RACE SYSTEM
 ALWAYS WINS
New York Flooded With Circulars Advertising
 Systematic Pool
By ROBERT ID. .LUSK fBy leased wire f0 Age -Heraldl ]

NEW YORK, July 27.-In these days of necessary economies even the | sport of kings has become systema- tized. Whereas old King Charles would have sportingly placed 10 farth- ings six-pence on fide-a-cock-horse to win the fifth race at Danberry Cross, | the present day racing scientist would say, Charley, you are all wet. The old mule may win but what does 1t net you? Play a system, my boy it's the only way to win"
 Not only would the scientific follow CT of the ponies tell the old English man this but he would sit down and prove 1t to him, unless his majesty could intercept him with one about an important meeting of the privy coun- cil.
 One of these modern racing men, the product of the highly efficient age, is now blanketing New York with circu- lars which tell what a fool the person is who bets on horses in the old-fash- toned hit-and-miss method without the aid of his system, which he guarantees will produce AS per cent week on the capital invested.
 The circulars have produced quite a stir among the young bloods of the me- tropolis but so far, according to the scientist" they have failed to bring in any subscribers.
 Americans Suckers Americans are bunch of suck ers," the old man growlingly re-ochos P. T. Barnum's business axiom. "They will buy millions of dollars worth of fraudulent securities each year which are glowingly offered them with the promise that they will be millionaires in few short months, but when tell them that I can show them how to make $1,200 a week, without any chances, they say that it is too good to be true and then go back and bet the same old way"
 'Even the staid old, conservative business man is a gambler when he gets to the race track" complains the man with the system.
 For years the old man worked for Lloyd's, the great London insurance firm. He helped to discover what the risk on vessels carrying cotton is com pared with a ship with a cargo of wheat, and just how much premium is required so that the insurance com. pany can gamble and always win. For the last three years he has been work.

ATLANTA FEATURES 2 WEEK M SOUTHERN
Crackers Spurt And Dust Pelicans From Seconc
 Place By Winning Nine Games

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 27-Roll- ing up nine victories in a week, with no defeats, the Atlanta Crackers have busted New Orleans from second place in the Southern association standing.
 Five of the Crackers wins were at the expense of New Orleans, and Mem phis, in first place, really benefited by sthe spirited battle between its two chief rivals for leadership. Memphis won six out of eight games played, including today's, and now leads the league by margin of over seven full games, whereas, a week ako, the margin was anly four and one-half games.
 " Spectacular Play
 Atlanta victories were won by spec tacular play on both offense and de- fense. They led in scoring runs, in fielding and in preventing opponents from scoring. The Crackers scored 59 times in the eight games;- including Sat urday's, hit safely S5 times in that period, made but seven errors and held opponents to % runs.
 New Orleans, in eight games, includ- ing Saturdays won two and lost six. the heretofore air-tight Pelican defense did not stand up as we'll as the effense during the week. New Orleans made 47 runs on 84 hits in the eight games but allowed opponents to score AS times and Pelican fielders made IA errors.
 Chicks Play Well
 Memphis, in seven games, including Saturdays, hit safely 77 times, scored @ runs, made seven erors and held opponents to 26 runs.
 Nashville led the league in total hits, with 87 in eight games. The Vols won five out of eight, including Saturdays. Mobile, Chattanooga, Birmingham and Little Rock lost points during the week. E An outstanding feature waS~1ne ter rife hitting throughout the league with the exception of Little Rock, no team made fewer than 75 hits during the weeks play. The Travellers hit safely 56 times, excluding today's game. In the hits were nineteen home runs. At 1anta, Memphis, Nashville, Mobile, Chattanooga and Birmingham got three each.
 Atlanta Beaten On Rule
 > An unusual feature of the week was the fact that six innings played by New Orleans on the second game of their double-header Saturday is not to be counted. The Woodward resolution now in effect in the league, requiring that. second games in double-headers shall go fully seven innings and all other games nine innings, was inter preted by President John D. Martin as requiring also that the uncompleted
