The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-02-20


 Most of the fast amateur teams ot last summer will be reorganized and the I'll, valry of last season Will pc intensnieu this year. Manager Ed Burke or last years l.. and N. team says he will nave even a stronger aggregation out for this season, while the Falcons will have an- other strong team. The rivalry between these two teams last season was intense, and some of the games between them have never been equalled by professional teams in Montgomery. Another exceed ingiy fast organization of last season was the ball team of the Y. M. C.. A. ana life has been imbued and the team that they will put out this season will be one that will keep them all guessing. The boys of the University School will last-several games are scheduled. the first one being with the Marion Military Institute. the game to be played in Montgomery. It Is pretty certain that burn and Tuscaloosa. the date not hav- ing been fixed yet. The excitement at- tendant on the last ball game between these two State colleges will never be point 1t would look suicidal not to have one or a series of games in Montgomery | this season. Selma, Eufaula, Columbus and other nearby towns will have fast | teams and a series of games will be It will not be long now before the be- ginning of the spring racing season. ana speaking or it an exchange exc nncsa, says; , the thoroughbred will begin to sound in the first meeting of the legitimate racing sea son, that of the Little Rock Jockey Clup, which will be held during the last full week of March. The issuance of the stake entries during the past week calls attention to the fact that the season IS crowding on. as after Little Rocks single l~. fA- At-AA raDku and that will bring the followers of the game up to within a couple of weeks of
 the local seasons opening. The settle ment of the general trouble among the number and class of the entries to the three stakes to be run during the Little Rock week. Most important Of these. of course, is the Arkansas Derby. for which and they are well enough balanced on their 2-year-old form to promise a great race. Most prominent in the list are George Bennetts three. Ed Austin, Alad- din and Herodiade. This entry alone will be sufficient to attract a general interest to the stake, as Ed Austin was one of the first night of last seasons 3-year-olds, Aladdin is generally regarded as the special pride and hope of the Bennett menase for the more important derbies later on, though something of a dark horse. while Herodiade won the only race in which McChesney was beaten after the Hildreth colt got good late in the
 Hiidreth names McChesney one of the favorites for the American Derby at Washington Park. and may start him. though he also has in Lucien Appleby. another good one. Huntressa. who won more races last year than any 2-year- old in the country, is entered by Wade McLemore. and if any Ally Is to beat the colts this year, 1t looks like this is the one. Sold as a no-account by her breeder. she developed into an iron horse, with the courage of a bulldog. a liking for any kind of route, short or long, and ability to plod through mud or skim over | fast track. While generally rated as of only fair class, she beat good old | horses at Delmar last summer, and did
 1t impressively. John Schorr's trio. Ma l Jor Tenny. Miss Edd and H. l.. Coleman,
 don't call for much by comparison with those named above. though the Schorr string is notedly weak on Derby timber this year His best chance seems to lie with the lilly. Flora Pomona, named as
 the entry of J. w. Schorr & Co.,, mean ing MT. Schorr and W. F. Schulte. This | lilly showed herself of a high type in the early racing in California last winter,
 and made record which brought her penalties in stakes and in handfcaps in all her races on this side of thel noun tains. She was raced under these discour- aging conditions during the summer. and | her delicate nature could not stand the grueling and she has failed to show how good she really was, because of her poor opportunities With more considerate handling and good health. she ought to
 develop into a first class Ally this year,
 and by that same token 1t looks like she
 ought not be sent against so good a field as that in the Arkansas Derby so early in the year. J. U. Strode, with Prow and Ed Trotter with Lingo. and. all in all. the bunch that will go to the post make the field look like one that will put up race worth running down to the Rock to see.
 The Bob Furth stake. for the older division. has in such frequent winners as Choice. Frank M, W. B. Gates Little Scout and horses of that class. The Capi- tai Hotel stake. for 2-year-olds. has brought out nicely bred lot. One of the features of the Little Rock meeting has always been the fact that 1t is here J. W. Schorr introduces to the turf one or two of his star 2-year-olds. who have al- ways represented the main strength of his stable He has four entries in the Capital Hotel stake and the showing of the one or two he starts will be watched with interest.
