ATLANTA MAY RUN SECOND
IN SPITE OF HARD LUC
Perhaps no craw svar sent abroad
has attraotsd more attention than
this on*.
They went unheralded. The money
to send them was quietly raised and
they ware shipped to England.
But since they have been there
they have done stunts which have
interested all students of rowing.
The ersw was most warmly . _
ceived in England and its members
have won innumerable friends.
Memphis, seventy-three—fifty-two.
New Orleans seventy-one—fifty-
four.
Atlanta, seventy-two—flffy-flve.
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 week and a
day to play.
The season ends next Saturday,
that time Birmingham will be declared
the winner of the great and glorious
rag—which rug 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-rivlted, special
ly reinforced, one-boat-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 whnt 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 arc
running nose and nose-in the re
order from that named. veri
Atlanta has nine more games .
Including Saturday's contest \i.Jh
has eight. ’ •jj'rapt
Well. If Memphis loses five „ na
three and Atlanta wins six amt i
three Atlanta will get seen
The standing will then be: ^
Club. won. Lost.
Atlanta 78 58
Memphis B -
Thls winning of second place
not to be so difficult a matter s
port and New Orleans come ne XI .
and they are both good clubs Rut
lanta is the bpst In the South
own grounds and six out of oc
cluding one from Little Rock 0
be quite clnch-llke.
As for Memphis—next week
hired men will have to tackle
gomery and Birmingham. The f,
team ought to win a game or
the latter to cop the majority
do. then Atlanta will win serr*fl
and the team will get that tho
dollars. F’or New Orleans rtoei
soon to be In at present,
Pelicans din win a game Fim|,
It will take hard work and goal
to land Atlanta second—hut h
hoping.
If Atlanta can finish second to B
Ingham It will be the best perf,, rm
of eastern clubs since the league
organised.

HOW CAMBRIDGE WON THE GREAT RACE
Putney, England, Sept. 8.—The winning of the Cambridge crew from Harvard this afternoon was one of
the finest contests ever rowed on the historic Putney to Mortlake course.
At 4 o’clock the wind freshened and cut up the water of the Thames, which was petting In with the last of
the flood tide. This put an obstacle In the way of the rowers which smashed all hopes of making the course In
record time.
It was 4:23 when the crew put their shells In the water.
The actual start of the race was two minutes aiiead of schedule. Harvard won the toss for positions and
had the Surrey berth, while Cambridge was in the Middlesex position. The real advantage at the start was with
Cambridge however, for the Middlesex side of the river at Putney forms the Inner course of the first turn.
So nt 4-28 the race was on. Cambridge, taking full advantage of her position, put her full power Into the
stroke and succeeded In gaining a slight lead at the very start. Harvard struggled beautifully and In perfect form
to keep up with the Flngllshmen, but they were at great disadvantage against the wind and the cantabs pulled
away to such an extent that Cambridge waa two and a quarter lengths to the good at Crabtree.
The boys from tho United States did not lose heart for a minute, but plugged steadily along. On the other
hnnd the long continued strain had begun to tell on the leaders, who began to fall back a bit, so that when the
crews came under Hammersmith bridge the Yankees had made up a length and a quarter.
Inch by Inch the crimson boat ate Into the lead of Its rival. As the crews passed Beverly Brook Harvard was
onlv one length to the bad and the rowers were still In as good form as at the start.
Now the race was nip nnd tuck, Cambridge striving to null a-.- \y and Harvard bending every effort to come
In oven ^ Loid'klllls the boats were still Just about ft length npart, the bow of the crimson being on even terms
with the stern of the light blue. Each ctew was putting It up to the tune of 37 strokes a minutes.
As the racers came up Dovers, watchers on the bank saw the light of confidence grow bright In,the eyes
of the giants from America. Captain Fllley called for a spurt, and the fight was on. Little by little, but with
the precision of fate, the crimson shell answered to the strength of her drivers. Little by little her bow was
pushed UP along the quarter of the Britishers. Even as they were about to snatch victory from defeat, the Har
vard boat went wrong. These races on the Thames are battles of coxswains, anyway, and It Is probably due to the
superior knowledge of the waters of the course stored up in the memory of Cambridge's pilot that she won. How
ever this may he. certain It Is that the Harvard boat went wrong at Chiswick. Blagden steered his boat out too
far la the stream and that Is the story of hts crew's defeat.
At Thornycrofts. Cambridge was leading by one nnd a half lengths and at Devonshire Meadows there
wn« two lengths botween the boats. The race was won then, and the Cambridge men let up .. little, whereat
• ilr. Harvard boat e»aln caught up a little and finished only two lengths In the rear.
Ule The official time of the Cambridge crew was 19:18.

the time set for the great contest between
Harvard nnd Cambridge over this histori
cal conrse. the river hanks ' '"blgc.
were crowded and every available point
on the water was occupied by boats gaily
Tbe light blue colors of Cambridge pre
dominated. but there was also an ahim-
dant sprinkling of crimson. Many F.ngl sh-
men wore rite two colors In combination,
There seemed to lie an unanimity of opln,
Ion tttnt tho rsee wuuhl be the greutest
International affair ever contested between
oarsmen, mid while some In-t. are being
made at odd, of 0 to 5 In favor of < nra-
t,ridge, It was the genrnt belief this morn
ing that the affair Is nu even money prop-
ONltlOD- _
Nobody denied that the Harvard men are
In |»«>tt«*r form, but. on llu 1 other huml. the
Cambridge oarfliuen had the Advantage of
greater familiarity with the course, which
I* an Item of no small Importance In a
race of this kind.
An effort was made this morning to se-
cure some expression of opinion oil the
outcome from both csptnlns.
Captain Goldsmith, of the Csutabs, said
before the race: - .
"Please do not think that we do not real
ise that the Americana are foeitien worthy
of our greatest efforts. We have been
greatly pleased with the attitude of the
jnukco captain nnd hi* men. anti are sur-
prliMHi at their wonderful Improvement In
form since their arrival nt Putney. But,
of course, we expect to win. We beltovs
we are Just a* fast a* the Americans, ami
have the additional advantage of being fa*
ml I In r with the tide* nnd eddies of tbe
river We do not expect to win by a
groat margin, but we certainly should
come home to Mori lake fully a length lu
the lead."
Captain* Fllley posseaed nil the confidence
born of full strength nnd perfect reliance
upon his crew motes, lie said:
"We came over here to win, and hope
to realize our expectation*. A race of this
klnil depends upon the knowleiige of the
coxswain fully os much n* the oarsmanship
.f the crew. Blagden has made a special
tnd careful study of this course since
we have been here, nnd we are wllllug
to sit lu front of him, and Jndleve that
he will do the piloting correctly If we
furnish the speed."
The race between the crews of the Eng-
] I all and American ’’Csmbridgers*’ lias oc
casioned quite n* much Interest along the
Thame* a* the usual Inter-university race*
between crews of the KnglUh colleges.
There I* no dlsgusing the fact also that
Harvard ha* won many stannch support
er* from the very ranks of Eugllsh-row-
Ing crack*.
On every hand, comment* concerning the
respective shuttle* of the rival eights can
be hoard, but never n harsh word against
the Uila who have come from nrroes the
seas*to contest with the beat college oars
men of the British Isles.
The odds on the outcome are close to
even money, with n shade la favor of tbe
Atnerit-ait*. A number of things have on*
tered Into the shaping of these mills. The
Harvard Lu»* bare been subjected to the
closest scrutiny during their dally practice
spin* on the river, with the result tb.it
every trick and catch of their rowing U
known. Even tho most ardent partisan of
old t’antah must confess that the form of
the Amerlcnua. Is |H*rfect. They are train
ed to the hour, nnd show no evidence of
having been through one gruelling content
already this year.
On the other hnnd. It must 1>e admitted
that the Englishmen are not perfectly Ut.
They have all the confidence needed, hut
their work doe* not show the united finish
of their rivals, nnd when they have b
subjected to severe strain, they show signs
of exhaustion. This Is not true of the liar-
vs til boys. Even after their most severe
trials, they have come down the course
without apparent fatigue.
There Is n vast difference In the style of
the two crews. The Harvard boat Is rig
ged with all the modern appliances t<
the rowers lu their work. Nlldlng atents,
swivel outrigger*, lightweight—nothing has
been outltt«i|. Thus aided, tbe Aniericnni
go to their work with a long slide, which
lengthens out their pull to a very nppre-
clnhle extent. This arrangement makes It
possible for the rowers to put every (Round
of strength Into the stroke; legs, body and
arms nil contribute *ometlilt*g to the re
lit. With the English row.T*. It Is dlf-
•rent. Their stroke Is governed from the
alst up, and the greatest burden comes
mui the arms and the small of the bnek..
While it Is possiblo to give some Idea of
the style of the two crew* and their vU
Ible condition. It will he ipilte Inipomdhlc to
get any ndei|unte line ou them until the

SOMETHING ABOUT COURSE.
The Putney course Is not straightaway,
a* the case on the American courses. The
Thame* between Putney und Mortlnke has
the shape of a great horse shoe magnet,
with the leg* turned outward, thus mak
ing n courwo with three turns. The north
ern side of the course, or the outride of the
horse shoe. Is on the Middlesex side. It
Is evident to any one who will look nt
the map, that the crew having the Middle
sex berth will fmve the same advantage
a* the horse which ha* the position on
the rail. Should the crew holding the
outside of Surrey berth succeed In holding
their bent on even terms with the fin
ite*. they will have ii great advantage
when they turn the cane iuto the main
body of the horse shoe.
The tlnnl curve of the course has been
estimated to he worth three-quarters of
a length to the crew having the Middlesex
berth. It Is plain to l*e seen, therefore,
thnf should the crew In the Surrey posi
tion secure n lend of a length ou. the great
me nnd still maintain its strength, Its
tin nee* of winning are of the best.
It Is stnfod that the Cambridge crew
plan* to Htrtrt Immediately mid gain what-
rer advantage I* possible on the outside,
rith the hope of placing Harvard In the
stern position and tiring her out. If the
Harvard men are fooled by such tactics It
111 l>«* Ibelr own Unit, for they know
Just how long It will t*kt to cover the
course, and It Is supposed that they will
row at Ibelr average speed throughout,
paying little heed to the tactics of the
Britishers.
The course Is 4% mile* long, a half mile
longer thmi the Ynlc-TInrvnrd course at
New I-emloii, hut this fact will not cn
the Harvard crew any worry, for the race
Is to Irc roweil on the flood tide, which
will more than compensate for the extra
distance.
PERSONNEL OF CREWS.
Here 1* the personnel of tho two teams
ns they will race:
By J. 8. A. MACDONALD.
New York, Sept. 8.—Gariy In the year the
experts conceded the 2-year-old champion
ship to Water Pearl. Then before the run
ning of the Brighton he sprung u squeamish
tendon nnd went out of trniulng. Within
the very next week three comparatively un
heard of stars calmly moved within the
sphere of the championship ken—Salvidere,
Electioneer and Fountninhlenu. Since then
their performances have been so high class
ns to make Water Tcarl and Oran no bet
ter than equals. With the Flatbush Stakes
over, the 2-yenr-old championship laurels
must be Anally awarded to ope or other of
the nlROve trio. There are hnt two others
worthy of consideration. A Ally, James It.
Keene’s Court Dress, has shown so well In
her stake engagements she really deserves
a ranking with the very top-notchers.
Then Oscar Lewlsnhn'* colt, Yankee Gun,
in so strong a fonrth to Electioneer. Pope
Joan amh De Mum! that ho Is regarded by
many of the experts ns the best youugster
In training. Pope .loan, despite her Futur
ity performance, I* too whlspy to gain the
smile of a sharp observer.
The Fhithush running has not definitely
settled the question of the championship
In my mind. When the weather got* a lit
tle ldt cooler 1 should like to see Salvidere,
Fouutninhlenu. Electioneer. De Mtiml. Yan
kee Gnu, Peter Pan and Court Dres* run
down n seven furlong straightaway. Salvi
dere ought to win. The absence of the
much-hern bled colt. Jack Atkins. Is re
gretted on all sides ns much because of the
popularity of "Barney" Mchrieber a* the
quiet understanding of the yout:g*ter'H abil
ity to trim the best of the’New York "ba
bies when right.
Horace E.. another colt brought East hr
Schrleher. and which he sold to the
Messrs. Itslney for $25,000. |* too small nnd
light lu fierii to show the class credited
him. He has not grown an Inch since
leaving Memphis. Tonn., Inst May. All In
all, I regard Salvidere ns the greatest colt
of the year, with Wnter Pearl almost ns
fast and classy. Salvidere went to John
h. Madden from tho sales ring for tiw
He has won Just $41,660 for Madden

Some Shattered Comment
On Baseball Happening
Soasirt, X. J., Sept. 8.—About half of the
shooting for the individual rifle ehamplou-
shlp was completed Friday. The first five
men nt the end of tho day’s work were:
First—l.leuroiinn? Dillon, If. 8. fc’., 130 out
of s possible 150.
Second—Captain F. L. Graham, U. 8. I.,
1».
Third—Sergeant Baptist, Massachusetts,
39.
Fourth-Sergeant Brass, Montana. 139.
Fifth—Corpcral Gandy, U. 8. !., 138.
Of course, Atlanta won. BUT—
If the other eastern clnhs will uot do
their duty, what chance has Atlanta for
second place.
