by the Atlanta weather bureau at the
request of Director R. J. Redding of the

as much rain fell In Georgia during the
months of June and July as last year,
making the crop season of this year re
markable in the annals of the state.
Fifty-two towns are selected, repre
senting the entire state, and the total
rainfall at each place for the months of
June and July of the two years furnish
the comparison. , - ,
The grand total of rainfall regis
tered at the 62 stations during the two
months of 1905 was 402.16 inches; the
™"n,l total for this year was 723.69.
The Increase In total rainfall was 321.54
inches. 80 per cent, or an average in
crease of 4 Inches throughout the state.
The effect of the superabundance of
rain marked on the growing cotton.
It nut a great deal of stalk and foliage

Poolroom Men and Reformers
Wage Hot Fight at Saratoga
By J. 8. A. MACDONALD.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 18.—One of the
Interesting sidelights to the whirl of
pleasure here Just now Is the fight tho
pool rooms of New York are making
to obtain Information of the racing.
The Jockey Club In Its compact with
the anti-racing reformers agreed to kill
the pool-room evil In New York by
cutting off the' Information, such us
the results of the races, the odds, the
Jockeys, etc., which must be trans
mitted by telephone or telegraph. The
reformers In lieu of this promised not
To wage a fight for legislative enact
ment against betting on the race tracks
in the state of New York: *
The first thing the Jockey Club did
was to refuse the sending of race re
sults over the wires running from the

room agents were debarred from en-
Thcn the rooms In New York estab

New York, Auk. 18.—Onmencss and

amount of ice in the comtnB champion

son. . .
The very mention of gamencss brings
the name of Nelson to the front. It
was this quality that put the Battler
where he Is, and, according to many
it will keep him there.
Nelson Is certainly a Ramer man
than flans There Is a record showing
bat Joe Wd in his battle with
that Joe stopped in T"“~ '' '
Frank Erne, claiming that fils eye was
knocked out of Its socket from a butt.
Erne won because the dark gent re
fused to battle further.

Then the rbom agent erected a high
Near the
pole Just outside the track. -
top a platform was built and on this
platform was placed a powerful tele
scope. By aid of this Instrument the
running of the horses and the result
of the finish could be learned. Also
on the platform was a battery of
telephones which made possible tho
rapid transmission of the news to tne
rooms. The Pinkertons looked on In
a mystified way when they first dis
covered this ruse. They were for cut
ting it down, but encountered a wrath
ful owner of the property upon which
the polo was hoisted, who defiantly in
formed all visitors that an attempt to
cut or saw the pole would bring hi*
shotgun Into play. He had leased the
land to the pool rooms. Then the
Jockey Club gave him three times the
value of the little lot and down came
the pole.
Not to lie outdone, the pool room
people are now employing a small cap
tive balloon which soars Just above
where the pole stood some days ago.
Home one fired u bullet Into the big

wire and silk. At this date the battle

In their fight". The Dane got up and
knocked the Denverite out cold on both
occasions.
Terry McGovern, whose terrific
slam has downed more comers than
any other in the world, did not even
rattle the gent from Hegeswlch when
they fought. Terry landed at least live
or six times flush on the Jnw with Ills
right, hut he might Just as well have
thrown It up In the ulr. It had the
same effect and the question now Is,
will (Ians have necessary soak to put
the Dane out for keeps. •
Gans Is the clevcrifct, coolest and
most accurate man In the world, but
will his slam stop that rushing gent
from Hegeswlch?
Gans will not be the aggressor In
this battle. He will not do tho forcing
over n minute, and If his punch Is
lacking, his heart will soon depart.
