ANOTHER MYTH HAS EXPLODED FRANK’S DREAM THAT HE HELP- ED JORDAN OUT OF TROUBLE PR0VE8 A MISTAKE. The pleasant little Action of Charley Prank's that It waa through him that Otto Jordan secured hla liond after the "rubber ball Incident" In New Orleans proved to be without foundation—like the average myth. The writer talked with the man In New Orleans who furnished tin* money, and he states not only that Frank had nothing to do with It but that hla action In putting up the coin nearly coat him hla Job taking tickets at Charley Frank's park. Otto Jordan waa Bore proper when he saw what a Marietta paper had to say about Nap Rucker and hla connection with the Atlanta team while Otto was managing It. "I’ll bet a hundred dollars to a tin dime that Kurker doesn't make good," said Ott# •They can rail me a bonehead If they want to. That doesn't change It at all. Rut Rucker la no pitcher and what they will do to him In the big league will be something awful." "Yea," chimed In George Winters, "and I'd Ilka some of tbnt bet, too. When he geta to pitching In the big league some big guy will get on the sldo lines and call him a 'blankety-blank Ilooaler blankety-blank,' and Nap will go to pieces. He never will stick." Artie Rrouthers Is sore st Charley Frank good and proper, nnd says he will not be back with "that Dutchman" next year If be can help It. Brouthers Is a good ball player, but he baa not been showing It In hla games with New Orleans. Crosier snd Jordan, the "candy moguls," have decided to stay In baseball during the rest of the season, owing to the fact that their new store will not lie ready for use until after the middle of September. When the season ends, however, the "aodn mer chants" will get busy at their new Job. LITTLE WINNER8 STILL WIN. THOMAS WINS FROMMELLODY By Private Leased Wire.

Goldfield, Nev., Sept. 4.-—Joe Gann !a lightweight champion of the world. Yenterday he defeated Battling Nelson In a fight which went 42 round*. The doclnton wae given on a foul, but the blow which Neteon landed on Gans' groin wae evidently a deliberate foul and wan presumably hit to save Neleon from the knock-out which eeemed In evitable. • Gans had the beet of It all the way, though Neleon fought with raro pluck and furc.ed the fighting as long na his strength lasted. Nelson received $22,- 600 as hie shnre of the purse and Gans received $11,000. About 8,600 persons saw the fight. By GEORGE SILER. By Private Lon«od Wire. Goldfield, Nev'., Sept. 4.—It waa un- quentlonably one of the greateet fights since the first boxing glove was made, marred only by the rough work of Nelson. I never saw two gamer or greater fighters In action, and though the bout terminated In a very unsatisfactory manner, there can certainly question In the minds of those who saw the fight that tho best inan won. though he won on a foul. But for the fact that Gans never appeared to he hurl, excepting possi bly In two or three rounds In the twenties, 1 would never have permitted Nelson to carry on hla foul tuctlcs as long as I did. But ns It was u grand battle nnd as Nelson's constant but ting and roughing did not appear to materially Injure Gans' chanees I nat urally did not want to deprive the crowd of the ring buttle of a century. Gans fought the kind of u battle that makes friends wlth„the crowd, and therefore a clean, sportsman-like fight. His ring generalship wae without parallel. When weary he permitted Nelson to hug nnd wrestle, but he let Nelson do tho work and husbundod his own strength. When he felt that he had rested he cut loose w*lth the finest exhibition of clean and accurate hit ting that I have ever seen. Deliberate anti Incessant fouling Is not an Indication of courage, but taking the beating that Nelson did and coming bnok for more, coming back so strongly that he several times seemed a winner, certainly la. As to the final foul which cost the fight, I am compelled to side with the great majority, who believe that the foul was deliberate and premeditated. Nelson was beaten at the time and J do not think could have lasted much longer. WHAT NOLAN SAY8. By Billy Nolan. By Private Ixxised Wire. Goldfield.

My business Is fighting. 0 0 and all I want to do now Is some 0 0 more of It with Gans as the other 0 0 party In the fun. Everybody who 0 0 Is any Judge of condition knows 0 O that Gans could not possibly have 0 O lasted more than three rounds 0 0 longer, and I felt as though I 0 0 could fight all night. O 0 Heferec Slier says that I hit 0 0 Gans low, and what he says goes 0 0 for me. I agreed to let Slier act O 0 a* Judge In the battle, and I don't 0 O wnnt to go behind what he says. O 0 But I certainly was surprised 0 O when he ordered me to my corner. O O I was sure that I had landed 0 0 square In Gans' stomach. That 0 0 was the spot I was playing for In O O the closing rounds, and every time O 0 I landed I could see that It hurt O 0 the ''dingy.'' I saw a good open- 0 0 Ing, and 1 let go a wallop that I 0 0 hoped would end the show, and O 0 the next thing I knew the fight O O was Gans'. 0 0 Nobody can tell me that I can O 0 not beat this fellow. I will admit 0 0 that he gave tnc a harder fight O O than I thought he would, but I O O know how to fight him now, and O O when we get together again I will O 0 bet my clothes that I stop him In- O O side of twenty-five rounds. O 0 I want to take back one thing I O 0 said about Gans some time ago— 0 0 that he 1s not game. He and Jim- O O my Britt are two ot the gameat O 0 men I ever faced, and 1 thought 0 O both of them were yellow until I O 0 got them Into a finish fight. I 0 0 beat Britt and I can beat Gans. O O I had him licked when I hit him 0 0 too low, or they say I did any- O O how, nnd I lost. About this but- 0 0 ting nonsense, I am getting sick 0 0 of that. Because I keep rushing 0 O my man all the time they say that 0 0 I am deliberately ramming him. 0 O 0 0000000000000000000000000O YANKEE BOATS BEAT GERMANS Bj Private Leaned Wire.

The exhibition nt Piedmont park Monday afternoon may not have looked very pro fessional to the fans who had loafed all the morulng. eaten a nice dluuer and then gone peacefully to the park. It was another story with the Crackers, They pulled out of New Orleans early Sun day night, after having played n tiresome double-header on n terribly hot afternoon. All night they fought heat, mosquitoes nnd Insomnia In the ••night marish" ride from New Orleans to Montgomery. As luck would have It, the trnin spilt lu the middle late Sunday night when a draw head was pulled out. nnd ns a result of that mls- chnnce and others tho train was neurly four hours Jnto by breakfast time.

Every man went Into the game Monday afternoon ns hungry ns a tramp nnd the game they played was creditable, under the circum stances. With the rest that cnine Monday night the team ought to brace up a bit. The line-up used Monday will probably lie tried again Tuesday and perhaps through the rest of the week, though Wallace may be switched Into center field. season. Hoffman will continue on third, nnd Archer Is likely to nave some Adding to do. Jack Evers will be given a rest. Billy Smith expects that spade will land Tuesday night or Wednesday. After a day or so of rest ho will he pitched. Nothing has been heard of Bug Raymond, He was ordered to report here, but htl not shown up. New Orleans baseball writers will t* greatly surprised to know that Mi turned uj ‘ * * * game Crescent .... , that he was not coming back to tho At lanta team again this season. The New York Americans are working hard to get Tom Hughes back to flnluh out tho season with them, but Billy Smith rnn't see It that way, nnd the redoubtable Tom my will be there nt the finish. Manager Smith nnd Tommy McCullough, secretary of the Memphis club, have itpoa worrying a bit oyer the question of the game they owe the league. The rules of the league require that If teams can not play two games on Labor Day they must play the gnme or games which they were forced to postpone that day on some other occa sion. This Is necessary because the lengn# rules require that the receipts of two gnmn Labor Day—like those of July 4—bo given to the league and divided equally among the eight teams. Billy Smith wants to nlsy off tho game Wednesday morning, and haa wired Judge Kavanaugh, asking for the permission of the league to play at that time.

Goldfield, Nev., Sept. 4.—Till* Is the way that Joe Gnus won the light-weight championship In the forty-second round of one of the greatest bnttles on record. (tans, who had been getting the better of It, Ktarted the round with a left to the fare and they clinched. Nelson had his head on Guns' shoulder, nnd his arms down.
