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.

COTTON STATES. 53 19 84 .574 .670 .552 .518 .483 .668 .839 .519 .471 .868 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. REVENGE NOT HIS. WEDNESDAY’S RE8ULT8. Southern.

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: By HAM. In New Orient)* Item. 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.

"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.

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.
