Brooklyn 12. St. Louis 6. St Louis, Sept 24. Brooklyn defeated St.

Louis today in a free-hitting fame. 12 to 6. Today's game was the fifteenth straight defeat of the St. Louis "am. Score: 1 St.

Louis The Sunny South Not a Good Place For Atlilrtes. Joe Casey, the former Hartford catcher who blew into town at an hour when all honest men were supposed to be abed, was seen at Long's at 11 o'clock yesterday morning and told of some of his experiences in Arkansaw. "Harry Noyes and I do not care fof any more of that hundred and 'steen Fahrenheit thing," said the little backstop, "and he says he is not going back. I. am to join the Tigers in Boston on Tuesday and am thankful to get a chance with the big show.

It as all right for Hogan Yancey, who was brought up In the yama yama land, but us Connecticut -and Massachusetts Yanks do not prosper where the simoons blow across the diamond. I lost ten pounds in the South and Harry Noyes lost twenty. He suffered more from the heat than I did and it accounted for the drop he took with the stick. Harry put up a beautiful fielding game but he was some shy with the clout stuff. "You know how you take a trolley ride here in the summer to get a whiff of the breezes and cool off, well, down there, when you take a trolley ride, you have to hold your hand in front of your face to ward oft the hot winds.

It is too hot at night to sleep and all you can do is sweat. The ball players who go to sleep on the bases must have originally played down South. There is one advantage down there for the players and that Is that they do not have the paprika conversation hurled at them from the bleachers the way they do up here. They will not stand for the line of talk that is handed out up this way. Call a man a bad name down there and you look into one of those things that are worked with a hair trigger.

"Those moonshine distilleries ate a good thing to keep away from, oo. Over in Tennessee, you can get in speaking distance of one without an escort of militia but in Arkansaw, In those mountain retreats, it is not safa to do any scouting. I did not know the world held so many black people. They have stands set apart for the dinges and they never give any trouble. There is not very much excitement at the games.

When the leaders played there was plenty of enthusiasm, but our team was too far behind to stir up much of the hot stuff. The colored people are loyal fans and support the home teams in good shape. A good many people think that in the Southwest, the players go out on the field with a glove in one pocket and a six-shooter in the other, but this is not so and I never saw any signs of gunplay down there. "Yancey came to Birmingham late in the season and put up a good game. He says this is his last season in the game as he Intends to practice law.

He is coaching a football team in Rochester and later will go to Lexington and open a law office. When he gets the run of the thing he may move to New York state and go into law there. He says he does not believe in mixing Blackstone and baseball and the game will surely lose a fine player. Harry Noyes, Yancy and I got to gether some times and talked over the previous season in the Connecticut and that grand evening that we had at the Venetian waa sure to crop up in the conversation. "I was glad that Hartford copped the pennant this year.

The papers made a little mistake about me when I left at the close of last season. It was said that Tom Dowd bought me an overcoat. I happened to buy that myself and It was regarded as the hottest coat that ever went out of Hartford. I understand that Hack has got me beaten now, for he got a $55 coat at Warner Bailey's with stripes three Inches wide and which makes him look like George Primrose of the Primrose West days. "TJiere Is another thine.

I under stand that the Hartford people are as worked up in regard to the merits of Gardner and Wanner as they are over the Cook and Peary controversy. Accept it from me that Gardner is the better man. I saw a whole lot of second basemen go from our league up to the majors and Earl Gardner had it on every one. When you see Earl play the bag, you have seen it all. I leave for Wakefield tomorrow morning and will stay there until I go to Boston on Tuesday.

I -was glad to hear of the success of an old Wakefield boy, Arthur Magee, In the box. He used to work in the baby carriage factory tip there and could pitch some then. Sorry I won't have time to go over to South Manchester, as I would like to show the good people there some of the latest styles. Jack O'Connor, my manager this season, is to be at the helm in St Louis next season and if Detroit passes me up, I may catch on with Jack. I am sorry that I did not run across Tom Connery and personally congratulate him upon his success." CONSIDER AUTO LAW CLASS LEGISLATION.

Conn. Anto Aninolatlon tin Test Xtu Con-titutlouallty. Fifteen directors of the Connecticut Automobile Association, representing every automobile club of the state, met In the rooms of the Automobile Club of New Haven on Temple street In sthat city Wednesday evening, and voted unanimously for some test as to the constitutionality of the taxation clause In the new automobile law. An eminent constitutional lawyer will be employed by the association, who will examine ana render an opinion as to me taxation clause, as well as in regard to cer tain other provisions of the law to which the motorists object. As soon as the lawyer gives his opinion the legislative committee of the association will call another meeting of the directors and formally present the verdict.

Considerable feeling was ex pressed by those present at the meeting concerning the law, and especially the taxation clause which was called class legislation In no uncertain terms. As the law now stands a registration fee of 50 cents per horsepower for every car of twenty-five horsepower, and 60 cents for every car of more than twenty-five horsepower makes a sixty horsepower car, for Instance, cost $36 a year tor a registration fee.

Coach McLean arrived Wednesday night and rather hard signal practico and a short scrimmage were the order for the day, after which the squad took a short run and wont in.

The prospect for a fast, heavy and strong team Is exceptionally good this fall. Of the '08 team there are several good men back this year. Mac-Donough and Storrs, both ends, are back.

For guards, Alnsworth, from Waterbury, Stockwell from Cushlng Academy, Sharpe from Willimantlc, and 1'ierpont from Waterbury. For tackles. Burr, who played on the '07 team, Clark of Granby, Gibb Storrs, formerly of Dean.

Candidates for quarter aro Botsford, Brundage, Cone of Middle-town, and it Is expected that Brown-low from Danbury will arrive next week. Besides these there are many new men who may make good later. Altogether the prospects are far brighter this fall than for many seasons past. Manager Erwln H. Forbush has prepared the following schedule, which, with one or two additions will constitute the season's work.

Manager Forbush played right-half last year but does not expect to go out this fall: September 25 Springfield Training School at Springfield. October 2 Cushlng Academy at Ashburnham. October 9 Fort MIchle, N. at Storrs. October 16 Holy Cross Preparatory at Storrs.

Oetober 23 Open. October 30 Open. November 6. Trinity at Hartford. November 13 Boston College at Storrs.

After the pole was given to Alice Roosevelt. Baron May got started from the outside and went fairly well to the last turn when he made a wild break and ran home. The Judges, however, declined to distance him. Demerest, which took a record of 2:08 in winning this heat, was able to beat oft Baron May in the third mile. In the fourth heat Baron Mav lost his chance with a break at the head of the stretch and this time was distanced for running.

uarky Hal. first choice for the 2:05 pace, won, though she took but the first heat She seemed to have the second won when Dan was lifted out of the ruck, winning by a length. In the third heat Dan broke in the stretch. Brcnda Yorke and Red Bow both beat Darky Hal in the final rush Paderewski sold at 1100 and 140 over the field of 2:07 trotters and won an Impressive race.
