PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL.

Only one short week ago the baseball fans
were figuring that the Highlanders had more
than q fighting chance TO win the American
League pennant. It was pointed out that 500
would probably win. and that the local
team could reach that mark by taking seven out
OF every ten games left to play. The hope was
quickly dispelIed. however, and disaster followed
on the heels Of the prediction, as four games
were lost in startling and disconforting success
sion. The team won Saturday, It is true,
but it failed 10 bring the elation that would
have followed q victory earlier in the week. 1t
must De Z fight now 10 keep in the first division
and possibly earn third place, as Philadelphia
and Chicago viii fight for the honor Of meeting
the Giants for the worlds championship To
Griffith and his band Of baseball warriors great
credit is due for reaching the place the team
now occupies, they have had TO contend
against discouraging odds The team has lost
10 friends in the season of 1905. The Giants are
hardly making a runaway race for the National
League pennant, but only & slump OF the worst
kind would make il possible for Pittsburg 10 be
more than dangerous. The team has only held
It's Owl IN the last week. or, TO be exact, gained
Just one point in percentage. Ptttsburg, on the
contrary gained twenty points, and the critics
are predicting dire results. The Giants have
little 10 fear, however, for the end is at hand
Brooklyn is making desperate fight 10 keep
out Of last place. but it looks as If the team
would earn the BOBBY prize.

RIFLE SHOOTING.

The nation has every reason to be proud Of its
motion Of rife practice, together with the Ma
tional Rife Association of America, which works
in harmony with the national board, should be
highly gratifed at the magnificent success of the
rifle tournament at Sea Girt last week The
tional board for the promotion OF rife practice
was the outcome OF a concerted movement by
handful of enthusiasts who recognized the de-
cadence of the art of shooting in America, duo
to the disappearance of game and the fact that
an incentive must be provided to stimulate pop
ular interest in a sport on which SO much Of the
nations welfare indirectly depends. Basng
their plea the proposition that a soldier on
the firing line is valuable only in proportion to
his ability to hit mis- mark, the friends of rifle
practice-that is to say, practice with the off,
cial military rife of the United States-ohtained
from Congress legislation creating the national
direction Of the War Department, was TO have
charge of rife matches TO be held under the
spices of the United States government. and
open to teams and individuals from the regular
military and naval establishments, the marine
corps and the national guard. The growth OF
popular interest in military rife shooting IN the
last year has been little short of phenomenal
At Sea Girt last week there were Coz entries in
the same contest. Last year nineteen teams en-
tered for the national team match; this year
there were thirty-seven such entries Next year
It is hoped that every State and Territory, in
Guiding Porto Rico and possibly the Philip
pines will be represented. New-York has par

AUTOS" TO RACE TO-DAY.
Course on atlantic City Beach
Promises Fast Time.

Atlantic City. " J. Sept. 3-The beach at
Atlantic City, over which the automobile races
and time trials will be held tomorrow. presented
a lively scene to-day. Scores of touring cars
and some OF the big racing machines that are
entered in the various contests spent the after
noon racing up and down the beach.
The 60-horsepower skeleton Ford racer. which
is expected to do surprising things, attracted
good deal of curiosity, and from the way it
glided over the sand to-day there is every indi-
cation that the record of IS seconds. made by
A. L. Campbell in the S0-horsepower Darracq
car. on the Cape May beach. VII be broken
While it was conceded that the Cape May
course was four seconds slower than the Or
mond-Daytona beach. in Florida. it is admitted
by the drivers of the big cars here who have
raced on the Cape May beach that much faster
time can be made on the sand here.
The stretch selected over which the machines
will race is at South Atlantic, a mile further
down than the end of the boardwalk The course
is about 200 feet wide. allowing nine cars TO line
up comfortably The course stretches about
three miles.
It is expected in view Of the holiday crowd here
that fully fifty thousand people Will watch the
contests tomorrow. The grandstand. built at
the finish, is sixteenth of mile long and will
easily hold FIVE thousand spectators.
Richard K Fox, of New-York, arrived in
35-horsepover touring car to-day and INDUCED
IN lively spins on the course. He had just COM
pleted 5000 mile journey on the road. The
machine, weighing more than 5000 pounds, was
allowed to stand for half an hour on the sand
and It sank only half inch
All the heavy machines that dashed over the
course to-day left hardly any impression on the
sand giving a clear demonstration of its hard
ness. Advantages over the Cape May course are
that the beach is perfectly straight and the
machines are afforded ample room for getting
up speed before reaching the starting line
Frank Kulick who has gained considerable
fame as a driver the track the last few
years will drive the Ford car tomorrow. The
races will begin at p.
