Shreveport Aug. 27.—If the Atlanta team

Mnnnger Billy Hmlth Is very desirous of ar-
muffing a poat-senson scries with Birming
ham. the games to lx* played pretty much
on the name plan ns the world’s champion-
ahfp wrier ta'tween the American nnd Na

three gnmea Ih» played In each city, with a
deciding gnme If necessary lu aome other
town.
Billy thlnka he ran take four out of ala
from the Barons.
The aeries will he nu innovation In the
Southern l<enguo If It la arranged. But It la
hardly probable that Vaughnn will yield to
Smith's wishes in the matter.
With the pennant won. Vauffbnn will have
no glory to gain by' the aerlea nnd will
stand the chance of losing n good deal.
The flnucln! end of It will doubtless prove

‘ ’Tie and, but true, that the Kuta hoya
were defeated by the Silvey team In both
games played Saturday at Piedmont park.
This gives the Silvey team The Georgian
pennant that the Kuta boys were eo sure
they bad cinched.
The feature of the game waa the ex
cellent- pitching of Kelly, striking out
eighteen men In the first nnd five In the
second game. .Only six hits were given
sad. only three walked. Twice during the
game the I si sea were full nnd no outs, hut
by settling down. Kelly was able to keep
the opponents from crossing the home plate.
The entire .team played excellent hall and
won the applause of the grand-staud mauy
times.
Kelly has probably the greatest record
of any young nmateur pitcher In the
city. Ho has pitched eighteen games with
out losing a single one, and has only al
lowed five men to walk.

8pacial Correspondence.
Little Itocjc, Ark.. Aug. M-That Little
Rock will Is* In the the Southern League
"^oext year nnd that Mike Finn will manage
the team seem to be regarded aa certainties
’ here.
.According to local aportlng writers. Lit
tle Rock Is In no way discouraged by the
wrrtchcd showing of thla year’s team. They
•ay money enough has been spent to get a
flrst-olass tenni. and that only a combina
tion of hard luck and managerial difficul
ties have kept the Travelers dowu where
they now nre.
Aaron Frank, for aeveral yeara prominent
In hts connection with the Little ltock club
and the Southern longue, said yesterday
morning; ”1 will guarantee that I can go
out and raise 110,000 In two weeks to keep
A team here.”
The deni which will bring Mike Finn here
as a maunger has not been officially cloned,
tmt so certain Is Mike that lie will come
back to hla old lore that he has secured
A bouse for neat summer and ho will start
right out for players.
During the flrat yeara of the Southern
League Mike had wonderful success with
the Little Hock team and be believes he
can duplicate the feat.
Just at present the Little Rock sggregn
tlon la rather badly disorganised. The
f players have lost heart and the public Is
.'utterly discouraged.

the team right now, especially

The attendance at Little Bock Is tin
joke of the league. Three hundred souls,
Including attendants, dead heads, bleachers
and grandstand. 1s regarded as pretty flue
badness, and the other day when the game
was railed on account of "wet grounds"—
though an ordinary Arkansas dew Is said to
have more effect on Dtofsteulng the soil
than the sprinkle which occasioned the call
ing of the game—not over aeventy five per
sons were III the stands.
"When Is a strike not a strikeV* Is the
question of the hour here. And It arose
thus:
In Wednesday's game Nashville filled the
liases. Frary of Nnshvtlle was at hat and
three balls nii<l two strikes had liecn called
sg Inst him. 1'enrsoii was on third, mid
while Pitcher Allen bad the ImiII In his
hand Pearson startl'd home. Allen threw

Weird as UiU decision seems, U la un
doubtedly correct. The pitcher was In Ms
box and the batter was In his proper place.
The ball, therefore, was a fairly delivered
ImiII. and, as It did liot fulfill the require
ments of passing over the plate between the
batter’s shoulders nnd hl> knees, It bad to
he declared a “ball."
But Little Hock can’t see It yet.
When the Atlanta plnyers perused the
pages of Thursday morning's Arkansas
Gusatte and saw the trick Shuster had
played on Montgomery In robbing Milita
ncy's men of n game they had fairly wou
from New Orlcnns there was a howl, and
what was said about the tubby uiups who
robbed Atlanta of a hard won game was
too sultry for publication.
When tho news of t’hlef Joyner’s nomina
tion reached the tall dub, which was alxmt
1 o'clock Thursday morning, when the train
pulled In from Memphis, there was much
rejoicing. The chief Is sincerely liked by
the ball players, kind his defeat would have
been a harder blow to them than losing
the pennant.

Atlanta Makes Even Break
Of Final Games in Arkansas
By PERCY WHITING.
Special rorresjiondence.
Little Rock, Ark.. Aug. 26.,-AtteBta spilt even on the double-header Saturday
afternoon, winning the first game by heavy hitting and losing the second by stoenv
work on the liases. • V7
Tom Hughes pitched the first game, nnd let the Travelers down with five hits
and one run, while the Crackers amassed eighteen hits, which yielded only etaht
runs.
Doc Childs pitched a brilliant game In the second set-to, but received poor sup
port lu' the hitting nnd take running line.
The feature of the first game was the heavy batting of the entire Atlanta
team, Jim Fox getting, four hits, Crosier nnd Evers three each, and Hughes
and Winters two each.
The pitching of both Childs and Allen and the excellent work of Orr behind
the I sit* were the salient points of the closing battle.

One of the Interesting side lights of the
meeting nt Hnrntogn Is the sight of Hnappar
Garrison acting ns Tod Hloan’s betting
commissioner. Time was when these men
were renowned the world over ns Jockeys.
When Garrison put up the famous "GnrrL
son finish” on Tammany th«* day he l»ent
Lamplighter over fifteen yenrs ago, his an
nual Income did not fall short of $200,000.
"Tod” Hinan made $160,000 by his work lu
the snddlc during the Inst season of hl«
career In England, lie erfrned the dis
pleasure of the foreign stewards and hns
Wen on the ground ever since. He Is still
n man of considerable money, while Gar
rison It not "there" quite so strong. Bloat)
Wts from the ground now, nnd the "Snap-
per" puts down the wagers. One of the
hobbles of the racing set on the fair weath
er mornings alnce the opening of the rac
ing hercalMHita Is to repair to the local
ImaelMtll pnrk, where a fantastic game of
baseball ensues. Garrison Is generally the
pitcher on one aide, with little Hloau act
ing as his catcher. It's a unique iMittery,
to Ik* sure, to all conversant with past
sporting chronicles. Talking of the Jockeya
recalls the fart of Miller Wing once again
the howling favorite of the hour. Ilia form
Is simply marvelous. Wat week he rode
four winners and n second out of five
mounts, one of them ebfng n 10 to I prop,
nsltlou. The very next afternoon he
brought home two 10 to 1 shot winners out
of three mounts. Undoubtedly, Miller will
finish out the year Waring the tanrels
and the reputation of Wing the grandest
lightweight rider we have seen since the
aforementioned •*Tod" Hloau worked on the
metropolitan circuit. From now on have
an eye for Hildebrand. He U riding nt
er weight than for some time, and
the finishes he Is putting up are making
spectator* lu the grand stand took up
In amusement. He Is trying herd to regain
place am! prestige formerly his.
Kadtke has gone to pieces, lint U liable

Ing futurity.

Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 27.-Wlth the Sara
toga cup a thing of the past, the world of
racing Is 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 dowu for decision on the
occasion of the Inauguration of the autuniu
term of racing at Hheepsliead Bay, L. 1.,
next Saturday, September 1. Its estimated
gross value Is $56,000—a regal fortune. The
owner of the colt or filly to first breast the
Judges will take down not far from $36,000.
Such Is horse racing In these booming days
of American prosperity. Some critics* toy
this Futurity Is the biggest thing In the
year’ll racing calendar, not so much' because
of Its enormous value, but because the best
sort of racing sentiment Is wrought up
when a Futurity Is run, nnd by far tho
best class attendance of the season grace*
the lawns and fills ths stands down at
flower-bedecked Sheepshead Bay as the field
of equine babies canters down to the post
In the mellow autumn sunshine. On next
Saturday probably 40,000 peroons will ac
claim the Futurity winner, while the turn
over'of money on the outcome of the con
test generally runs up close to a mllllou
dollars.
Before taking up the cbmplexjon of the
field of probable starters. It may be well to
understand Just how a horse race like the
Futurity la made to he worth so colossal a
sum of money. In the first place, It is run
out of the Futurity course, which la s little
over three-quarters of a mile lu length—a
few yards. This course Is a "chuto’’ which
rims Uke a stove-pipe with an "elbow” lu
It. The horses are started away up the rac
ing grounds almost out of eyesight, the
horses running on a straightaway right to
the lower end of the grandstand. There
the "elbow” Is encountered and here It Is
thut many a Futurity has been won and lost
In yenrs gone by, for the front runner*
come with such a momentum that they
o/tentlmea bolt away up to the outer rail
ing and before they can recover the lost
territory the oncomera sneak In on the rail
and get homo through the short stretch to
it flukey victory. It Is for 2-yenr-olds—colts,
fillies nnd geldings—as aforementioned. Hay,
away hack In 1903 a breeder down In Ken
tucky has In hla stad.a fine blooded sire and
it patrlcaii brood mare. He tuntes them aud
nt the same time enters the expected pro
geny In the Futurity of 1906.
Breeders Get Share.
No matter who wins the coming thor
oughbred when the Futurity of three years
later Is run, the breeder and nominator la
entitled to some of the price money In ease
the youngster wins the big race. This la
done to eueourage scientific breeding. Colts
carry 122 |>ounds nnd fillies 119 pounds. Of
course there are penalties. For Instance,
the winner of the Hsmtogn special would
In? penalised six pounds wbenjm came to
ruu In the Futurity. Horses which bad
The probable field of starters, jockeya nnd prices follow:
never won a race are allowed three pounds.
It costs about $40 to enter up n horse,
while there are several assessments at dif
ferent periods the owner has to pay.
fact, If the horse starts It means tin outlay
of over $400, but this Investment Is worth
the chance with $36,000 standing as the re
ward of success.
Probably 80 owners bontrlbute In entry
fees $35,000. The Coney Island Jockey Club
gives $10,000.
Thla year the Messrs. J. R. and F. P.
Keene, who own Castleton Farm In Kon
tueky, and have long been the foremost
figures on the metropolitan turf, seem to
have the best chance of taking down tho
1906 Futurity, for the firm has three first-
class eligible* In point for the straggle, any
one of which figures out an excellent chance
of winning. Grimaldi, a son of Commando,
Ballot, a son of Voter, the tatter tho fast
est sprinter ever knowu to the turf; Peter
Pan, another Commando, nnd a'corking
filly from the loins of Disguise, a horse
which represented the Keenes with success
In England fire yenrs ago, named Pope
Joan, are the Castleton color bearers. Gri
maldi comes In without penalties and has
worked very fast, while Peter Pan Is the
biggest nnd most rugged 2-year-old In train
Ing. The Kalneys, of Cleveland, Ohio, who
recently bet $40,000 to win $22,000 on Hensllp,
are unfortunate In not having Horace 8.
ready to race.
Horace 8. Is Out.
This promising colt split hla hoof ten days
ugo nnd Is now out of training. But the dls-
appointing Do Mund will represent them
n> a forlorn hope. August Belmont has bat
n moderate colt In Okenlte, but Woodford
Clay, of Keutucky, has a wonder In Ken
tucky Beau, a slashing son of Htar Bhoot.
The llltcbcock-Modden stable has It) Con-
vllle. Thla colt Is a lot better than bis last
race showed where he ran from a very
bad start, and a vory Important thing In
connection herewith !■ the fact that "Mar
velous Miller” will rldo Convllle. I waa In
formed of this by John E. Madden himself,
the Jockey to get $1,000, win* or lose. Oran,
front the Newcastle stable, and Water
Pearl, the great Watercress youngster, who
was hailed as the champion until a month
ago, when he went tame, will also have-
nmny friends. At this time It looks like
Keene to me. Just before ailing up‘the
probable field on paper. It may be well to
remember that the first Futurity was run
in 1888, when a Western colt, Proctor
Knott, taut Salvador, the hope of the New,
Yorkers. The great Futurity, nnd a race
the campaigners talk of today, came In
1193, when James R. Keene’s Domloo beat
Richard Croker’s Dobbins In a wonderful
struggle of leonine courage and thorough
bred fortitude. Last year Ormondnlc, n son
of Ormonde, n sire which cost W. B. Mc
Donough. of 8nn Francisco, n little over
$156,000 to bring fo this country, won for
the Newcastle stable, while the year before
that II. B. Duryea’s Artful won easily from
Tradition tind Mysonby.

JEEMS ARCHER
WITH THE TEAM
By PERCY WHITING.
Shreveport, Aug. 27.—JImy Archer Joined
the wandering Crackers at Little Rock Just
before the team left for Shreveport Satur
day night. His arm and shoulder are nbt
entirely well, but the premier backstop will
be available In case of accident or Incapaci
tation of nny other player.
Hid Hmlth has been doing great work be
hind the bat, and Hoffman hns been more
than holding his own nt third base, so that
It would be bad policy to break up a win
ning combination by putting Archer In now,
anyway. Sidney Is sure Inmmlog the ball
around some.

Old Kav. gave n pull
On our poor Mr. Mull,
And yanked him right up In the air,
But the fans and the pigs
Shook their heads and their wigs,
And pronounced It extremely unfair.
There Is one Mr. Ats
Who, with bluster nnd bats.
Attempted Hlr Shunter to malm;
And If poor old man Mull
Got this horrible pull,
Why Ats should have gotten the same.
—Montgomery Journal.
Mr. Mullnney made but one appearance
on the diamond—when he protruded hla 6
feet 4 Into the free-for-all wrangle atarted
by the Climbers to Induce Mr. Walnscott
to call the game. Dominick wore a cap
of a rich cardinal, which. It - afterwards

Jimmy Archer, Atlanta’s premier catcher,
i'ii route to Little Rock to join his team,
wntcheil the game between trains. Jimmy
was a warm -Montgomery rooter, as he sin
cerely believe* the Hmlth delegation will
get second money. He wagered a bat the
Georgians would run one-two. "I don’t
know whnt Hmlth wants with me," said
Archer, "as Hid Hmlth Is catching the finest
ball on the circuit Jnst now. Anyhow,
am anxious to do anything to assist o
gang to pluck some part of thA purse. It
looks like Birmingham In a gallop, as tbe
Barons are playing the gnme right up to tbe
handle, but while there la life there Is
soap, aud one ran’t »8ll In baseball when
the slide for life takes place.” Jimmy has
thoroughly recovered from the Injury
hls shoulder sustained In a eolllslou wltb
Walters. Incidentally, he wished to lie
cleared of the charge of lielng a native of

RAREFIED AIR
TO HURT PUGS
By TAD,
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 27.—There Is another
angle to this Nelson-Gnns fight which hns
escaped the eyes of tbe critics, nnd that Is
the high altitude of Goldfield, Nev. Per
sons who have never been In s town «*f
5,000 feet above the level of the sea cun
not really appreciate what a hard thing
to exercise there. In Arlionn, the
railroad goeft over a pass which Is 6,Oft) fc**t
above tbe sea elvel, and many of the pan
setigeni who have never been over the r»sul
before are taken with nose bleed. The
sir Is so light that It effects them In this
manner, nnd many of them d« no* recover
from it until they are on the other side
of the pass.
You have commented on the low weight
of Gnns nnd Nelsou. It did look strange
to rend that both men were down to 133
pounds, nnd had been In training hut hnrd-
ly two weeks. A Nevada man who hns
been In New York now nays that In hls
opinion Iioth Gans and Nelson will get
Into the ring nearer 131 jNMtnd* than 13*
He says It Is natural for newcomers to
lose weight st Goldfield, ns It Is 5.’"“*
feet almve the sea level and very trying
i those who are not arrllmnted. „ , .
lie says that he doe* not think the fight
win go over fifteen rounds, as the air
will affect them both, and that they wh)
Isith be very tired and weak at the end
of the tenth round.
