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.

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?
