The rare Ihwwb the* crew* of the Eng lish nnd American "Cumbrldgera" hn* oc casioned quite a* much Interest along the Thames a* th** us mi I I liter-university races Itetwecu crews of tin* Eucllsh colleges. There is uo disguslng the fact also that it tuny lack In weight It will more thau make up in speed and generalship, for the latter qualities have always chuntcterlxed the efforts of this splendid young roach. Frank Rlake tins been coacbtug three year* now, and in that (icriod lui* lost only five games, and failed to score In only two of those. It would not l*e surprising to hi* many friends and admirers to see him coaching a Idg college team next year. It |H said that several universities have becu dbkerlng with him for terms. Rlake uses the Yost-McGugln ‘'hurry-up’* *astent, with variation* and addltious of Harvard hn* won many *tnunch support- er* from the very rank* of Engllsh-row- Ing cracks. On every hand, continent* concerning the respective abilities of the rival eight* can In* heard, but never u harsh word against the lads who have come from across the seas to contest with thu best college onr«- men of the Ilrltlsli Isle*. The odd* on the outcome are close to even money, with a shade In fnvor of the Americans. A number of tbiugs have en tered Into the shaping of these odd*. Tlie Harvard Itoy* have been subjected to the closest scrutiny during their dally practice spins on the river, with the result that every trick and catch of their rowing Is known. Even the inoat ardent pnrtlsnn of old Cnntah must confess that the form of the Americans Is per/ect. They # nro train ed to the hour, and show no evidence of having been through one gruelling contest already tills yenr. On the other hnnd. It must ho admitted that the Englishmen are not perfectly, fit. They have all the confidence needed, hut their work d«*es not show the united finish of lheir rivals, and when they have been subjected to severe strain, they show signs of exhiuiHtien. This I* not true of the Har vard hoys. Even after their most severe trials, they have come down the course without appnretit fatigue. There Is a vast difference In the style of the two crews. The Harvard boat Is rig ged with all the modern appliance* to aid the rower* In their work. Sliding stents, swivel outriggers, lightweight—nothing ha* been omitted. Thus aided, the American* go to their work with a long slide, which lengthens out their pull to a very appre ciable extent. This arrangement makes It possible for the rower* to put every pound of strength Into the stroke; legs, body mid arms all contribute something to the re sult. With the English rowers. It Is dif ferent. Their stroke la governed front the waist up, and the greatest burden come* upon the anus nnd the small of the hack. While It Is possible to give some Idea of the style of the two crews nnd their vis ible condition. It will t>e quite Impossible to get any adequate line on them until the OOCKUOOOOQOOOQOOOOQOOOOOOOO Q O O UNASSISTED TRIPLE O O MADE BY BIG MURCH.

The Thame* between Putney nnd Mortlakc bn* the shape of n great hprse shoo magnet, with the legs turned outward, thu* mak ing a course with three turns. The north ern side of the course, or the outside of the horse shoe, Is on the Middlesex side. It Is evident to nny one who will look nt the map, thnt the crew having the Middle sex berth will have the same ndvnntnge ns the horse which hn* the position on the rail. Should the crew holding the outside of Surrey berth succeed In holding their boat on even term* with the favor ites, they will have a great advantage when they turn the curve Into the main body of the horse shoe. The final curve of the course has been estimated to Im» worth three-qtinrters of a length to the crew having the Middlesex berth. It Is plain to In* seen, therefore, that should the crew In the Surrey |»osl- tlnn secure a lend of a length on the great curve nnd still maintain Its strength, Its chances of winning are of the best. It Is stated thnt the Cambridge crew phi ns to stnrt Immediately and gain what ever advantage Is possible on the outside, with the hope of placing Hnrvnrd In the stern position and tiring her out. If the Hnrvnrd measure fooled by such tnctles It will be their own fault, for they know Just how long It will take to cover the course, nnd It I* supposed thnt they will row at their average speed throughout, paying little heed to the tactics of the Britishers. Th*' course I* 4*6 mile* long, a half mile longer than the Yale-Harvard course nt New London, but thl* fact will not cause the Harvard crew nny worry, for the race Is to lie rowed on the flood tide, which will more than compensate for the extra distance.

ATLANTA MAY RUN SECOND IN SPITE OF HARD LUCK Memphis, seventy-three—fifty-two. New Orleans, seventy-one—fifty- four. Atlanta, seventy-two—fifty-five. That's how the teams stand now In the race for second place. Memphis has won only one more game than Atlanta and has lost three less. That would not be a great many—If the season had happened to be young— but quite a few with only a ,x(eelc and a day to play. The season ends next Saturday. At that time Birmingham will be declared the winner of the great and glorious rag—which rag will be formally award ed to Birmingham at the meeting of the Southern League, which will be held In the Alabama metropolis In Decem ber. This Is now a double-rlvlted, special ly reinforced, one-best-bet sort of a cinch. Every man on the Baron team can fall dead this afternoon and yet the Barons will win. There Is nothing to that, and hasn't been—not since It became evident that the Southern League, out of what looks like a rather misguided spirit of generosity—decided not to go into the Castro matter. But second place is still open. And Atlanta, New Orleans and Memphis are Pet. -572 •5*1 running nose and nose—In the reven. order from that named. Atlanta has nine more games to pi 9v Including Saturday's contest. Memohfi has eight. Well. If Memphis loses five anil win, three and Atlanta wins six and lotei three Atlanta will get second nine. The standing will then be: Club. Won. Lost. Atlanta '. 78 58 Memphis 76 67 , , This winning of second place ought not to be so difficult a matter. Shrev,. port and New Orleans come next week and they are both good clubs. But At. lanta Is the best In the South on her own grounds and six out of nine. In. eluding one from Little Rock, ought te be quite ctnch-llke. As for Memphis—next week Babb', hired men will have to tackle Mont, gomery and Birmingham. The former team ought to win a game or two and the latter to cop the majority. If the* do, then Atlanta will win second pine, nnd the team will get that thouaanil dcdlnrs. For New Orleans does not seem to be In at present, though the Pelicans din win a game FiM.-ir. It will take hard work and good link to land Atlanta second—but herc'i hoping. If Atlanta can finish second to Btrm. Ingham It will be the best performance of eastern clubs since the league was organised. Salvidere Looks the Best Among2-Year-Olds of 1906 By J. S. A. MACDONALD. Now York, Sopt. 8.—Early lit the yenr the experts conceded the 2-year-old champion ship to Water I’enrl. Then ltefore the run ning of the Brighton he sprung a squeamish tendon and went out of training. Within the very next week three comparatively un heard of *tar* calmly moved within the sphere of the championship ken—Salvidere. Electioneer nnd Fountnlnblenu. Since then their performances have been so high class ns to make Water Pearl nnd Oran no bet ter than equals. With the Flntbush Stnkes over, the 2-year-old championship laurels must be flunlly awarded to one or other of the above trio. There are but two others worthy of consideration. A filly, James R. Keene's Court Dress, has shown so well In her stake engagements she really deserves a ranking with the very top-notcher*. Then Oscar Lewlsohn's colt, Yankee Gun, ran so strong n fourth to Electioneer, Pope Joan nnd De Mu lid thnt he Is regarded by many of the experts as the best youngster lit training. Pope Joan, despite her Futur ity performance, Is too wblspy to gain the sntlle of n sharp observer. The Flntbush running has not definitely settled the question of the championship In my mind. When the weather gets n lit tle bit cooler I should like to see Salvidere, Fountnlnblenu. Electioneer, De Mttnd, Yan kee Gun, Peter Pan and Court Dress run down a seven furlong straightaway. MalvI- dere ought to win. The absence of the much-heralded colt. Jack Atkins, Is re gretted on all sides ns much bernuso of the popularity of “Harney" Hchtieber as the quiet understanding of the youngster's abil ity to trim the best of the New York "ba bies" when right. Horace R„ another colt brought East hy Sehrleher. and which he *old to the Messrs. Rainey for $25,000, I* too small and light In flesh to show the class credited him. He has not growu an Inch since leaving Memphis. Tonn., Inst Mny. All In nil, I regard Salvidere ns the greatest colt of the year, with Water Pearl almost ns fast and classy. Hnlvlderu went to John E. Madden from the sales ring for $3,700. He has won Just $41,560 for Madden since then nnd could uot be purchased today for $40,000. League Standings j Clubs— Birmingham Memphis . .
