CRACKERS TURN
RUSSELL BACK
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., June 21.
Manager Hemphill announced today
that he had turned •‘Lefty" Russell
back to Philadelphia, after his rank
performance of yesterday, and had re
called Erskine Mayer from Portsmouth.
Russell’s work yesterday was the
height of indifference and thoroughly
disgusted the Cracker leader. Hemp
hills announcement created great sur
prise here.
In this afternoon’s fray Dessau will
oppose Farmer Allen. The ex-Eastern
leaguer- has been suffering from sore
arm, but is thought to be sufficiently
recovered to pitch the Crackers to vic
tory.
Joe Agler will join the Crackers in
Memphis, according to Manager Hemp
hill.
HARVARD CREW FAVORED
TO DEFEAT YALE TODAY
NEW LONDON. CONN., June 21.
M eather conditions that could not have
been better prevailed today when the
varsity crews of Harvard and Yale
made ready to line up in their great
annual duel on the Thames river this
afternoon.
From horizon to horizon the sky was
a blazing dome of steel blue and the
wind that has kept the surface of the
river ruffled and uncertain for the
closing practice of the past few days
died down to a gentle breeze over
night, witlt heartening indications that
the sun would set without a marked
change in the ideal racing conditions.
The crowds that piled into the old
New England town, by water, wagon
road and rail, were enormous.
There is little betting, and the rea
son is not far to seek. All but the
most blindly loyal and enthusiastic of
Ethe Yale contingent conceded that the
blue had little more than an outside
Chance to win, and consequently, while
the Harvard men and a few shrewd
faced gentlemen who never attended
any school but that of experience were
offering odds of from 10 to 7 to 2 to 1
on Harvard, there was little Yale
money in sight.
Several bets of SIOO to S6O were re
corded in one or two of the big cases,
but the takers of the Yale end were old
alumni, who freely admitted that they
were backing their hopes and not their
judgment. The favorite bet seemed to
be even money that Harvard would win
all three races, and late last night and
early this morning tiiere was quite a
little Yale money in sight for this form
t of wager.
CARMAN QUITS KENTUCKY
TO RACE STRING ABROAD
LATONIA, KY„ June 21.—The Ken
tucky turf is about to lose another of its
millionaire supporters. R. F, Carman,
who has raced a pretentious stable on
this circuit for a number of years, is the
most recent to announce his decision to
go abroad. Mr. Carman intends to leave
for England immediately following the
close of the Latonia meeting and will
later on go to France for the purpose of
establishing quarters for all his horses.
Carman’s decision to quit the Kentcky
turf was brought about by the action of
Judge Price in suspending Jockey Peak
from all but contract engagements for
the balance of the meeting
Carman feels that the official’s ruling
developed more from personal animosity
than because his rider’s offense was suf
ficient to warrant such severe punishment
and he will hereafter not participate in
racing hereabouts.
It is not the first time MT. Carman, who
is a sportsman of the highest caliber, has
had trouble with racing officials. He is
one of the few men connected with the
game who have courage enough to ex
press his views and should he make good
his threats to expose the inner secrets of
lacing in Kentucky it is more than likely
that he will furnish reformers with the
opportunity to attack the turf In this state
and bring about adverse legislation.

PITCHING MARK, SET BY
McCORMACK, 24 STRAIGHT
Rube Marquard's string of successive
victories has led some of the able critics
to overhaul the records in that particular
line of baseball. One gives the palm to
Luby, who, while pitching for the Chicago
Nationals in 1890, officiated in tw’enty
successive winning games. Another
awards is to Charley Radbourn of the
Providence champions of 1884, who scored
eighteen straight victories.
The record, though, is held by Jim Mc-
Cormick, who. in 1886, while pitching for
the Chicago Nationals under Anson, hung
up the record of 24 straight games, with
out even a tie game being mixed up in his
victories.
McCormick was a man of unusual phy
sique and intelligence, and was one of
the few ball players who retired from
the game in the very zenith of their
prowess. He was a ’•esident of Paterson,
N. J., whence came also the never-to-be
forgotten Mike Kelly, and, after quitting
baseball ran a stable of horses.
It must be remembered that in the days
of McCormick and Radbourn the pitcher’s
box was only 45 feet distant from the
plate, and the pitchers were not so cir
cumscribed in their movements by the
rules as they are now—they could take a
hop, skip and a jump before pitching the
ball if the}' wanted to.
But to offset that there was no such a
thing as taking a pitcher out if he once
started, he had to finish, unless the cap
tain of the opposing team was convinced
he was physically disabled.

The
Answer
Books
Are
Going
Fast
The clerks in the Contest Department
of The Georgian put in a busy day yester
day. Personal and mail application for
copies of the Answer Book came in a per
fect stream, starting in the morning and
continuing throughout the day.
In spite of the rush, we were able to
wait on all who came and to fill all mail
orders. And we will make every effort
to continue this sort of service, and to put
all contestants in possession of all of the
contest requisites with the least possible
delay from now until the close of the con
test.
We have received a number of inqui
ries regarding the purpose of providing
three answer spaces for each picture in
the Answer Book. Some contestants are
wondering whether it will be necessary
to use all of these answer spaces. The
three spaces were provided for the con
venience of those who desire to submit
more than one set of answers, but it is not
at all necessary to use more than one
space. The number of spaces used is a
matter of choice with the contestant, pro
vided the same number of spaces is used
for each picture.
For example: If you wish to submit
two answers for picture No. 15, but you
are satisfied that your solutions for all
of the other pictures are correct, fill in
space No. 2 under picture No. 15 with
the second solution, after having filled
in space No. 1 under each of the other
pictures with the solutions you are satis
fied with. Then fill in space No. 2 under
all of the pictures except No. 15 with du
plicates of the answers you have already
written in space No. 1. Thic condition
can not be more clearly stated, we think,
than to repeat that we have printed so
many times these announcements: You
can not submit more than one solution
for ANY ONE PICTURE without sub
mitting the same number of solutions for
ALL OF THE OTHER PICTURES. And
each set of solutions will be judged sepa
rately when the awards are made. This
is true whether you use the Answer Book
published by us or one of your own mak
ing.
Inquiries continue to come to us about
the need for using the Answer Book pub
lished by us and the comparative standing
in the contest of those who make their
own Answer Books. This question lias
been answered a number of times, but
we repeat here for the benefit of those
who have not been advised, that the use
of our Answer Book is not required. It
is intended to provide a neat, orderly
means for sending solutions in. But con
testants who make their own Answer
Books in a neat, orderly manner will have
the same standing in the contest that they
would obtain by using ours. Our book was
published to meet the demands of those
who were not confident of their own abil
ity to conform to the requirements of neat
ness and the coupon method of sending in
the answers. A new and unexpected use
for it developed today, however, when
numbers of contestants bought extra
copies for use as souvenirs of the contest.
The striking beauty of the cover design,
ami the reproduction of the first fifty
pictures of the contest commended it to
the good taste of those who desire to keep
a memento of this fascinating contest.
