New Orleans, Bept. 3.—Not to be out* done In the matter of "whisker finishes." the Atlanta team pulled off a ninth Inning rally which eared Saturday nfternoon’s game from being a end defeat. In the fourth Inning, the fearaonie Pell* cana put a run over the platter, and there* after, until the ninth Inning, It appeared that the Crackera were buffaloed or elkod or eagled or aomethlng equally fatal to their aspirations as run-gettera. For hardly a hit and never a run made they. Then came the ninth Inning, which Lit* tie Richard Crosier Inaugurated with a clean •Ingle, Smith wan up next, and he Tom Fisher pitched Saturday one of the three greatest games In the annala of pro. festlonal baseball, letting Montgomery down without a hit, a run, or even a man to first base, He received errorless sup* port, had perfect control and struck out fourteen men. His performance ranks In baseball with the feat of Cy Young two years ago and Erwin Wilhelm this year. TEAMS BATTLE FOR 24 INNINGS Quite the moat reinsrknble gome In the annals of professional baseball was played at Boston Haturday between the I’hlladel- phi® and Huston American league teams, the former winning In the 24th Inning by the score of 4 to 1. It. wns only on« o!ng shy of the world’s record, the game played In 1891 between Fargo nnd Grand Forks going 25 Innings. The feature of the giiuic wns fhe magnifi cent pitching of Cnomhfl. the young colle gian recently signed by Connie Mack. In the twenty-four Inning* he allowed only flf teen hits and one run. IIIh nerve In pinches made Ills work undoubtedly the finest exhi bition of twirling se<{u in recent years. For Instance, Ferris and Parent each got two baggers In the game mid Parent got a triple, nnd once or twice the bases wero filled up, with dangerous hitters at the bat, but when this wnn the case Toombs put on all his steam and would strike out the fol lowing batters. Harris, for Boston, pitched finely, but weakened In the twenty-fourth and merely lohhed the ball over, three runs being scored. The game was started at 1:33 o’clock and lasted till 6:30 o'clock, requiring four hours and forty-seven minutes. ! League Standings WANDERERS HAVE MADE GREAT RECORD ON ROAD The Atlanta team, which arrives this afternoon from its last trip of the year, has made a mngnlflcent road record against three of the strongest teams In the league, and one club, while not powerful. Is pot Ho be despised on Its own grounds. Atlanta played sixteen games on the trip, meeting Memphis, Little Itock, 8Ureveport and New Orleans In series of four games each. The team returns, having won ten games, lost five, and tied one. . Memphis was beaten three out of four. Little Rock whs beaten three out of four. \ Shreveport wns beaten three out of four. New Orleana waa beaten one game, won two and tied up one. Good pitching and heavy batting enabled the team to win ita games. Tom Hughes pitched three games on the trip, winning all of them. Harley pitched two games*and won all of them, Rube z#L Icr getting the discredit of Friday’s d*. feat at New Orleans. Zeller pitched f OIir games, making an even break. His i a *t game was n bad one, bnt ptherwi*. h| pitched well on the road. Hoc Childs I*,* two out of three, both of them being l f0 • defeats. Baxter Sparks pitched thre* games, winning two.

Then Jimmy Fox com pleted the stunt ao neatly started by Cro sier and so fortunately carried on by Bmlth, when he singled to left field and scored Crosier with the run which tied things up. New Orleans did nothing In the ninth, and Umpire Campau called the game when that Inning ended, alleging that It was too dark to play. It was 6:66 when he rendered his decision, nnd a couple of In nlnga more could eaally have been played. i Tommy Uughea waa getting stronger every minute, while Mauuel was apparently weakening. It looked like a cinch for At* lauta If the game had gone on until It was really too dark to play. But Cam* psu saw It otherwise, amt neither side put up much of a protest. The steady pitching of Tom Hughes, and the timely "ash work" of Crosier, Bid Smith and Fox had pulled the fat out of tho fire, and Atlanta bad more or leas cause to be pleased.

Orleans, Sept. 2.—The "Otto Jordnn case" will be heard September 17, two days after the Southern League season ends. Is doubtful If nnythlng will come of It Presumably It will be thrown out of court for lack of evidence. While the team was In New Orleana Otto, Secretary Ethridge and some local newspa- u went over to the court, had look at the famous rubber ball, and talked with the Judge. From what could be learned, the case Is regarded In a serio-comic (ami mostly the latter end of the hyphenated word light by everybody connected with the court liefore which It will be bean!. It Is the opinion that Jordan did the only possible thing in keep* Ing possession of the ball, ns the umpire re- fused to take the matter In Ids own hands, nnd It Is predicted on all aides that the case will be quietly smothered. Jordnn was torn with conflicting emotions to visit again the scene of his famous es capade nnd pointed out gleefully the cell lb which he wns confined, and the patrol wagon which he alleged wns the Identical one used In conveying him to the police station. 116 116 116 116 114 P.C. .623 .634 .491 .496 .478 .377 Plaved.

Hoffman: Unless appearances are more deceitful than usual, the ball now held by the New Or leans police authorities Is not a regulation ball which Is required to be used by the by-laws of the league. The possibilities that 4he ball has been "switched” since the time It wns taken away from Jordan, while remote, are i thy of consideration. It hnn been kept loose in a drawer of a desk tin the police station. Any one who hnd the run of the place could readily have pulled the boll out, sub stituted a dummy In Its place, mnde any rhnngc nnd slipped the ball back again. To hnve made a change the cover would have bad to be removed. Any one who desired to make any changes would hnve hail to take the cover off ami sew It back on another bull. Such a itunt Is possible, but far fro/ii probable. Anyway, there la also remote possibility that the hall Is not the Identical one which proved so "rubbery" In the famous game In which Manuel knocked the unexpected home However, there Is not it member of the Atlanta team who would not Uke to be present when the ball Is opened. One by-product of the dope factory In New Orleans during the rubber ball discus sion was the statement mnde by a New Orleans paper that Manager Mullaney of the Montgomery team stated’that he didn't get the rubber ball he had In his possession front New Orleans at nil, but that he got By PERCY WHITING New Orleans, Sept. 3.—Atlanta closed Its last road trip of fhe year by splitting a double-header with the Pelicans Sunday.
