Purchase Wins First Start; MishapBeatsQmarKhvyyam Poacher AJso Lands Purse for Hildreth on Initial Appearance; Viau's Imported Steed Spreads Hoof and Is Forced Out of Elmonfr By W. J. Macbeth ! The fellow who first made that crack "He who hesitates is lost" was ? jjst talking: through his hat, that's all. AVho ever hesitated more about starting a hor?e than did Sam Hildreth in his cogitations over his three-! year-old colt. Purchase, which cost him a small fortune at last fall's j dispersal sale of the Brighton Stable? ? ' Sam had this good one entered somewhere 'most every day since the ! opening of the Belmont Park meeting, but never, until yesterday, did he send him to the barrier. They finally cut this Purchase loose in the third race at a mile. And what a horse! It seems a pity now they ciidn't wait till to-day's Suburban for the introduction. There would have been a great price in that field, and Purchase galloped home so fast and easily yesterday lie looked as if he might have gone on well for any dis? tance up to a mile and a quarter, any? how. If the stable connections thought they could fool anybody by scratching Purchase seven times straight before they felt themselves absolutely safe, they were badly mistaken. The players i all teok to Purchase like ducklings to ? water. The chestnut colt was just about the most heavily played good | thing of the Eastern season to date. Gallops Fast Mile That mile over a lightly showered j track was just an exercise gallop for i Purchase. Never once did Taplin let down the son of Ormondale. He gal? loped the mile in the fast time of 1:37 1-5, and he probably could have! beaten the record if there had been any company tit to make him extend him- ' self. The Ilildreth colt, which made every post a winning one, breezed home on the bit a half dozen lengths in front of Thunderclap, after bearing out badly, at homo turn and through the El ' . by and large it was quite a Hildreth benefit, yesterday's racing i. gramme. Eddie Taplin made it a 1 ' average of 1.000 for this owner end trainer when he spread-eagled the | i^-iii in the fifth race, at a mile, with Poai . This one, out to the races the first time, had been "scratched" Bin as often as Purchase. Ho was even a surer thing and at a better , pr. e the way the race was run. Starter Mars Cassidy staked this; particular favorite to n half dozen : lengths advantage by sending the field j away as Poacher raced up to the bar- ? tier. Good as the others may have ; It ? hey had little chance after such ' t ' . which was very, very bad for1 iv- ? g but Poacher. Soon Loses Competitors ffaj in sent the Star Shoot gelding . ?1 . it a merry clip all the way and completely lost all his competitors j t. ' y down the stretch. Stitch In ; time was much the best of the others, j Lucius, off poor;y, quit badly when c. I upon in the stretch. : >ur winning favorites, all well Bl? .. made it a salubrious afternoon for the talent despite the showery * r. The only startling upset de I a ; a result of an accident in the Elmont Handicap, fourth on the car... and supposedly the feature when V.' . ! Yiau's famous Omar Khayyam, .ipread a hoof and finished absolutely "ir." fact that Johnny I.oftus rode Omar, which was reported to be in top form, induced a very heavy play on t- : ported Marco horse. But acci . der'- happen in the best regulated fcor families. Omar Khayyam will BBvi - . be thrown out of training for ?Ome mo nth 8. With him eliminated from the race ear ?. ii : roved only a breeze for Will? iam Martin's light weighted Valor. Ca an goi this or.e away winging a- . - a killing pace every foot of the dista. :e. Natural Bridge was the only er.e that could keep within gunshot and he 'rawing Valor by a half dozen lengths at the finish. Two Fitst for LoftuB Johnny Loftus, like Taplin, won the brackets twice during the afternoon. With Enfilade over the six furlongs (?Straight course he outrode Rylvestra, ?itl Taplin up. Johnny had the leg on 1 Man o' War, odds-on favorite of the eloi g dash at five furlongs. This one prowl one of the finest looking two year olds seen in some time. Man o' War galloped away from his company ?' nished under triple wraps in the eomn mdable time of 0:59. rig Or'ri had plenty of luck, as *<? : at plenty of speed, in the open . i.';- ' . n of five furlongs.

It is i a gala day; a society day. A day, for ? Mew York at least, mucn tne same as Derby Day is to the phlegmatic Briton. Whether the field be good, bad or in? different; whether the weather bright or dull, fair or wet, the scene of the . Suburban Handicap is almost sure to attract a record attendance to the : shrine of sport. This year's running of the Suburban Handicap should not bo lacking in any of the many strong features that usu ; ally go to make Suburban Day a high, I light on the sporting calendar. Enough : thoroughbreds of approved class?nfrom the eligible ages have been named' overnight to star? as to assure a class i of competition unusually spirited and | thrilling even for this renowned clas i sic of the Eastern turf. And though the stake has but $3,500 j added subscriptions already paid in assure a rich purse for which the best of the eligiblcs will surely start re j gardless of weather and track condi ? tions. Rain May Be Factor No less than eleven high class thor j oughbreds have been named for this ! year's Suburban, and it would not be j at all surprising if one or more were ! added at the last moment. The con I dition of the track, of course, may af i feet the class of the field to a certain degree. But what little rain had fallen up to a late hour last night could no more than well lay the dust. Possible showers are predicted for to-day. But the course is well drained, and barring a heavy and steady down? pour is likely to be good, if not, indeed, lightning fast for the big race. If the track is fast A. K. Macomher's ; War Cloud will probably be favorite. ' This one will be ridden by the veteran : Willie Knapp, and is reported to be in ! top form. War Cloud never liked the ; heavy going, and unless the track is i fast it is very unlikely that he will ; face the starter. Another that is bound to command | due respect and consideration is Willis ?Sharpe. Kilmer's four-year-old Ex? terminator. This one, winner of the Kentucky Derby last year, will be es? pecially favored if the going happens to be heavy. It waa in the mud that he, a rank outsider, carried off the Kentucky honors. Another one which is a mud running fool and which should show to advantage in slop or putty is George W. Toft's Papp. R. T. Wilson, jr.'s, Corn Tassel, like War Cloud, will scarcely accept the issue on any but i a lightning course. Two in Coe Colors The Coe colors will be well repre \ sented in Sweep On and Over There, both in rather light ?among the select company involved. Harry Payne Whit? ney's Vindex, which disappointed both in the last Kentucky Derby and the late Preakness, is one that is always dangerous in any company. So far in : his stake engagements he has refused ! to run to his form in work. I G. D. Widener's Lanius, with Johnny ? Loftus in the saddle, is another that i should command attention. This com ,' bination has already accounted for one ; stake, though not in a field of such quality. The Suburban Handicap, which was inaugurated by the Coney Island ; Jockey Club and first run at Shecps '? head Bay back in 1884, is a race for ' three-year-olds and upward at one mile and a quarter. All of the candidates named for to j day took their final workouts Thurs i day morning. War Cloud and Papp i showed the best form in these, trials. Racing Summaries Belmont Park, June 6 ?rifk??

Suburban Handicap Willard-Dempsey to Box On July 4, Rain or Shine Rickard Not to Post? pone ; Champion Misses Punch and Takes Fall TOLEDO, June 6.?Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey will meet in their heavy- I weight championship contest here July 4 whether there is a clear sky or a rrriv ing rainstorm. Tex Rickard promoter of the match, made this announcement to-night in denying reports that the contest might be postponed until the next day if incdement weather cropped up. "All talk of a postponement is idle," Rickard said. "I am taking this stand now for the benefit of the public. There will be thousands of persons in Toledo from every part of the country, and to ask them to stay over for another day would be imposing an undue hard? ship. "It is possible the contest may be delayed an hour or two, but it will not be postponed." Seat Sale $300,000 Rickard announced that the advance sale had reached the astonishing total of $300,000. This indicates, it was said, that the total gate receipts will exceed $500,000. It became known to-night that Wil? lard is after Clay Turner, the Indian light heavyweight; Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh, and Bartley Madden, an? other light heavy, to work with him Jfatwthorms E3F-^- -^?g?j As a horrible example of what might happen under an "anti-dry" r?gime, yesterday stands out vividly in the mind.-; of lawn tennis players and fol? lowers of the game. The single, day of 'fc-ain completely upset the schedule of the women's Metropolitan champion? ship tournament at the West Side Tennis Club, and a repetition to-day will still further complicate matters. Miss Marion Zinderstein and Miss Eleanor Goss were to have played their semi-final round match in the singles at 3 o'clock yesterday, and later in the afternoon wer? to have paired in the doubles and played Mrs. George W. Wightman and Miss Eleanora Sears for the championship. The semi-final round matches in the mixed doubles were to have been played also, reserv? ing the1' singles final and the mixed doubles final for to-day. As it was, this is what actually happened: Early in the forenoon, "Mike," the head groundman at the Forest Hills club, spread the huge tarpaulins over the Xo. " and No. 3 grandstand courts and then twiddled his great thumbs and hoped for the best. Early in the afternoon Mrs. Edwin Cornell Dublo, the chairman of the tournament committee, and the committee itself arrived at the club? house and all hands surveyed the dreary spectacle. "What is more forlorn than a tennis court during a rainstorm?" somebody wanted to know. But nobody knew. A few minutes later Miss Zinderstein, Miss Goss, Mrs. Wightman and Miss Sears arrived, arrayed for the courts. A consultation was held, and it was de? cided to give the elements every op? portunity for being decent, and not to call the schedule definitely off until 5:30 o'clock. A few minutes later William T. Til den, 2d, national clay court champion; Parnhaim Too Much For Jersey Skeeters BALTIMORE, June 6. ? Parnham emulated the mighty "Babe" Ruth in to-day's game with Jersey City, his pitching and batting being responsible for Baltimore's victory, 5 to 3.

The champion intended to do five miles on the road this morning, but became lost in the outskirts of the city and covered seven miles before reaching home. In tht? afternoon he boxed six rounds, three each with Jack Hempel and Walter Monahan, worked with the pulleys and wrestled. Champion Takes Flop The champion fell to the floor of the ring during his set-to with Hempel when he missed a punch and became overbalanced. He enjoyed a good laugh when the crowd of spectators roared over his spill. Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight champion, started a lively argument to? day on the advisability of training in the sun for a contest to be fought, in the sun. Kilbane, who trained for five twenty-round contests in the open in California, claims it is unwise for Dempsey and Willard to work with tho blazing rays of tho sun beating down on their unprotected heads. "No boxer ever lived that could train under the burning heat for several weeks and not have, his vitality sapped," Kilbane said. "The idea that a boxer should train in the sun to harden him? self to conditions likely to prevail when he goes into battle is wrong Ho should train in the cool of the day and then he will not be robbed of his energy." ^m?s]s?ptss ?=^=====^,-?^^ W.

Injunction Against $4,500,000 New York issue Is Sustained Appellate Division Decides Mayor and Aldermen Must Not Sell Corporate Stock to Foot P. S. C. Bills The Appellate Division in Brooklyn j yesterday affirmed the decision of Jus? tice Cropsey, of the Supreme Court, re- ; straining Mayor Hylan and other mem? bers of the Board of Estimate and the Board of Aldermen from selling $4,500, 000 worth of corporate stock which was to be used partly to reduce the tax ! rate and in part to defray the expense? of the Public Service Commission. Jus- ' tice Cropsey issued a temporary injunc? tion on February 26, from which the city authorities appealed. Justice Kelly, who wrote the major? ity opinion, said: "The finances of the city cannot be administered by bond issues authorized on mere guesswork and appropriations which do not even purport to be bind? ing or legal estimates. So that, com? mendable as are the intentions of the. Controller, I cannot see that there is any legal basis for this attempted diversion of the expenses of the com? mission. "That body has so far failed to make the necessary certificate or requisition, ? and I do not ?ee how the Board of Estimate can make it. Upon these grounds I vote to affirm the order." In this Justices Putnam and Mills concurred, the latter holding: "If this reasoning of the appellants be sound, then it would be competent . for the Board of Estimate to look over | the city records for any length of time, ! even fifty yekrs, and if it could find j therein any sum of money in any year had been included in any tax levy to ! pay the purported obligations of tho : city illegally issued it would be com- i potent for the board to issue the city's j obligations to raise the money repre> ! seined by these payments in order to ' reimburse the taxpayers of the city, albeit at the expense of the taxpayers ! fifty years hence."

Mrs. Nellie F. Austin, of Sebastian, Tex., whose husband and son were : killed by Mexican raiders on their , ranch thirty miles north of the Rio Grande on August *?, 1915, testified to? day for the defendant in the libel suit of Henry Ford against "The Chicago _ ., ' Tribune. Her testimony and that of V. L. Con? rad and Koscoe H. Smith followed the ruling of Judge J. C. Tucker that the defendant might introduce testimony to sljow actual conditions along the : Mexican border, leaving it incumbent upon the defendant, to show that the writer of the alleged libelous editorial headed "Ford Is an Anarchist'' had such knowledge in a general way at the time he wrote the editorial. Direct evidence for tho plaintiff was concluded in the forenoon. A deposi? tion by Mrs. Elinor Mc-dill Patterson, one of the owners of "The Tribune," was ruled out. It related to her ac? quaintance with Count von Bern/storff in Washington, an acquaintay.ee ?jfhicn Mrs. Patterson deposed she broke on" ?Titeen months before the United States entered the war against Germany. On this point Judge Tucker said: "It does not strike me her ac? quaintance with Count von Bernstorf? would cut any figure in the case unless followed by some overt act or some conspiracy or something of that kind that was connected with this saco. Mere acquaintance with somebotly, even ; if he was an enemy, ought not to projudice the case." Mrs. Austin told her tragic story in a low but clear voice, in which there was a quivering note indicating the ef? fort she was making at self-control. ; She said she was born in Vermont fifty-eight years ago, and went with her husband and one son, Charles, to Sebastian, nine years ago. Smith's testimony served as a preface to that of Mrs. Austin. He was at Sebastian, a mile and a quarter from the Austin ranch, working at a coin cutter with Mr. Austin and the hitter's son, when a band of Mexican raiders appeared. They robbed the general store and a detachment of them rode away, taking the two Austins with them in a cart. Mrs. Austin told of her terror when I the detachment, numbering- five men. entered her house, and of efforts of her husband and son to reassure her. The bandits took a shotgun and a rifle and some ammunition and rode away, with Austin and his son still in the cart. "I must have become, unconscious, and when I came to the dog was lick? ing my face," said the witness. "When I could muster the strength I followed and found the bodies of my son and my husband. They were dead -mur? dered." ?

Newton 0. Baker, .Secretary of War, in a letter to Governor Allen of Kansas, answers tho Governor's charges that the 35th Di? vision was mishandled in France during the Argonno defensive by asserting that when the proper time comes he will be glad to see an investigation of the mat? ter. Just at presen:, says Secretary Raker, while the troops are being brought home, and in the absence of necessary documentary evidence, it would he unwise to open such an in? quiry. Extracts from his letter follow: "I appeared before the Committee on Rulos of the House of Representatives en January 24, 1919. at the invitation of the committee. The qi .-stinn was whether an investigation shout?l be or? dered, based on certain allegations that have been made with reference to oper? ation of the 35th Division in the Ar gonne. In closing my statement I said: "'The War Department is exceed? ingly anxious to have the people of the United States learn in the most author? itative and positive way the exact facts. The only thing that I doubt, about ti?* pending resolution is whether th re is available in this country the doc .men? ta ry evidence, or whether thero are certain persons who ought to be hoard before any sort of judgment could be rendered. Our army still has 2,000,000 men abroad.
