< THE ATLANTA GEORCrIAN. FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1906. 1 SPORTS <?U5 sunun «s tmi aoucs Pones *tasc7o,oe *sioaT. SOME PUGI8LISTIC VIEWS BY TAD. MULL BENCHED BYKAVANAUGH Just was doped oat In The Georgiaa of Thursday afternoon, Manager Dominick Mullaney, the moat popular manager In the Southern league, has been suspended by Karnnaufh, president of the league, as a result of his alleged assault on Sbus ter. Of eourae. The Georgian was not right there on the ball Held, and did not see the encounter, but. judging from the press reports sent out from the Crescent City, Mnllnuey dldnt* eome within 20 feet of the tender unips. The press reports stated Thursday that “Mnnnger Mtillnney made n break for the umpire, but was held by some one," while Shuster's pitiful wall to the league's hend was: “Mtillnney kicked me and followed me nil orer the Held, nearly causing riot." Local fandom hare had a nice juicy taste of Shuster’s ability to tell the truth, and It's a 20 to' 1 shot that Mutlaney didn't Come within 40 feet of the judge of play Ami the Karan a ugh Prank combination biased nut in all Its glory nnd yellow ness whan Karanangh ordered Mull sua- pended without even so mnch na an In reetlgatton. Yet—a drunken pitcher, who la acting In the capacity of umpire, may assault a player and use profane langunge In the presence of womed spectators, just becange the said Intoxicated player la a member of the New Orleans club. But was Manager Mutlanay feased when be got notice of his suspension. Not he. The big Irishman with a wit that la born In him. wired the following touching mes sage to Karanaugh. Again The Georgian calls the attention of the fans that Shuster for the past month haa trailed New Orleans around the circuit. 8ILOAM WINS-NO-HIT GAME. Special to The Georgian. Btloam, On., Aug. 94.—A very Interest- : ing hut rather one sided game of ball waa played here Thursday afternoon In* tween the atrong nine from Union Point, snoam had a walkover with the visit Ing team.

Chicago's record beginning with July 29, when It started Ita wonderful streak, Is as follows: Won 23, lost 1, tied 1, Nine teen victories have been successive. Thla continued winning has carried the White Hox from fourth position, where they were hardly considered a pennant pos sibility, Into first place, with a ten-game lead over the Athletics, their nearest ri vals. While the greater number of their games have been won on the home grounds, where they have always been considered almost Invincible, they have yet to lose their first game on the present trip enat,* having to date played eight. The wonderful upward flight of the Box began on their return from their last fMMirrn trip on July 29, nftrr they bad suf fered severely at the hands of their cist ern rivals. In Philadelphia, they fell vic tims to the Athletics to the extent of five games out of six, and their pennant chances appeared to be squelched. Back on their home grounds, they ral lied and took four gnmes from Washing- ton. This was followed by a defeat at the hands of Boston. Comlskey’s men regained their stride after this set-back, and, with the excep tion of a 0-0 tie last week In Chicago, have won every contest. One of the most remarkable feature* of the winning streak Is the fact that the Chicago team Is bitting very poorly; In fact, ranka last In the league. This, how ever, Is offset by their flue fielding and base running, and the excellent work of the pitchers. Though White, Owen nnd Patterson have contributed greatly to the string of suc cesses, the greatent work has lH*n done by Walsh. This pitcher has not met with a defeat since June, and of the twenty-thrse victo ries, he has captured eight, more tbsu a third of the number. lie has not allowed Ills opponents a run In five of these games. In two only a sin glp run, and in the other three. In a contest ngnlnst Boston on August 3, ho nllnwed Collins' men but one hit. Thlrtf-nlne hits have Iieeq charged against him for eight, gnmes, an average of leas than five, lie won games on July 29, gust 3, 7, 10, 12. 15. 18 and 23.

Iloffmnn popped nut, and Jordan tripled, aendlug Morse home. Fox groundered, but Jordan was nabbed at the plate. Brers' grounder forced Fox. The next time In the dfth.

RICE’S DOPE MAKES GOOD The two Chicago teams continue their vic torious march, nnd It tieglns to appear that Grnntlniid Rice’s prediction, made nearly a mouth ago, will be realised to the letter.
