Atlanta (s negotiating with Dayton 'fur
the purchase of Kltner Duggan, lending
pitcher of the late lamented Interstate

asking for terms. He 1ms not heard as yet.

for the man.
.(ttlc Rock comes the news that
Judge Knrsnaugh has no Immediate luteu
tlon of coming to Atlanta.
Where the minor that he wns arose Is
not known. Why ho Isn’t is also not
known.
The Little Rock correspondent of The
Atlanta Georgian was naked to Inquire of
President Knvnnnugh If he Intended to
tnke any nctlon ngainst Buckley ou the
charge that he used foul nnd profane lan
guage while umpiring In league games.
( His reply wns: "Judge Knvnnnugh says
no formal rhorges have been preferred
ngnlust Buckley. Unless there are there
will be no Investigation."
It Is understood that Manager Finn made
some kick against Buckley’s language and
Pilcher Fisher of Shreveport stntes tbnt
he has written Judge Knvnnaugh a long
letter on the question. However, nothing
lu the wny of formal charges have been
made, and It Is prohnhle that, unless some
action Is taken, Buckley .will go hts wny un
molested, unless perhaps Tom Fisher car
ries out his threat of slaughtering him
when he gets down In Shreveport.
When the charges were made around the
league that the Memphis team was throw

GOTHAM ICE TRUST
OFFERS ITS BOOKS
Here are a few of the things that the
Commercial Appeal of Monday tins to say
about HUnday’s game:
"More tbnn 6,000 people, some 4,800 paid
admissions being Included, wore humiliated
nt the midden turn of affairs In which a
hen-pecked second baseman, n disappointed
pitcher who bad worked hard for the spoils
nnd n disgruntled catcher euncted the role
of village cut-ups.
"Suggs disappeared after pitching to five
Pelicans In the ninth, during which time
five opportunities were presented to retire
Pelicans without n run. Careless nnd prlml-
mil support made Huggs sick and he left
the green with the audience dubbing him
‘Hard Luck George.’
"Ats flipped n fly that any ordinary sec-
ntid busomnn might have handled, but Plass
wns commanded to race under the lilt, aud
muffed lt r after a hard chase to the edge
of the diamond. O’Brien then tnpped n
high bounder over Suggs and Louis Hnlflt
was again confronted with the opportunity
to redeem himself. He not only failed
dismally by falling to make sure of Ats
with an outstretched foot, which was long
enough to cause the runner’s force out,
but he caused many n heartache by tossing
the bnll so wide to Nlcholls that an out
wns out of the question. It Was a plain
attack of what'ball tossers refer to ns
'baseball non compus.'
"It was another pop-up toward second
base, but far out of Plass' reach this time.
It required but a few steps of the second
basemsn to reach the spot where Phillips'
fly wns descending, but JlnJdt wheeled
round nml round, until drunk from dlisl-
ness, nnd when he reached the spot, the
sphere fell with n sickening thud while Atx
registered the run that tied. "
"Rlekert was next up, and connected to
n safe spot In left, scoring 0*Brlen nnd
Phillips. Thiel fielded the ball home
promptly In the hope of getting Phillips,
nml Rlekert dashed for second on the
throw. It was then that Big Ed Hurlhurt
committed an aet that may take many
mouths for the funs to forget, by delib
erately throwing over , the hen-t>ccked
llnhlt s head, permitting Rlekert to pro*
eeed home with the fourth rim of the In
ning. nnd the run that really won.
"There were many dopesters trying to
place the blame on the guilty after the
(nuie, and many opinion* were advanced
from the beet friends of the locate con
demning Suggs nnd llnrlbnrt. For Habit,
nothing but condemnatory sympathy for u
second baseman traveling In too fast com
pony was heard.
"Manager Babb wns not In a happy «frame
of mind after the contest, but when asked
If any suspensions were In store for the
ones who had committed breaches of dis
cipline, sahl that ho could not say.
"The gift of the game to the Pelicans
produced many angry murmurs from adrnlr
ers of the Memphli, and some were sc
caustic lu tholr comment as to vow thqt
the Memphli hadn't tried their best. Such
adverse turn of affairs falling on top of
such a brilliant showing In Atlanta seemed
a reversal In baseball form quite hard
for the closest of students to fathom, hut
only the hot heads emitted remnrks after
thoroughly coled out that would reflect on
the playing at any atnge, and then even
they must hnvo been thoroughly convinced
that had a deliberate attempt * l»eeu made
to allow the Pelicans to win, the Memphli
could not possibly have been guilty of such
u imre-faced deal ss they committed.
"Habit's shortcomings were so flagrantly
flavored with odor not nt all fragrant, nml
JIurlburt’s weird throw tn center was so -
palpably plain aud cold-bloodedly executed
that the Idea seema stty that the gnine was
not on the level. Still the huge family of
fans are Indnlglug In plain talk nnd “
recent (ax ways of several connected
baseball In the South Is held responsible
for the state of affairs.
"Two weeks hare passed now since
Breltensteln onenely attacked Party nnd
bluestreaked Bed Him atmosphere with
such n torrent of ohsceuity ond abuse to
hoot that he wns fined In police court.
Yet, through schemes nnd refusals to tell
the truth, President Havana ugh has been
prevented from puulshlng Breltensteln.
llrelteufteln has not been punished. He has
pitched three games since, sud the public,
or, rather, the eighteen hundred or more
present the day of thi* assault, are probably
ridiculing the report made to President
Knvnimugb that the affair was exagger
ated.
Thai a player as guilty as Breltensteln
J proceed to celebrate a semi-monthly
nnulversnry without having been punished
Is probably no more mystery than why
Hurlbnrt is allowed to throw the ball nt

Merl{Jlau. Miss., July 24.—"Dusty" Miller
recently voiced the sentiments of every
thinking fan tn the Cotton Stntes League
when he stated that the race for the flag
would he I ret ween Meridian and Mobile.
Naturally he selected Mobiles* the win
ner In the two-club race, however, and
the dope sheet of the rest of the schedule
tends to give the Alabama city the better
of the argument.
i»f the regular players, Gardner, Merid
ian's left fielder, easily leads the league In
batting, lie has a butting average of .335 lu
72 gomes, while his nearest rival Is Jack
Bolin, of Gulfport, In less than half the
number of gntne*—33—has an average of
.303. Woodruff, of Baton ltouge, really de
serves to rank • ‘coud, however, as be has
played In 67 games with an average of
.300.
The Meridian team Is hitting hnrder, as

Han Francisco, July 24.—Ham Berger hes
itated quite a while nltout turning "pro
fessional," giving his friends to understand
that be Iielieved be could derote his time
to better use by going Into business.
The dls Is cast, and Ham Is stetfyed lu

still have doubts as to whether fighting
for n living is being "in business," but
he Will be kept bftsy any how, that is. If

cently, nud won good opinions from the
wise of the Fast through his clever show
ing with Jack O’Brien. Whether It Ih» a
fopd omen or l*d, Berger certainly caused
a far better Impression than did big Jim
Jeffries when the now-retired champ cut
utose for the first time tu one of the big
rifles leyoml the llockles.
Jeffries boxed In Xew York with Bob
Armstrong ami wns voted a duffer. When
thoroughly tried, he showed the experts
who had passed judgment on film that*
they were all wrong. Keeping right along,
he retired With the reputation of living the
greatest heavyweight that lived Jn this or
any other age.
