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 starters.

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— 'Atlanta. . . Charleston. . . Savannah. . Augusts. . . . Birmingham. . Jacksonville.. Macon. . . . Columbia.. . 89,872 56,307 (Caff 39.441 83,415 , 28.429 23.272 21,105 Memphis. Atlanta.. . Nashville. . . Birmingham . Little Rock. . Montgomery. Shreveport. . Tots). . . . 683.2C Total ..fel,8» 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- Would Willingly Go to South At lantic. 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.

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.

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 lishing such a combination of fatscli<N»d and rot ia It any wonder thnt Smith and the Atlanta team can not get a square deal Iu the Crescent City?
