BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
LONDON, June 1S.-Those who an
ticipated a tame finish of the Dwight
f. Davis international championship
matches at Wimbledon today were
pleasantly surprised, the outstanding
singles, S. H. Smith, against Holcomb
Ward and H. l.. Doherty against r. d.
Little providing some of the best plays
of the tournament. The spectators in
cluded Beals C. Wright, who was out of
the competition owing to an injury to
his hand. Mr.. Wright's condition is
now so satisfactory that the doctors
visits have been discontinued.
Smith played a splendid game, and it
was only after securing the first two
sets, 6-1, 60. that he gave Ward an
opportunity of showing his skill. The
American had been able to win only the
sixth game of the first set, but when
he entered on the last set he showed all
his old dash. Smith, however, played a
cool and resourceful game, winning a
hard set by GA.
Little opposing H. d.. Doherty dis
played splendid form. After losing the
first game he played with such perfect
judgment that he scored four games in
succession and took the set 6-3. DOH
erty gave a better exhibition in the sec
ond set, winning it 6-3 He opened the
third set with loss but won the next
two games. Then ensued a ding-dong
struggle, Little eventually proving sue
cessful, Sc. In the fourth set Doherty
played with great dispatch, winning by
81, again drew level with two sets ALL
Little took service promptly, scoring
three games to one called in his favor
Then the Britisher got into his swing
and fairly baffled his rival. Little, who
fell once in the act of striking, lost five
games in succession, Doherty thus Sc
curing the set and match.
Summary:
S. II. Smith, Great Britain. beat Hol-
comb Ward. America, 6-1, 60, Ga.
II. II. Doherty, Great Britain, beat
Raymond ID. Little, America, S-6, 6-3,
6-S, 6-1, 6-3.

KEENE GRIEVES OVER
LOSS OF RACEH0RSE
CARRIES 100000 INSURANCE ON
THOROUGHBRED
Blood Poisoning Which Caused Death
Originated on Right Fore Leg.
Was Lately offered 100000 for
Sysonby by an EngIishman
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-James r..
Keene owner of Sysonby, which died
yesterday, was deeply grieved at the
loss of his great race horse.
He ordered a post mortem examina-
tion and the physicians settled con-
clusively that the horse did not die of
the skin disease for which he had been
treated for several months. The blood
poisoning which caused death orig
mated in badly bruised frog of the
right fore foot.
The skin affection had been the re-
mote cause, it is surmised, for the
horse had stamped in his stall to ex-
press his dislike for the itching of his
skin. The frog had been terribly
bruised until there is a mesh of small
blood vessels there.
An absceSS formed and the entire coro-
net was found to be full of pus. The
spleen and liver were found TO be
greatly enlarged, but the huge lungs
and stout heart of the horse were un-
affected.
When Sysonby first showed symptoms
of the skin trouble soon after training
began this spring, Mr.. Keene was dis
satisfied with the progress the thor
oughbred was making toward recovery
and had his own physician attend the
horse. Everything possible was done.
Sysonby'S SufferingS were pitiable and
during part of the illness the horse was
wrapped up to prevent ii injuring itself
1t was stated last night that Mr..
Keene was recently offered over $780,
900 for Sysonby by an Englishman. He
carried 100000 insurance on the thor
oughbred.

Denatured Alcohol Bill Signed by the
President-ControVersy Continues
Regarding Merits of Four
and Six Cylinder Cars

Entries for the Around the Kite"
run will be closed Wednesday, June q,
in order that every detail may be COM
pleted toward starting the cars upon
their way. Arrangements must be
made with the Riverside management
for the exact number of cars to be
housed during the stopover All con-
testants will be instructed as to prop
erly observing the road rules.
The great Importance of the de-
natured alcohol bill recently signed by
the president may be realized by this:
If a motor car supply tank hold ten gall
Ions of gasolne-at 20 cents a gallon
it costs 50 to load it. A four-cylinder
touring car will go about fourteen miles
for each gallon Of gasoline at ordinary
speed. This means about 140 to $50
miles for the ten gallons.
Denatured alcohol-tax free-can be
sold at fair profit for 10 cents a gal
Ion. And as alcohol can be made of
almost anything, corn being used only
in the manufacture of the finest grades,
it should be possible to produce it so
cheaply that 10 cents will be the ruling
price; and the motorist may do his 150
miles for 81. half the former price.
You may have a good light for nearly
sixty hours for 10 cents, and if you care
to do it, you may legally make your
own alcohol. providing only that 1t be
denatured, which means that it must be
mixed with something to render it unfit
for drinking or for medicinal purposes.
The bill removing the tax from alcohol
of this class is to become law January
1, 1907.
A new electric carriage has recently
appeared, which has received instant
favor. 1t is a Pope Waverley Stanhope
Special, model So, with a number of i'm
provements. The carriage is now made
with a removable coupe bod.- and 1t is
a vehicle of very unusual grace and
beauty. 1t is finished with black body,
brewster green panels and the gear and
wheels are brewster green, with car
mine stripping. 1t Is a handsome model
and, for stylish appearance. cannot be
surpassed.
The argument about versus cylin-
ders is increasing in wamth. The man
who has the big type for sale has
proof by the column that his is the only
one and so has the 4cylinder dealer.
The word battle is raging from the
Pacific to the Atlantic.

AUTOISTS WILL
CONTEST CASE
BELIEVE JAIL SENTENCE IS
NoT'LEGAL
Chauffeur of WhlstlIng Billy viii
Carry Case to Higher Courts II
Sentence Imposed Is
Drastic

Bert Dingley, holder of a number Of
records for automobile racing and
known in Los Angeles as the driver of
"Whistling Billy" which raced at Agri-
cultural park last fall has caused a
great deal of excitement among the
police judges and the prosecuting att
torneys.
Dingley was arrested about ten days
ago charged with violating the speed
ordinance. He has been fined for two
previous offenses. At first he entered
q plea of not guilty and later withdrew
this and entered a plea of guilty. This
was later withdrawn and he pleaded
not guilty when arralgned for trial yes
terday in Judge Roses court.
Judge Rose found Dingley guilty and
set June 20 as the date for fixing the
sentence.
The furore that was created over the
case is in regard to Interpretation of
the law. Some of the attorneys con-
tend that Dingley must be fined and
imprisoned and others say that the law
does not make Imprisonment necessary.
BILLY" Nevin was the first man
charged with violating this ordinance
three times. He was fined $1OO. The
question is now raised as to why a more
severe punishment should be inflicted
upon man who is guilty of a similar
offense.
Will Appeal Case
The section regarding the punishment
of a person guilty for the third time of
violating the speed ordinance says that
he shall be punished by fine of not
less than 500 nor more than $3.50 and
thirty days in Jail.
Prosecuting Attorney Beebe inter
prets the law to mean that the punish
ment shall not be less than S10O and
imprisonment or more than $3.50 and
thirty days imprisonment. Others con-
tend that the minimum punishment is
$100 without any Jail sentence.
The question is being thoroughly dis
cussed in order that a correct sentence
may be imposed upon Dingley when
he comes up for sentence.
Dingley will appeal the case to high
er courts and fight it to the end if Jail
sentence is given him. 1t is understood
that local automobile dealers are inter-
ested in the case and will give Dingley
support should he appeal the case.
Attorneys have given their opinion
that the law will not stand an appeal.
1t is said by lawyers that a city Or
idnance should control the speed at
which automobiles are allowed to run
within the city limits.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Second only to the excitement atten-
that upon the Nelson-Herrera fiasco
will be the order of events scheduled
to occur at Maud junction this evening.
With five six-round bouts and ten
round affair on the bill, local lovers of
the gentle art should receive full value
for their coin and then some. Tom
McCarey had intended remaining in
the solitude of the woods while his in
ternational program was in progress
but could not resist the temptation to
steal down yesterday in order to be
on hand at the call of time.
It will be a hardy set of amateurs
to enter the ring this evening, and
from the manner in which they have
been training at the pavilion during
the past two weeks several of the
limited affairs will not go the route.
All have trained conscientiously and
will have no excuse to offer at any
decision rendered.
Chinatown is greatly excited regard
ing the contest which is to occur be-
tween their countryman, All Wing, and
Monte Attell. The celestial looked up
with Dalton for a few rounds the day
following his arrival and to all ap-
pearances possesses somewhat of a
punch. Monte Attell is clever. however,
and the majority have picked him. to
win from the chink.
Interest centers mostly about the Kid
Dalton Harry Baker affair, as the re-
suit will place one of the two in line
for higher honors than the amateur
featherweight championship. 1t is a
question as to whether Dalton's stam-
ina and hitting ability may break
down the guard of the clever champion.
Abe Attell and frankie Neil, who are
to meet July for the featherweight
championship of the world, will both
be introduced at the ringside.

Duluth. Mimi, Sept. 22.-The board
OF canvassers finished compiling the
official returns Of the primary election
today. y. Adam .Bede carried the coun-
ty BY 875. :,
:. In the forty ninth senatorial district
E. R.: Vail Of Virginia won over L. A.
Barnes of Duluth by Esp, this in spite
of the fact that Barnes went out of
Duluth with ZOO more votes than Vail.
In the fiftieth district it was somewhat
in doubt as to whether Captain Lewis
or J. r. Randall won the nomination
for representative, but the official re-
turns give it to Randall by 46.
Since the election there has been
great interest to know whether John
Z. Armstead, who ran second in the
contest for sheriff, would contest W.
j.. Bates, the successful man. Bates,
prior to fling for the nomination, gave
another man $500 to enter the race to
draw from Armstead's vote. Good at
torneys have held that Bates violated
the corrupt practices act -.
John D. Brady, democrat, will run
against Bates, and it is we'll known
that he only expects to|.get the office
by outsing Bates after the latter is
elected. Armstead, having run second,
is looked upon as the man to get the
| matter before the court and have Bates
| put off the ticket if he Is ineligible.
Today he declared, however, that he
would take no action, expressing the
| opinion that the republican county com
mittee should act.
