Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 31,—Duron Glenn Llebhart, the premier twirier of the Southern League, has been formally transferred to the Cleveland Americana nnd will leave to Join the ^Naps Immediately after the benefit game here September 16. Terms for the sale of the star pitcher were agreed upon several weeks ago, but the check from Cleveland was not received until Thursday. Kid Nlckolls has also been sold to the Phllndelphfn Americans, but no check has been received here ns yet. Tom McCullough, secretary of the team, says this will not Interfere with the closing of the.deal, as terms have been agreed upon nnd efforts are being made by the Philadelphia Americans to buy George Kuggs, but no deal has been closed nnd probably will not be, as drafting season opens tomorrow. Bow Dill Gannon, wanted by Atlan ta nnd the property of the Memphis team, has been suspended by order of Secretary* Farrell, of the National Baseball Commission. Gannon Jumped the Memphis club this season and played with the Al toona club. Three weeks ago he Jump ed the Outlaws and went back Into the organized fold, playing with tho Albany team of the York State League. As soon ns the Memphis owners learn ed that he was playing In another or ganized league, they took steps to have Gannon placed on the blacklist. The Atlanta team wished to purchase Gan non, but Billy Smith refused to give the $500 asked for him. The large crow*ds this season have made a new grand-stand for 1907 Im perative and arrangements have been made to replace the pres ent dilapidated stack of wood by a modern steel constructed double decker. The bleachers will be torn away nnd one wing of the grnnd-stand will take the place of the sun god stand. Tho new blonchcrs will be In right back of right field and first base, where the 25-cent patrons will get full benefit of the sun. Laird, a big right-handed twlrler, has been purchased by Memphis from tho Baton Rouge tenm of tho Cotton States. He will not Join the Babblers until next seuson.

New York, Aug. 31.—Jim Corbett Is of the strongest Gnus men ever met along Broadway, but Jim Is a bit afraid that 133 pounds ringside is the Buffalo sign for Gans. I trained out there In Nevada,” said Jim, talking of the tight, “and fought Ptz, nnd I'll tell you Its the toughest climate a fighter In the world. It Is not so laid working nnd fooling around, but In the tight It takes the wind -right out of you. You have to take two breaths out there where one would be enough herd. If Giiiih can sente 133 pounds that dny and be himself there's nothing to this light at all. But, enn he? think Joe Is the best mart we ever In the lightweight elass. Me never had an equal, mid Is so much better than this other fellow that you can't dope them.” Further up the line, Sam Harris said, 'Who will be whipped?” with a laugh. "Why there's only one man in It that I can see. He’s Joe Gnus. What business has Nelsot to tight this fellow. He never bent a live one. Thu fellows he fought were all In before he got them, nnd It was a cinch." Across the street was Fat Jack Olenin, manager o* Ham Berger nnd champion hand spanker of the world. "No," said Jack, when questioned as to his opinion. "Gnus won't come under the first In this tight. Nelson Is too tough for nit these fellows nowadays, and will wear the champion down round by round until the end comes." George Evans: "Nelson Is my honey boy. You can’t stop these youngsters. Gans was *ood In his dsy, but he has seen the liest of them up to this. Nelson has been learning and getting lietter all the time." Ted Mnrks: "Gnus can't get any better than Nelson can. Gans has fought his best battles. Nelson will tight his Inter on. Nelson Is tough for Joe, nnd will win." Billy Shields: "We will elect Gans to the '23' club nftes next Monday. It will be like a gray hound trying to Imck up a steam roller. Nelson Is the steam roller; will go on over anything of his weight.” Bill Gould: "You enn only stop Nelson with a gun. Gans Is a good old gnn, but his powder Is wet lie Is out of date PLAYER SOLD FOR 25 CENTS The lowest price ever paid for the re use of a baseball pitcher Is believed to be the consideration paid by C.

New York, Aug. 31.—The great Futurity worth nlmut $50,000, will be run over the six-furlong atrnight course at Hbeepshead Hay tomorrow. The predictions are for fa vorable weather, nnd the Coney Island Jockey Club anticipates an attendance of at least 60.000 persons. The Futurity Is the largest stake offered In this country for horses. It Is not nn old event, but Is the precursor of a number of similar large stakes, like the Matron, tho Brighton Produce end the like. None has attained the celebrity of the Futurity, how ever. which has come to most race follow ers outside the regular track contingent to lie the one rsee of the year, to rank at least with the Kuhurhnu and Brooklyn Handicap ns an event to Ih> watched nt all costs. The stake was started In 1868. and the very first Is deemed Ip some respects the best of the series, Proctor Kuott defeating the mighty Knlvator In n great race nnd win ning a fortune for his owner, who was n( ; couiitr*«l n poor man to be In such com- pnny. The race In 1891, when His Highness defeated YorkvlHe Belle nnd Dngonet, was another one to lie remembered. In 1833 Point no nnd Pobldns were the contenders, beginning thou their remarkable rivalry for turf honors. In 1837 came the greatest surprise of tht series, when L'Alouette captured the stake; an utter outsider, wholly unregarded by tht wise ones In turf form. Since then eolts , like Ballyhoo Bey, Halvahle. Hamburg Bells and Artful have captured the stake, fully rewarding the hopes of a majority of ths students of form.

Birmingham pounded Keith nnd Menny all over the flcbl In Little Bock nnd won by the score of 8 to 2. The Travelers are the Joke team of the Houthern league. They bnvfe won only five games out of thirty with Atlanta this year. However, White, a new outfielder, made four hits out of ns many times at bat. That sterling pitcher from Cave Springs, On., Frank Sparks, of the Phillies, let the mighty Giants down with two hits nnd nary n fun. He was opposed to Mnthewson, too. Sparks has been pitching superb base ball all the year, but has usually lieen un fortunate In getting poor batting support. Although outhatted and outflelded, the Chicago Spuds defeated the Clncles Thurs day by a nintb-inning finish. New York's eveu break In the double- header with the I'hllHes nyd Pittsburg's victory over St. Loula gave the Pirates the lend for second place by .006 points.

SHORT FIGHT IS EXPECTED DEATH SIGN IS SENT TO SECRETARY By PERCY WHITING. New Orlenna, Aug. 81.—Tbe Item yeater- day afternoon carried a weird pipe dream to the effect that Abraham Jacob Helmnnnn, ••cretary of the New Orleans Club, had received a miniature skull and coffin, sup- poaedly from some member of the Atlanta cluli. Helntunnn was mixed up in the rubber ball Incident that marked the last series In Nsw Orleans. The Atlanta players regard the story as a great Joke and hoot at the Idea that any memlier of the tenm sent the warning to llolnmnnn. The story sets forth the alleged fact that Helmnnnn was greatly frightened and would employ private detective* to guard himself agnlnst tinrin, supposedly from At lanta players. Billy Hmlth thinks It Is a fine advertising scheme. • • MINER BROWN STAR OF YEAR Special to The Georgian.

Nolan has accepted a bet of 81,000 t*» $850 on Nelson. There Is all sorts of odds made und ail sort* of bets, sumo at even money. Goldfield’s streets are already thronged with strangers, and every train that arrives, adds to the congested condition of affalts. Salt Lake and Denver appear to be particularly well represented. Many of the visitors want It to be understood they are here to look over mining property proposals, but being here will attend the Queensberry func tion.
