The judges handed down a decision
yesterday that struck horsemen and
racegoers almost dumb BY the decree
G. H. Knebelkamp and his former sta
bic trainer, Oliver West, jr., were or
dered to take their horses from the
track. The decree is result Of the
scrap Friday between Knebelkamp and
West, and is so severe and unjust as to
cause general condemnation. 1t seems
that the judges have stretched a big
point in trying to be so severe as to
put an effective curb on fighting on the
grounds, but cruel and unusual pun
ishment will not accomplish the result
desired. On the contrary, it is sure to
bring down the condemnation of the
fair-minded public upon the sport and
officials who are running it.
Despite the threatening weather and
the heavy track the attendance yes
terday was remarkably large at Santa
Anita, the grandstandsand betting ring
being well crowded all afternoon.
Hen Berry has lost so many three
cushion match games lately that his ire
has been aroused and he thinks now it
is about time for him to get busy and
make a new record. When his brother
Sandy, who whipped him for the heavy
weight championship of Alaska several
years ago, beat him at the billiard
game Friday night, Hen swore he was
out of form, and yet was good enough
to beat any three-cushion player in the
world. He had an offer of match
game that he did not accept, and
will press the point if he does not sign
up this week.
Hen Berry has closed a deal for the
sale of Rebel Oakes, the crack center
fielder of the Angel club, to Cincinnati.
and will get Fielder Daley and a cash
consideration in return. The contem-
plated deal for the substitution Of
Oakes for Ellis in the sale of the reu-
ben to the Reds could not be pulled
off owing to the necessity for getting
waivers from other big league clubs.
So Ellis and Oakes will have to go to
Cincinnati.
Jack Doyle promises that the grand

will play at the park in it's games with
the White Sox and Hap Hogan expects
to have his team completed within an

CLOWN LATHAM GOES
TO GIANTS AS COACH
old=Time Player and Diamond Humor-
ist and Entertainer Signed by
McGraw to Amuse Fans
on Coaching Lines

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-ManageT SJohn
McGraw of the New York Nationals has
signed the once famous player, Arlie
Latham, particularly famous for his
humor, as a coach for base runners.
Latham's special duty will be to say
funny things on the coaching line and
to kid" the opposing team.
Latham will be remembered by old
fans as the third. baseman for Cincin-
natl in the eighties, where he gained
wide reputation as a humorist. In
those days, while either playing his
position or while in the coacher's box,
it was his custom to wear a red neck
tie with his shirt collar standing up,
and his antics were the delight of the
grandstand and the bleachers.

M ONTGOMERY may not have indi-
wi Gated his desire to win the Hol-
land cup by his previous per-
formances this season, but the fact
that the talent became soured on him
because he was so easily defeated by
inferior horses on a dry track does
not excuse the oversight in failing to
regard him seriously as a contender in
the cheap company opposed to him in
the long race yesterday. Montgomery
would have been 1 to 40 shot in the
same field a, year ago, because of his
class, and 1t probably was his class
that won for him yesterday. Nobody
will regret the success of Hildreth in
winning this stake, as he has the classi-
est and most expensive string on the
coast and certainly has been getting a
hard break when he put in his money
to back his losers. With a stable full
of high class and costly cripples, his
success is pleasing to the majority of
racegoers. He is a good sportsman,
and nobody ever heard him complain
when he lost a small fortune in back
ing his horses that lost for him. He
takes his successes and failures as a
matter of fact and always wears a
smile. That makes him many friends,
and he received many sincere con-
gratulations yesterday after anneXing

the big race. Montgomery always has
been a prime favorite with racegoers,
and he rewarded his admirers hand
somely when he won.
The program book for next week has
been issued and contains bunch of at
tractive events. The feature of the
week will be the California handicap,
with a guaranteed value of $780, 1t
is routed over a distance of a mile
and a quarter and, owing to it's great
value, which makes it one of the real
f. >atures of the winter racing season, it
will draw out a field of excellent class.
If the event is run over a fast track,
a new world record should be set.
r. r. Carman pulled down pair
of purses yesterday, and it seemed like
old times once more for the blue and
white to finish in front. Carman was
winning from one to three races a day
this time last winter, but has been
having hard luck with his good horses
this season. Sir Alvescot and Mark
Antony / won their races like they had
returned to good form, and each should
be hard to beat in future if properly
placed.
Dick Williams recently sent La Glo-
ria and Mary F. to Rosemead ranch
to be turned out for several months,
owing to an injury which almost ruined
the racing career of his consistent La
Gloria and the fact that Mary T. has
been drilled so hard this season that
he decided she should have a rest

Last December Grin Squires, George

Jeff Mulholland, Stanley Baugh, Andy

herds of sheep and burning of ranch
property. Squires and Martin are re-
ported to have made confessions lfnplf-

told of the formation of a gang for
the purpose of driving the sheepmen
from Crook county. This included a
death compact, it is said, whereby if
any member of the gang divulged what
happened he was to be killed by the
others.
Squires refused bail after his arrest,
fearing. it is said. that he would be
summarily dealt with by the men still
at liberty. Subsequently both Squires
and Martin repudiated these alleged
confessions, but the prosecution con-
tinued to press their cases before the
court until the compromise said to
have been made by the defendants was
offered and accepted.

ATTORNEYS ANALYzE
GUGGENHEIMS' CASE
FORMER WIFE SEEKS TO Sc
CURE SUPPORT
Woman Likely to Press Complaint
Made Several Months Ago in New
York Court Against the
Millionaire

NEW YORK, June 9.-The suit
started in Chicago yesterday by Mrs.
Grace d. Guggenheim to annul her
divorce of 1901 from William Guggen-
helm, is taken by New York lawyers
as a step preparatory to the pushing
of the suit she filed against Guggen-
helm In this city last January for sup
port.
Mrs. Guggenheim brought suit for alb
solute divorce against the youngest
member of the family who is promi-
nently identified with the smelling in
terests of the country in the supreme
court here, alleging then, as now, that
her Chicago divorce from Guggenheim
was invalid.
The plaintiff made no mention of the
amount of alimony, but claimed that
as the Chicago divorce was not legal
she was still his wife and, therefore
was entitled to alimony. She set forth
that her marriage to Jules Roger Wahl
subsequently had had nothing to dc
with her rights to sue Guggenheim.
Incidentally she asserted that Mr..
Guggenheims second marriage was in
valid.
Following the Introductory argu-
ments Justice Gerard adjourned the
hearing for week. Mr.. Guggenheim,
through counsel, asked for an indefin-
lite adjournment that he might take the
dispositions of witnesses abroad
Mrs. Guggenheim opposed this. de-
claring that she was in want. When
the case was called the following week
there was no response from either side,
and there the matter has rested until
Mrs. Guggenheim started her annul-
ment case in Chicago yesterday.

RAILROADS GAIN
TIME IN INQUIRY
COMMERCE COMMISSION EN-
TIERS AGREEMENT
SPOKANE RATE CASE DEFERRED
UNTIL AUTUMN
Conclusion viii Be Reached Regarding
Influence of Pacific Coast Terminal
Charges on intermediate
Schedules
tBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, June 9.-An agree
ment was reached today between the
interstate commerce commission and
the parties interested in the Spokane
rate case including the shipping inter-
ests and the railroads, that the phases
of the question yet in controversy
should be postponed until next fall,
when the whole matter will be threshed
out on its merits.
1t was agreed that the defendant
railroads should file with the commits
sion class rates in accordance with
the decision of the commission an
nounced a few weeks ago, but that the
commodity rates should remain as
they now are until the entire ques-
ton could be gone over by the COM
mission.
The order of the commission in the
Spokane case--one of the most inn
portant and far-reaching that has been
tried by the body in years-originally
was to have become effective June l.
That order made material reductions
in the rates from eastern points to
Spokane, but it proved to be unsatis-
factory to practically everybody in
terested.
Protest Against Rates
The Hartman lines made application
to the commission to be relieved of the
rates prescribed, because the route to
Spokane from Chicago by those lines
was approximately AGO miles farther
than by the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern This application was de-
MED temporarily" Subsequently the
northern lines requested a hearing
by the commission. Representatives OF
the Pacific Coast terminals-San Fran
cisco, Seattle, Tacoma and Los An
geles-protested against the proposed
rates, because their application would
affect materially their business. 1t was
asserted that rates would put out OF
business San Francisco jobbing and
manufacturing interests.
The commission postponed the effec-
tiveness of the order until July l, and
fixed today's hearing at which all the
Pacific coast cities and the railroads
interests would be present Neither
side was prepared to proceed. 1t was
agreed that the railroads should file
tariffs to Spokane covering the class
rates according to the order of the
commission, but that the whole matter
of the commodity rates should go over
until next fall
In effect this means that all of the
defendant railways, including the Har-
riman lines, will make the commission s
class rate to Spokane effective by
July 1. Next fall it is proposed to
reach a conclusion as to the influence
of Pacific coast terminal rates on all
intermediate rates, including those not
only to Spokane, but to Reno, Phoenix,
Ariz., Salt Lake City, Sacramento and
other points in the intermountain
states.

a disaster to the empire which would
