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.

'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.

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.

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.

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.

Rnrk fan*. the tbrwt "hall." the IHitter was ivnrsott was declared With 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* o*|tIon. The very next afternoon he 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 to come back to a winning vein at any time. He will ride Dope Joan In the corn lug futurity.

(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.
