Charleston. H. Ang. 9.—Attendance nt

to an edge. (wraiiw of tin* general dtssafl*-
faction with the management. Pender hn*
tried out thirty three men, nnd now hn*
a team of twelve, with only three pitcher*.
The director* of the local team nre pretty
well "boated” by the experiment* of Pen
der. and the team ha* by no mean* plnyed
winning ball. Mnrri* wa* aold to Havan-
Bah for n email conalderatlon, and there I*
a feeling among the t’hnrleatnn fan* that
they have been played with on all aide*.
Rnmora are out that the team frnnchlue
ha* been offered to Urouther* of New Or-
lean*, nnd nlah that It I* being looked at by
the atreet railway people of Charleston. *1
though tbl* ba* not l»een verified. It li
rather a certainty that there will be n
change of owner* of the Charleston aggre
gation next year.
An offer for Turner by fi*vann*h ha*
been refused by Pender, however, who de
clares that he will not sell buy more player*
till* *ennon unlea* a good offer I* made.
He will secure Weulg and Foster, of Iiar-

Freeman Breaks 145 St raight
and Sets a New Club Record
H. D. Freeman set a new re/ord for the
Atlanta Gun CT I>—probably a new record
for the city, and, as far a* ft$ known, a
Dew record for the state—when he broke
245 straight bird* over the trap* of the At
ianta Gun flub at Lakewood Wednesday.
When Mr. Freeman began shooting It was
the continuation of 219 straight which he
bad made the previous day. He missed bia
fifteenth bird of the afternoon, but that
xmt mis* ateadled him and he then smashed
245 straight, with never a ml**.
That was the finest shooting Hint wa*
aver teen at the Atlanta Gun Club. It
seemed for a while that Mr. Freeman would
Barer make a miss, and his showltiff wa#
unusually good.
Counting part of bl* two day*' work, Mr.
Freeman broke 278 out of 279 birds. The

Birmingham, Aug. 9.—Birmingham accom
plished the remarkable feat of winning all
four gapiea of two double-header* In rapid
succession here Tuesday and Wednesday.
The game* Wednesday were tnken by scores
of 4 to 8 and 4 to 2.
Harder fought games have seldom been
seen on the slag pile. The Atlanta player#
liattl\Hl with grim determination nnd It I*
likely that their over-engerne** to win the
game* accounted for the 1 lobbies by which
they lost. Both defeat* were creditable
alike to victor and vanquished.
Both Mpark* ami SSellar pitched plucky
ball and either might have won with gilt
-edged support. The battered Pricker* were
not able to play quite nt their l>e»t, how
•ver, and both game* were dropped
slightly fra axled work-
Clark and lleagnn were the winning pitch

INMISSION
GOLDFIELD HA8 RAISED $92,000

By Private leased Wire.
Snn Francisco, Aug. 9.—Kddle Graney,
who went to Ogden In the hope of lndndng
Battling Nelson to box in this city Instead
of at Goldfield. Nev., failed in his mission
and returned to Han Francisco last night.
Graney did not nppear to be greatly crest
fallen over his lack of success. It seems
that he saw Tex Rickards at Reno while
on his way to Ogden, and from what Rick
ards told him made up his mind that there
was no chance that Han Francisco could
secure the contest unless the relief commit
tee agreed that the funds at his disposal
be converted Into a purse for the tighten.
•T)o you know how much money I’ve col-,
leoted for this fight?*’ asked Tex Rickards
of the little horseshoer. *
*1 heard you had gntlicred up $30,000,"
replied Graney.

get that match if I have to offer It all,”

Charley Frank and announced quite post
tlvely that the local club refuses to pay
the $500 fine assessed against It liecauae It
was alleged that the club left the ground
nnd refused to finish a game In New Or

Mr. Arnold's letter, which Is a tori Id
production, follows:
Atlanta, Ga.. August S. 1906.
Judge W. M. Knvanaiifh. President South

We had not pressed the charge# against

We feel that Frank la an Intrenched In

Augnatn, On.. Ang. 9.—It teem* the report
thnt Beck had the ••!», T.'a" waa greatly
exaggerated. As a matter of fart. It la now
believed here that the once-great player i*
mentally unbalanced.
Beck wa* signed by Manager Rnnslck Hnt-
urdny anil he re|>orted for duty In Tues
day's game. He madt two very costly er
rors. but during the game and before It
started it was seen that he waa laboring un
der some mental strain. He hnd Mens to
the effect thnt "sixteen people were bnrled
under the home tilate,” and that Castro,
the shortstop for Nashville, together with a
band of bandits, waa after him with Jack
knives and stlllettoes.
Yesterday morning, while In bis room,
still under the mental atraln. he thought
a band of nihilists was after him. Ho mad#
a Jump for the outer world and went
through the window before Mr#. Berk eould
stop him. He fortunately hit the wires and
rose bush, or be might have been n de:nl
man or badly Injured.
Captain Norcum of the local team visited
him after he hnd lieen captured, nnd ascer
tained thnt Ileek had the Idea thnt Castro
was after him. Norcum said: "Why, you
know when I was In the-room with Beck
this morning he looked out on Broad street
ami said: ’There Is Castro nnd hls bunch
out there after me:' but I told him thnt
the only bunch he saw was a bunch of ba
nanas across the street. The man Is cer
tainly suffering from some mental trouble,
nnd not from whisky, ns many have nb
ready said. I have advised hls wife to
semi him to a sanltnrlnui for n few dnys
and see If It will not get hla mind straight."
While Beck wns on hls rampage yester
day imirnlng he lost—perhaps swallowed—a
very tine diamond ring, worth probably
$150. Mrs. Beck states that he hnd It mi
during the morning, but they have not
b#*en nble to locate It since bis leap nut of
the window.
Beck has been released by the local man-
nger. nnd while he Is not lmand to do so,
he Is looking after tho comfort of the ua-
fortunate player,
Ing than Atlanta would la*. Inuring auch

conduct, nnd the same would dualities* lie
true of New Orleans with reference to our
rejiresentatlve there.
You write me that my letter was "the
first you have had which has any semblance
whatever to a charge ngnlnst the New Or
leans dub for the u*e of rubber Italia nt
New Orlean#;" yet we nre Informed that
certain members of the Montgomery lm*c-
ball club went to yonr office In Little
i ltuck when tlmt team reached yonr city,
• nnd while you were out of town. Mr.
; Clark Miller, your secretary, wns present.
and they *hnn*ed him the ruhlier ball which
‘ hail been obtained In New Orleans by
Appcrtou*, the center fielder of Montgom
ery, nud which hnd l*oen cut open In
Hhrevi*port lie fore Gllks. nnd found to lie
practically composed of tightly wound rub
ber strings. We presume Mr. t'lark Miller.
• who presided lu your office In your ab-
j settee, acquainted yon with these facts:
ami If. as presblent of the league, you do
I not care to go into the niattef. ami a* the
Montgomery team has no eomplniut to
J make, we have decided no* t«» l»e responsi
ble for nn Inreatlgntinn. Moreover, prne-
i tlcully every new#pn|»er lu the Southern
League has commented on the Montgom
ery affair, ns. well ns the Atlaiitn game.
However. If you «(«•#(re. a# president of
, the league, t.* take up ami vigorously, fair
• Iv am! Impartially investigate and prest
' these charges ngnlnst Charley Frank, we
will take pleasure In furnishing you the
finis In the Montgomery, ns well ag the
Atlanta Incident*, furnishing you
unuics of wltnesnes. ami doing nil we cau
t«f throw all possible light on the matter.
As to Frank's claim against us for the
$»X) penalty, we deny thnt we owe It either
morally or under any rule i»f baseball.
Our players state that they did not re
fuse to g4» nu with the game, nnd thnt. aft
er Jordan's arrest, the game was forfeited
by the umpire. The removal of «wo man
from the game, when Ida team mates are
i tin the ground, ready ami able t<» finish
the game, |* no ground for n forfeiture.
Frank’s demand of this technical penalty
of ns Is not right, ami everyone who un
derstands the matter know* It. We think
ami we believe that the giiod people of
