QUEEN OF TROTTERS WILL
AGAIN ATTACK RECORD
Lou Dillon Will Go Against Field on Memphis
Track Next Month

Lou Dillon, the queen of trotters, will
not start again until Oct. 81 at Mem
phis. II she can beat two minutes
this year, she must have the advan-
tage of a perfect track and the history
of the only two race meetings given
over the Memphis course would indi-
cate that it is the one place on the
map where the conditions are most
likely to be such as would enable the
queen to lower her record.
Horsemen familiar with the Mem
phis course say. that the shape Of the
turns as well as the quality of the
footing has much to do with it's supe-
riority and in this connection it will
be interesting to note that the Mem
phis track is identical in shape with
the Readville course over which Lou
tTotted her famous two-minute heat,
both having been laid out by Mr.. Seth
Griffin.
The top soil of the Memphis track
is peculiar kind of clay which does
not contain an atom of sand or gravel.
It requires more water and more work
TO put 1t in order than any other
track. but once in shape it comes
nearer being strip of rubber than
anything else. Owing to perfect ia
cilities for watering it. the Memphis
track can be flooded in short time
and during the recent spell of dry
weather 1t frequently took $4,000 gal
Ions of water a day to keep it in or
der. Last year Uncle Seth Griffin
used from ten to fifteen teams of
mules on the track at all times when
racing was not actually in progress.
and the same plan will be followed
this year with the hopes of giving Lou

clock and will stick close to the mo-
tors until the track has been clrcled
100 times. Both motors are in splendid
condition and will be able to do the
twenty miles at terrific rate OF speed
fast enough to make any man in the
game lose his cork if the throttle is left
open for the distance that will be COW

rode hard yesterday morning for an
hour, and the performance was repeat
ed in the afternoon. They are in con-
dition to ride fifty miles If the tires
could stand the wear and tear.

pany with The Abbot and Prince Alert,
and If her nearest rival. 1.-The great
Major Delmar, should chance to like
the Memphis track as well as he did
last year, the queen will certainly
have to do something in the way Of a.
1859 stunt to keep out of the Majors
way. 1t will be remembered that
Delmar was never able to beat 2:0S
during his last years campaign until
he struck Memphis, where he reeled
off a mile in 2:05A on the bit. The
Majors case, however, is simply one
of many and glance at the follow

There is now a possibility that the

Little Rock on a technicality.
If the board of directors of the
Southern League follows the constitu-
ton it must throw out the games won
by Nashville from Little Rock with
Hugh Hill playing These games were
protested by Manager Finn last June,
and the protest was never acted on,
being left to the board of directors.
Another game which Little Rock lost
to Montgomery was protested by Lew
Whistler, because Lew Walters play

these games are thrown out it will
make quite a difference in the stand
ing of the teams, which would be as

WILL ORGANIZE
TEAM TODAY
Football Players Will Meet at Turkish Baths This
Morning

The Savannah football team that will
meet all Corners on the gridiron this
season, will be formally organized at
the Turkish Bath this morning at IL
o'clock, when a meeting of all those
interested in the game will be pres
ent.
The object of the meeting is to de-
termine just who will be candidates
for positions. and what methods it
will be best to pursue in getting the
team ready for early games
The football season has already
opened in the North and letters are
being received here daily from South

None of these can be definitely an

ton is perfected and a team assured

than formerly in organizing. This was
largely due to the fact that those in
terested in getting a team on the field
have been waiting for the permanent
organization of the Savannah Athletic
Association which is to take charge
of the team. Pending the organization
of the association, the football team
will be organized for the present indie
pendently.
Nearly all of the members of last
years team have signified their inten-
ton of playing again this year, and
if they do, it is safe to say that the
season will be the most successful in
the history of the game in Savannah.
Not only will the games be played
with city teams. but many colleges
will come here to play, and Savannah
fans will have an opportunity of see
ing the best elevens in the South this
year.

Stories Told by the Chin

A woman with a very pointed chin is
delicate sensibilities. something of a
doubter Of her fellow-creatures and fit
ted by nature for a producer Of original
work of one kind or another. Chins
with deep clefts in them declare their
cwnens' anxiety to be loved, while a
narrow, square. firm chin, on the con-
trary. evinces a desire to give love. AS
a broad square chin signifies passion,
it follows by study of the various
qualities shown by these features that
a really nice and highly talented
woman must have a chin that is a mar
row square. ending in fine point, with
a sufficient cleft in it to mean a whole
