KEENE'S BALLOT
IS LAID ON SHELF
Great Suburban Winner Has an
Injured Leg That Is Both
ering Trainers

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-James r.
keene's Ballot, winner of the Subur
ban of 1908 and one of the best horses
which has borne the silks of James r.
keene in many a year. is on the shelf
FOR this season at least.
Ballot came out of the Saratoga
handicap in which he was beaten by
Olambala last Thursday with an
abrasion on his near foreleg. He did
not appear to be very sore when he
went to his stable, but the injured leg
was badly swollen Friday, anJ his
trainer has not been able to get him
on the track since. 1t is accordingly
announced that there is no possibility
of an attempt to race him again this
year. This means that Ballot must
pass the Saratoga cup and the Saratoga
weight for age race, in which he was
to have met Olambala and Fitzher-
bert, at d mile and quarter at Louis
vile.
Whether Ballot will come to the
post again next season his trainers can
not say. They do not know yet exactly
what ails the stout chestnut. He may
have bowed tendon or his injury may
be due to a kick. Since Ballot is now
6 years old, it is possible that keene
may decide to retire him into Castleton
stud.

At Handball

A great deal of comment has been
caused in Olympic club circles over
the handball match that was played
yesterday morning between George
ONnard and John T. Clark vs. Charlie
Knight and Harry Cosgriff This quar-
tet of veterans got into an argument
as to their respective abilities on the
court, and the result was that din
ner was wagered and they went at it.
Al Hampton was the referee and
Waldo Ivancovich kept tally of the
points made.
George Oxnard and John. Clark GER
tainly made winning combination,
as they came back strong after losing
the first game by the score of 21 to
19, winning the second game, 21 to 20.
Oxnard, who showed better come
back qualities than Jeffries did, ex-
celled at inplaying and had knight and
Cosgriff on the run after the second
game. and the third and final game
was won in easy fashion by Clark and
Oxnard by the score of II to Z.
Cosgriff and Knight said they
weren't in proper shape and asked for
a return match, which will probably
be played some day next week.
