cent meet at Brighton Beach. The most
important decision changes the result of

change their decision. and 1t was granted.
the revised order being Carlson first, the
Brokaw car second. La Roche third and
Plank fourth In allowing this petition the
racing board filed the following memoran-
dun:
1T should be considered that at the time
this race was run darkness had set in, and
that the race followed a very severe acct
dent. But for the occurrence of the acct
dent. the race would have been completed
during daylight and the error. the chair
nan of the board feels. was but natural,
after reviewing the evidence supplied by
the judges"

SULLIVAN THE BEST.
Washington Boy Knocked Out Bern
stein in Ninth Round.

Kid Sullivan's youth. vigor and agrees
siveness proved too much for the superior
skill and experience of Joe Bernstein at
their meeting at the Spa Athletic Club last
night. and the latters seconds threw up
the sponge at the end of the ninth round.
1t was a vicious. grueling fight as long as
it lasted and although Bernstein had
clearly the better of it on points the blows
landed at frequent intervals by the local
champion did much more damage. Really
ing his inferiority in stand-off sparrng, the
Kid forced the fighting throughout. and
bore in at every opportunity. While Bern
stein played almost entirely for the head,
the Kid devoted his attention mainly to
his opponents body. In the nine rounds
fought Bernstein landed about four blows
TO every one he received. but his blows
lacked steam and failed to stem the vicious
damaging rushes of the local pugilist Bern
stems hands were In bad shape, and after
vicious exchange in the ninth round in
which he was fought down in his corner
he announced that he had sprained his
right wrist and was unable to continue the
fight whereupon the referee Mr.. James
O'Iiara of Baltimore, promptly gave the de-
cision to Sullivan. While there Is no doubt
that Bernsteins wrist was disabled, Il
looked as though he would have been
knocked out IL the fight had continued He

Fitz to Fight Corbett.

Bob Fitzsimmons' ambition to meet Jim
Corbett again may be gratiffed. According
to dispatch from San Francisco. the Yose-

Cafforth, the clubs matchmaker, says that
the arranging of the mill depends on how
the Cornishman makes out in his coming
battle with George Gardner. which Is to be
held before the same club the latter part of
this month. If Gardner is the winner he
may get the chance of facing Pompadour
JIM in place of Fitzsimmons.
Corbett is a good ORA wing card, as was at

alter, inclosing check for SIS for the ben
eft of Policeman Osburn, who was shot

II have read with much interest IN to-
days papers the account of the robbery

that all escaped serious injury excepting
unfortunate Officer Osburn, now lying at

II observe from the papers that you say
there Is no way to compensate him under
the law during the time he is of duty, but
that you intend to look after him yourself
Please let me Join you to the extent of $25
for which amount my check is inclosed.
again let me repeat what have often
said-that for its size you have the most
efficient and best disciplined police force of
any city in the country

letter. thanking him on behalf of Officer
Osburu for the contribution and expressing

PLACED UNDER ARREST.
Wilson E. Kraemer Wanted Here on a
Serious CHARGE

d
Detective Tyser went to New York last
night to render assistance to the authori-
ties in the case of young man named
Wilson E. Kraemer, who is under arrest
there for the police department here. 1t is
alleged that he passed two worthless
checks in this city last week. One of them
was for $50 and the other was for $50 so
Several years ago the young man was in
this city as the representative of a live
stock insurance company, and the nature
of his business resulted in his getting on
good terms with the keepers of livery sta
bles. Moses Sinsheimer and John Dugan
were two of the liverymen he numbered
among his friends. and last week when he
came here and wanted certified checks on
the National State Bank of Camden. N. j..
cashed he had no trouble in getting the
business men mentioned to identify him at
the banks.
The checks were returned from the New
Jersey bank as worthless, and the detect
ives were notified About the time they
started the investigation a letter was re-
ceived from Thomas +. league. chief Of
police of Hot Springs, Ark. asking for the
arrest of Kraemer under the name of
Glyn D. Fitzgerald. 1t was stated in the
letter that he is wanted there for the al
legged passing of a worthless check for
$500. His arrest yesterday afternoon was
accomplished only after a lively exchange
of telephone messages.
1t is stated that the young man appeared
at the Coney Bath Beach Bank with
check drawn on the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Bank of this city. The Bath Beach
bank officials telephoned the officials of the
bank here for information concerning the
man.
Captain Boardman was told of what was
going on, and he called up police head
quarters in New York city and asked that
the man be arrested A few miutes later
he received word that Kraemer was under
arrest. and Detective Tyser was sent to,
present the evidence against him. 1t is
