PATHFINDERS HAD A NARROW
ESCAPE IN FIRST GAME WITH YIN. a..

to impress the fan that he has lots of
grit, and with little hard work in
fast company will make good. Jutzi
who pitched the last three innings
was particularly impressive with his
wonderful speed. He has had but lit
tie practice yet, however. and has poor
control
The backstop work of Hopkins was
excellent. His throwing arm is a lit
tie slow yet, but no one dared to try
and steal bag on him after he shot
Harmon at second.
The knock that must always come
could find no better Judgment yester-
day than the claim that the Y. M. c..
AS should have been beaten by a
great bunch of runs to demonstrate
that the Pathfnders are to make good.
They could not do quite as well as New
York or Philadelphia, but very few of
those who are making such broad
comparisons take into consideration
the fact that one man on the big
league teams cost more than the en-
tireNSavannah team.
LaRocque LIS Satisfied.
II am satisfied with the showing
the boys made" said Dad last night.
Harmon pitched a good game of ball,
and our boys were a bit off in hitting
hard, but l think those who are in
clined to knock a little because we
did not eat them up will find that Sa-
vannah will show up wonderfully we'll
in a few more days.
The game did all of us good, and
brought about much towards perfect
team work. That is what we are
fighting for now, and I really did not
care whether we made it a runaway
game or not. 1 don't want to be put
in the light of making excuses, for
L do not consider that any are neces-
sary with such game of ball as was
played. The grounds were a bit slow
and it was our first lineup"
Monday morning the entire field at
Bolton Street Park will be ploughed
and levelled, and then the real ability
OF the men in a fast game can be de-
termined.
Because of the excellent showing
made by the Y. M. c. A. boys yes
terday a number of other games will
be arranged WHICH will afford ex-
| cellent practice for the team.

TRIALS FOR THE AUTO CUP.
Florida Beach Abandoned and n
Long Island Course Probable.

Florida Beach Abandoned and N
Long Island Course Probable.
The beach at Ormond, Fla. has been
abandoned DIS :, place for holding tha
trial contests of the cars entered for
the international cup race.
Reports from Florida were received
by the Race Committee Of the Auto
mobile Club of America some time ago
to the effect that the beach there is in
very poor condition now, and the off,
Gals began to look around for another
course, which was desirable anyhow
from the point of accessibility.
II is understood that course on
Long Island which is forty-one miles
in cireuit will probably be chosen.
The Elizabeth Cranford-Rahway
course in New Jersey, which for years
has been used for bicycle races, has
been inspected and approved, but the
state law Of New Jersey does not per-
NIT of local authorities, suspendng the
speed limit, while the New York law
does, so the Long Island course is like-
ly to be selected. 1t includes the Jeri-
cho pike from Queens to Jericho and
then the road to Hicksville and some
others.
The cars entered for the cub race are
to report to the Race Committee OF the
Automobile Club a week from to-mor-
row and receive their orders where to
report for the tests. There is some
doubt existing whether there will be
more than one or two cars ready to re-

The playing of the Y. M. G. A. team
WAS the best exhibition they have ever
niven. and Harmon's pitching was the
same star feature thatI1t has always
bAen. though the Pathfinders are en-
titIed to some excuses, not having en-
eaged in batting practice so far
The score was tied up to the SIXTH
when. with the bases full, and no one
out. Harmon gave Pathfinder ms
base on balls, forcing in a run. The
score was again tied in the seventh,

In the nlaving of Dads team there
v-as evidence of a lack of SUFFICIENT
batting practice. The ball was mt
freely, but none of them were OF the
nature that earn runs. The SOFT con-

Gently been worked over, impeded the
ground balls, and a stiff breeze from
the south kept the high ones swing

game, making the star double play OIL
the game. and also leading in the stick
work for the Y. NJ. c. AS, and Har-
mons splendid pitching, the game was
as hard as Dad cares to go up against
with the little practice at hitting MS
men have had.
Conrad Welsh, the Birmingham boy
was on the firing line for the Path
finders the first three innings, and haC
things all his own way. One hit was
charged up against him, a long drive

BLOOD SAYS A DECISION WILL NOT
BE NECESSARY WHEN HE MEETS JOE
Declares He Will Put Capetown Off the Map
in Early Stages.

Blood, who is scheduled to meet
Capetown Joe for the championship of
the South for welterweights, said last
night that he cared little whether there
was an agreement to have a decision
in the twenty-round bout or not. as
he intended to put the willy Capetown
to sleep early in the game.
A decision win be made. however,
in the event both men are on their feet
at the finish. as this will prevent any
smothering or effort to stay the limit
by running tactics. Capetown has
agreed to this. and says he does not
fear the result.
Both men were hard at work yester-
day, and spent most of the time on
the road. Several wagers have all
ready been made on the result. with

Capetown slightly in favor, His past
record is responsible for this. Blood
asks that all of his friends get down
with perfect confidence, as he will put
up the fight of his life, and will not be
put out
IAN / want to do is to get in the
ring with him. and then / won't give

been and nothing he can do will save
him from the worst beating he has
ever had. If he stays the limit 1t will
be because 1 break both of my arms
and 1 don't think that will happen"
Capetown is equally confident, and
has wagered some of his surplus money
on the result with willing takers. He
got some down at even money, and
one ardent admirer of Blood thought
so well of the ability Of Blood that he
gave slight odds. The bout will be
commenced promptly at $50 o'clock.

some effect here, but not as much as
the fact that the northwest markets,
after easing off from the early bulge.

was no new export wheat sales. Cash
wheat was slow here, not following The
