The Federation of Trades, after deciding to go to Piedmont park, later changed to Ponce DeLeon. As there Is not a place suitable at Ponce DeLeon to run racca nnd the Piedmont track had been let to other parties, Gus Castle decided to hold them nt some Inter date, perhaps on Thanksgiving Day.

GRIFFITH GETS GOOD PITCHER It looks ns If Clark Griffith has landed one of the "finds" of the season In Joe Doyle, the young twirler lie bought from the Wheeling club for $2,500. Doyle dunned n uniform Saturday morn ing and tossed up some of his fast and slow curves to Griffith. After Doyle had dealt out his .assortment of benders Griffith sold: "Thnt will do, Imyle. Be at the grouuds at l o’clock nnd get on n uniform." Doyle wanned up well, nnd when he bell rang he walked out on the diamond, cheered on by some 12,600 fans. For the flrst two Innings be wns rather nervous, and Klelnow nud Klbcrfeld had to keep talking to him to steady him. After thnt he settled down, accomplishing the remarkable fegt of strik Ing out Larry l*n|olc. Doyle has everything thnt a pitcher needs to be n successful twirler. He has plenty of speed, good control, nnd a great drop Imll ami a high Inshoot, which batters usually go after. He mixes his curves up ery well. For a pitcher he swings well t a ball. On his showfug of Katurday be ought to develop Into a great pitcher. Only six games separate Griffith's crowd from flrst place, nnd there la still a chance of overtaking Comlskey’s White Sox.—New York Sun. By PERCY WHITING.. Special Correspondence. Little Bock, Aug. 28.—"On to New Or leans!" That Is the cry In the local camp right now. The boys are going down, to the Crescent City with u determination to win If It takes the very life thnt Is In them. Not a man on the team hut has a score to settle with Charley Frank nnd his cohorts, nnd they nre going to settle them If It Is within the limits of possibility. “I’d be willing to lose every other gnme this season If we could bent Charley Frank out of all those games In New Orleans."' was Otto Jordan's sentiment. And '"Cap’ll" can lw» depended on to work to the limit to square his acocunt with "That Dutchman." Every time Otto sees a patrol wagon these days he grits his teeth and curse's New Or leans. The IVIIenns In their own nest have not been such terrible bird* this season, nnd the players nre of the opinion thnt. If all goes well, the Crackers will take the scries In New Orleans. They are going down after It, nt nny rate. The team will have a day to rest up be fore their flrst battle with "the birds." nnd they will take advantage of It to get In the l»est possible condition. Big yrowds nre expected In New Orleans for the Atlanta series, and Secretary Eth ridge Is counting on tilling the club’s de pleted pocketbook at thnt point. Financing a team thnt hits Little Rock aud Hhreveport In succession is a strenuous game, hut Sunday In New Orleans ought to help. The mest encouraging feature of the At lanta team's dash fur second place Ih the fine work of the pitchers. Every one of them seems to be at or very near his best, and If they can come down through rho stretch without a skip or a break things will look pretty good when the bunch gets back In Atlanta for that Labor Day double- header.

The I’hllsdelphla nnd Boston club* of the Americnn League have signed a large bunch of youngsters for uext season.

By Private I.en*ed Wire. Goldfield, N«r„ Aug. 29.—The dlroctfra of the athletic club had a very stormy meeting last night, the terms lnq>osed upon Gans In the matter of welghlng-lii of Gans lielng the cause of the turmoil. Billy Nolan wns there by Invitation, nnd Gans was brought from his training quar ters In an automobile. Nolnu said thnt he would Insist thnt Gans weigh In In ring costume, according to championship rule*. The club memliers re minded Nolan that when the articles of agreement were being drawn up, It was decided thnt screens should lie placed In the ring, behind which the fighters might weigh, and It was clearly understood then thnt the men were to weigh In a nude state If they desired. Nolan said he had not understood It that way, but the club directors, to a man, said thnt such wns their understanding In the matter. Nolan remained obdurate, and nt one stage of the conference, Giyis sold: "If I wns n white man I'd lick you." Nolan replied: "Don't ever think of trying anything like that." Tho meeting lasted nearly four hours, hut no Impression was made upon Nolun, who said: "We will forfeit $5,000 nnd withdraw from the tight before we will give In." Filially Gans agreed to adopt a very light ring costume, to-wlt: A pair of fighting •hoes and nn abbreviated breech clout. Nolan said: “Thnt Is satisfactory to me," though Just whnt difference the style of Gans* costume mnde to Nolan; no long as Gnu* fought In It la not very dear. The gist of the whole business Is that Nolan car ried his point. Gnns must weigh In at tbs ringside In fighting army. George Hller had a talk with Gans snd Nnlajt relative to certain clauses In the articles. Clause 4 any*: "Orders by referee to break must lie by word of mouth." Clause 6 rends: "After n fighter ha* knocked down bis opponent be must retire to his rorner." Hller held thnt there were times when a vertstl order to brenk was Insufficient. He said thnt oue itiun might l»e dazed, nnd clinging to the other dc*|»erstely. lu such cases, It wns for the referee to part the men. He held further that there wns no necessity for a man to walk all thu way to his corner after knocking down his opponent. To step back a couple of pare* would be sufficient. Both Nelson nnd Gnns told Hller thnt they would abide by his ruling In the matters referred to, hut It Is prolmhle thnt a more thorough understanding will Im: had before the fight day comes around. HARVARD CREW IS GOING SOME By Private Leased Wire. Putney, England, Aug. 29.—The Harvard crew gave the Englishmen another rude ■hock by rowing over the course from Put ney to Mort lake lu nineteen minutes nnd forty-five seconds. The time Is consider ed very fast, slthougb the conditions were not very favorable, with the tide running strongly and the wind favoring the crew most of the way. The course Is so crooked, however, that the wind hindered the crew pnrt of the Atlantic League, recently completed a se ries of three great games.
