Atlanta team was beaten lijr Little Rink

••Cap" Jordan was not In shape to play,

The Atlanta team had one had Inning—
the second. In this Inning Drennen walked.

CREWS READY
FOR BIG RACE
Ry Private Leased Wire.
roughkeepslr, N. Y„ June 22.—Once more
I* the lethargy of ^bls old town aroused
over an Intercollegiate regatta. One hun
dred men. representing the best the col*
tegre have l»een aids to develop by con
stant training, will compete here tomorrow
nftcrnoon In the annual regatta of the In
tercollegiate Rowing Aeeorlntlon. The crewe
Which will Strive for premier honors rep
resent Cornell, Syracuse. Columbia, Penn-
aytvsnls, Georgetown, and Wisconsin, and
the eve of the regatta finds the same ele
ment of uncertainty which haa been char
acteristic of the event since Its Inception.
Preparations have been made for a big
crowd. Already the town la filled with hun
dreds of graduates nnd undergraduates,
partisan* of the sit colleges which will
psrtlelpote In the regatta, dlacuaalug the
iwnbahte winner a In the three races which
will make up tomorrow’s program. T\j#
town wears a holiday nppenranee, the col
ors of all the universities represented being
displayed conspicuously In the principal
streets. The Influx tomorrow la expected to
la In excess of anything ever known at a
Poughkeepsie regatta, and It Is predicted
thst the largest crowd that ever witnessed
a rowing event In America will see the rival
crews struggle for honors.
An la natural. Cornell la the favorite for
the ’varsity race, but every trainer thinks
his crew baa a look-in, and their oplulou
la shared by the various crewa.
Syracuse seems to have suffered the ouly
real set-back In the withdrawal of yctiug
Jamea Ten Eyck, stroke of the freabman
crew, son of Jamea Ten Kyck, the veteran
coach. Two days ago Ten Ryck waa sud
denly taken III Banks, No. 2 In the fresh-
man boat, haa been shifted to stroke and
Cheny, a substitute, alts In Rauka* place.
The general opinion U that Ten Kyck will
not l*e In shape for the contest. The trou
ble la with his stomach.
Another last-moment change took place
In Columbia’s camp. The Columbia ’varsity
has been steered by Dorsey. W. R. Winslow
haa I wen put In the place. Wtnatow la a
Couple of pounds lighter, weighing ouly
101 The crew la probably the beat Colum
bia ever'had.
Wisconsin's speed this year la a surprise,
for the men were the last to give up the
bid Ides of the long-stroke with a alow,
deliberate recovery. Blnre trying out In
19:54, Pennsylvania haa appeared satisfied
aad has not tried to better the mark.

By J. 8. A. MACDONALD.
Ily Private Leased Wire.
New York, June 22.—Alex Shields' satis
faction In winning a Suburban Handicap
came In tbe fame and honor of the affair,
backed up with a harveat of 933,500 In beta
and purse money.
Karly today tbe nature of Go Iletween'a
reward became known, when the hearty
owner aald:
'You ask what Is coming to Go Between.
Well, aa aoon aa tils nose showed In front
at the finish yesterday he won for himself
a place In my ’gold book,' Advance Guard.
Hunter Hnlne, Zoroaster and a few othera
are In there, and It meana that Go Between
wilt never draw a inllk wagon; but after
hla racing daya he will have nothing to do
but browse on rich pastures and play and
romp like a child without trouble or cars
until he goes beyond with Syaonby."
Shields la a peculiar character. Below
the exterior of the man Is a warm heart
and plenty of sentiment wrought \>y. forty
years of battling /or a survival on the turf
In all countries, and In all rlaaaes, and In
contact with every type of man let loose.
He loves a race horse which does a good
turn for him aa he would a innn. Over at
Bound Brook, N. J., where he has a breed
log and training farm, Shields keeps old
Advance Guard up In hla knees In clover.
It waa thla old fellow which really started
Hhlelds upon n atreak of luck which made
him a rich man. Usee after race and bet
after bet he won for Shields at Chicago In
1900, anil was still winning atable expenses
long after Shields came from the West
Into tha metropolitan field. The owner did
not forget It, ,for aa aoon aa ’Vance went
lame, two years ago, hla name waa found
to be registered In the gold book nnd away
to the earthly equine paradise he went.
Now It Is In etor* for Go Between.
Cheerful Baseball Dope
Written on a Sad Day
Right out of eleven lost on the road.
Gee, but that's an unfortunate average.
Any newspaper man who would like the
Job of Interviewing Billy Smith on "Our
Pennant Possibilities” can have tbe Job
Interviewing n gristly bear on 'Ttoosevrlt

prospect.
For Billy aura hates to lose.
Poor old Rube Zeller has lost three
games tn succession on the road. And yet
tbe three games be haa given but
eighteen hits, so average of alx to the
game.
Harley haa not pitched a game since June
Looks aa though he waa about due.
Keith, the college pitcher uncovered
Thursday by Little Rock, looks like a
wonder. Here's hoping. The Little Rock
team haa oertalnly ln*cn shy on wonders
up to now.
Meaney hurt Zeller's feeling* Thursday.
The way he batted was painful.
It was bard lines that fUtf Smith* waa
put out of the game. The tefm waa pret
ty badly crippled, evea when the game
started.
When Atlanta came to bat In the second
Inning It looked aa though tbe finish of
the Travelers had arrived. Morse singled.
Fox than doubled, scoring "Pop” Moroc.
Stinson hit safe, scoring "Ills I*eglcta.”
With no one out a run-getting aeance was
on tap. Rut It did not eventuate, aa the
rest of tb* bunch went out In fast time.
Zeller struck out eight meo and pitched
nice ball. If he bad had hla usual sup
port he would have won In flue style.

POOL ROOM MEN GET RESULTS
• FROM SHEEPSHEAD BAY IN
SPITE OF DETECTIVES.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, June 22.—Pinkerton detectives
pntroled the streets at Hheepsbesd Bay all
Kht night, endeavoring to outwit pool room
men and telephone company employees end
to cut wire# thnt carry racing Information
from the Shcepsbend liny track to the New
York pool rooms. The wires run from pri
vate bouses on Jerome nvenuc. facing the
race track, and they supply tbe desired In
formation to scores of |>ool rooms.
A few days ago itpcclsl telephone wires
were strung to a number of these bouses
from the poles on Ocean avenue, ltecelrers
were put In the houses and everything was
In readiness'for n man to station himself at
each window with a pair of field glasses
and telephone racing Information to hla
confederates; When the raeee took place
the pool room men were able to telephone
post time, scratches and added starters,
and the finishes of each rare, together with
other Information, and the pool rooms were
kept ns well posted ns tbe people In tbe
grandstand.
The pool room observers were able to see
ren the posting of nnml»ers of the winning
horses. Every pool room had an excellent
and minute description of the Suburban
from the start to finish. .
As the situation stands, the pool rooms
are ahead of tbe Jockey, Club and are
waiting for the next more.

’Ham," sporting editor of The New Or
leans Item. has. bad several tllumlnstlug
things to say shout the baseball squabble
now on. Here Is his latest outburst
'Manager Billy Smith, of Atlanta, has
made, some charge* which he will have a
bard ttme substantiating. Some*of them
ire: \ .
"Thnt when O'Brien slid Into the plate
and slightly Injured Evers In’Saturday's
game the Pelican third baseman made tbe
rtlon-thnt lie tried to break Evers’ leg,
having had orders from Manager Frank to
employ such tactics.
"Thgt when Rlckert slid luto Jordan at
second base the Pellcau left fielder tried
to "put Jordau out of business,*’ In accord
ance with the wfnie Instructions.
•That, when the Now Orleans team was
in Athautn Manager Frank naked bis play
ers to 'pump* Atlanta's suspended men to
flud out whether they were drawing pay
from the Atlanta club while . under sus
pension.
"Smith also Intimated that - when Knoll
•lid Info Archer nt Atlanta and slightly
crippled the Atlanta catcher^ he, did It lu
tcutlonally, and .covered It up by .feigning
sympathy for the Injured man.
"Somehow o* cipher Smith always gets In
bed. He Is n ‘bush leaguer* of the most
pronounced character, and, when he gets
Into good company he tries ’bush league'
tactics with disastrous results. He Is care
less and hot-beaded. and tas put himself
Into s hole from Which It would be hard
to extricate him If the matter waa pushed.
"It la not necessary to reply to those un
warranted assertions, as there Is not even
s knocker la this city who would believe
that O’Brien. Knoll and Rlckert would tw
parties to inch transactions. Their reputa
tions as gentlemanly bell players overbal
ance such charges. Neither would they lie-
Heve that Manager Frank Is such a fool In
this business to employ raffian tactics when
It* le n matter of record that such tactics
kill a hilt dab’quicker than anything else.”
It Is not right and Just that Shreveport
should gobble up Catcher Anderson. Llttl*
Rock got rid of Anderson to punish him
for assaulting Umpire Buckley. It l> re
membered that the big catcher struck tbs
frail umpire In the face, khocklng him
down. Inasmuch as this occurred In tht
presence of President Kavsuaugb. Anderaon
was Instantly discharged. Little Hock, In t
crippled condition, thnt did wbat was right,
but It regretted to see the catcher go. Now
Shreveport has gobbled the catcher up and.
Instead of being punished, the best thing
from s professional standpoint that Amler*
son ever did was when he struck Umplrt
Buckley. lie Is now with a better club ou<i
la Instantly restored to good graces.—Bins-
Ingham Ledger. •
The public Is rapidly becoming thoroughly
disgusted with all,tbe wrangling and re.
crimination being aired by some of the yd#
low papers of the South, and reprinted.
They have come to the conclusion thst tbs
lioard of directors of the longue should gst
busy and let tho public see reel ball gstue*.
More nolsf Is made than an attempt*! s»
oasslnatlon of the president would attract.
Mountains out of mole hide Is n very mild
way of expressing It.—New Orlenus Pics*
yune.
Tbnt'a right. Let's have real baseball.
But remember that It can't bfjdayed with
"lively" ltails, with metal catcher's Ik»i«c
and thnt It Is uot considered good bassbtB
etiquette for, oue player to try to kill »»•
other duriug tue progress of a gams.
Charging that the Montgomery club hu
entered Into a conspiracy to secure hwkll
players from other clubs. Manager Frank
this morning declared that he would bring
positive proof of serious charges In « short
time, -says a New Orleans dispatch.
The New Orleans manager gave out fee
publication a letter from .Pitcher Goodwin,
formerly of Montgomery, to "Chic" C*rg%
the Pelican shortstop, hi which the former
tried to coerce the latter to secure bis r*
lease from New Orleans lu order thnt tbf
Montgomery dab could slgu him. The lri»
ter to Cargo Is said ta have been nddressj*
to Mrs. Cargo.
Manager Frank declares that It I* hi* ba
lief that Goodwin was Induced to wrltr
latter by Manager Mullaney. He wW «*
wouldn't publish the letter 'before. I^soi#
he wanted to take tho .matter up will
President Kavanaugh.
Some lively developments may occur, n«w
that the local manager has l>een prm-tMiy
adjudged guilty of "ringing” In "rul'bsr
balls on visiting teams.
