Golden Feather, Los angeles Greyhound,
Wins Open Coursing Stake at Ingleside
nicki, the Los Angeles leashman,

E. Janicki, the Los Angeles leashman,
annexed the open stake at Ingleside
coursing park yesterday with his clever
entry, Golden Feather. The black and
white bitch won an unlocked for victory,
for after her showing in the first round
when she luckily defeated Young
Rocker, the talent figured that she had
no chance. With each succeeding race
Golden Feather improved and the final
went to her by default, as the runner
up, Mr.. Lonjers, a Stockton dog, was
withdrawn owing to severe racing.
The winner had some hard racing,
especially in the third round. when she
met Eugene Geary's Mora Alto. Myrtle
was played in the next round to outfoot
the Los Angeles dog, but after close
test the Feather won.
Mr.. Lonjers, T. Zignega's entry which
has been experiencing such poor luck
of late, hit his stride yesterday and
showed high speed. The Stockton grey
hound looked to have the stake at his
mercy until the final round, when he
had an unusually hard race against
Miss Emily. Lonjers was too ex-
hausted to compete in the final.
Miss Emily showed improved form
and landed In third place.
There was a large crowd at the
park and favorites ran to form. The
results follow:

PRUNE PICKERS TAKE GAME
Nose Out Sacramento in Match Re
pIete With Sensational Features

SAN JOSE. June 16.-The local base
ball team was defeated by Sacramento
this afternoon in a sensational game by
2 to l score, losing on two base hit
by Enright, which scored Brown and
Muller. Fielding of a high order by
Friene, Brown and Arellanes marked
the contest. The former got two flies
by the barest margin and the two
pitchers handled thirteen difficult
chances between them. Arellanes
started two double plays both of
which came at critical times.
A hit by Friene, closely followed by
Strieb's single, which Muller missed
after hard chase, scored San Jose S
run in the fifth inning. The visitors
were blanked by Arehanes until the
eighth, when they fell upon his offer
ings for three hits and two runs.
Phil Knell, the former coast Lacquer,
umpired the game and kept the pitch
ers worried by forcing them to cut the
plate TO get strikes on the batsmen. A
special train from Sacramento brought
800 rosters. The score

RAILROADMEN BATTLE
ON BASEBALL DIAMOND

The ball game that all the railroad
powers had been talking about for
weeks came off at Recreation park
yesterday morning, and the members Of
the transportation club will be trying
70 square themselves today with the
friends whom they induced TO bet on
them against the traffic agents. The
package that the transportation stars
received was labeled l6 to 4 without a
rebate, and as nobody made an as
sault upon the umpire the general pub
lie must be satisfied with the ofhcial
score.
So highly were the rival stars tout
ing themselves that they managed TO
entice a great crowd to the park. The
bIeecherites were cautioned not TO
roast any member who missed pop
fy or famed out, but this warning
brought no results. Not a man on
either team could raise his right hand
last night and say that he escaped the
mild comments Of the small boy or his
dad who prides himself with a knowl-
edge Of the game.
The TRANSFORMATION men say that they
would have packed OF the heavy end
of the score had their clothing htteo
them properly. They complain that
these garments were not cut in big
league style, whereas their opponents
were garbed in suits that had the ap-
proval Of the national association OF
professional baseball clubs. The trans
portation tossers sent in an order for
an entire new set OF uniforms last
night.

OUTFLOW OF GOLD
LET'S PRICES DOWN
All Other Conditions Were Generally
Favorable to Higher Prices and
Activity.

New York. June THE active alb
sorption of stocks on a rising scale
were today brought almost to a stand
still by the unexpected high engage
ments of gold for export to Paris to-
morrow. The large sum OF $500, 900
was a surprise. The feature of the
day was a number OF rumors OF new
railroad relations which came into cir
culation. Apparently the plans for tht
transfer of the control of the Boston
& Maine to the New York, New Haven
* Hartford gave an impetus to the
rumors. Many centered about the sup
posed transfer control of Delaware *
Hudson, but none received official
sanction.
The coalers were helped by the evil
dence Of prosperous conditions in that
trade. Included in the showing was
the huge Increase in the tonnage OF
May shipments over those OF MAY
last year. Readings prominence in
the days advance was partly due to
this and it was increased by rumors
of a proposed increase of the dividend
rate, also without official sanction.
Prices lifted to the highest level late
in the day. Bonds were unchanged.

MRS. AYRES WILL SUE
WEST POINT OFFICIALS
They Regarded Her as a Proper Per-
son to Exclude From the Military
Academy Grounds.

West Point y. Y. June I'm the
absence of her husband. who had gone
TO New York for the day, Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Fairfax Ayres declined today to
discuss The details OF the suit for
damages which II is said she is about
TO bring against several high officers
of the military academy. Mrs. Ayres
said the case is now in the hands of
New York lawyers and formal papers
in the suit will soon be served II the
case comes to trial it is believed that
some interesting side lights will be
thrown on the social life at the acati-
emy.
Under ordinary circumstances any
misunderstanding in which the Off
GERS of the academy or their wives
might become involved would be
threshed out before a court martial
and the testimony would never be
published. In this case. however. an
appeal to the civil courts. any testi-
mony will probably be given to the
public.
Mrs. Ayres is the wife of Lieutenant
Colonel Charles Ayres. who returned
on Saturday ON a leave of absence
following duty in the Philippines and
Is now stationed at the academy. She
resides just outside the reservation
and under a recent order issued on
the request of the academy officials.
Mrs. Ayres is denied the privilege of
visiting the grounds.
The order OF prohibition. which is
said To have a large place in Mrs.
Ayres' complaint in support of her
suit for damages. does not apply to
her husband or her son. who is a ca
det at the academy. The order of pro-
hibition against Mrs. Ayres. which
was issued before her husband re-
turned, followed a long period Of mis-
understanding between Mrs. Ayres and
the academy officials. The facts are
disputed.

The French Restaurant Men Describe the
Negotiations With Ruef
To One of Them SchmtZ Said That He Had In
structed "Him' Presumably Ruef to See About
the Held Up Licenses.

San Francisco, June THE pro-
prietors, before the fire, of the five
French restaurants all alleged to have
been victimized by Schmitz and Ruef,
testified for the prosecution today in
the trial of the mayor for extortion.
Two things stood out prominently
when they finished: First, without
exception they claimed to have paid
into the $4,000 protection" fund be-
cause they were satisfied that unless
they employed Ruef they would lose
their licenses and business; second,
without exception they denied that any
threat had been made that theE would
lose their licenses unless they employ
ed Ruef, or that Ruef asked TO be en-
ployed, or that he or any one in his
behalf solicited $4,000 or any sum of
money whatsoever.
The prosecution contends that it is
building up a certain conviction by
seeking to establish the fact that GER
tain French restaurateurs themselves
acted as agents for Ruef in suggest
ing that he be employed to protect
their licenses and in the developments
which followed; and Heney has prom
ised to prove-presumably by the tes-
timony of Ruef that the money paid
to Ruef was by him divided with the
mayor, after which the licenses were
granted.
The defense takes the position that
thus far the prosecution has utterly
failed TO support the accusation
against the mayor, inasmuch as he is
charged with having "extorted through
threat and fear"
The prosecution called Joseph NAL
fanti the proprietor of Delmonico's
before the fire. He called on the may
or after the revocation of Tortonis
license and asked him what the trou-
BILE was. The mayor was very friendly
and expressed surprise that any diff
Guilty should have arisen.
Il have nothing against the place"
he said, Il enjoy going there myself,
but I'll call a special meeting Of the
commission to see what can be done,
III be there myself"
@. Malfanti attended the meeting. but
Schmitz did not show up. Right
away" said the witness. Il smelled a
rat The commissioners wouldn't lis
ten to any argument Of ours
After the meeting of the restaura-
teurs decided that the outlook was
very blue and at the proposal of Loupy
they decided to see if Ruef could do
something for them. The next day
they held a meeting at Adler's. when
Loupy reported having seen Ruef and
he said that Ruef demanded $1,000
year for two years to take charge of
the cases.
I'VE instructed Loupy," said the
witness. "to see all the other restau-
rants. but the only ones who came
in were myself. Marchand's. the New
Poodle Dog. the Pup and the Bay
State. We decided to stop talking and
put our hands into our pockets.
