Time, Holmes Wins His Game and Tourists Now Leads Sallies Special to The Georgian. Augusta. Ga., Aug. 17.—'The game pulled off yesterday afternoon between the lo cals and the Savannah team waa decidedly the best played here'this season. It a pitchers' battle from start to finish, In which "Ducky" Holmes had the best of “Bugs” Raymond, the ex-Atlanta pitcher. Neither pitcher yielded a hit until the last half of the ninth, when "Bugs" was plastered for a couple of bits, which lost the game for him. Holmes played the entire game without allowing a thing that had a chance to be called a hit. He walked two men, nud hit one In the ribs, and this was the only time that a man reached second base or got on base for the visitor*. The official record shows that only twenty-aeven men faced him. There waa much Interest In the game, ns It meant the lead to the winner. Auguatn nosed Savannah out of the flrat place, and 8ILOAM L08E8 FIRST GAME. Special to The Georgian. nioam, Ga., Aug. 17.—In one of the fast- tat games played on the local grounds tbla season, 8lloam lost here Tuesday the first game to White Plains by the score of 6 to 7. The game was very fa*t and snappy from beginning to end. Caldwell, the star pitcher of Hllontn, was batted hard In the second Inning. He waa relieved by Rhodes, who let the visitors down with one bit. Garhsm pitched the game for the visitors, and he did well. The feature of the game waa the home run knocked by Fllllnghatn with three fn*n on bases. Rlloam will play a double-head •r Wednesday, AugUNt 23.

Cbsrlny Frank has come back at Mr. Arnold In a letter to President Kavanaugh. This letter, In part, follows: Motuphls, Tenn., August 12, 1906. idge Kavanaugh, President of Southern League, Little Rook. Ark. Dear Sir: 1 aui unwilling for the letter of Lowry Arnold, secretary of the Atlanta baseball club. to pas* unnoticed. It seems to be without any purpose except to Insult you and criticise me. I don’t think Jt Is accessary or proper for me to deal with those features of the letter Intended to af front you, because you ueed nobody to fight your battles. I do propose to auswer those thing* *ald about me. That letter la a mass of mendacious non sense and I* a cheap effort to plead the baby net nud wbtue In the prow**. In the flrat place. If Mr. Arnold kuew anything he would know that you had nothing to do with Nettling any dispute lie tween the New Orleans aim the Atlanta elub*. It doe* not make any difference, therefore, how you may feel toward either of tho parties. ■ Bectlon 1 of article 10 of the constitution of the Southern Association provide*: "The board of directors *hnll be the sole tribunal to determine dispute* between dubs." Not only did the Atlanta club fall to make Ita troubles known to tho only tribu nal provided by the constitution for nearing and determining It* complaint, blit doing cannot fool any east/ . ho know* the fact*. player In time prescribed by the rule*. In Arnold’s letter It I* snbl that the At lanta players did not refuse to go on with the game and that Jordan was arrested be fore the game was forfeited by the umpire. Every word of_ this Is false. Not a sylla got It and refused to give It up. The ball w*us never used In the play, nor Jind It ever been thrown bv tho plteher. Jordan persisted In his refusal to surrender the ball and the Atlanta team refused to go on with the game. The umpire bad nothlug to do but to forfeit the game. He did this, and could have done nothing dan to keep the ball. He was not entitled to It. and his high-handed conduct could not be tolerated. He had no more right to confiscate that hall than he did to filch our hats and uniforms. Quite a while after the gnme had been forfeited, and after the hall had been demanded of Jordan and he had refused to surrender It, he was ar rested for petty larceny. This Is not the flrat time that Atlanta’s manager claimed wo had used rubber balls, on May 12th, or In the series then being played, he w'on a game and the ball. He claimed nt Shreveport that It waa a rubber ball. He carried the ball to IJttle Rock ml It wo* opened In your presence and found to be a regulation ball *>nguo, .. . r . prepnred to show thnt his fraudulent use of rubber balls Is what enabled him to do It. It Is IiIh knowledge of rubber ball games thnt mnkcM him look at every ball with a brow of suspicion. Now, about the |3<V) penalty. After the St. Vrafn fight and after we had started on i new era of what was hoped would be prosperity and pence, there was n meeting >n Mr. Ewing's office at Memphis, and tho fusing to piny n certain game. I was criti cised about It and the association proceeded to consider a rule for my benefit. It was proposed to hold me for a while. Mr. Powell, then representing Atlanta, proposed to attach a penalty of $300 to any club that refused to finish a game. He formulated, with the nsslstnnce of Mr. Ew ing, section 17 of article 10 of the constitu tion, aa follows: "And Jn the event of said forfeiture being caused by tho withdrawal of the players during the progress of the S ame, then such forfeiting chib shall he ned $300." Now, admittedly, this forfeit ure was caused by the withdrawal of the players during the progress of the gnme. If this rule means anything, It means just what It says, and It says that the for feiting ylub shall be fined $300. I claim the assessment of the fine because I am entitled to It under the plain language and letter of the law and within Its purpose nud spirit. It Is your positive and unequivocal duty to assess the fine, and the rule provides: "Said fine shall be assessed by the presi dent of the association, but may be re mitted or modified upon appeal to, and a hearing by, the hoard of directors." You are required to assess the fine and then the Atlanta club can Appeal to the board of directors. If It " * this rule for ine to he ca„_ „ .. equally ns well that every other manager be caught br It when pe violates It. There Is a hue and ery thnt I want to control the league. You know how false thnt Is. I have asked no favors and bavu received none. The Atlanta club started out the season vlolntlng the rule about the salary limit, and then tried to evade It by the flim-flam makeshift of "suspending” extra players. It whined about a rubber ball and ran to you with ono and found that the whine was unjustified. It had n rule passed to try to catch tne, and then when caught by that same rule It whined ngaln. It makes n lot of ridiculous charges, and then after a few weeks' child’s play with draws them. It whines about you not lp»- Ing unbiased ns a Judge of those charges when you could not have even tried them. It tnkes Its players off the field and for feits n gnme and does not even have enough respect for Ita own conduct to pro test the gnme according to the rules. It Is the same old story of a blustering little kid going nhout with a Idnck eye and whimper lug thnt the other fellow Is the biggest. 1 rarely pay any attention to the "yellow" Charges That Smith Won Pennant With Rubber Balls. talk of those who have a good deal of the yellow In their composition, nnd I would not do it now but for the fact that It wns used ns a means of Insulting you. I might add that they have even said I had Buckley discharged. You know thnt there Is no truth In the story about the only manager that never made n complaint against him. Very truly, CHARLES FRANK.

Gnus then lost to Willie Lewis here In a six-round bout, lie wns slow that night, lacked his wallop nnd his judgment of dis tance nud wns worse than a weak-sighted matt.

It may he thnf he was "stringing" Nelson for this fight. He maybe thought the latter would pick hbu for n lemon and sign. One thing Is certain: Gnus won’t loaf when he meets Nelson.
