1‘2 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY, AUGUST 27. 1906. Trmjfn VICTORIOUS FIRECRACKERS MOVE SPORTS ON TO KEELHAUL THE PIRATES BILLY WOULD PLAY HAMS IN POST-SEASON SERIES By PERCY WHITING. Shreveport Aug. 27.—If the Atlanta team land* In a«*eond place In the league race 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 tional league* lender*. It la hla plan that 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 tempting, but Money Isn't the whole thing In baseball.

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.

Little Pebbles Picked Up in the Capital of Arkansas By PERCY WHITING. 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. Meaney, who Is about the beat hitter of the team right now, especially pinches. Is out of the game off nnd on. lb* was hit In the eye the other day by a foul tip nnd has not been able to work regti Inrly since then, though he goes In when ever he Is abb*.

Bird, the inau Zimmer took—for tome renAon which In hard for the average tni) to underntnnd-lii trade for Watt, hns done no good at all for Little Rock and Is far from popular with local fans.

K'-mmerllng. the uew first baseman, seems to Imj a player who will eventually do pretty well. He Is young nnd does not un derstnnd the game very well, but his field Ing Is said to In* first-class.

The Little ltock pitchers nre doing as well a» could t>e expected, considering the sup port they get Taken altogether, though. th«* Travelers s-.-ni to have last place cinched to a finish 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 to Zimmer, who was catching, nnd the IJt- tle ltock mauager stepped In front of the piste, caught the hall and tagged Pearson ^ uk lie daahed for the home plate. r# the utter fiahbergaatment of the IJttle ]{ - k fan*. the throw waa railed the fourth 1 the Iwitter wns given flrat base hu<‘ t was declared to be for. ed borne .. run. 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.

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 corns back to n winning vein nt any time. He will ride Pops Joan In the com* Ing futurity.

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.
