Terms for the sale of the star pitcher were agreed upon several weeks ago, but the check from Cleveland was not received until Thursday. Kid Nlckoll* has also been sold to the Philadelphia Americans, but no check has been received here us yet. Tom McCullough, secretary of the team, says this will not Interfere with the closing of the deal, as terms have been agreed upon and efforts are being made by the Philadelphia Americans to buy George Suggs, but no deal has been dosed anti probably will nbt be, as drafting season opens tomorrow. Bow Bill Gannon, wanted by Atlan ta and the property of the Memphis team, has been suspended by order of Secretary Farrell, of tho National Baseball Commission. Gannon Jumped the Memphis club Ibis season und played with the Al toona club. Three weeks ago he jump ed the Outlaws and went back Into the organized fold, playing with the Albany team of the York State League. As soon os the Memphis owners learn ed that he was playing In another or ganized league, they took steps to have Gannon placed on tho blacklist. The Atlanta team wished to purchase Gan non. but Billy Smith refused to give the $500 asked for him. The large crowds this season have made a new grand-stand for 1907 im perative and arrangements have been made to replace the pres ent dilapidated stack of wood by a modern steel constructed double- decker. The bleachers will be torn away and one wing of the grand-stand will tako the place of the sun god stand. The new bleachers will be In right back of right field and first base, where the 25-cent patrons will get full benefit of the sun.

New York, Aug. 3).—The great Futurity worth about $50,000, Will lie run over the slx-furlong straight course at Klieep*hend Bay tomorrow. The prediction* are for fa vorable weather, and the Coney Island Jockey Club nntlelpntcs nti attendance of at least fio.ooo parsons. The Futurity 1* the largest stake offered In this country for horse*. It Is not nn old event, lmt I* the precursor of a number of fllmliar lurgA stake*. like the Mntrou, the Brighton Produce and the like. None has attained the celebrity of the Futurity, how ever, which has eotne to most race follow ers outside the regular track contingent to be the one race of the year, to rank at least with the Suburban and Brooklyn Handicap ns nn event to be watched nt nil costs. The stake was started In 1888, and the very first is deemed in some respects the l*st of the series, Proctor Knott defeating tht mighty Salvator In u great race and win- nlug a fortune for hi* owner, who was accounted a poor man to be In such com pany. The race In 1891, when HI* Highness defeated Yorkvllle Belle and iHtgonst, was another one to lie remembered. Jn Ms* Domino nnd Boldilu* were the contenders, beginning then their remarkable rivalry for turf honors. In 1S97 came the greatest surprise of ths series, when L'Alouette captured the stake; an utter outsider, wholly unregnrded by ths vise ones In turf form. Since then colt* like Ballyhoo Bey, Snlvnbje, Hamburg Bells and Artful hive captured the stake, fully rewarding the hopes of n majority of ths student* of . form. Special to The Georgian. Comer, Us., Aug. 31.—Comer won the second grftuo of the series with WoodVllle Thursday afternoon hy the arorw of 2 to 1. It whs by far the best game seen ou the local diamond this season.

Woodvllle defeated Comer Wednesday afternoon by a score of 7 to 2. The game was called In the sixth Inning on nrconnt of rain. Sorrell* pitched for Comer, and Brooks for Woodvllle. Some Facts and Fancies About Thursday’s Games Inasmuch as Atlanta Is tied with New Orleans for third place, there Is another reason for hoping for the verdict In the series now being precipitated' In Pelican- vllle. Birmingham pounded Keith and Mcany all over the field In Little Bock and won by the score of 8 to 2. The Travelers are the Joke team of the Southern League. They hove won only five games out of thirty with Atlanta thl* year. However, White, a new outfielder, made four bits out of ns timuy times at bat. That sterling pitcher from Cave Springs, Gn.. Frank Sparks, of the Phillies, let the mighty Giants down with two hits and nary n run. He was opposed to Mathewson, too. Sparks has been pitching superb base ball all the year, but has usually been un fortunate in getting poor battlbg support. Although outhatted nnd outflelded, the Chicago Spuds defeated the Cfncles Thurs day by a nlnth-lnnlug finish. New York's eveu break In tho double- heudci with the Phillies nnd Pittsburg's victory over St. Louis gave the Pirates the lend for second place by .006 points. This fight for the place seeui* to be the only feature left of the Nntioual Longue race. ilacon beat Augusta Thursday by ths score of 4 to 1, thereby putting another crimp In the Tourists' hope for the South Atlnutle League pennant. Savannah man aged again to heat-the Jays. Young Doyle*, the Three-1 League pitcher whom Clark Griffith picked up laat week, seems to be n stnr of brllllnvcy. Not only , did he trim the bcavy-hlttlng Cleveland er* In the first game he pitched lu fist company, but Thursday he let Waihlug- ton down with two hits nnd no runs. Shreveport is getting her bumps from the Eastern team*. Montgomery got away with n ten-lnuing 2-to-l victory Thursday. SMITH NAMES HIS SLABMEN By PERCY WHITING. New Orleans, La., Aug. 31.—Manager Smith has made his pitching assignment* for the New Orleans series. Harley will pitch the game this afternoon, Zeller will work Snturdny nud Tom Hughe* will try to put the ludlan *Ign on the Pelicans Sun day. Immediately after the game. Hurley will leave for Atlanta, where ho will pitch tho opening game of Monday'* double-header. Both of the Imbor day game* at home will be plnyed In the afternoon. Hughes I* put on the Sunday Job be- enuse of hi* Imperturbability before a big and hostile crowd. If anybody can turn the trick In the face of a New Orleans Sunday crowd, chilly Tom 1* the man. It I* undeintnod thnt Morse will not get bark from Cincinnati lu time to join the team here, and thnt he will not he avail able before Monday's game* nt home. Until he arrives, Archer will catch, Smith play third, Hoffman short nnd Evers center- field. Morse's absence will hurt. The Dutch man was hitting .400 on the trip, and field- lug ns well a* he ever did. SHORT FIGHT IS EXPECTED By W. W. NAUGHTON. By Private Leased Wire. Goldfield, Nev., Au*. 31.—Joe Gans and Battling Nelson may hold different views on some subjects, but there is one point on which they agree. They both think that their Labor day tight will be over within an hour. Each of them told me so today. "Of course, the end may come soon- er," said Nelson. "It may not last half a round. I'll go at Gans the wuy I go at every one I meet, anti as he says he will stay with me from the Jump, there Is no telling the moment .some* thing may drop." The Dane proceeded to explain why he felt that victory would come his way. "I am not making any mistake about Gans' cleverness," he said. "I know he Is one of the grandest boxers nnd one of the most thorough ring generals that ever wore gloves. I ad mit that he (s a dangerous man." Nolan has accepted a bet of $1,000 to $800 on Nelson. There Is all sorts of odds made and all sorts of bets, some at even money. Goldfield’s streets are already thronged with atrungers, and every train that arrives adds to the congested condition of affalis. 8alt Lake and Denver appear to be particularly well represented. Many of the visitors want it to be understood they are here to look over mining property prot>o*als, but being here will attend the Queensberry func tion. RACES ON LABORDAY in a long time.
