ATLANTA MAY RUN SECOND IN SPITE OF HARD LUC Perhaps no craw svar sent abroad has attraotsd more attention than this on*. They went unheralded. The money to send them was quietly raised and they ware shipped to England. But since they have been there they have done stunts which have interested all students of rowing. The ersw was most warmly . _ ceived in England and its members have won innumerable friends. Memphis, seventy-three—fifty-two. New Orleans seventy-one—fifty- four. Atlanta, seventy-two—flffy-flve. 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 week and a day to play. The season ends next Saturday, that time Birmingham will be declared the winner of the great and glorious rag—which rug 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-rivlted, special ly reinforced, one-boat-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 whnt 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 arc running nose and nose-in the re order from that named. veri Atlanta has nine more games . Including Saturday's contest \i.Jh has eight. ’ •jj'rapt Well. If Memphis loses five „ na three and Atlanta wins six amt i three Atlanta will get seen The standing will then be: ^ Club. won. Lost.

HOW CAMBRIDGE WON THE GREAT RACE Putney, England, Sept. 8.—The winning of the Cambridge crew from Harvard this afternoon was one of the finest contests ever rowed on the historic Putney to Mortlake course. At 4 o’clock the wind freshened and cut up the water of the Thames, which was petting In with the last of the flood tide. This put an obstacle In the way of the rowers which smashed all hopes of making the course In record time. It was 4:23 when the crew put their shells In the water. The actual start of the race was two minutes aiiead of schedule. Harvard won the toss for positions and had the Surrey berth, while Cambridge was in the Middlesex position. The real advantage at the start was with Cambridge however, for the Middlesex side of the river at Putney forms the Inner course of the first turn. So nt 4-28 the race was on. Cambridge, taking full advantage of her position, put her full power Into the stroke and succeeded In gaining a slight lead at the very start. Harvard struggled beautifully and In perfect form to keep up with the Flngllshmen, but they were at great disadvantage against the wind and the cantabs pulled away to such an extent that Cambridge waa two and a quarter lengths to the good at Crabtree. The boys from tho United States did not lose heart for a minute, but plugged steadily along. On the other hnnd the long continued strain had begun to tell on the leaders, who began to fall back a bit, so that when the crews came under Hammersmith bridge the Yankees had made up a length and a quarter. Inch by Inch the crimson boat ate Into the lead of Its rival. As the crews passed Beverly Brook Harvard was onlv one length to the bad and the rowers were still In as good form as at the start. Now the race was nip nnd tuck, Cambridge striving to null a-.- \y and Harvard bending every effort to come In oven ^ Loid'klllls the boats were still Just about ft length npart, the bow of the crimson being on even terms with the stern of the light blue. Each ctew was putting It up to the tune of 37 strokes a minutes. As the racers came up Dovers, watchers on the bank saw the light of confidence grow bright In,the eyes of the giants from America. Captain Fllley called for a spurt, and the fight was on. Little by little, but with the precision of fate, the crimson shell answered to the strength of her drivers. Little by little her bow was pushed UP along the quarter of the Britishers. Even as they were about to snatch victory from defeat, the Har vard boat went wrong. These races on the Thames are battles of coxswains, anyway, and It Is probably due to the superior knowledge of the waters of the course stored up in the memory of Cambridge's pilot that she won. How ever this may he. certain It Is that the Harvard boat went wrong at Chiswick. Blagden steered his boat out too far la the stream and that Is the story of hts crew's defeat. At Thornycrofts. Cambridge was leading by one nnd a half lengths and at Devonshire Meadows there wn« two lengths botween the boats. The race was won then, and the Cambridge men let up .. little, whereat • ilr. Harvard boat e»aln caught up a little and finished only two lengths In the rear. Ule The official time of the Cambridge crew was 19:18. NAT KAISER & CO. Confidential loans on valuables.

Rcpt. ».-Hourt Ik-fore the time set for the great contest between Harvard nnd Cambridge over this histori cal conrse. the river hanks ' '"blgc. were crowded and every available point on the water was occupied by boats gaily Tbe light blue colors of Cambridge pre dominated. but there was also an ahim- dant sprinkling of crimson. Many F.ngl sh- men wore rite two colors In combination, There seemed to lie an unanimity of opln, Ion tttnt tho rsee wuuhl be the greutest International affair ever contested between oarsmen, mid while some In-t. are being made at odd, of 0 to 5 In favor of < nra- t,ridge, It was the genrnt belief this morn ing that the affair Is nu even money prop- ONltlOD- _ Nobody denied that the Harvard men are In |»«>tt«*r form, but. on llu 1 other huml. the Cambridge oarfliuen had the Advantage of greater familiarity with the course, which I* an Item of no small Importance In a race of this kind. An effort was made this morning to se- cure some expression of opinion oil the outcome from both csptnlns. Captain Goldsmith, of the Csutabs, said before the race: - . "Please do not think that we do not real ise that the Americana are foeitien worthy of our greatest efforts. We have been greatly pleased with the attitude of the jnukco captain nnd hi* men. anti are sur- prliMHi at their wonderful Improvement In form since their arrival nt Putney. But, of course, we expect to win. We beltovs we are Just a* fast a* the Americans, ami have the additional advantage of being fa* ml I In r with the tide* nnd eddies of tbe river We do not expect to win by a groat margin, but we certainly should come home to Mori lake fully a length lu the lead." Captain* Fllley posseaed nil the confidence born of full strength nnd perfect reliance upon his crew motes, lie said: "We came over here to win, and hope to realize our expectation*. A race of this klnil depends upon the knowleiige of the coxswain fully os much n* the oarsmanship .f the crew. Blagden has made a special tnd careful study of this course since we have been here, nnd we are wllllug to sit lu front of him, and Jndleve that he will do the piloting correctly If we furnish the speed." The race between the crews of the Eng- ] I all and American ’’Csmbridgers*’ lias oc casioned quite n* much Interest along the Thame* a* the usual Inter-university race* between crews of the KnglUh colleges. There I* no dlsgusing the fact also that Harvard ha* won many stannch support er* from the very ranks of Eugllsh-row- Ing crack*. On every hand, comment* concerning the respective shuttle* of the rival eights can be hoard, but never n harsh word against the Uila who have come from nrroes the seas*to contest with the beat college oars men of the British Isles. The odds on the outcome are close to even money, with n shade la favor of tbe Atnerit-ait*. A number of things have on* tered Into the shaping of these mills. The Harvard Lu»* bare been subjected to the closest scrutiny during their dally practice spin* on the river, with the result tb.it every trick and catch of their rowing U known. Even tho most ardent partisan of old t’antah must confess that the form of the Amerlcnua. Is |H*rfect. They are train ed to the hour, nnd show no evidence of having been through one gruelling content already this year. On the other hnnd. It must 1>e admitted that the Englishmen are not perfectly Ut. They have all the confidence needed, hut their work doe* not show the united finish of their rivals, nnd when they have b subjected to severe strain, they show signs of exhaustion. This Is not true of the liar- vs til boys. Even after their most severe trials, they have come down the course without apparent fatigue. There Is n vast difference In the style of the two crews. The Harvard boat Is rig ged with all the modern appliances t< the rowers lu their work. Nlldlng atents, swivel outrigger*, lightweight—nothing has been outltt«i|. Thus aided, tbe Aniericnni go to their work with a long slide, which lengthens out their pull to a very nppre- clnhle extent. This arrangement makes It possible for the rowers to put every (Round of strength Into the stroke; legs, body and arms nil contribute *ometlilt*g to the re lit. With the English row.T*. It Is dlf- •rent. Their stroke Is governed from the alst up, and the greatest burden comes mui the arms and the small of the bnek.. While it Is possiblo to give some Idea of the style of the two crew* and their vU Ible condition. It will he ipilte Inipomdhlc to get any ndei|unte line ou them until the 00000000000000000000000000 o o O UNASSISTED TRIPLE O O MADE BY BIG MURCH.

The Putney course Is not straightaway, a* the case on the American courses. The Thame* between Putney und Mortlnke has the shape of a great horse shoe magnet, with the leg* turned outward, thus mak ing n courwo with three turns. The north ern side of the course, or the outride of the horse shoe. Is on the Middlesex side. It Is evident to any one who will look nt the map, that the crew having the Middle sex berth will fmve the same advantage a* the horse which ha* the position on the rail. Should the crew holding the outside of Surrey berth succeed In holding their bent on even terms with the fin ite*. they will have ii great advantage when they turn the cane iuto the main body of the horse shoe. The tlnnl curve of the course has been estimated to he worth three-quarters of a length to the crew having the Middlesex berth. It Is plain to l*e seen, therefore, thnf should the crew In the Surrey posi tion secure n lend of a length ou. the great me nnd still maintain its strength, Its tin nee* of winning are of the best. It Is stnfod that the Cambridge crew plan* to Htrtrt Immediately mid gain what- rer advantage I* possible on the outside, rith the hope of placing Harvard In the stern position and tiring her out. If the Harvard men are fooled by such tactics It 111 l>«* Ibelr own Unit, for they know Just how long It will t*kt to cover the course, and It Is supposed that they will row at Ibelr average speed throughout, paying little heed to the tactics of the Britishers. The course Is 4% mile* long, a half mile longer thmi the Ynlc-TInrvnrd course at New I-emloii, hut this fact will not cn the Harvard crew any worry, for the race Is to Irc roweil on the flood tide, which will more than compensate for the extra distance. PERSONNEL OF CREWS. Here 1* the personnel of tho two teams ns they will race: By J. 8. A. MACDONALD. New York, Sept. 8.—Gariy In the year the experts conceded the 2-year-old champion ship to Water Pearl. Then before the run ning of the Brighton he sprung u squeamish tendon nnd went out of trniulng. Within the very next week three comparatively un heard of stars calmly moved within the sphere of the championship ken—Salvidere, Electioneer and Fountninhlenu. Since then their performances have been so high class ns to make Water Tcarl and Oran no bet ter than equals. With the Flatbush Stakes over, the 2-yenr-old championship laurels must be Anally awarded to ope or other of the nlROve trio. There are hnt two others worthy of consideration. A Ally, James It.
