New York, Aug 25.-Racing will be resumed tomorrow on the Metropolitan Tracks with the Futurity. the great g. year old stake. as the feature at Sheeps- head Bay. Seventeen horses have been named for the event. which will be run over a heavy track, a steady rain during most of the day having turned the six furlongs of the course into stretch Of mud.
 The futuri.y is the goal toward which the ambition of every horseman points and around which cluster the best tra- ditions of the American turf. Rich in money, being worth over $50, 900. and in memories extending as far back as the great struggle in which Proctor Knott came home q scant winner over the great Salvador, there is more Tor the winner of a futurity than any Of the other prizes offered by the Ameri- can racing associations. The Futurity has always been close race, but, Tn All the years of It's running. horseman agree that the ficld which will face the started tomorrow is about the most evenly divided and most puzzling they have ever been called upon to judge
 Last year the public pinned It's hopes to the Keene colt. Sysouby, now the ac- knowledged champion Swear -old, put the public was not acquainted with the quality of the Whitney Ally, Artful, ana Sysonby went down to his only defeat
 Last years Futurity having developed two such horses as Sysonby and Art. ful. turf followers are looking forward to tomorrow's race with confidence. The 2-year-old feature has rarely been won by bad horse. Domino, Potomac, But

 While there is general disappointment that Harry Payne Whitney's colt.

Neil. a farmer who resides three miles from the city, was held up in his orchard yesterday afternoon by Jim Robertson and Mary Garth. a negro man and woman, and robbed of all the money In his pockts. amounting to about S45. The robbery was planned with deliberation, evidently. and was carried of without a hitch. Mir. Neil Is quite an old man and the combined attack of the man and woman was to much for him to fight against. The negroes had been discharged by MT. Neil and they returned to his place and found him alone working in his or chard They offered to begin work again and the old man told them to go ahead While he was bending over sack of apples the woman grabbed him by his head and the man set upon him from behind. MT. Neal broke away and Robinson started after him with a razor which was knocked out of his hand with a stone. The old man was grabbed from behind again and the man grabbed hisA money. both making ofE together and leaving Mir. Neil in an exhauted condition.

Inadvertently Mullaney was given too many times at bat in his last bat, ting averages. His times at bat in the averages appeared as ss4 when It should have been 304. This makes ms batting average .23o instead of POS.
 There was not much hitting durlnB the three games.

 Mccoy Is doing some great work. an average of six hits game having been on balls a game, nearly five strike-ou and winning four of the six. An aver age of eight hits a game have been ! tion over two bases on balls a game. struck out exactly, three men game and won nine of the fourteen.

 Hurrah for Montgomery! Con on, Durrett, The fans here are pulling for the Pretzels and would like to see them wind up at second place. As has been stated on several occasions. Mont gomery has decidedly the best team in the East and the best in the league with the possible exception of New Or leans.-Bfrmingham Ledger.
 Some baseball experts, particularly those employed on the newspapers of New York and Chicago, proress to find a difficulty in understanding how the Athletics manage to hold first place in the American League race, says The Philadelphia North American.
 These carpers take the names of the men who make up the local team. com pare them with the stars who com pose Cleveland, Chicago, New York, 1t a hopeless riddle. According to their argument, the Athletics have no right to a look-in., are second-class. ter than the head of the second di- vision.
 Incidentally. 1t may be mentioned that pennants are not landed on form. The number of games won and lost has much greater bearing in deciding the championship.
 But if the inquirers really wanted to find out just wherein lay the mys- terious power that enables the Ath- letics to beat out teams with pay rolls nearly twice the size. they might Mack, or. to be accurate, even at the expense of prodigal waste of space, Cornelius Magillicuddy.
 In possessing this wizards services 1 the Athletics enjoy an inestimable ad- vantage over all their opponents. The American League has no manager who classes with him in baseball brains. To compare Jones, LaJoie, Clarke Grif- fifth, Armour, Collins. McAleer or Stahl with our own Connie Is to perpetuate joke. He knows more about hand 1 ling a ball team and getting results out of 1t than the bunch put together. 
 Life on the diamond is evanescent Very few of the players who a dozen years ago were idolized by the tickle 1 fan are among the proressionals to- day.
