NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The tried
2-year-olds of 1904, and they are
many, are all in the first great race
of the fall campaign on the New
York tracks, the richest event of the
American turf, and the most talked
of race of the year. the Futurity
Stakes, to be run for tomorrow at the
Sheepshead Bay track, as the feature
of the opening of the autumn season.
Notwithstanding all prophecies Of the
summer, and in spite of the general
opinion that keene, with his splendid
colt Sysonby, seems to have the best
the face of the further common belief
that If there is contest it will be
between the Keene and Paget entries,
there has been found to- oppose the
public favorites field of generous
size and one that for class straight
through has been excelled by no Flu
turity field of years gone by, the
fun list of horses named to start
for the great prize numbering nearly
score. and giving promise of a
struggle in every way worthy of the
most valuable event of the American
turf and the most popular fixture
ever devised for horses two years old.
The sum of SCI, $50 is in sight for
the first three horses In tomorrow's
big race. This is the largest sum
ever offered for horse race in this
country, and probably in the world.

GEORGIA ASkS
CHEAPER FARES

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 26.--The rail-
road commission of Georgia held a
meeting today and discussed the mat
ter of calling on the railroads for a
reduction in passenger fares from
to cents mile in this state The
commissioners give as their princi-
pal reason for recommending the re-
duction that the railroads have been
extremely lax in the matter of i'm
provements, especially in the matter
of depots, and that in view of the
inadequate accommodations provided
by the roads for the comfort and ac-
commodation of their passengers the
belief is expressed that cents n
mile is IA sufficiently high rate to
charge for passenger traffic. 1t is en-
pected that the railroads will vigor-
ously protest against the recommeu-
dation of the state commission.

meet Munroe. Jeffries, apparently
took the charge to heart. but whether
he did or not, all the capital possible
has been worked out of the incident.
In a nutshell, the word has gone forth
that tonight's affair of the gloves is
to be "grudge fight" In other
words, not only a battle for the
championship and the money that
goes with it, but scrap for "satis-
faction"
And so it has come to pass that
the spectators tonight expect to wit
ness a fight for blood: one that will
be wicked and vicious, full of ponder
Gus and damaging punches, with one
of the two giants knocked stiff for
the full count.
However much the box office crowd
may have traded on the grudge feat
ure, there is no doubt that Jeffries
has given it some thought, much to
the regret of his trainers. The big
fellow, as usual, was slow in begin
ming to condition himself for the
fight, but was quickly stung into ac-
tivity by renewal of the quitting"
talk. and went to work with a spirit
that BODIED ill for his prospective op-
ponent. Under the watchful eye of

himself with unusual zeal. He devel

some worthless properties, get an
elaborate blue print made and then
go east, armed with samples of ore
from some of the rich properties in
the section in which their ground is
located and sell stock to innocent
easterners. This system has been the
means of preventing the development
of many prospects with excellent
showings.

a champion or dub" Munroe's
body is well-nigh invulnerable, his
stomach and kidneys being armored
with great rock-like muscles, but his
jaws, though thick set and heavy,
can not begin to compare with those
of the champion. The ''dopsters'
never fail to point out the fact that
Sharkey, a shadow of the once great
fighting sailor floored Munroe in the

Munroe that he was when he met

fight knocked out of him. 1t is ar
gued that If a tap from has-been
sends Munroe to the mat for the nine
count, one of Jeffries' terrific jolts
will certainly make him count the
electric lights for ten or more.
Munroe, to sum up his qualifica-
lions, is game as a pebble, has extra
ordinary strength, is fairly fast, does
not shine very brightly as ring gen
eral or boxer, and, lastly, is not the
grand "Queensbury' artist in all that
the term implies that the champion
is. But he has a Chance
The meeting will stand in a niche
of it's own, in that it will be the
first time in the history of the ring
that two men of such great bulk will
engage in a fistic encounter involving
the worlds championship. Munroe

Jeffries was up at his usual hour
and after breakfast he went to the
gymnasium, where the punched the

not at all anxious about the result.
