BETTING AS HEAVY AS EVER

NEW YORK. me 15.-From a reliable
source it was learned yesterday that
Waterboy has gone lame again and it
Is doubtful whether Trainer a j. Joyner
will ever be able TO get him fit to race
again
1t was only a few days ago that
Waterboy worked a fast mile and an
eighth and showed every indication of
being able to stand preparation for the
big stakes at Brighton and Saratoga.
But II appears that the famous son of
Watercress. who was easily the cham
pion last year. after a workout on
Monday pulled up in such poor shape
that his case was pronounced hopeless
by the track experts who saw him.
There have been alarming reports about
the great horse all season, but one after
another they have been refuted
When Waterboy was declared from
the Suburban a week ago it was said
that he had not gone wrong. but that
Trainer Joyner, acting under instruc-
tons from J. b. Haggin. had decided to
go slow rather than take chances of a
permanent breakdown.

FOSTERS ORDINANCE
FAILS TO PASS

The varied career of tho poolroom
ordinance was given another setback
last night. 1t was the expectation
Of Councilman Foster to have the
ordinance reducing the license from
$3.50 put through last night. On a
motion Of Councilman Pearson 1t was
put Oft for another week. Mr.. Foster
made strong objections. but on the
call for votes he stood alone.
The poolroom license has been be-
fore the council since March 8. 1t
has had it's third reading and has
met with delay at every turn. 1t
looks now as though IL may lay over
until the new council convenes.
Comptroller Daggett, Treasurer
Eggleston and the board Of public
works recommended to the council
that an ordinance be passed to be
known as the water extension fund
1t is proposed to set aside 20 per cent
of the receipts OF the water revenues !;
that the extension of the proposed
water mains be made from this fund
and warrants be issued against 1t
not to exceed $4,000 per year.
The finance committee recon-
mended that the offer of the Spokane
Traction company to donate the
Boone avenue bridge to the city pro-
vided 1t assumed all liabilities be not
accepted. The report was adopted.
The claims of Chief Coverly and
Acting Captain McPhee for pay as

The two fought at Philadelphia last
night before the Lennox club. Piacke

had it on him by 70 pounds. The big
Dutehman hardly got q glove onto the

Jimmy Britt will very likely 60 on

sort Of show. He has had numerous
offers. To get right down to cases,
there are q whole lot of chaps in that
business now who are worse than
James Edward. After Jimmy won his
frat professional scrap against Toby
Irwin over two years ago. he went on
a. q bowery boy at the Central in
Frisco, and was SO rotten that II was
suggested that the ushers go out and
