ON THE RACE TRACK
At Louisville.

Louisville May 1l.-J. w. Pughs Silk Cord won the free handicap for 3-year- olds and upwards at one mile which was the feature event on today's programme, Harry New and John McGurk declining the issue, leaving nine starters to face the barrier. wain-a- -Moinen and Jiminez were equal favortes at to 1, though all of the entries were we'll backed. The mile was run in 1A, the fastest of the meeting.
 Favorites and outsiders divided the six events, which were characterized by close and exciting finishes. Jockey Reiff won his first race this afternoon, piloting Rayland first under the wire after driving finish with Mendon.
 Perfect weather and a fast track were again the conditions.

cured the most amusing play of the game. After two men were out Jimmy OBrien hit safe and played little wide off first. In an attempt to steal Ruehr caught OBrien between the bases and a lively chase followed. The ball passed from Stafford to Peas and from Peas to Stafford. with Jimmy cutting the pigeon wing between them. Finally matters grew desperate. and seeing a good chance, Jimmy dropped to the ground. tripping Stafford and sending the big first base man staggering towards second. The lit- tie third naseman was up like a flash and made a break for first. landing safe on slide. That play alone was worth the price of admission.
 In the last half of the fourth Atlanta secured her first two runs and this came about after Stafford had flied out on long drive to Duffy. Koehler hit safe to Vaughan and went to second on a false bound the ball took after cracking the old National leaguer on the shins. Mat thews followed with terrific drive over second base, scoring rxoen1er.. He went 10 second on the throw to the plate and scored on a single by Gruebner. Peas, who had made safe on a slow bunt, was caught off first by Keenan and Ruehr retired the side by striking out.
 Atlanta's third run was made in the seventh inning on Gruebner's long drive for three bags and a single by Winters
 Heart Disease In the Ninth.
 When the ninth rolled around the root CTS began stirring and the cry went forth for a rally. Everybody stood up and hundreds of yells came from score or lusty voices Cavender was the first man up and popped up a slow one. Bob Stafford came after the ball on hard run, got it in his mit-and dropped it. There was storm of yells from the grand stand and during the pandemonium Vaughan hit a beautiful single to center field, sending Cavender to third. Millar. who was next mp, hit to Gruebner, SCOT ing Cavender, but forced Vaughan out at second. This made two out and all now depended on Mcguire. After two strikes and two balls had been called Ruehr sent one straight oyer and meaaly pop fly to the pitcher followed. Ruehr put the clamps to the ball and there was noth- ing to do but catch the car and nurse the unhealed wounds of two successive defeats.
 Campbell will probably pitch for Bir- mingham today and Wilson-the mighty Wilson-will go in for the visitors.

BASEBALL NOTES.

pail of gloom settled down over the slag pile yesterday afternoon when the hopes of the fans for three bagger from Maguire's willow failed to materiallze.
 Some of those chesty individuals who get out their little tack hammers at ev- cry opportunity are wailing that the Barons are in the clutches of the old time hoodoo. They should take heart of grace. It's long way around to the pen nant and the slag pile will yet resound to shouts of victory.
 The fans had only one severe attack of heart disease yesterday, but there was nothing doing
 Jimmy O'Brien furnished the only ray of sunshine in yesterdays funeral cere- monies by his comical overthrow of At lanta's big first baseman.
 Ye gods! If Mcguire had only followed the good example set by Lew Whistler in the last Montgomery Birmingham game. The effect on the fans would have been frightful.
 The Coal Barons may be in the tail end division, but they have the company Of last years champions anyway.
 As long as the local article of baseball comes up to yesterdays standard 1t Is worth anybodys quarter.
 Jimmie OBrien Is the Coal Barons' premier comedian.
 &kA ,nfI'
 No one can complain of the Coal Barons as fielders. With little more proficiency with the willow they will yet be able to deliver several wagon loads of groceries before the season is over.
