YACHT RACE WILL
BE RUN THIS WEEK

Marblehead, Mass, August Three
American defenders of the President and
Governor Draper cups against the Span
ish yachting invaders now approaching
these shores armed with Sender boats
will be selected by the Eastern Yacht
club. The elimination trials in which IA
yachts representing six yacht clubs will
compete will begin tomorrow off Marble
head rock and will probably run through
the week
After the Vim had successfully de-
Tended the Roosevelt cup against the
Germans in 1908, three American boats
went to Kiel the following year and were
defeated for the Emperor William cup.
On the way home the American yachtmen
stopped for few weeks in Spain where
Sender yachts were just coming into
fashion and the International series at
San Sebastian and Bilboa aroused 20
much attention that three boats are now
on their way across the water for a re-

WILL ATTEMPT
TO LOWER RECORD

New York, August &c. K. G. Billings.
owner of Lou Dillon, has gone to
Cleveland to drive his trotter. Uhlan, "a
2;O2A trotter, at the opening Of the Grand
circuit meet there tomorrow in an at
tempt to lower the record Of the world
to wagon without the aid Of wind
shield. The record Is 2:03% made by
Major Delmar In 1903.
Mr.. Billings recently drove UhHn
mile to wagon In 202z. but the per-
Torrance was made at an amateur meet
ing and was not a technical record. He
trotted a mile to a sulky in 20O1s, which
is faster than any other horse has ever
shown in public or private without Q
wind shield. Mr.. Billings has arranged
to bring the horse east after his Cleve-
land engagement and 1t is expected he
will try to beat the worlds record to
sulky during the New York Grand circuit
meet August 1877 at the Empire CITY
track.

THF SEASONS REVIEW

With the Southern league race nearing
the home stretch. one finds both New
Orleans and Atlanta playing pennant-win-
ming ball.
New Orleans seems determined to win
the rag, and the Peicans are strong
favorites. At that, 1t would surprise none
were New Orleans and Atlanta separated
when the period of armistice arrives by
the margin of single game.
Were Birmingham to cop every game
of the series beginning today, Atlanta and
New Orleans would be brought rather
close together, and Birmingham would
be within striking distance of both of
them.
It is practically certain that New Or
leans, Atlanta and Birmingham will close
in one, two, three positions.
Nashville, Montgomery and Mobile are
hopelessly out of the hunt Though Mo-
bile is playing finely at the present time,
the start for greener pastures was made
too late. Montgomery and Nashville are
playing very poorly.
Memphis is coming strong, and is now
tied with Chattanooga for fourth place
in the standing, and the lowest lap In the
first division. 1t begins to appear that
the Memphii will close the race a nose
ahead of the Lookouts, though If history
repeats itself, Memphis, after playing
finely for a week, might play raggedly
the following.
good one, and 1t is possible there will be
some excitement before September II.
In spite of scribe speculation, Connie
Mack has apparently sailed down the
cheesecloth of the American league. Bos-
ton will never down the Athletics, it
seems, and Detroit is too far behind. New
York, as in other seasons, after having
made a fine beginning, is slumping at the
eleventh hour.
Cleveland, Washington, st. Louis and
Chicago are as hopeless as was the de-
votion of the lady of Shalott.
Cincinnati has dropped out of the chase
in the National circuit. Philadelphia is
playing splendidy at the present time.

New Orleans Wins Two

New Orleans, August 7.-Timely hit
ting won two games for New Orleans
today over Montgomery the scores being
to and 8 to !, respectively. In the
first game both pitchers were invincible
until the last inning when all the runs
we're scored The home team hitters
did better than the visitors. Joseph
Pepe broke his leg sliding INTO second
base in the third inning and will be out
of the game for the rest of the season.
Pitcher Thomas was hit freely in the
second game, while Paige worked splen-
didly. Butchers home run was respon-
sible for two Of New Orleans runs. Oc-
easional showers made the ball hard to
handle. The field was sea of mud.

Memphis, Tenn. August 7.-Special.)-
Manager Jordan believes Atlanta can
win a second pennant in succession
thereby equaling the feats of the Mem
phis champions in 1903 and 1904 and the
Nashville champions of 1901 and 1902, rec
ords which stand as the only sequential
souvenirs of pennant successes In Dixie
since the present league was launched,
although the Georgians lost to Memphis
today after winning IL out of a dozen
games.
New Orleans always takes a slump
at this stage and they are due right now
to slide downwards," said Manager Otto.
