ON SHOWERY DAY
EASTERNERS LOOM LARGE
IN RACE FOR PENNANT
Well, well! watch old BIrmtnfhnm climb.
From nowhere at all to second place In
no time at all. Pretty floe Milling.
President Joyner, of the local club, said
Friday, "I'm not afraid of New Orleans
at all and fihrereport does not worry me
e • much. But that Birmingham team!
It Is certainly aimed for the top.**
Just how It has happened is hard to
aay. Birmingham had juat such a winning
streak as this once before this year, bnt
It did not last, and wheu the bunch quit
trotting and went Into n break It wns nil
orer for a month or so. .In fact, for awhile
it looked as though* Driver Vaughan were
never going to get the* aggregation back
on Its pins.
- The other time that Birmingham was
going at such sn awful clip the prediction
was ventured that the Barons were playing
a little "better than they knew how.” This
statement was proved correct when the
' Barons went to pieces In such sad stylo
’ and slumped to nowhere.
Whether they are only hitting It In the
; high places or whether the team has really
» rounded out into a first division aggrega*
tlon la bard to tell, for It has b<ft*n some
I little time since the Barons were here.
And when they were hero last they cer
tainly did not show pennant winning form.
Hhreveport Is holding the lead In the
Southern League by a very narrow margin
and the (Hikers will have to bustle If they
hope to hold it. Birmingham Is only .006
from the lead and New Orleans la Just .011
from It
If Atlanta can do ns well, or nearly as
well, against the Western teams during
the coming stay at home ns she did the Inst
time the Westerners were here the Crack
ers will go right to the top. And the
chalices seem to be pretty good. The bunch
is certainly In good condltlotf now, per
haps better than ever before this season,
and with good luck the ending of the com
Ing stay at home should see the Crackers
pretty close to the top. Probably the fight
will be between Birmingham and Atlanta
for first place' at the end of the Western
Invasion—though this business of long range
predicting Is a rather duhljpa one.
The fonr teams In the second division
keep about the same distance apart and the
affair down at that end of the line Is
something of a procession.
WRESTLERS NEED A REFEREE
Everything la In readiness for the
wrestling matches Monday night with
( the exception of securing the referee.
(Manager Charlson wishes to get some
local man, who knows the game and
Who can be depended on to give n fair
decision. Several men have been rec
ommended to him and he hopes to se
cure some one who Is satisfactory.
All the men who will take part In
the bouts are now on the grounds and
working hard.

; The New York Americans did great work
• with the stick In their recent series with
' Philadelphia, making 40 hits to thflr oppo
uents 23 In the four games. And yet the
best they got was an even break in the
scries.
Three outfielders, four tnfletders, three
pitchers und two catchers make up the
Boston National's squad on their Western
trip. This la the limit for economy In the
.Mg league.
At present the Western League‘race looks
to be a one-team affair, with Des Moines

from "Doc” Shively ns to the organisation

It Is said that the long season, with con
tinuous baseball nearly the whole year,
has dons much to hurt the game In Cali

It looks as though Grand Rnpids and

.6o0 class, two In the .600, two lu the .400,

’{'he
le American League I, tearing Itself to

In a game at Washington between Wssh-
Ington and Detroit "Wahoo 8am” Crawford
bit a ball very high lu the air and It fell
Juat Inside the lino to first bsse nnd conse
quently In fair territory. The ball had a
cut, however, nnd took a queer bound
which rolled It Into safe territory.
Umpire Hurst called the hall fair and
"Wahoo Ham” took two bases.
Now here’s where tho word "settles"
comes In. The rules say that a ball which
"settles on foul territory between first
or home plate” ls'a foul ball.
Umpire Hurst contended that, owing to
the ”nlUtmUotisnesa” of the bill It "set
tled” on fnlr territory and that the bound
it took afterwards did not count. Manager
Ktahl, of course, said the ball ought to
be called foul.
President Johnson has tho matter under
advisement now and will soon give the
waiting world something nuthorltattvo on
the question of tho word "settle.”
In the meantime It looks to us as though

Hpeclnl to The Georgian.
FltsgeraUI, Ga., July 14.—Quite an Inter
esting sporting event occurred here last
night In the wrestling bout between Kd
Deese und Bernard Coyle, both of this
city.
The bout was advertised to come off at
the local opera house, but at tho last
minute was changed to the skating rink
to better accommodate the crowd. The
ntest wns spirited and Interesting
throughout.
Deese won in three straight falls. Dr.
Tom White acted ns referee.

New York, July 14.—Within a rabbit’s
Jump of t where the ocean surf’s foamy
crest breaks and splinters In the base of
midsummer sunshine, the $25,000 Bright
on handicap will be run and won this
afternoon upon the course of the Brighton
Beach Racing Association, at Brighton
bench.
The Metropolitan handicap, at Belmont
park; the Brooklyn handicap, at Graves
end; the -Suburban handicap, at Sheeps-
head liay, have all gone before, but It re
mains for the Brighton handicap to achieve
tho distinction of ranking as the richest
and most Important of the series. Thu
Brighton handicap Is for t-year-olds and up
at 1*4 miles, and Is run as the fourth
race.
The Brighton handicap has a reward of
$26,000
Not Sewer than 40,000 people are expect
ed down nt Brighton, while $1,000,000 cau
bo reckoned upon as the probable turn over
between the 234' bookmakers and this vast
army of specula tori. Already the great reg
iments nre on the move, every trolley nnd
surface car from the city groanjng as It
wends Its way toward the sea and the
scene of the contest.
At this time, Hamburg Belle, "the Queen
of the Turf,” seems to be favorite. Win

New York, Joly 14.—The East Is bowing
and scraping to the West Just now. That
Is, so far aa the turf is concerned. Once
again after a lapse of many years two dis
tinctively Western race horse products nre
running over the flower of the metropoli
tan stables. Daring the last ten days.
Ilara’s Horn, winner of the 1906 Montgomery
handicap at Memphis, Tenn.. and Sir Huon,
victor in the last Kentucky Derby at Lonls-
rllle, Ky., have shown fully the mettle and
the good thoroughbred substance xrltbln
them by simply toying with strong fields
of local horses of their age and respective
Both Ram’s Horn and Sir Huon took
high-class honors with clean heels during
the last ten days. Ram’s Horn won the
Bay Ridge handicap Monday at Sbeepshead
Bay In a romp.
While the doggedly provincial New York
ers plied thouaanda and thousands of dol
lars Into the betting ring on Bedouin, at
3 to 1, Bookmaker* “Jimmy" Duckworth,
"Charlie" Ellison, "Johnny" Fay, George
C. Bennett and Bookmaker "Jack” Sbehan
waited until Bookmaker "Bill” Cowan, the
richest and reputed wisest money handler
In the ring, bad posted 4 to L Then came
the educated Western play.
Tho aforementioned element plugged the
4 to 1 down to 12 to 5 at the very close.
After the smoke bad cleared, Cowan
stood a $22,000 loser, while Tyler, Lichen-
stein, Rose and Hanff, other strong book
makers, also showed deficits to the play
of the race.
W. 8. Williams substituted Shaw to place
of Perrlne, who bad done most of the
riding when Ram’s Horn had up the colors
at New Orleans. Ram's Horn ran his
characteristic race. Cedarstrome, Bedouin
nnd Logistllla made all the early running
and irben the field bad atralgbtened oat tor
tbs run boms through the stretch, Shaw
shook up Rom’s Horn. With his ears
pricked bark as If be liked the Job on
hand, the big striding fellow Just "ate up"
the front runners, one by one, until be
found himself In the lead long before the
finish. Then he came home on the bit.
Sir Huon’s vindication came with tho
running of the $17,000 Commonwealth han
dicap of a mile and a quarter for three-
year-olds and upward. Here again the
New York specnlatora couldn't see the pos
sibility of a Kentucky Derby winner rang
ing alongside the runner-up to a Brooklyn
handicap and a Suburban handicap win
ner. So It was when betting ensrfd on
the race. Sir Hnon went from 12 to 1 to
30 to 1 in some books at the close of bet
ting, while Dandelion, whose second to
Go-Between In the Suburban handicap had
been his previous performance, stood a Jl
to 6 favorite. 8ir Huon had run the Sat
nrday before In the Advance Slakes, where
Flip Flap won with Whimsical second nud
The ‘Quail third. Troxier rode a poorly
Judged race, getting ‘him into numeroua
pockets and making two or three different
runs for the leadership. .
Sir Huon trailed h!8 field for awhile and
then finished in the ruck. Then came a
week of light galloping before the Com
monwealth handicap of Saturday, July 7.
This week improved Sir Huon very murk,
for he came to the post perspiring freely
and like the proverbial "house afire,” ^—
' Trol
ler waited on the early pace, but drew up
coming Into the stretch. A quarter of a 1
mile from the finish Dandelion fell with
four of the contenders within two heads
of him. Sir Huon was on the outside a ad
gaining In every Jump. Of course when
Dandelion went down It was all over but
the cashing of Sir Huon bets. He won
going away. However, I fed the best horse 1
In the race was Sir Huon and he would ^
have beaten Dandelion to a moral certainty.
Between Ram's Horn and Sir Huon ths
local handicap horses and the local three-
year-olds will he kept hopping In order to
protect the home laurels.
