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. | League Standings j 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. The brunt of the. rva-gettlng f 0 u ^ four, men, Morse, TV lew* KU1 Smith so<j Jordan. Croxler, Hoffman, Fox, Archer aw Evers All figured prominently In the gnm«*, hut the first-mentioned quartet did the Iiql of the hitting and the run-getting.

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. The scores: First Game.

The negro lived only a few hours. Neal has not yet been captured. More Sports on Page Six. By PERCY WHITING. 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. Summary; Two-base hits, Hoffimm; ATLANTA TEAM CAN LOSE ONLY ONE MAN BY DRAFT NAT KAISER & CO. Ccnfldentlal loans on valuables. Bargains In unredeemed Diamond* 16 Occatur SL • Kimball Hous» Jimmy Archer and Otto Jordan .have been drafted from tho Atlanta club, the former living claimed by the Detroit nnd the latter by 8t. Louis, both American League clubs. But there is one good thing about If all: According to the drafting rules adopted last fall, Atlanta can lose only one tuna by draft. It It like thlt: Suppose for lnstnnce that Archer, Jor dan, Kmlth, Fox and Zeller are drafted each by a different club. At the end of rhe drafting season, October 13, the national 'em mission wilt meet. It will Ik* seen that there are five claims for players against the Atlanta club. According to the rule, Class A league club can lose only cue in. Ko the five claims nre put In n hat. nnd one slip Is drawn. The club whom* name comics out this way gets Its plaver. The other four lose, ami Atlanta wiiis. It may In* thnt Archer will go; It may Ih* Jo*rtian. or It may be any oif the other three. But It lif certain that Atlanta Drafts Announctd. One of particularly bocal, tntero»st is the purchase l*y Cincinnati or Roliert oitn Chappie. Atlanta’s only proolnct playing In first-class organised bu«i*hnlL Chappie waa In 1900 captain and star pitcher of the Atlanta Boys' High school baseball teniu. and he learned to play Hie game on tho* b>ts out nt \Vo*st Kuol. After lM»lng grad uated from the high sch«>ol, he w*ut to the Florida State college. whore he achieved considerable node ns u pitcher ami footistl! player. In he was signed for Jack- eomvllle. where he plto>heol well foir two years, ranking well up among South At lantic League players. This year he was taken to the Scranton New York State League club by Eddts Ashcnlmck, nnd by hls brilliant work he has put the team i0^ points to the goool lu the pennant pitched thlrty- „ pi •lx games this year am! has lost only six.

JACK O’BRIEN IS BACK AGAIN By Frlvnto Leased Wire. Philadelphia, J’a., Sept. 3.—"Philadelphia Jack" O’Brien surprised the fighters yes terday by hls arrival from Europe. Not even the members of fils family knew that he was back in this country, or Intended to arrive at this time, until a tele gram was freed red from Jack Saturday night. Ills return Is now In line with dope nt the time, of hls departure, when It was predicted thnt hls trip across the ocean would lie merely preliminary preparation for hls bout with Hnm Berger this fall. He was here only long enough to change hls clothes nnd run for a train for At lantic City. TOURNEY DATE WAS CHANGED The date of the eighth Georgia state trap-shooting tournament, to he held nt the Atlanta Gun Club, has been changed from Keptember to October 4, 5 and 6. The change Is made ou account of the former dates conflicting with totirnnmeuts nt (’iudnnatl and I*oulnvUle. Since the change has been effected. It is certain that many of the leading pro fessional shots of the Country will attend the shoot. An Interesting shoot was held nt Lake- wood Saturday, nt whleh the following scores were made, each figure representing the targets broken out of 25 trials: three-base hits. O'Brien; stolen liases.
