and careful study of this course Since
we have been here, amt we ore willing

he will tie the piloting correctly If we

lish nnd American "Cumbrldgera" hn* oc
casioned quite a* much Interest along the

There is uo disguslng the fact also that
it tuny lack In weight It will more thau
make up in speed and generalship, for the
latter qualities have always chuntcterlxed
the efforts of this splendid young roach.
Frank Rlake tins been coacbtug three year*
now, and in that (icriod lui* lost only five
games, and failed to score In only two of
those. It would not l*e surprising to hi*
many friends and admirers to see him
coaching a Idg college team next year. It
|H said that several universities have becu
dbkerlng with him for terms.
Rlake uses the Yost-McGugln ‘'hurry-up’*
*astent, with variation* and addltious of
Harvard hn* won many *tnunch support-
er* from the very rank* of Engllsh-row-
Ing cracks.
On every hand, continent* concerning the
respective abilities of the rival eight* can
In* heard, but never u harsh word against
the lads who have come from across the
seas to contest with thu best college onr«-
men of the Ilrltlsli Isle*.
The odd* on the outcome are close to
even money, with a shade In fnvor of the
Americans. A number of tbiugs have en
tered Into the shaping of these odd*. Tlie
Harvard Itoy* have been subjected to the
closest scrutiny during their dally practice
spins on the river, with the result that
every trick and catch of their rowing Is
known. Even the inoat ardent pnrtlsnn of
old Cnntah must confess that the form of
the Americans Is per/ect. They # nro train
ed to the hour, and show no evidence of
having been through one gruelling contest
already tills yenr.
On the other hnnd. It must ho admitted
that the Englishmen are not perfectly, fit.
They have all the confidence needed, hut
their work d«*es not show the united finish
of lheir rivals, and when they have been
subjected to severe strain, they show signs
of exhiuiHtien. This I* not true of the Har
vard hoys. Even after their most severe
trials, they have come down the course
without appnretit fatigue.
There Is a vast difference In the style of
the two crews. The Harvard boat Is rig
ged with all the modern appliance* to aid
the rower* In their work. Sliding stents,
swivel outriggers, lightweight—nothing ha*
been omitted. Thus aided, the American*
go to their work with a long slide, which
lengthens out their pull to a very appre
ciable extent. This arrangement makes It
possible for the rower* to put every pound
of strength Into the stroke; legs, body mid
arms all contribute something to the re
sult. With the English rowers. It Is dif
ferent. Their stroke la governed front the
waist up, and the greatest burden come*
upon the anus nnd the small of the hack.
While It Is possible to give some Idea of
the style of the two crews nnd their vis
ible condition. It will t>e quite Impossible to
get any adequate line on them until the

SOMETHING ABOUT COURSE.
The Putney course I* not straightaway,
ns the case on the American course*. The
Thame* between Putney nnd Mortlakc bn*
the shape of n great hprse shoo magnet,
with the legs turned outward, thu* mak
ing a course with three turns. The north
ern side of the course, or the outside of the
horse shoe, Is on the Middlesex side. It
Is evident to nny one who will look nt
the map, thnt the crew having the Middle
sex berth will have the same ndvnntnge
ns the horse which hn* the position on
the rail. Should the crew holding the
outside of Surrey berth succeed In holding
their boat on even term* with the favor
ites, they will have a great advantage
when they turn the curve Into the main
body of the horse shoe.
The final curve of the course has been
estimated to Im» worth three-qtinrters of
a length to the crew having the Middlesex
berth. It Is plain to In* seen, therefore,
that should the crew In the Surrey |»osl-
tlnn secure a lend of a length on the great
curve nnd still maintain Its strength, Its
chances of winning are of the best.
It Is stated thnt the Cambridge crew
phi ns to stnrt Immediately and gain what
ever advantage Is possible on the outside,
with the hope of placing Hnrvnrd In the
stern position and tiring her out. If the
Hnrvnrd measure fooled by such tnctles It
will be their own fault, for they know
Just how long It will take to cover the
course, nnd It I* supposed thnt they will
row at their average speed throughout,
paying little heed to the tactics of the
Britishers.
Th*' course I* 4*6 mile* long, a half mile
longer than the Yale-Harvard course nt
New London, but thl* fact will not cause
the Harvard crew nny worry, for the race
Is to lie rowed on the flood tide, which
will more than compensate for the extra
distance.

ATLANTA MAY RUN SECOND
IN SPITE OF HARD LUCK
Memphis, seventy-three—fifty-two.
New Orleans, seventy-one—fifty-
four.
Atlanta, seventy-two—fifty-five.
That's how the teams stand now In
the race for second place.
Memphis has won only one more
game than Atlanta and has lost three
less.
That would not be a great many—If
the season had happened to be young—
but quite a few with only a ,x(eelc and a
day to play.
The season ends next Saturday. At
that time Birmingham will be declared
the winner of the great and glorious
rag—which rag will be formally award
ed to Birmingham at the meeting of the
Southern League, which will be held
In the Alabama metropolis In Decem
ber.
This Is now a double-rlvlted, special
ly reinforced, one-best-bet sort of a
cinch. Every man on the Baron team
can fall dead this afternoon and yet
the Barons will win. There Is nothing
to that, and hasn't been—not since It
became evident that the Southern
League, out of what looks like a rather
misguided spirit of generosity—decided
not to go into the Castro matter.
But second place is still open. And
Atlanta, New Orleans and Memphis are
Pet.
-572
•5*1
running nose and nose—In the reven.
order from that named.
Atlanta has nine more games to pi 9v
Including Saturday's contest. Memohfi
has eight.
Well. If Memphis loses five anil win,
three and Atlanta wins six and lotei
three Atlanta will get second nine.
The standing will then be:
Club. Won. Lost.
Atlanta '. 78 58
Memphis 76 67 , ,
This winning of second place ought
not to be so difficult a matter. Shrev,.
port and New Orleans come next week
and they are both good clubs. But At.
lanta Is the best In the South on her
own grounds and six out of nine. In.
eluding one from Little Rock, ought te
be quite ctnch-llke.
As for Memphis—next week Babb',
hired men will have to tackle Mont,
gomery and Birmingham. The former
team ought to win a game or two and
the latter to cop the majority. If the*
do, then Atlanta will win second pine,
nnd the team will get that thouaanil
dcdlnrs. For New Orleans does not
seem to be In at present, though the
Pelicans din win a game FiM.-ir.
It will take hard work and good link
to land Atlanta second—but herc'i
hoping.
If Atlanta can finish second to Btrm.
Ingham It will be the best performance
of eastern clubs since the league was
organised.
Salvidere Looks the Best
Among2-Year-Olds of 1906
By J. S. A. MACDONALD.
Now York, Sopt. 8.—Early lit the yenr the
experts conceded the 2-year-old champion
ship to Water I’enrl. Then ltefore the run
ning of the Brighton he sprung a squeamish
tendon and went out of training. Within
the very next week three comparatively un
heard of *tar* calmly moved within the
sphere of the championship ken—Salvidere.
Electioneer nnd Fountnlnblenu. Since then
their performances have been so high class
ns to make Water Pearl nnd Oran no bet
ter than equals. With the Flntbush Stnkes
over, the 2-year-old championship laurels
must be flunlly awarded to one or other of
the above trio. There are but two others
worthy of consideration. A filly, James R.
Keene's Court Dress, has shown so well In
her stake engagements she really deserves
a ranking with the very top-notcher*.
Then Oscar Lewlsohn's colt, Yankee Gun,
ran so strong n fourth to Electioneer, Pope
Joan nnd De Mu lid thnt he Is regarded by
many of the experts as the best youngster
lit training. Pope Joan, despite her Futur
ity performance, Is too wblspy to gain the
sntlle of n sharp observer.
The Flntbush running has not definitely
settled the question of the championship
In my mind. When the weather gets n lit
tle bit cooler I should like to see Salvidere,
Fountnlnblenu. Electioneer, De Mttnd, Yan
kee Gun, Peter Pan and Court Dress run
down a seven furlong straightaway. MalvI-
dere ought to win. The absence of the
much-heralded colt. Jack Atkins, Is re
gretted on all sides ns much bernuso of the
popularity of “Harney" Hchtieber as the
quiet understanding of the youngster's abil
ity to trim the best of the New York "ba
bies" when right.
Horace R„ another colt brought East hy
Sehrleher. and which he *old to the
Messrs. Rainey for $25,000, I* too small and
light In flesh to show the class credited
him. He has not growu an Inch since
leaving Memphis. Tonn., Inst Mny. All In
nil, I regard Salvidere ns the greatest colt
of the year, with Water Pearl almost ns
fast and classy. Hnlvlderu went to John
E. Madden from the sales ring for $3,700.
He has won Just $41,560 for Madden since
then nnd could uot be purchased today for
$40,000.
