Popularity OF Events Determines Placing Of Others on
Card-Gosing OF Pimlico Will Crowd Stalls With
Added Stables-Souvenir Programs Tomorrow.

LAUREL. Nd, Oct. 22.-So popular
have become the army races at Laurel
that Manager Brown has decided 10
have two or three more during the rest
OF the meet. Already two have been
decided. one on the fat at two miles
being taken by Kyrat. and the steepie-
chase yesterday by Knight of Elway.
The army race for tomorrow will
be on the fat and will be at q mile and
half. Among others, o. X, Kyrat,
and Knight OF Elway are entered. and
with these three there is sure to be an
exciting horse race.
Great preparations are being made for
next week at Laurel. When Pimlico
closes on Monday. 1t is expected that
there Will be rush Of horses from the
Hill Top track and the management will
be hard put to stable them all. There
already are about 500 horses at the track

Tomorrow will be ladies' day, In ad-
dftion to the women being admitted free

poned from yesterday will be held The
novelty race demands a fast track no
that the motorcycles and the automo-
the foot runners. A new handicap has
been made, and It Is believed the next
race will be a big success.
The selling handicap featured tomor-
row brings out a small but select field.
Among them Helene. Jacauilana, and
John Reardon loom prominently. All
the races are well filled and should
provide good sport.
The track was slow yesterday, and
this resulted in several betting upsets.
The track dries out very quickly, how
ever. and there should be q moderately
fast track by tomorrow.

One of the most sorrowful individuals
IN this city Is the man who has the
refreshment privilege at Shibe Park.
On Wednesday he put in q supply of
something like 1900 sandwiches, figur-
ing on large crowd arriving early and
ready to fortify itself against hunger.
Ihe nam, cheese, and tongue have re-
mained stored away under the stand,
out they will all have to be tossed away
and others substituted before a resump-
ton of the games.
Numerous offers have been received
from different cities offering large
guarantees for q transfer of the series.
Some are farfetched jests, but many
are serious for one telegram, signed by
the president and secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce, in a middle
Western city, declared 1t had not rained
for three months.
Under the rules OF the National Com
mission. OF course, q transfer would be
impossible, but Connie Mack smiled at
the Western offer. -.
II don't see where that is a recon-
mendation. The fact that It has not
rained for ninety days simply means
that 1t must rain before long" was the
comment of the Athletics leader.

his home in New York State, by the

Imports
and Exports

Atlanta, Ga, April 20.-Fie.
ures complied by the Southern
Railway Company from the re.
ports OF the United States Blu
reau of Statistics, Department
of Commerce and Labor, on
imports and exports during the
calendar year 1910, show that
the total value of exports from
the United States to the Latin
American countries amounted
to $27s. 2s7, 557, an increase OF
842, 737 .943, or 1871 per cent.
over the year 1909.
These figures serve to EN-.
phasize the Importance of the
Latin American and OF direct
steamship communication by
our Southern ports.
That the value of these
markets is attracting the atten
ton of our Canadian neighbors
is indicated by II report of the
Argentine consul in Canada
that steamship line is to be
inaugurated between Canadian
ports and Buenos Ayres.
