 R. s. Stringfellow had a narrow es- cape from serious injury last night.
 He was a passenger on the Western train from Atlanta that reached here at e20 p. m, and just as the train was coming into Auburn a rock crash ed through one of the windows of the first class coach. Mir. Stringfellow had only the moment before changed his seat. this fact probably saving him from serious injury his face being cut by the flying fragments of the shat tered window glass.

FAST TRoTTING.
Billings Horses Get Three Worlds
Records

c. K. G. Billings grand string of light
harness horses put three worlds records
to its credit at Memphis yesterday after
noon. Prince Direct and Morning Star paced
a half mile to pole in 1:O02, clipping a
half second Off the previous mark; The
Monk and Equity trotted a mile to pole in
2:07%, clipping a quarter of a second off
their own worlds record, and Mr.. Billings
drove Greenline a mile, pacing, in 2:14,
knocking the fraction from the mark made
by him here on Tuesday.
Prince Direct and Morning Star, the pony
PAGERS, proved conclusively that they will
break the mile record to pole as soon as
they are ready, The half mile record was
made from the quarter to the three-quar-
tiers pole. But the pair stepped the full
mile, from wire to wire, in 2:O511. equaling
the worlds record made by Prince Direct
and Direct Hal two years ago.
Major Delmar and Dan Patch were sched-
uled to go against worlds records, but
their owners refused to start them because
of the high wind which was blowing down
the home stretch, and the fact that this
wind prevailed makes the three record
breaking performances of Mr.. Billings
horses all the more remarkable.
Major Delmar, Dan Patch and Charley
Mac will be sent against worlds records
today, provided the conditions are favor
able.
Funston, the heavily-played favorite in
the DOS pace just missed the flag in the
first heat, but won the next two with ease.
The first mile dash went to Tom AK
pool buyers got distinct jolt in the lat
ter race, for many of them had paid fancy

Big List Of Drafted Players.

There will be merry bunch of minor
leaguers on the practice fields in the spring
If the National and American league clubs
that have purchased and drafted recruits
from the minor leagues hold on to all the
talent they secured for the season of 1905.
Up to the time that the drafting rule went
into effect the clubs of the two big leagues
were extremely busy In rounding up talent
by actual purchase, the number of men lift
ed from the minors by this process being
1O4. this number being about equally divided
between the National and American
leagues. Then the rafting season opened
and the good work of securing players went
steadily on. When the final day for big
league drafting arrived, it was found that
"a more men had been added to the list of
players secured by the major leagues for
next season. making the total number OF
players lifted by the big fellows from the
minors 16S-an average of about 10 PLAYERS
to team. 1t is safe to say that of these
1853 players there will not be one-ffth able
to hold their own in fast company. 1t is
more than the big league clubs can expect
to average two hgh-class recruits to a
team. This means that more than 1870 of
the 1853 aspirants for big league honors will
find their way back to the minors with
hopes blasted and spirits SO crushed that 1t
will be several seasons before they will
have the courage to aspire to high-class
honors again.

Talking about not having anything to

reminds me of the interesting plan of a
friend Of mine, and one, by the way. who
had an original method of doing almost ev-
erythlng he undertook to do He was in
the habit of getting on sprees and they
were lively events, can assure you. But
when he quit he quit in dead earnest. There
was no middle ground in his case. He did
rot drink to get drunk. He drank for the
fun there was in it. and he could get more
fun out OF the game than any other man
have ever known. But these spreeS did not
come often enough to interfere with his
business plans. However 1 started out to
tell you about his sober life, and not
about the drinking part of his career, eX-
cept as an incident to the story. Drinking
is exciting 1t is most difficult matter, as
a rule, for a man who drinks to find any
thing that will take the place of drinking
because of the excitement of the habit. If
this were an easy task L am sure there
would be less drinking in the world because
it would be easier for men to control the
passion for strong drink, once the passion
finds Judgment in the system. My friend
had solved this problem, and he solved it
in an original way. He would take to dime
novels. He would buy a carload of the
most exciting stories he could find, the very
yellowest of the yeiIow, and whenever you
found him with a lot of these books you
could bet he was in for a long sober SPELL
He would carry one in his pocket all the
time, and whenever the hours began to
drag and the day get dull, you would find
him porting over the book. It's just as ex-
citing he would say, and a whole lot
cheaper than drinking And so it was

element needed to overcome the longing
for drink in the case of the man who once

Base Ball Notes,

Williams and Barry played in almost
every position on the Chicago National
League team during the past season. The
Colts rivaled the Pirates in the matter of
players injured during the year.
Smith, the catcher drafted by Pittsburg
from Charleston. s. c., is brother of one
OF the candidates for governor of South
Carolina. With him it is said to be a long
time between drinks.
Jimmy Ryan says he has under considera-
ton two offers to manage National League
clubs next season.
Harry Lumley of the Brooklyn team who
was the champion home run hitter of the
National League this season, says he will
demand more money from Ned Hanlon next
season before he signs contract to play
with the Trolley Dodgers.
Billy Reidy. who pitched such great ball
for the Louisville club during the last weeks
of the season just closed, has received three
offers from Western clubs to play next
year. Reidy has recovered his speed and
effectiveness and is just as good now as
he was last year.
( Umpire KLEIN will handle an indicator in
the National League next year. He has
the OLoughlin determination, and that is
about half the battle. The Pirates tried to
