Special Correspondence.
Now Orleans, Sept. 3.—Not ■ to ho out
done In the mutter of "whisker finishes."
the Atlanta team pulled off n ninth Inning
rally whleh saved Saturday afternoon's
game from being a sad defeat.
In the fourth Inning, the fearsome Peli
cans put a run over the platter, nnd there
after, uutil the ninth Inning, It nppesred
that the Crackers were buffaloed or elked
eagled or something equally fatal to their
aspirations ns run-getters. For hardly a hit
and never n run made they.
Then came the ninth inning, which Lit-
e Hlehard Crosier Inaugurated with a
clean single. Smith was up next, and he
sent a bounder down third base line.
Itrouthers thought for a fatal second that
las going to roll foul, and so evi
dently did O'Brien and Cargo, for they
stood Idly several yards from first hose.
When "Chestle Artie" saw; his error, he
picked up the ball, hut nobody was at
first to head off Smith, nnd the scorer
chalked up a hit. Then Jimmy Fox com
pleted the stunt so nently started by Cro
sier and so fortunntely carried on by
Smith, when he singled to left field and
scored Crosier with the run which tied
things up.
New Orleans did nothing In the ninth,I
and Umpire Catnpau called the game when
that inning ended, alleging that It was
too dark to play. It was 6:55 when he
rendered hi* decision, nnd n couple of In
nlngs more could easily have been played.
As Tommy Hughes was getting stronger
every minute, while Manuel was apparently
weakening. It looked like a clhch for At
lanta If the game had gone on until It
was really too dark to play. But Cam
pan saw It otherwise, ana neither aide put
up much of a protest.
The steady pitching of Tom Hughes, nnd
the timely "ash work" of Crosier, Bid
Smith and Fox had pulled the fat out of
the fire, and Atlanta had more or less
eanse to be plenaed.
The game paeaed off as smoothly as that
on Friday. Every time Jordnn came to
bat, cheers and npptnnsc, mingled with
hisses, wero bean', but aside from the
hisses, there were no hostile dciuoustrs
tlons.
Tom Fisher pitched Saturday one of the
three greatest games In the annals of pro
fessional bnaohall, letting Montgomery
down without a hit, a niu, or even a man
to first base. He received errorless sup
port, had perfect control nnd strntfc ont
fourteen men.
His performance ranks In baseball with
the feat of Cy Young two years ago nnd
Erwin Wilhelm this year.
TEAMS BATTLE
FOR 24 INNINGS
Quite the most remarkable game in the
annals of professional baseball was played
at Boston Haturday between the Philadel
phia ami Boston American League teams,
the former winning In the 2«th Inning by
the score of 4 to J, It was only one in-
nlng shy of the world’s record, the game
played In lffll between p 4 nrgo and Grand
Forks going 25 Innings.
The^ feature of the game was the magnifi
cent pitching of Coombs, the young colle
gian recently signed by Connie Mack. -In
the twenty-four innings he allowed only fif
teen hits and one run. Ills nerve In pinches
made hls work undoubtedly the finest exhi
bition of twirling seen In recent years. For
liistfinre, Ferris ahd Parent each got two-
baggers In the game nnd Parent got a
triple, nnd once or twice the bases were
filled up. with dangerous hitters at the hat,
but u*heii this woo the ease Coombs put on
all hls steam and would strike out the fol
lowing hatters.
Harris, for Boston, pitched finely, but
weakened In the tw’enty-fourth and merely
Inhhcd the hall over, three runs belug
scored.
The gnme was started n t 1:33 o'clock nnd
lasted till 6:20 o’clock, requiring four hours
nnd forty-seven minutes.

WANDERERS HAVE MADE
GREAT RECORD ON ROAD
The Atlanta team, which arrives this
afternoon from Its last trip of the year,
has made a magnificent road record
against three of the strongest teams in the
league, and one club, while not powerful,
is not to be despised on Its own grounds.
Atlanta played sixteen games, on the trip,
meeting Memphis, Little Hock, Shreveport
aud New' Orleans in series of four games
each. The team returns, havlug wen ton
games, lost five, and tied one*.
Memphis was beaten three out of four.
Little Hock . was beaten three out of
four.
Shreveport was beaten three out of
four.
New Orleans wss beaten one game, won
two nnd tied up one.
Good pitching and heavy batting enabled
the team to win its games.
Tom Hughes pitched three games on the
trip, winning all of them. Harley pitched
ler .getting the discredit of Friday’s
feat nt New Orleans. Zeller pitch*!
games, making an even brenk. Hls j..
game was a bad one, but otherwise £
pitched well on the road. Doc Child*
two out of three, both of them being l t#*
defeats. Baxter Spaiks pitched thri*
games, winning two.

Last Double-Header of Trip
Results in an Even Break
By PERCY WHITING.
New Orleans, Sept. 3.—Atlanta closed Its
last road trip of the year by splitting n
double-header with the 1'ellcnns Sunday.
The first gume went to the home club by
the score of 9 to 1, Zeller being lambasted
all over the lot and receiving poor support.
Whiter Ouese pitched for the Pelicans nnd
held the Atlantans down to two hits. One
of them—Hoffman's double—yielded Atlanta
Its only run.
Baxter Sparks was the goods In the
oud battle, and got away with hls game—6
to 2—because he received excellent batting
lort. Foxy old Brelt was haunnereil
Winters. Croxler, Fox nnd Jordan
hogged all of the hits except one.
Both games were stinnplly played bv the
•lctors. and In each Instance the losing
club showed up poorly.

Special Correspondence.
New Orleans. Sept. 2.—Th'e "Otto Jordnn
case" will l»e heard Hepteinlior 17, two days
nfter the Southern League turn son ends.
Is doubtful if anything will come of It.
Presumably It will be thrown out of court
for lack of evidence.
While the team was In New’ Orleans Otto,
Secretary Ethridge aud some local newspa
per men went over to the court, bad a
look nt the famous rublier ball, and talked
with the Judge.
From wiint could he learned, the rase Is
regarded In /» serio-comic (ami mostly the
latter end of the hyphenated word light by
cry body connected with the court before
which It will Ik* heard. It Is the opinion that
Jordnn did the only possible thing In Rep
lug possession of the ball, ns the umpire
fused to take the mntter In hls own hands,
nnd It Is predicted on all sides thnt the
case will lie quietly smothered.
.Iordan was torn with conflicting emotions
to visit again the scene of hls famous
cnpnde and pointed out gleefully the cell
In which he was confined, and the patrol
wagon which he alleged was the Identical
one used lu conveying him to the police
station.
The writer carefully examined the ball
now In the possession of the New’ Orleans
police which Is being held for evidence.
This ball Is supposed »to Ik* the famous
"rubl»er" ball nnd certainly the cover Is
the one which was on the ball taken from
Jordan by the police. It bears ou the out
side the signatures of Jordan and Secretary
Ethridge. Also It has a mark made by an
Indelible pencil, which the Atlautn players
believe was put there by Charley Frank to
distinguish that hall ns a "phoney" one.
One thing about the ball, aside from Its
marvelous "liveliness," which looks suspi
cious, Is the fact that no trade mark Is
discernible. The ball Is comparatively a
new one aud It Is presumably Impossible
that the trade mark could have been re
moved by the amount of play It received.
Unless appearances nre mors deceitful than
usual, the ion 11 flow held by the New Or
leans police authorities Is not a regulation
Imll which Is required to be used by the
by-laws of the league.
The possibilities that the hnll has l>eon
"switched" since the time It was taken
away from Jordun, while remote, ore wor
thy of consideration. It has been kept loose
in a drawer of a desk In the police station.
Any one who had the run of the place
could readily hnvc pulled the ball out, sub
stltuted n dummy In Its place, made any
change nnd slipped the ball back again. To
have made a change the cover would hnv
had to be removed. Any one who desired to
make any changes would have had to take
the cover off and sew It hack on another
ball. Such n stunt Is possible, but far
from probable.
Anyway, there Is also remote possibility
that the hnll Is not the Identlenl one which
proved so "rubbery" lu the famous game In
which Manuel kuocked the unexpected home
run.
However, there Is not a member of the
Atlanta team who w’ouhl not like to be
present when the hnll In opened.
One by-product of the dope factory In
New Orleans during the rubber ball discus
sion was the statement made by n New
Orleans paper that Manager Mullaney of
the Montgomery team stated thnt he didn’t
get the rubber ball he had In hls possession
from New Orleans nt nil, but thnt he got
It from Smith when Billy was using rub*
' er balls down In Mneon.
Thnt this statement was made by Multn-
ney Is denied absolutely by a man who
heard the Interview, nnd the day after It
appeared Mullaney branded It ns a fabrica
tion.
The story was taken nt first ns one of
Mulluney’s Jokes, but now It appears thnt
"Mull" Uhl not tell It, anyway.

Suppose for lnstnnce that Archer, Jor

each by a different club. At the end of
