SPECTACULAR RACE
 AT GRAVESEND

New York, September 25.-A duel of speed stamina greeted the crowd at the finish of the Prospect handicap at Gravesend today when Grasmere. one of James R. Keene's stars went over the line on even terms with Thomas Mona hans Pretend. Dead heats have cropped out now and then but this was the most spectacular witnessed in years. The handicap was worth s1500 to the winner and was a short slx-furlong route. Eight very classy youngsters started Grasmera was favorite at to l, while Pretend went to the past at to 1.
 When the barrier rose Butwell sent Grasmere to the front and had a lead of two lengths when he passed the eighth pole. shannon was running second with Pretend lapped on his saddle. In the next furlong Grasmere gained another length and Pretend wrested second place from Shannon. They retained these positions around the far turn, but at the head of the stretch the strain began to tell on Grasmere and Dugan, noticing this, start ed for the leader.
 Whipping and spurring. he slowly crept upon the tiring Grasmere, and 10 yards from the wire was an eyelash in the rear Two jumps from the deciding line Dugan made a last effort and gained his point It was a great race and will not be for gotten for many days.

GRASSELLI WINS
 FROM BESSEMER Poor Support Given fancher Is
 Mainly Responsible HILL IS VERY EFFECTIVE Grasselli Scores Five Runs In the Fourth Inning and After That
 Bessemer Fails to Play
 With Any Spirit.
HILL IS VERY EFFECTIVE

Grasselli turned the tables on Bessemer yesterday afternoon and won the third game of the series by score of to 3. The Grasselli boys had their batting clothes on and. coupled with poor support accord. ed Fancher, spelt defeat for the crack Bessemer pitcher. Hill, in the box for Grasselli, was very effectice with men on bases and pitched a good game. Some sensational plays were made by members of both teams, the running catch of Craig of the long fly off the bat of Askew, and the long running catch of Lacey were especially noticeable.
 Bessemer was seriously handicapped by the absence of McEniry from second, on account of two badly swollen thumbs. This necessitated the playing of Houston at second and Sikes at first. Fancher was steady for the first three innings and the Grasselli batters were unable to push-a man across the pan In the fourth, however, the entire team went into the air and the GrasselH men scored five before they were stopped.
 This is the way it happened: Farrow, first up. went out short to first; J. Ham, ilton flew to center and Randall muffed the ball; A. Hamilton hit to the third baseman and both were safe; Hill was walked; Askew was walked, forcing in a run s. Hamilton hit to the third base man, who threw badly to the plate, Ham, ilton and Hill scoring. Brown struck out: Perkins was safe on an error by Sikes; tAskew and Hamilton scoring Lacey hit Ito right field, scoring Hamilton. Perkins stole second and went out in an attempt to steal third
 After this inning the game was a farce the Bessemer pitcher being batted at will and the team being up in the air. While the loss of yesterday'c game puts damper on the Bessemer rooters their confidence in the ability of the home team to take one of the remaining two games Is un- shaken. The game was called at the end Of the eighth inning. R.H .E. BeSSeneF ...-....s.........o 1pV W-o Erasselu ...............00O 900 512 Oo-S B 2

who for the past three seasons has been one of the most faithful and hard working scrubs, and Bumgartner, a new man here, but an old head at the pigskin game. Captain Pratt was put at quarter, where, if he is continued, he will make a very valuable man on account of his speed, his aggressiveness, his easy handling of the ball and his booting DOW CT. Harsh, VandeGraaff and Palmer were at half, full and right half respectively. All in all, a light team but very fast one.
 Opposed to the first team were Lock- wood, center, a 230-pounder. who has scrubbed for two seasons and who. with his bulk, covers great deal of ground. On either side of him Miller rather husky new man, and Findley, of last years freshman eleven, stopped up the cracks. The tackles were looked after by Garrett and Johnston, who have had several seasons experience on class teams. On the ends were Moffett and Carter. Nathan. new man, who played quarter on his preparatory school eleven directed operations, while Hayslette Streit former Birmingham High school star, and Cammack gave thme varsity line and ends plenty to do in stopping their rushes. There are men in this bunch who will no doubt make the present varsity players keep on their toes in order to hold their places throughout the season.
 Practically these same two elevens lined up against each other on Friday and Saturday afternoons and furnished sport that kept the interest of the spectators at high pitch. And the same men will be furnished with daily improvements throughout most of next week until just before the pie is opened next Saturday. when the eleven of Union university will trot out to line up against the varsity.

Chattanooga, September 25.-Chatta- | nooga won the baseball championship of Dixie today by defeating Atlanta in the second game of todays doubleheader. At lanta won the first game to l, and that gave each team two games. For the game which was to decide the cham pionship of the southland Chattanooga sent Jim Baskette, local boy, into the box, and he held the Crackers down to two hits and no scores.
 In the second inning every Chatta- nooga player batted, one of them twice, and the locals tallied four times. After Atlantas half of the sixth the game was called. when the score stood 4 to 0. to permit Atlanta to catch a train, accord ing to previous agreement.
 Up till the seventh inning of the first game the score was l and l. Then an error. base on balls and hit gave At lanta two scores. Gaston got Into dis pute with Rudderham over a decision and struck him on the head several times when, as he claims, the indicator called him vile name.
 Gaston was ordered out of the game by Umpire Collins, and Leard, the local util- ity man, took his place.
 Conservative estimates on the crowd placed the number at 5000
 Tonight the Chattanooga team is at tending a banquet in their honor, to which all the players and officers of the Sally" league and the Atlanta team, as well as the commission having the Atlanta-Chat- tanooga series in charge, have been in- vited.

 After ten days or more spent in get tlng into condition and learning the rudhnents of the game the men were called on for their first scrimmaging Thursday afternoon. The skirmish was brief, not lasting over 10 or 15 minutes and the plays were very simple, but there was tinge of real football about It all, for the men put on the varsity were trying to make a good impression at the outset and make their places se- cure, while the scrubs were exertine themselves just as hard to show that there was varsity material in their ranks. Again on Friday and Saturday after moons there were brushes between the hrst and second teams with the conflict little longer and the plays more stub born each day.
 On Friday afternoon the tentative varsity lined up with veteran Countess at the center and on either side of him Greene and Lumley Gresham was back In his old place at tackle working as hard as ever and Arant, last years speedy guard, was his running mate The Hanks were entrusted to Wilkinson, a senior.
