Special to The llwrillll.
Little Rock. Jon# 22.—Thoroughly «1l«or-
ga nixed by Injuries to the player* mid dis
heartened by tli«* notion of the umpire,
who put Hid Smith out of the game. tlm
Atlanta team was beaten l*.r Little Rock
here yesterday by n score of 5 to 3.
•Tap" Jordan wan not In elutpe to play,
and Ktlnaon look hla place. Thnt put the
team way out of line, but when Hid Smith
wss "shooed" ntul first Winter* mid then
Crosier tried n whack nt third lame the
remit was awful.
The Atlanta team had one bad Inning—
the second. In this Inning Prenueu walked.
Orr got a safe Infield hit and Kletli I11e<l
out. Then came three errors In rapid suc
cession and it huso on ball*. The result
Was three runs, all of which were flukes.
The Travelers added another In the fourth
and another lu the sixth. Jnat to ellnch It.
These Inst runs came on hits, and lu this
sluggiug Meany figured prominently.
Keith, a I'nlversify of Arkansas star,
faced Zellnr, and with good sup|»ort they
would have put up a beautiful battle. Zel-
tar. however, was getting BV&fCVTJff.VG
BIT support, and the result was n victory
for the Travelers. Keith pitched magnifi
cent ball and looks to lie a And.

CREWS READY
FOR BIG RACE
• By private Leaned Wire.
Poughkeepsie. N. Y.. June 22.—Ouce more
Is the lethargy of tbla old town aroused
over an Intercollegiate regatta. One hun
dred men. representing the tast the col
leges have been able to develop by con
stant .training, will compete here tomorrow
afternoon lu the annual regatta of the In
tercollegiate Rowing Association. The craws
which will strive for premier honors rep
resent Cornell, Syracuse, Columbia, Penn
sylvania, Georgetown, and Wlaeotisln, and
the eve of the regatta finds the same ele
ment of uncertainty which hnn been char
acteristic nl the event since Its Inception.
Preparations have liesn made for a big
crowd. Already the town Is fllled with hun
dreds of graduates and undergraduates,
partisan* of the six colleges which will
imrtlclpnte In the regatta, dlseusalog the
jirobable winners til the three races which
will make up tomorrow’s program. The
town wears a holiday appearance, the col
ors of all Hie universities represented talug
displayed conspicuously In the principal
■treeta. The Influx tomorrow la expected to
ho In excess of anything ever known at a
.Poughkeepsie regatta, ami It Is predicted
that the largest crowd that ever witnessed
n rowing event In America wilt see the rival
crows struggle for honors.
As ts natural. Cornell Is the favorite for
the ’varsity race, but every trainer thinks
hla crew has a look-in, and their opinion
ts shared by the various crews.
Hyracuse seems to have suffered the only
real set-back In the withdrawal of young
James Ten Ryck, stroke of the freshman
crew, son of James Ten Ryck, the veteran
coach. Two days ago Ten Ryck wan sud
denly taken 111. Ilauks. No. 2 In the fresh
man boat, has t>een shifted to stroke and
f'heny. a substitute, sits In Ranks’ place.
The general opinion la that Ten Ryck will
net be In shape for the contest. The trou
ble Is with his stomach.
Another last-moment change took place
• In Cotumhln’a camp. The Columbia ’varsity
has been steered by Dorsey. W. H. Winslow
has been pat In the place. Winslow Is a
rouple of pounds lighter. w*etgblng only
If*. The crew Is protably the liest Colum
bia ever had.
Wisconsin's speed this year ft a surprise,
for the men were the last to give up the
old Idea of the lougstroke with a slow,
deliberate recovery. Since trying out In
llJf. Pennsylvania has np|M*nred satisfied
sed has not fried to Ifotter the uiark.

came In flu* fame and honor of the affair,
backed up with n harvest of 833,500 lu bets
mid purse money.
Rnrly today tbe nature of Ho lletwrcn’s
reward became kuown, when the hearty
owner aald:
"You nsk what la coming to Ho Ret ween.
Well, ns soon ns Ills nose showed In front
at the finish yesterday he won for himself
it place In my ‘gold book,’ Advance Guard.
Hunter Itnlnc, Zoroaster and a few others

vIP never draw u milk wagon: but after
hla racing days he will hsve nothing to do
but browse on rleb pastures and piny and
romp like a child without trouble pr care
until he goes beyond*with Myaonby.”
Shields Is a peculiar character. Below
tbe exterior of the man Is n warm heart
and plenty of sentiment wrought by forty
years of battling for a survival on the turf
In aU countries, and In all classes, and lu
contact with every type of man let loose.
He loves a race horse which does a good
turn for hitu as he would n man. Over at
llouud Brook, N. J.. where lie tins a brCed
Ing and training farm. Shields keeps old
Advance Guard up In bis knees In clover.
It wss this old fellow which really started
Shields upon a streak of luck which made
him a rich man. Hnc«> after race and liet
after het he won for Shields at Chicago In
1900, and was still winning stable expenses
long after Shields came from the West
Into the metropolitan Held. ‘ The, owner did
not forget It, for as soon as ’Vance went
lame, two years ago, his name was found
to lie registered In the gold book and away
to the earthly equine paradise ho went.
Now It Is In store for Go Between.

For Billy sura hates to lose.
Poor old Rube Zeller has lost three
games In succession on the road. And yet
In the three games he lias given hut
eighteen hits, an average of sis to the
game.
Harley baa not pitched a game since Jane

Keith, the college pitcher uncovered

II 1 Was hard lines that Bid Rmltti was

When Atlanta came to hat In the second

the Travelers had arrived. Morse singled.
Fox then doubled, scoring "Pop” Morse.
Htlnsoii hit safe, acoHng “Ills Leglets.”
With no one out n run-getting seance was
on tnp. But It did not eventuate, a* the

”IIara,” sporting editor of The New Or
leans Item, has had several Illuminating
things to say a taut the basetall squabble
now on. Here la j»ls latest outburst:
’’Manager Billy 'Smith, of Atlanta,. bos
made some charges which ho will hare a
hard time substantiating. Some of them
are:
.‘That when O’Brien slid Juto tbe plate
and slightly lujured Kvers In Saturday’s
game the Pelican third baseman made the
assertion that he tried to break Kvers’ leg,
baring hod orders from Manager Prank to
employ such tact lea.
"That when Rfckert slid Into Jordan at
second base the Pelican left fielder tried
to "put Jordan out of business,” In accord
nnee with the same lastrnctlons.
"That when tbe New Qrlenna team was
In Atlanta'Manager Frank tlsked his play
ers to ’pump* Atlanta’s suspended men to
fiud out whether they were drawing pay
from the Atlanta club whllf under sus
pension.
".Smith nlno intlmatoil that when Knoll
slid Into Archer st Atlnnta and slightly
crippled the Atlanta catcher, he did It In
tentionally. aud covered It up by feigning
sympathy for the Injured man.
"Somehow or other Smith always geta In
bad. He la a ‘bush leaguer’ of the most
prouonnred character, ami when be gets
Into good company be tries ’bush league’
tactics with disastrous results. He la care
less and.hot-headed, and Itas put himself
Into n hole front wbleh ft wontd ta hard
to extricate him If the matter waa pushed.
"It Is not necessary to reply to those un
warranted tsacrtlons. ss there Is not even
a knocker In this city who would talleve
that O’Brien, Knoll and Rfckert would ta
parties to auch transactions. Their reputa
tions aa gentlemanly tall players overtal-
a nee auch charges. Neither would they be
lieve that Manager Frank Is such a fool In
tbla business to employ ruffian tactics when
It la a matter of record that auch tactics
kill a ball cinb quicker than anythlug else."
