SAhATOGA.
Saratoga, N. Y„ August I.—Fully ten
thousand people saw the Saratoga han
dicap won and lost. It was a great
first day for the carnival of horse rac
ing. Long before the hour of leaving
the down town district for the track
a ponderous apectacle was presented
on Broadway. Just before the noon
hour the big hotels emptied thousands
of smartly gowned women and their
escorts Into the thoroughfares. Soon
a cavalcade of automobiles with smart
equlppagss of all aorta appeared In the
roadway. Later on the exodus along
Union avenue to the racing course oc.
curred and once again Saratoga en
joyed Its hearty "darby parade.”
Though the field for a handicap was
small, and of medium class, a great
race ensued. Early In the day It T.
Wilson, Jr.'s Gsllavant and Jos
Egan's Red Leaf were reported added

MEN WHO ARE HELPING BIRMINGHAM WIN.
HARRY VAUGHN.
MOLE8WORTH.
Here are three members of the
bunch which Is making Birmingham
famous. i
Big Harry Vaughn was caught In hi*
characteristic attitude when watching
the game.
Molesworth Is In his favorite pose,
which shows his batting crouch. Hard
ly another .picture of "Moley" shows
him any other way.
Dale Gear, who managed' Little Rock
last year, Is one of the most valuable
members of the Baron's staff.
Memphis Team Is Going Up;
Crackers Hold Their Own
That Memphis team la doing a mountain
climbing act these days thnt Is hard to
beat.
Sunday's games put the Burglars ahead
of New Orleans, ami Babb aud bla buneb
are now In third place.
Wbnt Charley Frank will aay to Bubb
for his nerve In actually passing hia pet
ted Pelicans iu the rsce Is hard to 'tell,
but doubtless It will be something warm.
Atlanta still bafc fourth plnee clpcbed, and
the Crackers are only .Ofa behind New
Orleans. If the Atlanta team will only
do as well as usual against Birmingham,
nnd then take the same kind of a fall out
of Nashville that everybody always takes,
the chances for going up are more than
bright.
With a crippled and slightly disorganised
team, however, It Is likely to be n dim-
cult matter.
Up to Monday's game, Birmingham has
hml the better of.It with Atlanta. Of/the
twelve games played to a finish, IUrmlng*
bnm has won seven nnd lost five.' Two
were tied.
Atlanta's showing with other teams Is of
Interest From Nashville, the Crackers
have won the most games. They have
taken twelwe ytif of rlie sixteen plftyed.
Next best him f*een the work against Ut«
tie Rock. The Travelers have given up ten
out of thirteen. Against Shreveport. At.
lanta has succeeded hi getting just aa
even break—six games apiece being ths
record. Against New Orleans. Atlanta
ha* done well. The Cracker* have taken
eight games nnd the Pelicans five.
Up to Saturday, Montgomery and Atlanta
had had an even break, but when Kuta
Zeller copped the double-header. It put At
lanta ahead—nine to seven.
The Memphis team Is the one which has
rubbed It Into Atlanta at every stage of
the game. In fact, four out of twelve
Is the best that the t Crackers have been
able to accomplish against ths Burglars.
Rube Zeller won a trip to Atlanta by
tnkfiu tath games of the double-header
Saturday. Before the game, he asked Billy
Smith for permission to. go hack to At
lanta to gee his wife, who has been quite
seriously III. Billy said that If he wou
both games for Atlanta he could go back
to Atlanta.
What Rube did to the Montgomery hat.
tors Is history. And Sunday, he spent in
Atlanta. He rejoins the team at once,
nnd will leave Monday night for Bir
mingham.
REVOLT FROM SOUTHERN LEAGUE POSSIBLE
Atlanta Is Sick of It
and Wants to
Change.
Tbs Atlanta Baseball Association It ripe
>r a revolt from the Southern League,
and for s transfer of allegiance to the
South Atlantic. «
If Atlanta made such a move, It Is be
lieved that the Birmingham Baseball Asso
ciation might ta Induced to get In Hue.
With Atlanta and Birmingham added on
to the present South Atlantic League, It
would become one of the heat paying and
moat compact of minor leagues.
Lowry Arnold, a prominent member of
the local baseball association, nnd a man
who has been often mentioned to succeed
William Karanaugb as president of the
Southern Association of Baseball Clubs,
said: "I hope some day to see Atlanta and
Birmingham members of the South Atlantic
League.”
When asked for an opinion, President
Joyner, of the local association, said: "I
would welcome the change. I am tired of
tbs domination of Charley Frank, and of
ths rough deal we are getting from 1'rcsl-
dent Kavsnaugh. Birmingham Is heart and
soul with us Iu this proposition.”
Whether the local association really In
tends to take any action along thla line Is
not known. It la certain, however, thnt
Birmingham haa been sounded on the
proposition, aud that the Atlanta Associa
tion Hs driven to desperation by what It
considers the nnjust discriminations of
President Kavsnaugh against Atlanta and
In favor of Charley Frank and New Or
leans. -
Undoubtedly, the proposed league would
make a good one. In population, It would
only be a little mrtre thnu half the also
of the present Southern League, but what
It lacked In population, It would make up
In compactness, and\ In the shortness of the
Jumps between the cities composing It.
A comparison of population of the present
Sou^iera League and the South Atlantic
with the proposed changes—census of 1900—
follows:
SOUTH ATLANTIC—

If the attendance figures. Instead of the
population, were used, the balance would
be more In favor of the proposed "of*
larged” South Atlanta. Birmingham,
for example, which ranks fifth In pop-
ulatlon In either league, threatens to lead
the Southern this year In attendance, and
Atlanta, which Is third In the Southern In
population, will surely be either second or
third.
On tb? proposition of compactness, the
new league would be hard to bent. Four
cities In the league would be In the state
of Georgia. Tho other four are within
easy striking distance of thla state.
In fact, It Is likely that the league
would not have to pay to the railroads
more than half aa much as the Southern
now pays. As the league would have no
"Sunday towns,” there would not need to
I»o any long Jumps for Sunday games, and
the attendance would be steadier through
the week.
Lowry Arnold, while not. perhaps, en
thusiastic over tho jfroposed new league,
Is yet thoroughly disgusted with the pres
ent arrangement.
"We can get iio Justice In the Southern,”
he said. Atlanta Is always In the hepe-
lew minority. Charley Frank, of course,
has the vote of the New Orleans club;
Memphis Is with him, body nnd soul. Cap-
tnlu CrsVford, «rer In Shreveport, Is on
especially friendly terms with him, and
thinks thst anything that Frank does la
right. In consequence, Shreveport Is al-

way* In line. Little Rock la dictated to
by President Kavsnaugh, and Knvannugh la
always behind Frank, for some reason thnt
I do not understand. Worst of all, Frank
seems to have Nashville In line, and ao
we are hopelessluy outvoted.
"Look at this rubber ball ‘Investigation.*
It was Impossible for ns to take It up at
once for reasons which were sufficient, and
should have l»een satisfactory. The obvious
place to hold the meeting was In Mont
gomery. We could have had the Investi
gation when the New Orleans team waa
there, an(\ so would only have had to
bring our witnesses down there. But no;
Kavannugh ordered us to go to New Or
leans. Well, does nny one think' wc were
going down there, pay out hundreds of
dollars to get our witnesses there, and then
have Frank line hla flv£ votes up behind
him nnd rote that no rubber balls were
nsrd?
"That la only one Incident of a score
thla year. At every turn we have got the
worst of It from President Kavanangb. Bo
I trust that we shall be side to get ont
of the Houtbern League and Into the South
Atlantic.”
President B. H. Baugh, of the Birming
ham Baseball Association, Is personally op
posed to any change from the Houtbern
tangur. Just what the other backera of
the Birmingham association would think
of the change la not known.
Whether any action will be taken, time
will tell.
It remain* to be considered what three
organisations think ntant It. These three
are the Houtbern league, the Houth At
lantlc League and the National Associa
tion.
A Thousand Men Will Shoot
in Big National Tournament
By Private Leased Wire.
* Seagirt, N. J., Aug. 6.—New Jersey'*
state range Is being prepared for the biggest
rifle tournament America baa ever seen.
At least 1,000 sharp-shooters, the pick of
the army, navy, marine corps and Nutlouql
Guard, will be here ly August 27 for the
annual championship contests with rifle
aud carbine, revolver aud ptatol, under the
auspices of the National Board for the Pro
motion of Rifle I’ractlce, the National Itlfle

Thirty-five state teams have already en
tered with four from the regulars and one
from West Point, In the nn So tin I team
match for tennis of twelve for the nntionnl
trophy authorised by congress. If the New
Yorkers, who won at Fort RUey Iu 1904 nnd
at Heaglrt In 1906, are to make It three
straight, they must defeat the fiercest op
position this match has yet developed.
The new contestants this year are Aln-
bnma. Arkansas. Ixnilslnnn, Mississippi,
Colorado, New Mexico nnd Oklahoma.
The Georgians, who In the middle of the
nineties used to sweep everything before
them at Heaglrt, are not coming this year.
Thar say they nre going to spend their
money practicing nt home and come north
next year and sweep the field.
Victory In the national match, according
to refle experts already here, probably rests
among New York, the United 8tates In
fantry, Ohio, the marine corps. New. Jersey
und the IHstrlet of Columbia.

Billy Smith has been reinstated.
The glad news hit Atlanta Monday morn

on the diamond after a gouie waa over.
President Kavanaugh'a "foot slipped"

Hamilton, of The New Orleans Item, does
not think much of Billy Smith. Here ore
some of the things he charges against
the Atlanta manager:
That he has tried to rim the league.
That he Is alleged to have tried to box
Shuster's ears. »
Thnt he has failed as a manager.
That he Is n bush leaguer.
That his tactics have done the league an
Injury.
That he haa tried to ruu other managers
out of the league.
That he was once regarded as a "pretty
clever sort of a chap."
That nobody expected much of Atlanta
with Smith at the helm.
That he haa spent more than the other
managers.
That he has disregarded the league
rules.
That he tried to employ nineteen uien,
In spite of the fourteen man rule.
That he has violated the salary limit.
That he refused to help the dubs which
needed players.
Now, with papers In New Orleans pub

‘prospects thnt the Gnns-Nelson fight will bs
pulled off In Snn Francisco according to
Battling Nelson. He returned to his hotel
this morning, nnd deelgrtd that he did not
know tJw irberefltants of WJy Solan, hh
manager. He wild Nolan was still lu the
city, nnd would meet Eddie Graney soma
time today.
"Goldfield has dealt squarely with us, and
In spite of the big purse offered by Saera-
Ineuto, $42,000, we nro compelled to pull tbs
match off nt Goldfield," said Nelson.
Nolan hna charge of things, nnd I am
confident that be will, not change his pres
ent plans. Graney will sfrlvo some time
today, nnd Nolan will meet hJm. They
will probably meet In Ogden. Goldfield baa
granted every courtesy we have asked, and
I have no reason to believe he trill deviate
one Jot from bis plans.”
