ROYAL BEN THE
DERBY WINNER
JOE SIMPSON DOPED FOR THE
FINISH BUT HIS JOCKEY
SWUNG HIM AGAINST RAIL
FOR FATAL INJURY.

Royal Ben. A. d. Woldstrom' S
four year old black, ridden by Ly.
curgus, won d royal race yesterday
when he attached the eighth an
nual derby to his record in 1858,
slower than last years time but
just as exciting. The trembling
black was cheered by thousands
as he swept under the wire, safely
seading Blonde and Midmont Ca
g,in, the 1907 derby winner, never
displayed much speed during the
ACE.
Tim Simpson, the horse that was
'.:oped for the winner, fell against
he rail when ridden too close and
vas so badly injured that Mr..
Woldstrom, it's owner, stood by
with tears in his eyes while Harry
Draper shot it. The accident hap
pened at the head of the stretch.
The owners plans were working
fine. Royal Ben, who is only a
fast sprinter, had tired the others
out almost, but Simpson was lay
ing back with an easy stride, ready
at word from his jockey to put
his great strength into every leap
and over take his stable mate. But
Jockey Donwitz was too anxious
and when he sought to get on the
rail Jim was crowded clear against
it and fell. DonwitZ landed upon
his feet uninjured.
Leland Onward won the 2:05
pace in three straight heats. Mona
Wilkes second and Delilah third.
Best time 2:l2.
The 2:14s trot was won by Day
break; Henry Gray second, and
Lady W.. third. Best time 2:14k
Cardinal Sarto won the seven
furlongs events in 1929; King
Brush second. and Harka third.
Forty-four won the half mile in

QUINN WANTS
To SEE COIN

Manager Eddie Quinn of the
1908 Indians returned from the
Coast yesterday. Regarding next
years plans he claims to know
nothing. Joe Cohn, who purchased
the team from the Recreation com.
pany, has announced no plans for
the future or whether or not the
team will be run by Quinn.
Today Quinn is finishing up de,
tails for the post-season games be-
tween the Indians and a picked
team from the City league for a
$500 side bet. Quinn believes that
on account of the supporters of the
two teams being strong in the be-
lief that the other is the BETTER,
record crowds will witness the
games, which are to be played al
ternately at Recreation and Nata-
forum parks. All of. the Indians
except Jensen and Wright will be
here. The former has gone to his
home in Salt Lake and Rasty has
gone back to Ohio.
The City league all-stars will be
managed by Howard Slater in all
probability. The first game will
be played Sunday if details can be
fixed up by that time. The only
hitch in negotiations so far is the
fact that Roy Slater and Dan
Weaver, who are backing the City
league stars, have not come
through with the side bet yet.
Slater and Quinn met at the race.

first Quinn had seen of Slater.

CHANCE FOR SPOKANE YET

The ho-Washington football
game which has been so much
talked of may be landed for Spo-
kane after all, according to sug-
gestion which comes from Moscow
Idaho, the home of the Idaho uni
versity. The excuse of the Wash
ington team was that the schedule
interfered with the big jump to
Spokane. A post-season game is
now talked of. Idaho is willing,
while Washington as yet has not
been heard from on it.

JAPAN IS NOT READY FOR HIS COUNTRY
Senior AriaS Resigns as Can
didate for the Panama
Presidency.
OBALDIA WILL BE VICTOR.

Panama. July 6.-The announcement
of the resignation of Senior Arias az
candidate for the presidency has re-
suited in dissipating the threatening
conditions which last Friday were dis
turbing the peace of the republic. To-
day the war clouds have disappeared
and resentment seems 10 have been
forgotten, all things pointing to an or
Derby election throughout the country.
1t is believed the overwhelming ma
jorities obtained by Senior Obaldia's
partisans at the recent municipal cleo
tons in most of the provinces is the
chief reason for Senior Arias's resigna-
ton. The people are celebrating the
victory. as 1T is the first time in his
tory that the official candidate for the
presidency backed by a South Ameri-
can of Central American government
has not succeeded in winning over the
peoples candidate.
1t is reported that an important ca
blegram was received by Senior Arias
from an official of the United States
government. advising him to resign,
but the members of the Panama gov
eminent refuse to confirm or deny this
report Friday evening Arias re-
quested Obaldia TO meet him TO dis
cuss the question of the presidency.
Arias proposed that he and Obaldia re-
sign and agree upon third candidate.
This Obaldia refused 10 do. Arias
then agreed TO hand in his resignation
Internationally. giving as his reason
q patriotic desire 10 prevent the mill
tary occupation OF the isthmus by the
United States. which he considered
would be death blow to the republic
and also 10 enable the establishment of
a union of political parties. which he
believed is the only means TO solve the
problem OF Panamas external rela-
tions.
