1t was reported around the ring that
Mr' Smathers won close to $4,000 on

Sheriff Bell held his lead with The
Pickett second, and McChesney in last
position. This order was maintained
around the paddock turn and into the
back stretch. Coming to the mile pole,
O'Neil and Fuller began to move up
on the leader. At the head of the

WARNED OF DANGER
IN BALL GROUND STAND.
Majority of Spectators at Game Re-
fused to Leave When Warned.

Majority of Spectators at Game Re-
fused to Leave When Warned.
With the grandstand at the Bolton
Street Baseball Park on the verge of
collapsing, and after they had been
warned of this fact by Lieutenant of
Police Walter Fleming, in the neigh
borhood of 200 people sat and applaud
ed for eight innings during the game
between the c. L. A. and Y. M. G.
A. teams yesterday afternoon.
When during the first inning. one
of the main supports of the stand
dropped two or three inches with some
thing of a crash a stampede was mar
rowly averted. The stand was crowd
ed and the spectators were for getting
out in a hurry. A few cool heads
Gained those who were frightened and
order was restored. The game went
on and the spectators remained in their
seats
Lieut. Fleming hurried to the rear
of the grandstand and made an inves-
tigation. One of the main supports
of the stand, near the top. had rotted
and was hanging by thread. Two
supports at the rear of the stand were
bullying and it looked as if the struc-
ture would collapse at any minute.
The police officer hurried to the front
of the stand and got those who occu-
pied the top seats to move lower
down.
A further examination of the stand
made it plain, however, that it was
dangerous for the spectators to re-
main where they were. The supports
looked as if they would fall any mo-
ment and it was evident to those who
made the examination that even though
the spectators refrained from applaud
ing, an impossibility at a ball game,
there was danger of the entire struc-
ture falling to the ground with serious,
and perhaps fatal results.
Once more Lieut.. Fleming appeared
at the front of the grandstand. He
notified those who were in the almost
tottering stand that it was dangerous
for them to remain in their places any
longer, and advised an immediate but
quiet and orderly exit. Less than a
hundred people needed his warning and
left the stand for the bleachers. Some
of the others moved little lower in
the stand but the majority of the
spectators sat in a structure that
threatened to give way without further
warning.
Had they realized their danger they
would have lost no time in leaving the
stand, even though they did not get
their money back. But, fortunately,
there were no more breaks, and the
game ended without n1ishap. The spec
tators PLAYED with fire, yet escaped
without being burned. The grandstand
viii probably be condemned by the
authorities and will have to be re-
paired before it can be again occupied.

CAPTAIN RAFFERTY, AND
HIS YALE FOOTBALL SQUAD

cleanest, hardest football that is in
their strong bodies. their nerves and
their brain cells, and when they are
tired to make them remember that the
other fellow is just as nearly ready to
lie down and die and perhaps a little
closer to the limit of endurance.
Capt. Rafferty, has the best quarter
back in the country to build his team
on. OF his other veterans, there is
Shevlin, one Of the two best end rushes,
If not the best, of last season, so that
the ends are cared for. His two tackles,
Hogan and Kinney, are the strongest
and fastest in the country-on last
years record-and it is probable that
Bloomer will be allowed to play. The
big gap comes in the center, where
Glass, Goss and Holt are missing. Chad
wick is gone, but Metcalf. Rockwell
and Bowman insure formidable back
field. Every man left is in the top
fight, and the task cut out for Capt.
Rafferty, is to hammer a center trio,
out Of a most promising field of ma
terial. He has reason to hope, barring
accidents, that his eleven will be as
formidable as that Of last year; though
the fortunes of football war are often
tickle.

the franchise for this season, and it is
now stated. that owing to a recent en-
actment of the Alabama Legislature
that Alabama's capital city will not
ask 70 rthe franchise for another year.
1t is also probable that Birmingham
will resign her claim on a franchise
for the same reasons that will influence
Montgomery, and if this is the case,
leaving these two cities out, New Or
leans may be another to drop out.
With these three teams out there will
be a chance for Macon Savannah and
Charleston, where professional ball has
not been played in several years, and
there has been clamor in each city
for it.

PASSING OF FORMER CHAL-
LENGER FOR AMERICAS CUP.

Shamrock II has at last been sold
to be broken up. Her purchaser was
Capt. Lem" Miller, the skipper Of the
Columbia during the summer and
Capt. Bars assistant on the Reliance
during the cup races.
The price paid for the hull is not
known. but il is believed that II was
not far from $1,000. Capt. Miller has
a partner In the speculation and they
will personally superintend the break
ing up Of the ex-challenger.
The Shamrock II. has been on the
shore at Erie Basin for nearly two
years, and while being protected from
the weather as far as practicable, has
become less and less valuable by rust
and corrosion. In her races With the
Columbia. she made q far better show
ing for the cup than the Shamrock
III, as in her last race she crossed
the finishing line two seconds ahead
of the defender, but lost by Al sec
onds, due to the allowance OF 4S sec
onds which the challenger was forced
to give her opponent.
Much of the metal in the hull and
the lead in the keel of the old boat
has, OF course, some value, and It
will in all probability be disposed Of
upon the most advantageous terms
Early in the spring Mr.. File, undsr
Sir THOMAS Lipton's direction, sent for
the light spars of the Shamrock H.,
as we'll as all of her available iron
work and her small boats, and they
were forwarded to Scotland without
less of time. Even in the late races
the Shamrock III. was using the old
gaff of the Shamrock II.
OF the Shamrock III. it is still under
stood that she will be hauled out at
Erie Basin, but some hitch In the nego-
tiations between the owner and the
yard people has delayed the prelimi-
nary work necessary before she can be
given a shore berth.
For cruising purposes the Shamrock
III. would require much alteration and
a decided reduction OF draught, and
IL IS hardly possible that she would
be bought for racing purposes, as she
would have no contestants. But would
moi there be lots OF fun instilled into
yachting in American waters next
year n she were purchased for racing,
and the owners OF the Constitution and

BOWLING SEASON ON.

James Corbett Won the Trophy Ball
ON Hussars' Alleys Last Night.
The bowling season was formally
ushered in last night on the Geor-
gia Hussars alleys. A large crowd
filed the alleys throughout the even
ing, and the sport was greatly enjoyed.
From the interest manifested, it would
seem that the bowling fever remains
at high temperature, and that the de-
voices of the popular sport will be as
numerous as in seasons past.
The bowling ball presented by Lieut..
w. H. Connerat, Jr., for the highest
score was won handily by Mr.. James
Corbett on a score Of 2se. There were
no other scores in this immediate VI
cinity, though Mr.. Remler and Mr..
Quantock made several scores which
we're close to the 200 mark. The trophy
was presented to the winner by Capt.
j. Cunningham Postell, who made a
number of altogether impromptu, but,
nevertheless, appropriate, remarks.

VARIETY IN STYLES
AMONG THE GOLFERS.

First Class Play Results From
Widely DIVERGENT Methods.
The most surprising thing about
golfing styles is their variety. No
two players methods are alike. and it
is astonishing how such equal results
are obtained in first-class play by
widely divergent methods.
In the face of the wide differences
between the styles of even the best
players 1t is impossible to be dogInatic
about the superiority of any one par
ticular style. Men play a first-class
game to-day in style that would have
seemed almost blasphemous to the
players of the old Scottish school, but
the proof of the pudding is in the
eating of it, and, however, tastes may
differ about the respective beauties of
the old st. Andrews swing and the
modern forearm hitting with a much
shorter swing, there can be no doubt
that the new way is fully as effective
as the old for the majority of play
ers.
The only trouble about the modern
way is that it demands a greater
amount Of physical strength than the
old. Unless a man is endowed with
very strong arms and wrists he will do
better with the old swinging way OF
hitting the ball, and conversely those
who are strong of arm and wrist viii
be wise to abjure it. Especially does
this apply to those who take up the
game after reaching maturity. This is
A point too often neglected by begin
ners and also by teachers. A mans
style should be built on his physical
capabilities, and he should not force
himself or be forced into copying the
methods of others differently endow-
ed by nature.
But whether a man swings long or
short he should cultivate his wrists.
Strength and suppleness of wrist are
absolutely essential to success in golf,
and it is astonishing what power can
be developed by judicious exercising
by those whose wrists are naturally
thin and weak. Light dumb bell ex-
ercise is as good a method of wrist
strengthening as any. Take light
dumb bell in each hand-the weights
can be increased gradually-and hold
the hands with the backs toward you
in front of the chest. BY simply rails
ing and dropping the dumb bells with
the hands from the wrists, the arms
being kept steady, you will exercise
and strengthen the precise muscles and
sinews that are of most use in golf.

The young man who holds the center
of the stage has always played the kind
of football that has won championships
for Yale, and that has something to
do with his elevation to office. He
pounds away until he drops in his
tracks, and without any spectacular eff
fects, does his duty as he finds it, and
does not know enough to quit when he
is hurt. There is lots of talk about the
new rules, and the wonderful tricks"
and strategies that will be sprung by
cunning coaches. AS a. matter of fact,
the magnificent elevens Of Gordon
Brown and George Chadwick battered
their opponents to pieces, and put all
fancy plays to confusion, by the
straight, hard football, that will win as
long as the game is worthy the name
it bears.
And this is the sort that Rafferty,
plays, and he has the spirit that will
keep his team UP to this mark. He
is not bothering his head about the new
rules. That is for the coaches to heat
their mental bearings over. His BUSH
ness is to make eleven men play the

The statement that has been made
in Southern League towns that Mont

Chattanooga is entirely out of the

it two years ago and forfeited it by
