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.

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*.

GLIDDEN TOURISTS OFF ON LAST LAP OF RUN Brouthers, Atz and Phillips 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." J. GANS STILL AFTER NELSON By Private tented Wire. Han Pranelacog July 27.—Jo© Gant will fight Battling Nelson on nny terms the white champion desires.

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.
