One of the strongest races of the year will result, for the list of probable start- Is not only large, but several of the candidates ore the top-sawyers of the year. There will be several added starters, while many of the horses sent out last night in the entries os sure starters will decliue the fssu$ at the eleventh hour. If the track Is fast, almost everybody expects Mohawk II to come to the post and win. He Is the colt of !t*cktou-La Tosca, who won the Saratoga, special last year for the Messrs. Snndford, of New Amsterdam, N. Y. He Is under 108 pounds. He worked a mile In 1:4014 late last week, which Indi cates sufficient speed to win from the field, now entrt’wl.

Hoffman was ordered to join the team the day Smith left for Mont gomery. He was told to report in Atlanta, and it is supposed that he will Join the team In Birmingham. Hoffman has been putting up aensatlonal Work with the Savannah team, and he will make a valuable addition to the Crackers' staff. Presumably Fox will be placed under "friendly suspension," in order to allow the sign ing of Hoffman. The news of the Injury to Fox, which came to the faithful in the base- ball extras Friday, was a hard blow. It seems that Perry slid into the tint baseman's arm and cut it badly. At first it was reported that Fox wm out of the game for the season, but the cheering news how comes that thi wound may be healed Inside of two weeks. The Crackers have two games in Montgomery Saturday afternoon, and then go on to Birmingham, where they have five games, which must bt played In three days. FOX WELL IN TWO WEEKS. In response to The. Atlanta Georgian's telegram asking: "How long will Fox.be out of the game? Who will take his place? Is there tny-. thing new about your suspension?” Manager Smith sent the following telegram: * . "Fox In bad condition. Sent home today. The doctor agld that ht will be able t<\ play In two weeka. Archer will take hla place.- "No news about suspension. .
