12 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. THURSDAY, JULY 26-1906. FT ! CHARLEY FRANK. HAS LANDED EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING AND NOW THE- FUN BEGINS I Nashville Gets Duggan Away From Billy Smith Elmer Duggan goea to Nashville. Now, what d’ye think of that? The roan. Billy Smith brought from Ma rlon, the man Sir rotary Farrell of the Na tional Association ordered hack to Dayton, has been bought from Dayton by Mike Finn and will piny with Nashville. When Manager Smith heard about It he wa* so surprised he nearly fainted. •‘Well, I'll be Plowed," said the manager, “If I ever beard the like of that l»efore. All the time I wua wiring offers to Dayton and tearing roy hair the Dayton people wore framing It up with Mike Finn. Why they Should sell Dugagn to Nashville Instead of Atlanta I dnu’t know, I’m sure; but that Is what has happened." Duggan Is not going to Nashvlle yet—not by several miles. Homebody owes him for bis last three weeks* work and he Intends to make Nashville pay hbn that money provided he goes there. But be la not dead anxious to go, anywny. He la well satisfied with Atlanta, nml^he has no longing for the burg of the Cambefland, Aside from the arrival of the news of tho Duggan deal, nothing much has happened In local baseball circles. , Almost everyt*ody of basaball Importance Is waiting for the opening game against Frank nnd his men. •There will Ik* no tfoufde at the jmrk, ’ said Chief Joyner. "We will throw every possible safeguard around the men, and I am sure that there will be no unpleasant Incidents. I do not think that anything la planned, but Just to be on the safe aide we will have out an extra number of police." Crackers Win in Best Game Seen in Atlanta ' in Years Wednesday’s battle In which the IMrates bit the dust to the dirge of 1 to 0 1 perhaps, the greatest exhibition of base ball ever seen In Atlanta. Fielding of dassllng radiance Itegan the battle nnd In creased Inning by Inning In brilliancy until the eyes of 1,800 fails were blinded to the grandeur of the work being done by eigh teen athletes, grappled In terrific itrug- gle. Impossible plays became common. Circus catches became trite. Sky-rocket stabs be- canie as cheap as dirt, nnd lightning throws no more to !>e applauded than n third-class pitcher warming up before a game. Tho crowd was, jit the end of the game, surfeited with the sensntlonal, satiated with the suiwrh. To pay tribute to the fielding of the Shreveport team* It need only lie said that eleven hard hits were made off Lee, nnd only one run resulted. And that If the Pirates had played Just an ordinarily good errorless game, the tall twlrler would have been massacred. At least, five drives which, nine times out of ten or even forty- nine {lines out of fifty, would have been termed Impossible to field, were killed by King, Hess nnd Kennedy. This highway robtiery came every time when Atlanta had men on bases. , "I’ve Immb In the game fifteen yeaya," Mid Billy Smith, "but I never before saw any such work as the Shreveport team did.” On the other hand, the Atlanta team played a magnificent game, errorless, fault less, brilliant. Rrera, Fox, Jordan, Croxler, Childs—nil shone with unusually clever stunts, but— Those two catchea by King, that atop by Hess, that nonpareil work of Kennedy! They linger In the memory like the short fielding of Fred Ely, way back In 1893, Ilka the aprlntlug stabs of Ben Koehler two years ago! To get down to the play— Doc Childs pitched for Atlanta. Ho was Invincible, except In tho sixth Inning, when Lee got n tingle nnd Kennody n double. Fine play by Jim Fox, Jack Evers nnd Otto Jordan then preranted nuy damage. Other wise, Doc was as steady ns Gibraltar, nnd Just aa ■ Impregnable to assault. He went In the game with his arm still sore, but ho bad everything. Speed to burn, per fect control nnd sharp-breaking curves put the Pirates down and out. But for his support, Dee would have thought* be was fn nn abattoir. Ilia de livery wit driven all over the field, eleven safe smashes eluding tho ubiquitous Pi rates. Inning by Inning, the two teams battled In fruitless endeavor until the Inst half of the ulutb. Fox began by driving out, Evans to Abstain. Wnilnre came next, and, heeding the scornful 'cries of "Stand up to the plate," waded Into n fast one and sent It sailing to deep right center. He pulled up on secomh Evers fanned, Wallace meanwhile* getting to third ou a wild pitch, uud then Doc Childs started for the plate, braced to win his owu game. Billy Smith called him back. Doc kick***! against orders, but Hilly Insisted, nnd Archer came up for the thankless Job of substitute Witter. He fnuned nt two, nud then imked one between Kennedy and Hess. The game was over. . It may lie ten years Ik*fore there Is due quite Its equal. The score: ATLANTA— Crosier, If.. , Jordan, 2b. • Winters, rf.. Smith, 3b.. .. .Morse, as.. .. Fox. lb Wallace, of.. Evers, AB. It, II. PO.

"Those things are soonest mended that way, anyhow. ”I’H *«y this, though. Billy Smith brought thnt on Jordan. If he had not ordered Otto not to give up the ball It would never have happened.

"It never has come oqt who gdt Jordan ont of the station—but I did It Of course I wasn't going to have him locked up there." “How about the case—will It ever come up again?" was asked. "Oh, let’s forget It” aald Frank. "Aa for Mlary limits —" and then Char* ley threw back his head and laughed. "In the first place, almost alt the clubs In the league have been exceeding the. fourteen- player limit. I have not. Up to the time I got Watt I had twelve men. And I only got him to help out with double-headers. By having a small number of high-class men I have been nblw to keep Inside the salary limit, and yet hare a good team. My twelve good men have proved. better than sixteen second-class players." The suggestion that Memphis was throw ing games to New Orleans was greeted with another laugh. '"Tlpit game Sunday waa a sight, and I never thought it would be ended," said the Dutchman. "The crowd swarmed on the field after Memphis exploded and It looked squally. But wo pulled It through. It all happened because liurlburt made a raw error. He put all of his steam Into a throw to second nnd nobody was there. The hall went to the field nnd nobody hurried to get It. When the smoke cleared away we had four runs nnd Suggs couldn't be found. Pfennlnger lost fifteen minutes look ing up a pitcher for them. Finally Loucks came along and finished out tho game. "You can bet, though, that no games are being thrown. That Is ridiculous.". "Talking about backbones," concluded Manager Charles—though nobody had said a word about them—"I wouldn’t trade my receipts this year for any In the league. Don't let anyl>ody stuff you on the attend ance proposition. , Of courM we had about the usual Fourth of July crowd, no more and no less than usual: but we have been doing well. I have no kick."

It Is about time that Itnymond was either given a life suspension or put In an asylum. He la a disgrace to baseball. Some little bantering Is going on lietween the Montgomery Journal, Montgomery Ad vertiser and the Atlanta papers on account of the long condemnatory articles which were published by the Atlanta papers after Montgomery had mobbed Budderham.
