THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1906.
FANS BY THOUSANDS TURN OUT
EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING
TO SEE FRANK’S PELICANS PLAY i
LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF THURSDAY’S MIX-UP
WHAT HAPPENED, AND WHY,
AT THURSDAY’S SESSION
Gee, hot Montgomery paper* will be <ll«
appoint'd when they learn that Thuradny'a
game peaaed off without a tight. They
were Juat rooting for trouble.
Gneae. who finished out Pbllllpa' lines-
plred term lu the box for New Orleana,
pitched nlre ball, anil with errorless aup-
port might bare held the Crackera to a tie.
One of the fana at Thuradny'a game eom
dented on the fact that Hoi waa "not
long enough for two men and too long for
Another wanted to know why bo ran to
eecond bare when he could atand up and
fall there.
Horrible treatment of Charley Frank yea-
trrday. Thla hualneaa of pouring money
Into hie pocketbook muat hare hurt him.
Such a crowd aaw the game that It waa
ameared clear orer Into tight Held. A aafe
hit Into the bunch waa good for two liaaea,
according to the ground mica which bad
to be put In force.
It waa an awful welt the ball handed
phllllpa and the old man waa lucky to ea-
cape aa lightly aa ho did. When Wallace
aoake one It la likely to dent anything that
geta In the way.
The run which won the game waa Jim
Hox’a two-bagger. And It waa none of
thoee "Into-the-crowd” kind, either; but a
good, long one, out Into the open.
When Rid Smith caught Cargo'a foul fly
lu the third he went right oo top of
whole dealer of rope after It, but be
brought It down, all right.
The Drat rubber boll which went calling
ln^> the dlnmond waa preaented with great
ceremony to Charley Frank. And aa uaual
the Dutchman oniy grinned.
Chief Joyner noted aa one of Charley
Frnnk'a body guard when the New Orlenue
team waa leaving the grounde. The chief
waa determined that Atlanta'a good name
ahoulil not be Injured by any unpleaaant
Incident, and It la due In part to bla fore-
alght and the preeautlona be took that noth
Ing of an unpleaaant nature happened.
Hughoa did not allow a bane on balla and
hla apeed waa about aa remarkable aa hla
control.
Olto Jordan wanta to go on record aa de
nying Charley Frank'a atatement that
Frank got him out of the police atatlon nf
ter the "rubber boll Incident” In New Or-
lenne.
Not only he didn’t get me ont,” aald
Otto, "but he tired the man who tried to
do It. Hitch a atory haa not a word of
truth In It. lie waa the man who had me
aent to the atatlon and he Intended to keep
mo there.”
Buckley umpired a good game Thureday
and kept order on the diamond when It
a difficult matter.
Pelicans Meet Defeat and
Otto Jordan Is Revenged
ATLANTA 3 NEW ORLEANS 2
Before an enormoue crowd of antl-New Orleana rootera, and In a game which
aparkled alike with brilliant playa and fortunate rrmra, the At antit team got Ita
rerenge on Charley Frank for the rubber ball Incident nnd the Inault to Otto Jor
dan. The rerenge came at a S to 2 clip, after one of the moat nerre-atralnlng
*'TBly” 1 RralthTwaa'eo determined to take the flret one that he put In the mighty
Hughe, and Dong Tom pitched hla uaual maatrrly game. He waa all there, with
everything anjr pltcher^cver had—aimed, currea, aplt ball. Jump ball, change of pace
* nJ Only lt |n' the*flrsf Inning "dirt New Orleana dept hla delivery. In thla dlahcnrt-
enlor period, Blrkert alngled. Cargo went aafe on an error, llroutbere waa hit by
the ball, Blake struck out and Knoll scored two men, and all but won the game,
^Atlanta'made one In the Drat Inning, and then for an almoat Intcrmlnnblo time
both twlrlera had the batters pitched helpless. ,
In the sixth, however, an error and Archer a good two-bagger scored a second
rnB in*^he t aevcnth Nothing stirred, hut In the eighth, Morse singled and stole second,
and Jim Fox, the Reliable. brought him home with one of Uiose two-bnggera which
are going to win him a home some day In the big longue*.
Hitch a demonstration aa followed Jim's game winning swat has not been geea
or heard In Piedmont park In a bunch of time. Everybody who bad a voice yelled
and things tore loose In terrible style. _
In the Drat half of the ninth things looked rather equally, but Dong Tom waa
■II there again, and managed to bold the Pelicans aafe.

Furnished Incidents of Game
» *
Contest Between Atlanta and New Orleans Passed Off Smoothly,
Beyond a Scrap Between His Umps and the New Orleans
Players and the Hitting of Phillips by a Batted Ball.
That portion of the 5,000 fans which went
out to Piedmont park Thursday afternoon
looking for trouble, or expecting that there
would he enme, stacked up agalnat tbs dls-
opoplnlmcut of their Uvea.
It Artie Brouthers end Jskle Ats had be
hoved themselves, end If Billy Phillips hsd
not Interposed bis head Inatead of bis hsnds
In front of n hard-hit ball the game would
have paased by without an unpleaaant rip
ple.
In the eighth Inning, when Morse stole
second, Jskle Ats, who received the bell,
claimed that Fox, who waa then at bat, In;
terfered with Rtratton'a throw. Buckley
told him politely but firmly that ho had
not aeon It and asked for thn ball. Thla
Jnkle refused to give up, nnd Buckley
chaaed him aerosa by third base and Anally
anntched the l .ill away. Tbta waa bad
enough, with n couple of tboueand excited
fana Juat Itching for aome excuse to start
a disturbance, but then
MVas-Once-ln-thc Illg-Dengiia" Brouthers
hutted In, rushed up to nuekley and knocked
the ball out of hts hands. For this Buckley
very wisely sent him out of the game and
ordered s policeman to put blm off tbs
grounds.
After this chesty proceeding on the part
of Brouthera and Ats bad been disposed of
the game went along In ■ normal way.
O'Brien was switched over to the vacant
plseo at third, Blake was called In from
the outfield to ploy flrat and Manuel went
Into the field.
Thn accident to Phllllpa happened In the
eecond Inning, when Wallace drove s liner
right at the veteran pitcher. Phllllpa
threw up hla handa to guard hla bead, but
the ball wns coming too fast and It bit
him aqunrely on the aide of the bead. For
a aecond he reeled, then turned taalf-nround
nnd went down In a beep. A doctor^ wns
aent for nnd e\4ry posatblo attention given
the stricken plnyor. Finally, after consid
erable delay, Phllllpa "came to” infftlcently
to walk to the visitors’ bench, where he
ant throughout the game, bolding hla ach
ing head In bla handa.
Thla morning Phillips’ head la In aa good
coiidltoln aa roold be expected, and he
will probably be able to pitch In hla uaual
These were the exciting Incidents of the
game. Otherwise nothing sensational hap
pened.
Chief Joyner had requested police protec
tion and he certainly got It. A cordon of
police wna stretched around the entire Oa-
roond, nnd every time there waa a flurry
about n score of cops were right on the
scene and ready to do busluets.
But tbo crowd showed no symptom* or
starting anything. A few of them had soft
rubber balls, which they threw about, and
when tha New Orleans playera came to
bat there were usually -a few hisses, but
otherwise there was no demonstration and
no excitement, beside that which the. game
furnlehed.
After the game was over a few hundred
curious fana lingered to see the exit of the
New Orleana team. And It wns Impressive.
First came the players, In broken order,
and then n platoon of police, then Charley
Frank wearing a broad smile.
Once or twice the crowd tried to close
In, but the police were always then with
their clubs find nothing happened. The
Pelicans climbed peacefully on their buss,
Charley Frank followed, and they drovs off.
And It was all over.
All that had coma out of the demonstra
tion was the lining of the pocketbook of
Charles Frank. Ills shsrs of the gslu re
ceipts will be s most considerable bunch
and all the punishment he will get for the
"rubber ball” Incident and for the dirty
trick he played on Otto Jordan will be more
money then he hae received for any game
on the road thla year.
No wonder they call that Dutchman
"foxy."

Tom Hughes Added Another
To His String of Victories
Tommy Iluehes, who ad tied a notable vie
tory to his strlnff Thursday, when he help
ed to down New Orleans, has won six
teen and tied one out of the twenty games
he has pitched for Atlanta thin year.
Up to June 27, Hughes had won ten out
of twe.lve. On June 28, he lost a game
to Birmingham by a score of l.to 3. The
next one was with Nashvlllo In Atlanta
July 4, snd Hughes was on the wlnnlug
side, with the score 15 to 1 In favor of At
lanta.
On July 6 he fought to a stand-off with
Birmingham, In a game which ended 4 to
4. July 10 was his next appearance, and he
won 11 to 6 from Nashville. Then he had
a few days' rest, and appeared In Mont
gomery, winning there 2 to 0. Ills next ap
pearance was a t to 0 victory, and then
he,appeared against Shreveport July 23 and
won 3 to 1. Of his doings Thursday, At
lanta fana need hardly lie told, for all
of them were ont to aep the fun.
In the twenty games he has pitched,
Hughes has allowed 134 hits, and they have
netted Atlanta's opponents forty-seven
runs.
At the start of Hughes' career In At
lanta, he was not hitting much, but dur
ing July he has been batting them out at
exactly a .800 clip. He haa yet to make his
first fielding error.
Altogether, Hughes Is proving as valuable
aa any pitcher In the league, and It Is with
regret that local fans consider the possi
bility of losing him this fall.
