Saratoga. N. Y„ Aug. 37.-Wltb the Sara
toga cup a thing of the past, the world of
racing la Just now. all ears and eyes for the
annual running of America's richest race for
J-year-old thoroughbreds—the Futurity. Thla
fatuous fixture Is down for decision ou tin;
occasion of the Inauguration of the autumn
term of racing at Hheepshead Bay, L. 1.,
next Haturday, 8cptetnl»cr 1. Its estimated
gross value Is $66,000—n regal fortune. The
owner of the colt, or filly to first breast tbe
Judges will take down not far from $3C,000.
Much Is horse racing in these twomlng'day*
of American prosperity. Home critics say
thla Futurity la the blggeat thing In the
year's racing calendar, not, to much bees use
of Its euornions value, but because the beat
sort of racing sentiment la wrought up
when n Futurity Is run, and by far tbe
Itcst class attendance of the season graces
the lawns nnd fills tbe stands down at
ftower-liedcckcd Hheepshead Bay as.the field
of equine (tables canters down to the post
In the mellow autumn sunshine. Ou next
Haturday probably 40,000 persons will ac
claim the Futurity winner, while tbe turn
over of money on tbe outcome of the con
test generally runs up dote to a million
dollars.
Before taking up the complexion of the
field of probable starters, It may be well to
understand Just bow a horse race like the
Futurity Is mndc to be worth ao colossal a
sum of money. In the Brat place. It la run
out of the Futurity course, which Is a little
over three-quarters of a mile In length—a
few yards. This course Is a "chute" which
runs like n stove-pipe with an "elbow'

oftentimes bolt away up to the outer rail
ing nnd before they can recover the lost
territory the onconiera sneak In on tbe rill
nnd get home through the short stretch to
a flukey victory. It Is for 2-year-olds—colta,
fillies and getdfngs—as aforementioned. Kay,
away back In 1902 a breeder down In Ken

at the same time enters tbe expected pro

No matter who wins the coming thor

the youngster wins the big race. Thla Is
done to encourage scientific breeding. Colts
entry 122 pounds and fillies 119 pounds. Of
course there are penalties. For Instance,
the winner of tbe Haratoga special would
lie penalised alx pounda when he came to
run In the Futurity. Horaea which had
never won a race are allowed three pounds.
It costs about $49 to enter up a horse,
while there are several assessments at dif
ferent periods the owner haa to pay.
fact. If the horse starts It means an outlay
of over $400, but thla Investment la worth
the chance with $36,000 standing aa the re
ward of success.
I’rohohly 90 owners contribute In entry

gives $10,000. „
This year the Messrs. J. R. and F. P.

Shreveport, Aug. 27.—Jlmy Archer Joined
the wandering Crackers at Little Rock Juat
before the team left for Hhreveport Hatur
day night. Hla arm and shoulder are not
enHrely well, but the premier backstop will!
tie available In carfe of accident or Incapaci
tation of any other player.
Hid Kmlth has been doing great work be
hind the bat, and Hoffman has been more
than holding hla own at third Knae, ao that
It would be had policy to break up a win
ning comldnitlon by putting Arrher In now,
anyway. Sidney Is sure lamming the bell 1
around some.

On our poor Mr. Mull, •
And yanked him right tip In the air,
But the fans and the pigs
Shook their heads and their wlga.
Ami pronounced It extremely unfair.
There la one. Mr.. Ats
Who, with bluster and hats.
Attempted Sir Shuster to malm;
And If poor old man Mull '
Got this horrible pall.
Why Ats should hare gotten the same.

transpired, wa* tbe property of Lefty

Montgomery playera objected to playing

Walnscott stood for this and a number of

3 NEW MEN
By PERCY WHITING.
Hhrevejiort, Aug. 27.—Manager Illlly Smith
haa called off hla scouting trip through the
atnte of Texas, having landed two ne*r
pitchers, a shortstop and Iwlng now on the
trail of an outfielder.
The hustling mogul of the Georgians Is
going to stand pat ou tbe present aquad for
this year, with the possible exception »f
trying out a new pitcher or two, and hla
efforts toward getting new material are
merely prospective of uext year.

Jimmy Archer, Atlanta's premier catcher,
en route to Little Rock to Join hla team,
watched the game Wtween trains. Jimmy
waa a warm Montgomery rooter, aa he aln
eerely Wlleves the Smith delegation will
get aecond money. He wagered a hat the
Georgian* would run one-two. "I don't
know what Smith wants with me," said
Arrher, "as Rbl Hmlth la catching the flneat

looks like Birmingham In a gallop, as th*
Barons are playing the game right up to the
handle, hut while there Is life there Is'
soap, snd one can’t tell In liaaeball when
the slide for life takes plare." Jimmy haa
thoroughly recovered from the Injury
hla shoulder sustained In a collision with
Walters. Incidentally, he wished to hr

RAREFIED AIR

By Private Leased Wire.
• New York, Aug. 27.—There la another
angle to thla Nelson-Gana fight which has
escaped the eye* of tbe crltlea, and that l«
the high altitude of Goldfield, Nev, Per-
amta who have never l>een In n town of
6,000 feet above the level of tbe sea ran
not really appreciate what a hard thing
It Is to exercise there. In Arisoua. tha
railroad goes over a past which la 6,000 f«tot
above the sea elvel, nnd many of the pas
sengers who have never Imsn over the road
before are taken with nose bleed. Ths
atr Is ao light that It effects them In this
manner, ami uinny of them do not recover
from It until they are ou the other able
of the pass.
You h"ve commented on the low weight
of Gnns and Xelaou. It did look strange
to read thnt l*oth men were down to 13)
pounds, sud hud Ihcii In tralnlug lmt hard
ly two weeks. A Nevada man who baa
been In New York upw aqya that In hla
opinion both Gans nnd Nelson will get
nto tbe ring uearrr 131 |M>unds than 133.
He aaya It Is list urn l for newcomer* to
one weight at Goldfield, us It Is 6,000
feet aliove the sea level ami very trying
on those who are not acclimated.
He aaya that he doe# not think the fight
will go over fifteen rounds, os the air
wilt affect them both, and that they will •
Imth Is- venr tired nnd• weak at the end
of the tenth round.
