Manager Hilly Hrnlth Is very desirous of ar
ranging n tMat-aenaon series with Birming
ham. Hit* games to lie played pretty much
on the same plan ns the world's champion-

tlonnl league* lenders. It Is Ills plnn thnt

Billy thinks he nm take four out of six
from the Ilnroiis.
The series will he an innovation In the
Southern Longue If It Is nrrnnged. But It Is
hardly probable that Vniighnu will yield to
Smith's wishes In the matter.
With the pennant won. Vaughan will have
no glory to gnlu by the series a ml will
stand the chance of losing it good deni.
The tinnelnt end of It will doubtless prove

Little Pebbles Picked Up

By PERCY WHITING.
Special Correspondence.
Little Itock, Ark.. 'Aug. 26.-Tlmt Little
Hock will 1m* tu the the Southern l.cagm*
next year and thnt Mike Finn will manage
the team seem to Ik* regarded ns certainties
here.
According to local sporting writers. Lit
tle Rock Is in uo way discouraged by tlm
wretched showing of tbl* year’* tentu. They
»ny money enough lias been spent to get a
flrst-elrtM* team, and that only a combina
tion of hard luck anti managerial difficul
ties have kept tho Travelers down whero
they now are.
Aaron Frank, for nevontl years prominent
In hfs connection with the Little Rock club
nml the Southern league, said yesterday
morning; "1 will guarantee thnt I rail go,
out and raise $10,000 lu two weeks to keep
a team here.'*
The deal which will bring Mike Finn here
•a a malinger has not 1m*cii officially closed,
l»ut so certain Is Mike that he will conn*
hark to his old Jove that he has secured
n house for next summer aud he will start
right out for players.
During the flrst years of the Southern
League Mike had wonderful success with
the Little Rock team and he tieUcves lie
cau duplicate the feat.
Just at present the Little Rock aggrega
tion Is rather Imdly disorganised. The
players have lost beurt and tbo public ls
utterly discouraged.
Mcnttoy, who Is about the best hitter of
the team right now, especially lu the
pinches. Is out of the game off and on. He
was hit In the eye the other day by a foul
tip and has not lieen able to work regu
larly since then, though he goes In when
ever he Is able. Gilbert la playing nice
ImiII and to la Quick, the man who wns
signed as n pitcher, but who has done Ills
l*cst work lu the field nml on flrst base
of late. Bird, the man Zimmer tm»k~for
some reason which Is hard for the avernge
fan to understand—In trade for Watt, has
done uo good at nil for Uttlc Hock nml Is
far from imputar with local fans. Zimmer
U catching bis best, but he Is weak lu
throwing to second. DeAnnoml seems to Ik*
unable to rise superior to his surroundings,
and—good player though he I*—he Jpis not
|teen doing any star work this season.
K«nnu*rllng. the new flrst baseman, seem*

pretty well. lie la yotiug and doea not un
derstand the game very well. Imt his Add
ing |s said to l*o flrst-class. John sou Is
fielding well, but Is weak nt the Imt.
The Little Rock pitchers nre doing as well
■f could l*e expected, considering the sup
port they get.
Ttken altogether, though, the Travelers
teem to have last place cinched to a finish.
The attendance at Little Rock Is the
Joke of the league. Three hundred souls.
Including attendants, dead heads, bleachers
and grandstand. Is regarded ns pretty fine
basilica*, and the other day when the game
was called on nceount of "wet grounds"—
though so ordinary Arkansas dew la said to
have more »*ffecf on moistening the soli
than the sprinkle which occasioned the call
ing of the game—not orer seventy-live per
sons were In th** stands.
••When Is n strike not a strike?" Is the
«pie«Uon of the hour here. And It arose
thus:
In Wednesday's gam** Nashville filled the
hsse*. Krary of Nashville was at Imt and
three balls and two strikes had l**ci> called
against him. Pearson wns on third, and
while Pitcher Allen had the Imll In his
hand 1’ears.m started home. Allen threw
to Ziitis*er. who wns patching, nml the Lit
tle R*wk- manager stepped f ro|lt „f tla«*

railed the fourth

In- forced home
donbtedly correct. The pitcher wna In hla
l*ox and the Imtter wns lu hla proper place.
The hall, therefore, waa n fairly delivered
hall, and, ns It did not fulfill the require
ment* of passing orer the plate between the
batter's shoulder* and hi* knees, It bad to
he declared a "hall."
Rut Little Hock enu't see It yet.
When the Atlanta players perused the
pagcH of Thursday morning's Arkansas
Gnsettc and saw the trick Shuster had
played on Montgomery In rohblng Milita
ncy'* men of a game they had fairly won
from New Orleans there was n howl, and
what was said about the tubby tinip* who
robbed Atlanta of a hard won guine was
too sultry for publication.
When the news of Chief Joyner's nomina
tion reached the ball club, which was nlxmt
1 o’clock Thursday morning, when the train
pulled In from Memphis, there was much
rsjolelng. The chief Is sincerely liked by
the ball players, and his defeat would have
been a harder blow to them than losing
tin* |M*uuant.

Atlanta Makes Even Break
Of Final Games in Arkansas
By PERCY WHITING.
Special Correspondence.
Little lloek, Ark., Aug. 26.—Atlanta split even on the double-header Saturday
afternoon, winning the flrst game by heavy bitting and losing the second by sleepy
work on the bases.
Tom Hughes pitched the first game, and let the Travelers down with five hits
and one run, while the Crackers amassed eighteen hits, which yielded only eight
runs. i ,
Doc Childs pitched a brllltant game In the second set-to, but received poor sup
port in the hitting and base running line.
The feature of the flrst game wns the heavy hntting of the entire Atlanta
team, Jim Fox getting four hits, Crazier nnd_ Evers three each, and Hughes
and Winter* two each.
The pltehlng of both Childs and Allen nml the excellent work of Orr tiehtnii
the hat were the salient points of the closing battle.

One of the Interesting side lights of the
meeting nt Hnrntogn Is the sight of Hnapper
Garrison acting as Tod Hlontt’s betting
commissioner. Time was when them* men
were renowned the world over ns Jockey*.
When Garrison put up the famous "Garri
son finish" on Tantmany the day lie beat
Lamplighter over fifteen years ago, his an
nual Income did not fall short of $200,000.
"Toil" Sloan made $150,0)0 by Ills work lu
the saddle during the Inst season of his
career lu England, lie earned the dis
pleasure of the foreign stewards utn\ has
been on the ground ever since. He Is still
a man of considerable money, while Gar
rison Is not "there" quite so strong. Hlonn
t*ets from the ground now, aud the "Snap
per” puts down the wager*. One of tho
hobble* of the racing set on the fair weath
er mornings since the opening of the rac
ing herealsMit* la to repair <o the local
ImmoImII park, when* a fantastic game of
baseball ensues. Garrison Is generally the
pitcher on one side, with little Hloati act
ing a* hi* catcher. It's a unique battery,
to Ik* sure, to all conversant with |Mi*t
sporting chronicles. Talking of the Jockey*
recalls the fact of Miller being once again
the howling favorite of the hour. Ill* form
Is simply marvelous. l.a*t w**ek he rode
four winners and a second out of five
mounts, one of them eblng a 10 to \ prop*

brought home two 10 to 1 shot winner# out
of three niouuts. Undoubtedly, Miller will
finish out the year bearing the laurels
nn«l the reputation of Iwing the grandest
lightweight rider we have seen since the
aforementioned ••Tod" Hloatt worked on the
metropolitan circuit. From now on have
an eye for Hildebrand. He Is riding at
lower weight than for some time, and
tin* finishes lie Is putting up nre tanking
the spectator* In the grand stand look up
In amaxemeiit. He Is trying hard to regain
the place aud prestige formerly hi*.
Itadtke has gone to piece*, but 1* liable

(Copyright, 1906, by llcarst News Service.)
Saratoga, X. Y., Aug. 27.-With the Haro
toga cup a thing of the past, the world of
racing 1* Just now all ears and eyes for the
annual running of America's richest race for
2-year-old thoroughbreds—the Futurity. This
famous, fixture Is down for decision on tin*
occasion of the Inauguration of the autumn
term of racing fit Hheepshend Itay, L.
next Haturdny, September 1. Its estimated
gross value Is $66,000-n regnl fortune. The
owner of the colt or filly to flrst breast the
Judges will take dowu not fnr from $36,000.
Such Is horse rnclug In these ltoomlng days
of American prosperity. Home critics say
this Futurity Is the biggest thing In *the
year's racing calendar, not *o much l»ect
of Its enormous value, but Inrause the I
sort of racing sentiment ls wrought up
when n Futurity Is run, arid by fnr the
l*cst class' attendance of the season graces
the lawns nm! fills tbs stnnds down at
flower-bedecked Hheepshend Buy us the field
of cqulue bnhles canters down to the post
lu the mellow autumn sunshine. On next
Haturdny probably 40,000 persons will ac
claim tho Futurity wluner, prhlle tho turn
over of moner on the outcome of the con
test generally runs np close to a million
dollnrs.
Before taking up the complexion of the
field of probable starters. It may ho well to
underntaiid Just how a horse race like the
Futurity Is made to be worth so colossal a
sum of money. Ill the flrst ptare, It Is run
out of the Futurity course, which Is a little
over three-quarter* of a mile In length—a
few yards. This course I* a "chute" which
runs like a stove-pipe with nn "elbow" lu
It. The horses are started uwny up the rac
ing grounds almost out of eyesight, the
horses running on a Mtralghtawuy right to
the lower end of the grandstand. There
the "elbow" Is encountered and here It Is
that many n Futurity has been won and lost
In yenrs gone by, for the front runners
oome with such a momentum that they
oftentimes holt away up to the outer rail
ing am| before they can recover tbs lost
territory the oneomers sneak In on the rail
and get home through the short stretch to
a flukey victory. It Is for 2-year-olds—colts,
fillies nud geldings—ss aforementioned. Huy,
uwny back la 1902 s breeder down In Ken
tucky hns In his stud a fine blooded sire and
a pntrlcau brood mare. He mates them und
at the same time enters the expected pro
geny In the Futurity of 1906.
Brssdsrs Get 8hsrs.
No mutter who wins the coming thor
oughbred when the Futurity of three yenrs
Inter Is run, the breeder mid nominator Is
entitled to some of the prise money In case
the youngster wins the Idg race. This Is
•lone to encourage scientific breeding. Colts
•nrry 122 pounds and fillies 119 pounds. Of
course there are penalties. For Inatnnee,
the winner of the Hsrntoga special would
Ik* penalised six pound* when he came to
In the Futurity. Horse* which hnd
never won n race nre allowed three pounds.
It costs about $40 to enter up a horse,
while there nre several assessments at dif
ferent periods the owner hns to pay. In
fact. If the horse starts It means an outlay
of orer $400, but this Investment Is worth
the chance with $35,000 standing as the re
ward of -success.
1'rohuhly 80 owners contribute In entry
fees $36,000. The Coney Island Jockey Club
give* $10,000.
This year the Messrs. J. It. nnd F. P.
Keene, who own Cnstloton Farm In Ken
tucky, and have long boon the foremost
figures on the metropolitan turf, seem to
have the best chance of tnking down tho
1906 Futurity, for the jfrjn has three first-
class ellglbles In point for the struggle, any
one of whlcfi figures out an excellent chance
of winning, llrlnmIdi, a non of Commando,
Billiot, a son of Voter, the tatter the fast
est sprinter ever known to the turf; Peter
Pan, another Cominnadn, and a corking
filly from the loin* of Disguise, n horse
which represented the Keenes with success
In England five yenrs ago, named Pope
Joan, nre the Cnntleton color bearers. Gri
maldi comes In without penalties nnd hns
worked very fast, while Peter Pan Is the
biggest nml most rugged 2-year-old In train
Ing. The Ilnluey*, of Cleveland, Ohio, who
recently bet $40,000 to win $22,000 on Hcnsllp,
are unfortunate In not having Horn re H.
ready to race.
Horses 8. Is Out.
This promising colt split his hoof ten dnys
ago nnd Is now out of training. But the d!s-
npimliitlng De Mund will represent them
ns n forlorn hope. August Belmont has but
a moderate colt In Okenite, but Woodford
Clay, of Kentucky, hns n wonder In Ken
tacky Beau, n stashing son - of Htnr Shoot.
The fflteheoek-Maddea stable has In Con-
vlile. This colt Is a lot better than bis last
race showed where he ran from a very
bad start, nnd a very Important thing In
connection herewith Is the fact that "Mar-
clous Miller" will ride Convllle. 1 wns In
formed of this by John E. Madden himself,
the Jockey to get $1,000, win or lose. Orsu,
from the Newcastle stable, nnd Water
Pearl, the great Watercress youngster, who
was hailed ns the champion until a month
ago, when ho went lame, will also have
many friends. At this time It looks like
Keene to me. Just liefore rising up the
probable field ou paper, It mny he well to
remember thnt the first Futurity waa run
In 1888, wbpn a Western colt, Proctor
Knott, heat Hnlvndor, the hope of the New
Yorkers,, The great Futurity, and a race
campaigners talk of today, came lu
1893, when Jnmes it. Keene's Domloo bent
Ulchard Croker’s Dobbins In a wonderful
struggle of leonine courage nud thorough
bred fortitude. Last year Ormondnlc, a son
of Ormonde, a sire which cost W. 11. Mc
Donough, of Han Francisco, a little over
$155,000 to bring to thl* country, won for
the Newcastle stable, while the year before
thnt II. B. Duryon'* Artful won easily from
Tradition nnd Sysonby.

Shreveport, Aug. 27.—Jimy Archer Joined
the wandering Crackers at Little Hoek Just
before the team left for Shreveport Satur
day night. His arm nnd shoulder arc not
entirely well, but the premier backstop will
be available in cast* of accident or Incapaci
tation of any other plnyeh
Htd Smith hns !>een doing great work be
hind the hat, nnd I^offmnn has been more
than holding his own nt third base, so that
It would be hnd policy to break up a win
ning combination by putting Archer In now,
anyway. Sidney is sure lamming the ball
nronnd some.
Old Kav. gave a pull
On our poor Mr. Mull,
And yanked him right up In the sir.
But the fans nnd the pigs
Shook their heads and their wigs.
And pronounced It extremely unfair.
There Is one Mr. At*
Who, with bluster and bat#.
Attempted Sir Shutter to malm;
And If poor old man Mull
Got this horrlldc pull,
Why Ats should have gotten the same.

Mr. Militancy made hut one appearance
on the diamond—when he protruded bl* 6
feet 4 Into the free-for-all wrangle started
by the Cllmlmrs to Induce Mr. WafnsCott
