
Club stewards and questioned. The story
of the stewards interrogation Is best as
told by "Pittsburg Phil He said:
1.-The stewards asked IL Shaw was under
contract to me. / told them no; that he
was in by employ, but not under contract.
I refused to put the boy under contract
because I thought that If he could secure
a valuable engagement to big stable 1t
would be more advantageous for him to
leave than to stay with me. as 1 have only
a small string Of thoroughbreds
80 they have revoked Shaw's license,
eh?"
This ejaculation was called forth by the
reporters statement that the stewards had
Cancelled Shaw's license.
well, I'm very sorry. II Willie Shaw
is not honest. there Is not an honest Jockey
riding. The day Illyria was beaten the
colt was so stiff and sore that Locket, MS
stablemate, beat him easily through the
stretch in the warm up Now you know
that Is not nlyria's best form when Locket
can peat nIh G., ~,
1.-THE only objection I could find with
Shaw's riding was he failed to whip the
horse out when he found he was not run

ernoon. I did not feel well that day, and
as the program was poor DID not make q
wager 1 defy anybody to show where l
made a bet that day or that any of my
agents executed commissions for me.
''When Shaw has ridden In race this
season I never have betisOnI any horse hut
the one he had the mount on. I never have
bet against him. I never have laid against
him. I thought Gun1re was the biggest
"cinch'' I ever saw for the Metropolitan.
but I refused to bet on her because WING
had the mount on Old England.
SHAW has the best percentage OF any
Jockey in America. Since the hrst OF the
year he has been outside of the money Just
five times. He won the prize In California
last winter for the jockey with the highest
winning percentage. -g-..,,
"What reason could Shaw have to pull
Illyria? He does not care for money: ne
has no bad habits and lives plainly. When
Jack Joyner asked him at the end of last
season If he was under contract and 1or
his terms, Willie replied: IN take $3.50
a year. Joyner answered, I'm talking Sc
riously' so am L. said Willie. I have
had 1856, 900 worth Of trouble this year, and
it's worth that sum for me to ride for any

rolled between" said Jake Beckley to a
Chicago Tribune reporter.
Chicago was playing New York one day
in 1890. The 10th street park Of the New
York team had been ruined by the opening
OF street. and temporarily a park had
been built on Staten Island, right on the
shore of the bay. The centerfieid. in fact,
was built out on boards over the water.
and the man who fell out of the center
field bleachers had nothing before him but
an tgnominious death in the ocean.
with the score a tie in the last inning
Jimmy Ryan came to bat. He hit the
ball ponderous swipe and it went sailing
out. over the centerfleld fence into the
vastly deep.
"'Ryan's hit and his ensuing home run
were forgotten. when one day, a month
later. he got letter and small package
by mail from Liverpool. The writer said
he had sailed for Europe the day of the
ball game and had been struck by the ball
as he stood on the deck of the liner. After
he got to Liverpool he read an account of
the game in the New York papers and con-
cluded that he had found the missing ball.
Ryan still has the much-traveled sphere
to show as proof Of his holding the record
on long hits"

POSITIVELY DENIED.
No Patent Has Been or Will Be Grant
ed for Perpetual Motion" Machine.

The commissioner Of patents, Mr.. Fred
erick I. Allen. stated today positively that
the patent Office will not. under any condi-
ton, issue patents on so-called perpetual
motion" machines and that no patents for
such machines have been issued by the
Office for the past forty years. This state
ment Of the Commissioner was made in re-
Spouse to an inquiry of reporter for The
Star regarding the alleged issue Of a pat-
ent for a perpetual motion machine to q
man In South Carolina. This man claimed
to have received a patent for his machine,
and long articles praising him and the ma
chine have appeared III several of the lead
ing southern papers. It was a clipping
from one Of these papers. which contained,
among other things, an alleged statement
utility and practical merit of the machine,
which brought forth such an unqualified
denial from Commissioner Allen.
The clipping was brought to the Commits
sioner by q Star reporter with a request
for a statement as to its truth. Mr.. Allen
did not hesitate to pronounce the statement
false. 1t has never come from the patent
office, he said.
1.-THE article to which you call my atten-
tion," said Commissioner Allen, published
in daily paper of Columbia, s. c., and en-
titled Perpetual Motion Machine Patented.
First Patent in Forty Years. The Inventor
Generates Power for Effective Work Is alb
solutely false where 1t says. in respect to
this invention: 1t is the first perpetual
motion invention that the United States
government has allowed a patent for in
forty years. because the patent office is
not allowing patents to issue upon perpet-
ual motion machines at the present time.
"A long description appears in this ar
ticle. preceded by the words: The United
States patent Office has the following to
say about the machine and at the end Of
it-'This Endorsement by the patent bureau
shows that Mr.. Zeigler has hit upon a
practical machine. Mr.. Zeigier took
his machine to Washington and illustrated
1t. putting 1t to practical test. and the COM
missioners were SO well pleased with 1t that
they told him that his application would be
fled and allowed
these statements are so utterly false in
their implication that the patent Office
would do anything so foolish that 1t Is
difficult to conceive for what purpose this
article was written. unless 1t was prepared
to cast discredit upon the operations of the
United States patent Office. or else to In
duce ignorant people to embark their
money In q fraudulent enterprise.
ut II enough to say that the United
States patent ONCE does not intend to as
sist In any schemes OF such nature.
