Special Correspondence.
New Orleans, Ln., Sept. 1.—Rather tho
most unusual phenomenon of the present
Southern League season has been the fall
ing swny of the week-dnjr crowds here
since the famous “rubber ball” Incident.
Nothing which has happened In a South
ern League city, save, perhaps, tho “dou
ble crosslug" of the Nashville fans, hns
done os much to disgust patrons of base-
bail with tho gsme as the charges and
unter-chnrges which followed Billy
Smith's famous escapade.
When the fans waked up to what hod
bnppeued and what charges were being
made, they sickened of baseball with a
rush. If such thlngn were going on, they
did not want any of the game for theirs.
Strangely euough, the people seem pret
ty well united In Mlcvlng Frank guilty,
and the slump hi atteudanccv which re
suited, has cut down the protit* of the
NeW Orleans club In a most , emphatic
manner. ,
Hence, tin? soreness at Billy Smith and
the Atlanta club.
The other tights in the league have not
done the nttendnnee here any good. The
people have concluded that beenuse one
crooked stunt was pulled ofT—or was "al
leged” to have been pulled off—that the
whole game was on the blink. Aud so they
have cut It out to some considerable ex
tent.
Of course, the fact that the New' Or
leans ttam of 1906 was a pennant winner
and that the one of 1906 was not has not
done any good. The fact that a pennant
winner hurts tho nttendnnee In the pen
nant-winning town the next year hns never
been more forcibly demonstrated than ln
New Orleans. The fans seem to think
that, because Frank has not u team this
season which can go out In front, tho
way his aggregation last year did, he Is
playing them false this year.
Of course, the Idea Is u mistaken oue.
Frank wns lucky lust year In lundlng
couple of cheap men—Dygert and Hahn—
who helped hln team wonderfully wKhout
costing him very much. Yet, It looks odd
to New Orleans fans that ho can not per
form this miracle twice running.
The attendance slump In New Orlenns is
not likely to be of long duration.
For one thing, the Innumerable amateur
and Independent teams are developing a
Hue of red hot fans who will eventually
turn to the Southern Lengue fold. And,
moreover, it Is not going to take the peo'-
pie here.^mauy more months to realize that
because one stunt that looked had was
pulled off, is no sign thnt the game is all
crooked.
And when this realisation comes, the
fnns will flock out again. In the mean
time, Frank nnd his backers are getting
a valuable lesson.
Cobb County Is Chortling
Over the Rise of N. Rucker
Ever since that cnlm nnd peaceful Fourth
of July In the year of grace 1904, when some
390 sturdy, stalwnrt sons of the old rad hills
of the county of Cobb mine down to At
lanta to see Nap Rucker, the beau snbreur,
the concatenated chivalry, the ne plus ultra
of Crnhapple, pitch his first game In the
Southern League, the Atlanta baseball dub
nnd Its management have beet; very unpop
ular In the aforesaid county of Cobb.
The chief grievance against the Atlanta
club seems to have beeu that Nap Hacker
couldn't field a bunt, nnd when the Mont
gomery team on that halcyon day In July
began to lay ’em down Nap almost spiked
himself In the nose trying to pick the ball
up.
Ab Fowell then let Nsp rest during the
remainder of the season, nnd Cobb county
got sore on him for his luck of judgment
in not using so sclntillsnt a twlrler.
As Nap remained nn asset of the Atlanta
dub the next year, when Powell sold out,
the new manager, Otto Jordan, gave the
hem of Crnhapple a trinl in the prelimi
nary games, lie was lambasted both by
Maoou nnd Jacksonville and wns then re
lented. Otto Jordan Immediately became a
ertonn non grata 111 Cobb, and many were
the roasts of him received by Atlanta sport
ing writers from the stalwnrt sons of Cobb.
Now, Nap has "learned some sense" dur
ing bla two years at Augusta, nud has been
drafted by Connie Mack.

New' York, Sept. 1.—There will be no
exception today for a record crowd at
Sheepshead Bay track, for with the
early hours of the morning thousands
of enthusiasts commenced to wind
their w'ay out over Long island with
Sheepshead track, the scene of the Fu
turity, a common destination. Later
on the movement grew Into an exodus,
every "L” train, surface car and Long
Island race special from Long Island
City groaning under the weight of Its
human freight.
No fewer than 40,000 persons will
acclaim the winner, W'hile at least
$1,000,000 ln currency is bound to
change hands between the public and
the bookmakers. With fair w’eather
prevailing right up to post call, a fast
track Is assured. All through last night
Superintendent Frank Clark had a
score of mule teams dragging fine-
toothed Australian harrows over the
course until the rollers which followed
the harrows had rendered the foot-
ting Just about as nearly perfect as it
Is possible to have a race course.
Sheepshead Bay, the home of the
Coney Island Jockey Club, Is awaiting
the oncoming of the hordes all splc and
span. In the early days of September
these old-time racing grounds are a
delight to the eye.
Within a few' hours the bugler, all
dandy ln his gold braid and official
accoutrement, will w r alk down to the
paddock gate. There he will send
forth a blast bound to set the pulse of
the 40,00 spectators a hurrying, while
It Is safe to say the tiny Jockeys and
the sensitive young • thoroughbreds,
restlessly waiting the summons to. the
lists, will Jump to attention.
The clarion bugle notes will mean
'saddles and whips" for the Jockeys,
and the racing to begin. The $50,000
horse race will be on.
Keene Entry Favored.
Peter Pan and Pope Joan appear to
have the best chance of taking down
the laurels. Bookmakers, In making
up probable prices, figured the Keene
entry a 12 to 5 first choice.
Next In favor is the entry 0 f the
Rainey Brothers, of Cleveland. The
Raineys paid $45,000 for DeMund and
$26,000 for Horace E. Neither has
come up to expectations, but they have
shown an improvement In form, which
makes them formidable factors in the
race. After the Keene and Rainey
entries, the professional price makers
and the public Incline to Conville, a
big handsome son of Dieqdonne, owned
by Thomas Hitchcock and John E.
Madden. This colt worked three-quar
ters of a mile In deep sand at the horse
haven course, in Saratoga, in 1:17. If
he ahowa thia speed in the Futurity he
will be the colt to beat. Either Walter
Mille or Sewell will ride him, and his
opening price should be about 6 to l.
Early today "Diamond Jim" Brady
was reported a buyer of Convllle. How
ever. the deal has not yet gone thfough.
Madden wants $25,000 and Brady Is un-
derstood to be haggling at $20,000.
These are the speculative features in
the Futurity.
Another candidate Is the Newcastle
stable’s Oran, winner of the $20,000
Great Trial, who Is asked to pack 120
pounds.
Kentucky Beau is a fine colt and la
In the race.
Trainer Billy Lakeland, of Bright
on Beach, has been dreaming for
months of a Futurity triumph with hla
Voter colt, Electioneer.
A Western tip Is J. L. Darnby’s Old
Honesty, a son of Previous, While J. E.
Seagram, of Canada, believes his Wa
tercress youngster, Pursland, poasessej
a royal chance. Charley Ellison has
Yankee Girl In the race.
Gold Ball Is the second string ln tha
Madden-Hltchcock bow. The big mys
tery of the 1906 Futurity Is May Rowe,
a daughter of Meddler, owned by John
E. Madden.

"Nap .Rucker Is no longer a bush leaguer.
He goes to the American, the fastest league
perhaps In the world. Jumped right
the Southern! Well, well, well l Who
would have thunk It! Wonder what "bone-
head" Otto Jordan thinks about It? Reckon
the "botieheaded one" will be called higher?
You know. Nap wasn't good enough to pitch
for Otto. Remember It, don't you? Didn’t
let him pitch a game. Just shooed htm
Now’ Otto Is still in the Southern, where
he will stay If he works right hard, but
Nap—where Is the feltnw who Otto said
had a noggin like n calf’s knee—a aolld.
mnrrowless bone? Oh, nowhere much. Just
up In the American League with Connie
Mack at Philadelphia. Thnt fellow’ Mack
must not hnve much baseltall sense. What
does he mean by signing Crabnpple Nap?
Why, hnsn’t Otto said thnt he was nuts?
That ought to settle the matter. The ora
cle hath spake. We wish Nap could hnve
seen Otto play first base In the double-
headrr with Montgomery. His revenge
would have turned to pity. Ily the way,
Otto Is clouting the halt In big league fasii
Ion now. Noticed It? Per cent: .239. Look
out. Otto; Brooklyn will lie wanting you

Becker was wild yesterday, which ac
counts for the severe drubbing he re
ceived. He was simply nut of form a* nil
other pitchers nra at times. "Kitty ’ has
lost only two out of the fourteen game*
he hns pitched here thh, season, and the
fans will certainly readily excuse him for
Ineffectiveness yeiterday.— Shreveport
Times.
The real excitement will begin Friday,
when the Atlantans come for three games.
The local fan* are keyed up to this se
ries.. expecting that an unusual amount of
trouble will result from the return of the
Quitters to the local grounds after having
titirred up such unwarranted antagonism
to New Orleans In the East. It Is hardly
likely that a demonstration will 1* made

themselves, but the fans have little

New Orleans, Aug. 31.—Leigh Carroll, of
New Orlenns, Southern chntnplon at golf,
Is enthusiastic ovOr the golf championship
which will be held next spring In Atlanta
over the Atlnntn Athletic Club’s new course,
though he expresses himself ns being some
what skeptical thnt the links will he In
condition for the championship next spring.
"We want to come up with twenty men
from here,” he said. "We hope to get a
couple of cars to ourselves and do It right.
Of course we expect the Atlanta people to
■weep the prizes pretty clean, but wfe want
to be there nnd see it done.
"I expect thnt the tournament in Atlnntn
will be the largest ever held by the South
ern Golf Association. We had over 100 here
In the qualifying round, aud Atlanta Is so
much more centrally located that they
ought to draw at least 20 per cent more.
The world's record for long distance fouls
was followed yestedny by the discovery
of the Imll hit by Meeks Monday. It was
located on Freeman avenue, several blocks
from the ball park.—Memphla Commercial-
Appeal.
Nashville has no league games today and
tomorrow. The Finns, though, will not be
idle. Mlque has hooked two gniues with
the semi-professional squad of Jackson, ond
will take on the weaklings just to see If
there Is a winning article left In the bunch
that halls from this city.—Nashville Ameri
can.
"With nn li-hole course, though, whirh
Is way-over 6,000 yards long, they ought to
be able to accommodate the whole crowd
nicely, nnd we,nra counting already on 1
flue time up there.
Judging from the Audohon Club cours#
here, where the championship was held
this spring, the golfers In the South art
due a pleasant surprise when they hit the
new’ Atlanta Rnka, The course here In at
Its worst at present, but at Ita best It Is
doubtful If It will compare with the outfit
at East Lake.
President Smith of the Southern Golf
Association hns made nn attempt to get
together a team In the South to go to St.

ship of America. None of the New Orleans
players were able to get away to make the
