RAGE TRACK WIN Albany, June 2. One more legal vic tory has been scored by the race tracks In New York. Judges of the court of appeals yesterday handed down a decision which holds that the dispensing of "advance information" at the Brighton Beach track last July was not a violation of the anti-gambling bills. This matter of "advance information" is the source of revenue on which the tracks depend and on which may now rest the matter of daily racing In the east, as in the old days. Under the present system, when bettors have been making wagers on credit or have been depositing their money before coming to the Belmont course, no revenue has come from the ring. At least that is what the directors of the courses state. It is generally believed, however, that a "gentleman's agreement" exists be tween certain well known figures of the ring who are always seen lounging around about the lawns, and the owners of the tracks. When the first test of the anti-bet ting law was made last year, book JEFF 10 APPEAR If! 6-BOUND GO JUNE 15 Retired Champion Will Get $4,000 for 18 Minutes' Fighting at Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Pa., June 2. Fight lovers in Pittsburg have been assured that they will see Jim Jeffries in action here at Duquense Garden on the night of June 15. when he will meet a man whose name is for the present being withheld. He is to box six rounds, and for this will receive $4,000. The arrangements were closed over the long distance phone by Manager A. S. McSwigan of Duquense Garden. Jeff did not want to go more than throe rounds, but has been induced to make it six. Jeffries is informed as to the man who will oppose him, but he is pledged not to make it known for a few days, as there is another fight in prospect, the plans of which may be interfered with by publicity of this name now. The National Sporting club of Pittsburg, which has been holding fights in Pittsburg so successfully, announces that it has nothing to do with the Jeffries affair. When Jeff heard of the $12,000 house to which McGann and Ketchel boxed here recently he announced he would like a bit of the Pittsburg money, but he refused to box on a percentage basis. CUBS START MONTH WELL Cincinnati, June 2. Chance, and his champs started the June campaign yesterday with a thrilling battle. In which they finally managed to triumph over the Reds. 9 to 3, although forced to go ten innings to win. They had the game tied up and labeled when the ninth started, hut a base on balls, a hit, Stanley's fumble and throw to third put Reds on second and third before a man was out in the ninth, and it was only by desperate resistance that they staved off defeat and got to play the extra inning. In the tenth the reds went all to pieces and forced six runs upon the Cubs before the third man went out. Bases on balls, a hit, two men hit, and finally a crashing three-bagger down the first base line killed Cincinnati's last hope and returned the champions easy winners. SOX READY FOR WORK Philadelphia, June 2. The White Sox landed here last evening after their long, tiresome ride from Chicago and found trouble waiting for them that they did not relish. The street car strike has tied up the transportation facilities so that they will have to walk everywhere they want to go while here except when they ride to the ball yard In the big bus which has done duty for several years. All of the men stood the trip well, but were glad when they pulled into the Broad street station. Manager Sullivan and his combination will work off four games hero. None of the Chicago men are looking forward to thf series with the Athletics with any great amount of pleasure, for they remember too well the treatment they were handed by Connie Mack's men In Chicago. BOWL 1,234 IN DOUBLES New York, June 2. The Utica Elks team, Charles Rowes and Georg'e Windheim, in the regular two-men team schedule of three games, made a new tournament record in the national bowling tournament yesterday. They rolled a total of 1.243 pins in the threo games, breaking the record of Carl and Haller of Brooklyn, who rolled 1,230 pins in three games last Thursday. M'GRAW TO KEEP JOB New York, June 2. President John I. Brush of the New York National league club today denied a story that the club intended to oust Manager McGraw. According to the story McGraw was not to be offered a new contract at the end of the present season. Brush said that the contract held for two years and that there was no intention of letting Muggsy go.

makers in the field each paid $12 for "advance Information" slips which, as the management announced, were for sale to any person applying. As the slips simply contained notice of what jockeys would ride, the weight and the entries, most of which information could have been obtained by purchasing any morning paper, the prosecuting attorney got busy. He claimed this was simply a subterfuge to extract a slightly lower rate of payment than the for mer $17 daily, which used to be asked for the privilege of making a book in the field. Under the same system, now upheld by the court of appeals, the old method could be practically restored. It would be easy to charge $100 for "advance information" for the same slips on the lawn of the clubhouse and it would be equally easy to expel any man suspected of taking a bet without having purchased the slip. Bookmaking circles were quietly jubilant today and it is predicted that more activity will soon be shown at the tracks. JOHNSON IS 1ICJE0 TODAY Negro Will Defend Title Against Al Kaufman in Frisco. New Tork, June 2. Jack Johnson and Al Kaufman were matched late yesterday afternoon to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world. Charley Harvey, representing Kaufman, signed the articles for him, and Johnson placed his signature to the paper. They agreed that the promoter bidding the highest would get the match. Johnson refused to box Kaufman in San Francisco in anything but a twenty-round bout. "I'll fight Kaufman to a finish any place but San Francisco. I have my personal reasons for not wanting a longer contest in San Francisco," he said. No amount of urging would make the black champion tell why he didn't want to travel over twenty rounds in the greatest of all the fight centers. "He can have a finish in Paris, iM Nevada, Goldfleld or even at Jim Jeffries' old place outside of Ixs Angeies, bJt never In San Francisco," insisted Johnson. Johnson agreed that the mon ey should be cut 65 and 35. The latter part of July, the first of August or Iabor day would please Johnson. The champion was willing to make any sort of a bet that Harvey was willing to offer for Kaufman, but evidently Charles hadn't received the tip as to how Delaney wanted to lay his money. He said that he didn't care to give Mr. Johnson any side bet at the time of signing. SETS NEW RECORD Thompson Rolls 699 in Three Games in New York. New York, June 2.

McFarland has also received offers 1 1 box in Leavenworth. Fred Gilmore will take Cess Walsh, a 112-pounder, to Memphis, where Walsh will box Young Fitzgerald before the Madison club.

(Special to The Times,) Crown Point, Ind., June 2. The west's first great motor car race the initial contest for the Cobe trophy, which will take place In Crown Point and Lowell, is less than twenty days distant. Peo ple In Lake county, it seems, who live away from the course have not awakened to the realization of what the race means to the county, of the enormous amount of money that Is being spent, and the work that Is now taking place in preparing the race course and grand stands, etc. The work of resurfacing the race course has been a stupendous one and will cost he club little less than $40,000 before it is completed. A Times reporter, in making a trip around the route last evening, was little able to realize just how much work had been done in Its present condition. The west leg of the course, that Is, from Crown Point to Lowell, via Cedar Lake, is practically completed and the road is open to traffic. On the east leg about five miles yet remains to be recovered. Those who are In charge of the repair work say this will be completed by the 10th of the month. Work on the big C. A- A. grand stand Is being rushed. The press and judges' stands are also under course of construction. In Crown Point, Cedar Lake and Lowell there is a general bustle, and everybody is planning some feature for the races whereby they intend to get rich in the two days. Hotels and lodg ing houses are already contracted for and in many instances bams and storehouses are t ing taken as garages and ricultural association, whlcn contested the comission's power to prohibit bookmaking at the Latonia track, was filed in the state's highest court yesterdas-. "HUMAN FREIGHT CAR" TO FIGHT J. JOHNSON Lima, Ohio. June .2. Matt Glaser, representing Victor V. Vass of the Twentieth Century club of Philadelphia, today secured the signature of Ed Dunkhorst, the "human freight car," to articles calling for a six-round fight with Champion Jack Johnson in Philadelphia the first week in September. Dunkhorst is appearing in vaudeville here. lie said he. could easily get into condition and would take off a few poinds, though he weighs 417 now. Glaser says he came west especially to make the match, calling for a $5,000 purse, as eastern sports believe any big man can whip Johnson. "Bugs" Raymond is pitching good ball in spite of the fact that the Giants ! seem a pretty wabbly aggregation. Pitcher Bell of the Brooklyn team has been showing the heavy hitters of the National League some real pitching of late. The Detroit Tigers have had hard going with the eastern teams.
