KING JAMES FINDS PLACE.
Makes Turf History by Getting in
Band of Big Winner.

NEW YORK, June As c. Hildfeth' 8
King James, which ran such a brilliant
race in winning the Sheepshead Bay
handicap Thursday, has at last found a
place in that select band Of thorough
breds which have wen 100000 or more
on the American turf. In a sense King
James was unfortunate enough to be
born in a year that boasted the unbeaten
Colin. Fair Play, Unc.e and Celt. In the
face OF this opposition, however, the son
of Piaudit won $14.15O as a two-year-old.
In 1908, as a three-year-old, he added
SIS, 1876 to his total. and again he was OPP
posed to Fair Play. winner Of $IO.335 that
year, and Colin. winner of $4S,0O6
Last year, as a four-year-old. he had
things more his own way, with Fair Play
and Colin in England, but the stakes
and purses had shrunk to small proper
tions, and his winnings for the season
amounted to SIS, 225, or probably not more
than a third Of what he could have won
in happier times for racing. So tar tins
wear King James has won something
more than $4,000, and his victory in the
Sheepshead Bay handicap Thursday wa
worth enough to bring the grand total to
$1OO246.

TWO OLD ENEMIES MEET
"CAP" HATFIELD ENCOUNTERS
FORMER u. 8. MARSHAL.
Men Ancient Foes, But Pass Each
Other on Street With
out Shooting.

tPINEVILLE, W. Va. June 2I.-For
the first time in twenty-one wears Dan
W. Cunningham of Charleston. for
many years United States marshal. and
cap" Hatfield, perhaps the most
famous leader of the old Hatfield clan,
met face to face here. 1t was the first
time either had got a glimpse OF the
other since 1889. when Cunningham
was the head of a detective force which
was engaged in trying to break up the
Hatfield clan.
The meeting occurred near the pool
room and each recognized the other at
. glance. and each was about as sur
prised a man could possibly be.
They looked each other squarely In the
eyes, but instead of flying bullets. as
the spectators expected to see. neither
showed disposition to shoot. but
walked away in opposite directions.
The enmity that exists between these
men Is well known in this section. and
for years the question has been. What
will happen when Dan Cunningham
and Cap Hatfield meet?"

WORLDS RECORD FOR
PEERLESS SHEPPARD
Knocks .F0ur-Fifths of a Sec

Mark.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Melvin W. Shep-
pard, the greatest distance runner of the
Irish-American Athletic Club, added an
other worlds record to his credit yester
day afternoon at the Clan-na-Gael games
at Celtic Park. Paced by two speedy
middle distance runners, he travelled $50

worlds mark hung up by Harry Hillman

Shep never displayed better form than
he did in this event. He was in condi-
ton to run at his greatest speed. and
before the race informed his friends to
that effect. If the pace is fast enough
I'll smash that record sure" he said to
Lawson Robertson. his trainer. while
dressing for the race.
I'll give you hot enough pace" re-
piled Robby, and he left the room to
seek the other contestants.
"Shep says If you fellows will run the
first part fast enough he'll make rec
and w. Schaaf, the two other contest
ants. Realizing they had no chance of
beating the champion. they volunteered
to. run as fast as they could from the
start, irrespective of what harm it might
do them near the finish.
BY the time the trio had reached their
marks word had passed along the line
that Shep would try for a new record,
and as the trio went away to a good
start all eyes were upon the great
champion. Scarcely had he run a hun

applause from the throng.
AS soon as the start was made Rob-

thing he could to help the champion

Shepard sped close to him and Schaaf
followed we'll up. All around the track
Robbins continued at his greatest speed.
Shep moved along at his heels and never
allowed more than a foot to separate him
from the leader AS the bell announced

strain. he continued until next the last
turn was reached and then he faltered.
But there was no falter in the great
stride of the champion. He seemed to
move faster than ever. and like a fash

and amid a roar of applause from the
crowd breasted the tape all alone. The
early fast pace was too much for his
opponents and both quit before the finish.

The Probable Provocation.
-
There is no certainty Of the precise
provocation. but it is generally under

Tong did not relish the fact that Chue
Hen. recently acquitted OF the murder Of
an Ong Leong Tong man. was to be the
guest of honor at the banquet.
The Hip Sing Tong. the Ong Leong
Tong and the Four Brothers occupy each

of one society trespasses on the territory
of another. Pickets had been posted yes
terday at the ends OF Pell street by the
Four Brothers. and scouts Of the onG
Leong Tong patroiled the adjacent
boundary Of Mott street. There were morn

The two dead men were members Of the

Immediately after the shooting a BAG

today the district Is being strongly

GAMBLING DENS ARE

Johnson Makes Poor Impression in
Boxing Bouts Because His Spar

RENO, New, June 21.-The sun is hot at
Reno. Its torrid rays beat down on the
spectators with almost tropic intensity.
Also there is dust. 1t lies thick and finely
powdered on the roads that lead to the
rival fight camps, and a procession of
plunging automobiles journeying to and
fro churns ii up constantly.
But neither heat nor dust seems to be
troubling either the black man or the
white giant who a week from today are
to meet in conflict that has riveted world
wide attention and is Turing to the Ne
vada town eager patrons from the four
corners of the earth.
Yesterday was like "crcus day in an
average American town, but there were
two show grounds, the camps of the fight
ers. That of Jeffries. being on car line
and therefore accessible to the pleasure
seeking multitudes, drew much the larger
crowd, and from early morning until dusk
heterogeneous gatherings thron1ed the
tree-shaded lawns and resorts OF Moana
Springs. No one seemed greatly disap-
pointed that Jeffries was not visible. All
were content to be merely an integral part
of a gay and care-free assembly

preciative audience that clamored for

Fight Crowd Arriving.

Reno is rapidly filling up with the van
guard of the fight crowd. Every train
puts down its quota Of visitors. and the
number OF arrivals 10 expected to in
crease steadily from now until the
Fourth. The main invasion, 1t is thought,
will begin about Friday.
Among the newcomers are not a few
adventurous youths from the coast. who
have managed to elude vigilant trainmen
while riding brake beams and blind bag
gage. On one of the overland trains
from San Francisco yesterday twenty of
these knights OF the road were captured
by railroad detectives at Summit. near
the snowsheds. In the lot was a lame
boy who had dragged himself, his crutch
and bundle of magazines to a seQues-
tered seat on the innermost section of a
car truck. He, too. was bound for Reno.

aou1ette Wheels Attract.

Within the main building roulette
wheels clicked endlessly, and the little
white balls were watched with straining
eyes by women as well as men. Visitors
from the east wondered at that. They
wondered, too. on returning to the city
at the fact that the big untown gambling
halls we're almost deserted and the Ia
bles Of chance covered with green cloth.
1t was explained that municipal law
permits no gambling on sunday, except
poker and other card games played with

Out at Johnson's camp the main at

Kaufman and Walter Monahan, one of
the latest recruits to his training corps.
Here the carnival spirit that character
lied Moana Springs was lacking. The
visitors were mostly men-expert critics
and ring followers anxious to get line"
on the condition of the champion.
Johnson's second workout here was not
nearly so impressive, as the one OF the
day before. though it was not the: cham
pion's fault in any particular. His spar
