HARROUN WINS
 AT MOTORDROME

Playa del Key, Cal, April 16.-The feat ure of today's racing at the Los Angeler motordrome was the running of the first heat of the Bragg match race, which was put on to replace the OldfieldDePalm race, declared off on account of the dis abied condition of the 100-horse power Fiat racer. The distance was two miles, standing start. Bragg won by a good margin. The second and third heats will be run tomorrow.
 The second feature was the two-hour free-for-all stock chassis race. This brought out eight starters and at the end of the time four were still on the track. The Marmon. driven by Harroun. won. covering 14s miles. The Fiat was second with 40 miles and the Stoddard- Dayton was third with 1s7 miles.
 Harroun did not stop once during the two hours run. At the end of the first 15 minutes running the Marmon was slightly in the van In the nineteenth mile. Oldfeld in Knox was second and Liv- inaston in a Stoddard- Dayton was third. Oldfleld took the lead in the twenty-first mile, but was forced to stop in the twen- eighth mile to mend tire, and the Mar mon moved to first place. Thirty min utes of racing found the Marmon still showing the way, with the Stoddard- Day ton second. At the end of the first hour Harroun had covered "A miles. The Fiat with DePalma driving had stopped in the twenty-ffth mile for tire trouble, but by fast running again he moved into sec ord place with 70 miles. Oldfield went out In the twepty-eiyhth mile. Oldfeld With the Knox defeated DePalma in his Fiat in 10 miles for the stock chassis race. and Nikrent in Buick beat Harroun' s Msrmon in the five-mie event.

BARONS ON THE TIES TONIGHT

vengeance-something he badly needs. Tuesday night the Barons go to New Or leans, where they open four-game series the following afternoon. Twelve games, 1t is seen, are to be played on the first road trip. At the conclusion of two weeks the Barons will return to Birmingham and will receive in succession Mobile and New Orleans.
 The Baronial reverses at the hands of Montgomery somewhat dampened the ar dour of the dyed-in-t -the-wool fan. Much was expected because Molesworth's men had handled the big leaguers without serious trouble It was forgotten that Cy Young In the spring Is easier of solution than Willie Soft in the regular season Manager Molesworth and those whc are overlooking the destinies of the club were disappointed, too. They are not down in the mouth however. Molesworth believes his team is able to cope successfully with the other teams of the league. Sev- eral of the directors are equally as san guine Others declare that they do not know, but these are not troubled because they realize that stronger players can be obtained If the ones on the list today are not strong enough.
 The association seems to be in earnest The finest spirit prevails. The teams of the big leagues will cut down to a men by May 15. Then the country will be flooded with good performers.
 It Is not the time to despair. One swal- low, 1t is said does not make a summer Neither do two.

BY C. k. VAN LOAN

either one of the big fellows gets a swift bat in the nose it will be fight without the slightest thought of moving pictures or the almighty dollar or any hing else. That's human nature.
 But MT. Berger has made another silly thunder into which he had been betrayed by his desire to snatch every penny in sight, and unfortunately this is mistake W hich must hurt big, good-natured, easy going Jim Jeffries.
 Berger has announced himself that be- ginning as soon as Jeff goes to work at Rowardennan, he (Berger) will install a news bureau in order to furnish the news papers of the country with "exclusive and valuable information" The startling thing about this naive press agent proposal is that Mir. Berger wants the newspapers to pay for the privilege of boosting the fight.
 But read Sammy's letter and draw your own conclusions:
 "To the Sporting Editor:
 Within a week, fortnight at latest, James J. Jeffries will have settled down to his California training camp. Immedi- ately thereafter I will begin furnishing the press of the United States with daily and weekly letters (mail and telegraphic) GOV ering his training campaign.
 ''I will have had established in the camp an exclusive and official photographer to take photos of my charge, his trainers and distinguished visitors as they arrive.
 "It is needless for me to impress upon you the value of data which will be at m.- command. Assisting me will be a competent corps of writers, artists and photographers, and if you care to handle the matter be good enough to advise me. My rates will be your rates per column.
 An early reply will be appreciated. Yours very truly, SAM BERGER"

New York, April 16.-A long time ago Jim Jeffries dumped the pilot into the discard. No glame attaches to Jim for this move; he thought he was through fighting for keeps and because of an un- fortunate misunderstanding, probably sin csrely regretted by both men, Jeff and Filly Delaney drifted apart.
 Then Jeff sat still and allowed Sam Berger to wish himself into position as manager Sam did not care to be billed as a sparring partner, which he was, and set himself to work out of the meek and lowily position of human punching bag. He succeeded, for Sam is a bright young man of light and pleasing personality.
 First he was a sparring partner then he announced himself ''pugiistic repre- sentative" after which he took heart and became full-blown manager.
 Whatever they may say about me" said wise Sammy, before packing up the trunk and departing for the west after the articles were signed, they have to admit that I have got lot of money for Jeff which he wouldn't have picked up any other way"
 Sans ideas run to money. Money is a good thing and it makes the mare go. Ii makes the fighters fight It furnishes the primary reason for this big fight which is coming. but it Is an unwise thing to make the money end the big over towering end, and by playing hard upon the almighty dollar in all its connections with this fight and its promotion, nothing but harm can result.
 We want to believe If we can, that Jeff and Johnson are going to fight like pair of Turks and that the winning of the fight is to be the main consideration. It Is the safest bet in the world that after

SAM BERGER ON THE GRDDLE:
 MONEY LOVER IS THE CHA RGE

1 ers, distinguished sports as they come 10 camp and yours truly, s. B..
 This Is remarkable communication in several respects chiefly because of the bland assurance of the very young man who writes 1t. If Berger had any experl- enco he would realize that the newspapers arc not in the habit of paying for press agent stories, though they sometimes take them If the press agents crawls into the city editors office on his stoma oh ana shows q proper spirit of humility. Coffroth, McCarey and other big pro- motors hire press agents whose business l. Is to dish up all the live news in at tractive shape which is given to all the papers in the territory affected by the coming attraction, and if some of the papers print the stories Coffroth and Me- Carey are deeply gratifed.
 Yet here we have young Berger, hab- erdasher suddenly hoisted to dizzy height by his association with a great fighter, coolly offering to furnish press agent stuff provided he Is paid for the tame. A wiser man than Berger could not get away with a thing of this sort, and it can have but one effect, to create hostile sentiment against the man whom Berger is mismanaging.
 It Is all right to go after the money be- cause money Is a nice kind of thing to have around the house. but there is limit in gathering the weed which grows at Washington, and 1t is an unsafe thing to antagonize the big news- gathering con- cerns of the country. Berger can afford to keep his itching fingers out of the new spaper game in so far as the gathering of money is concerned. This last break Is cheap and cheeky trick which must fail because of the antagonism 1t Is bound to ieate The sooner Jim Jeffries declares that he had no part in this arrangement the better 1t will be for him, for Richard, Gleason and every one else interested In the success of the fight.

Atlanta. April 16-(Special)-The Atlanta team. IT strong, will descend On Nashville Monday morning and will make the effort of their giddy career 10 win about three out of the first four games of their first road trip.
 The Cracker team which appears in Nashville will be. with little pruning, the identical team that will play for the Crackers through the coming sea son.
 Sid Smith and Harry Matthews will te behind the bat to the wind-up. Smith is determined to go back to the big leagues as a result of this seasons play and he's going better than ever tefore in his career Matthews Is the same old Matty-no great hitter or baserunner. but a wonderfully steady catcher, man with good CD wing and an unequalled ability to develop good pitchers.
 The Atlanta box candidates are not worked out completely as yet, but n couple of them are certainties-Ton Fisher and Harry Johns. Johns fin ished first among Southern pitchers last year and Fisher second. They are seasoned performers, strong men and facy can pitch till the cows come home. Johns seems to have conquered that fatal gift of wildness" that use 10 keep him in hot water in the eariy cays of his Southern league career. and promises to be marvelously ef- fective this season. Bartley. who lead the Southern league pitchers so long and so brilliantly last season, may or may not be with the Crackers when the final chopping has been made q matter of history. The Crackers want him, all right but he is a high-priceI man and so are Johns and Fisher. And too many high-priced men spoil the pay roll this year. Rogers, Griffin ard Mayer round out the present staff Mayer will probably be used in one Of the Nashville games. And he iB not entirely unknown to Nashville fans for hc has pitched most effectively for Tech against Vanderbilt in past yes..s He is a slight, skinny chap and his line physique has won for him the title of Scissors" And with it all he is cutter" at the pitching game and can make the very best of them hustle. No better college pitcher mas brok en into the Southern league since tn 2 historic days of Weldon Henley.
 Jordan plans to bring his 1 who.o stable of first basemen along-Barr Sweeney and Hohnhorst These three men are neck and neck In the race for the place and Nashville will have q chance of seeing two or three oi tn em work. The rest of the infield will te the old combination of Sentell, Jor- can and Walker. And they don't make better fielding aggregation.

As has been announced before, pr. J.. w. H.

He achieved brilliant success at Alabama, both in football and baseball, among the other teams of the S. I. A. A.. and like wise at Union university, Lehigh, Uni versity of Rochester and the other insti- tutions with which he has been con- nected.
 In addition to Captain Waddell, about 20 of the best men of the 1909 squad are expected to return again next fall. among the number being Earwood, Barnard, Sims, Burke, Brown. OQuinn, Ordeman. Hyde, Satterfield Smith. Dulin, Lewis, Engleby, Hoyle, JAlonick, Efrd Peters, M Brown and Ainsworth.

AVERAGES OF PITCHERS
 HAVE VARIED LITTLE

New York. January 16-Comparisons of the records of the National and American league pitchers made since 1871 show that the pitching has at all times kept pace With the increased speed of the game. The percentage of pitchers victories have averaged about the same as when organ ized baseball was in its infancy.
 The records of the pitchers from 1871 to the close of the season of 1908 are shown by the following table:
