TOM HUGHES HAS
ONLY WINNING
BEEN
PITCHER
Ex-New York American Has Captured the
Three Victories Copped by Crackers
on Their Present Road Trip.
On Wednesday wftcrnnon the Atlanta
team scored the third victory of the
present road trip. What happened to
the other seven jfnmea we refuse to
say, except that one was forfeited by
the Atlanta team and In the other six
the opposing teams made more runs
than the Crackers,
Strange to relate, Hughes has been
the only pitcher who has won n game,
and he has won all three which he has
pitched. Every other pitcher In the
bunch has lost every one. Even the
Mighty Zellar, the best of the whole
bunch up to the time of the arrival of
Hughes, has faded away twice, once
at the hands of BretlensteJn nnd once
when Phillips was the opposing pitcher.
Atlanta's "lost-by-one-run" luck
•eem* to have gone wrong on the
present trip. The Crackers did lose
one 1-0 game and one 2-0 game In
New Orleans, but the other games
Which went wrong were all lost by
considerable margins.
on the trip thus far Atlanta has
made only 18 runs to her opponents
47. counting the forfeited game as a
S to o affair,, ns It must be counted
unless the league decides otherwise.
Twice on the trip Atlanta has been
shut out, both tlinea by New Orleans,
and once the Crackers applied the
whltewuah to Shreveport.
Atlanta has not been hitting ns well
as her opponents on the trip. During
the nine games, not counting the hits
in the forfeited game, the team has
swatted safely 59 times, or an average
of 6 5-9 to a gome, while her oppo
nents have lilt safely 77 times, or an
average of 8 6-9 to a game. Atlanta
has made 22 errors on the trip, or
nearly two and a half to the game.
The Atlanta team hns three games (n
Little Rock and then It returns homo.
If the team wins oil three the standing
on the road trip will be six won and
seven lost, which will be a good aver
age for a road trip through the West
with a crippled team.
On Monday the Atlanta team opens
at home with Montgomery for three
games. Next follows Birmingham for
three, and then Nashville for the same
number, two of which will be ployed
July 4. •
If all goes well with the team the
night of the Glorious Fourth ought to
see the Crackers pretty well on the
road to the pennant. Tackling the
Eastern teams at home ought to be
the easiest kind of pudding and the
locals ought to pick up enough games
to put them pretty well up toward
the top.

Wednesday morning W. L. Jones, a
private detective, of Atlanta, returned
from New Orleans, where he has been
Investigating, on behalf of the Atlanta
Baseball Association, the charge that
New Orleans players Introduced a
"lively ball" into the game In New Or
leans last Friday. On heurlng the re
port of the detective Chief Joyner,
president of the Atlanta Baseball Asso
ciation, addressed a long letter to Wil
liam Kavanaugh, president of the
Southern League, stating the evidence
which he had secured and demanding
an Immediate and thorough Investiga
tion by the Southern League of the
charges of "dirty work" In New Or
leans.
In the report of Detective Jones he
states that he has found 25 people In
New Orleans who will testify that, In
their opinion, the ball In usb was not
the regulation Reach ball but a "lively
ball' of some character: that he located
a man who claimed to know where
Frank kept his supply of lively balls
but who refused an offer of $20 to se
cure one. He also secured evidence
tending to show that Rlckert Intention
ally ran Into Jordan nnd that he an
nounced before the game that he was
going to put the Atlanta captain out
of business. He also secured evidence
as to the existence of the metal plate
under the catcher's box on the New
Orleans diamond, the object of which
Is said to be to add to the difficulties
of visiting catchers.
CHIEF JOYNER TALKS.
The report of Detective Jones Is one
of great Interest and it proves pretty
conclusively that dirty work of some
kind has been done by the baseball
people of the Crescent City. In speak
ing of the result of Mr. Jones’ Investi
gation, Chief Joyner said: "Jones
found for us that crooked things were
being done In New Orleans. He went
to that city Immediately after that for
feited game and stayed there until
Wednesday. While there he )*osed as
a visitor from Gainesville and talked
with the players on both teams and
with hundreds of spectators at the
game. What he found out will surprise
some of them, 1 guess. He said that
the better class of people In New Or
leans were all down on the present
management and were threatening*to
boycott baseball unless decent methods
were substituted for those now In use.
He said that everybody spoke most
highly of the action of the Atlanta
team and that all of them condemned
Charley Frank for his action In having
Otto Jordan token to police station
In a patrol wagon and herded In with
a lot of common criminals.
"I want President Kavanaugh to
know Just what Jones found out and
In *my letter to him 1 offered to send
Jones over to Little Hrock or to send
his report over there or to do anything
which would get the facts before him.
We have spent considerable money In
going t«> the bottom of this thing and
New Orleans Man Praises
Loyalty of Atlanta Fans
we want a complete investigation by
the league.
THE BALL8 IN EVIDENCE.
Chief Joyner waa disappointed that
Detective Jones failed to secure one of
the lively balli. "I think that we have
one, though, which will do for evidence,”
he said. "Both Secretary Ethridge and
Captain Jordan think that the ball
which the. police are holding In New
Orleans Is the Identical one which Jor
dan tried to secure and which caused
hie arrest. There Is a possible chance
that It nmy not bo the one but we
think and hope that It Is. Both Jor
don and Ethridge wrote their names on
It and unless It was changed right after
Jordan waa arrested then we have the
■lively hall.’
"I hope that the report that Mullaney
found one of those ‘live balls' and
sent It to President Kavanaugh Is true.
If It Is, that evidence will be pretty
strong, added to.what we have secured.
Anyway it Is up to President Kavan
augh and the league now and an In
vestigation Is In order.”
It is certainly President Kavanaugh's
next move.

A TWO-INNING GAM£(?)
The sympathies of the New Orleans
l*Melmll writers have been very mueli
with Atlanta In her recent argument
with the New Orleans l>iisel*aU manage
ment. and the following article, whleh
appeared In a recent number of The
New Orleans Item, clearly shows the
opinion «*f well Informed New Orleans
writers and fans about Atlanta crowd*
and the support they give their home
team:

An interesting eon versa lion came up lu
the press stand at the Imseltall park the
other day when the patrlotltnu of fans In
dlffereut cities lu the Hoiitheru league was
discussed.
Th conversation was prompted by the Im
partiality of th** local audience toward the
locsf team which sometime* went it* fur us
prejudice sgnliiHt the team, lu the Atlanta
series It apjteared to the stranger at Ath
letic park that there was no home team In*
6.000 nt it Kundny game. That's loyalty,
and It Is characteristic of the city. If an
Atlantan spoke III against anything that
related to Atlanta he would la* turret! autl
feathered In tweuty minutes. It's not the
strongest In the lenguc by any means, but
It will likely l*e right there fighting for the
pennant all right."
"Hut the Atlanta team only hns the re
markable streaks on the home grounds,"
tnterrnpted one of the press men.
"And that's where the loyal rooter comes
In." rejoined the operator. "If they didn't
get so lum-h encouragement they wouldn't
win so many games at home and the renult
would la* that the Atlanta temp would

New York, Juno 21.—A big horae race has
the town by the cars today, tor no less than
the Suburban—the most democratic feature
of the season—Is to be run this afternoon at
Hhccpshend. From every walk of the city’s
busy life the famous event Is drawing n tre
mendous attendance, for no other race Is so
popular with All classes as the Huburlian
Handicap. *
Hy trolley, steam car and "L" trains a
veritable army Is moving out toward the
scene of the race, until hy the time the
well-trained and sensitive thoroughbred en
trants parade their sllk-garbcd riders to the
starting post one of Jbe largest assemblages
the world has yet seen will be on hand,
ready to acclaim the winner.
"If the weather stays clear and. fine right
up tq the opening of racing we expect 45,-
000 race-goers down there," declared Rac
ing Secretary Bradford early today. The
Suburban Handicap. Is for 3-yenr olds and
up to 144 miles, with a purse of $20,000, of
fered to .the owners of the first three horses
to finish, rls: $16,000 to the winner, with
$2,500 to the second horse and $1,500 to the
third horse. It will be run as the fourth
event on the program.
Home of the patrlelans of the turf have
won the Suburban Handicap, and perhaps
the most stirring pages In racing lore are
gained from the many reuewnls of the
fixture sine# Its Inception way back In 1884,
when General Mourpe—"Old Glass Eye," ns
the wags In that day called this sterling
campaigner—won It.
However, the prospect of an exciting
struggle nnd the opportunity of lending n
band this afternooii to a real high-class
thoroughbred In :tbn moment of triumph la
remote Indeed, for there are no really first-
class horses engaged In the field, which Is
the smallest In the history of all Suburban
Handicap. Only eleven horses were en
tered over night.
Fronds It. Hitchcock, steward of the
Jockty Club, will probably enjoy the honor
of sending the favorite to the post lu his
Hamburg 4-year-old colt Dandelion, winner
of the Travers stakes at Harntogn Inst sea-
•on and the runner-up to Toknlou, the
fluky 25-to-l shot, winner of th..
Brooklyn handicap. Dsiulelloa hn« not n„ u
many races this year so far, and cunts,
quenfly few penalties have accrued to hti

He knows n price, and he knows n rare

the easy manner In which he won on last
Tuesday.
Africander won a suburban handicap ai
3-yenr-old, and was the only 3-year-ohl
to win this classic.
The racing sharps nre wondering whether
or not It Is possible for Gideon to win the

Gideon has secured Radtke, Miller's rival,
