THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. THURSDAY. JtXE 21, 1906.
TOM HUGHES HAS BEEN
ONLY WINNING PITCHER
Ex-New York American Has Captured the
Three Victories CQpped by Crackers
on Their Present Road Trip.
On Wednesday afternoon the Atlanta
team scored the third victory of the
present road trip. What happened to
the other seven games we refuse to
it)', except that one was forfeited by
the Atlanta team and in the other nix
the opposing teams made more runs
than the Cracker*.
Strange to relate, Hughes has been
the only pitcher who has won a game,
and he has won all thr.ee which he has
pitched. Every other pitcher in the
bunch has lost every one. Even the
Mighty Zellar, the best of the whole
bunch up to the time of the arrival of
Hughes, has faded away twice, once
at the hands of Hretlensteln and once
when Phillips whs the opposing pitcher.
Atlanta's “lost -try-one* run" luck
seems to have gone wrong on the
present trip. The Trackers did lose
one l-o game and one 2-0 game In
New Orleans, but the other games
which went wrong were all lost by
considerable margins.
On the trip thus far Atlanta has
made only In runs to her opponents
47, counting the forfeited game ns a
9 to 0 affair, ns It must be counted
unless the league decides otherwise.
Twice on the trip Atlanta has been
shut out, both times by New' Orleans,
and once the Trackers applied the
whitewash to Shreveport.
Atlanta has not been hitting os well
ns her opponents on the trip. During
the nine games, not counting the hits
in the forfeited game, the team has
swatted safely 59 times, or an average
of 6 6-9 to a game, while her oppo
nents have hit safely 77 times, or an
average of 8 5-9 to a game. Atlanta
has made 22 errors on the trip, or
nearly two and a half to the game.
The Atlanta team has three games In
Little Rock and then It returns homo.
If the team wins all three the standing
on the road trip will be six won and
seven lost, which will be a good aver
age for a road trip through tho West
with a crippled team.
On Monday the Atlanta team' opens
at home with Montgomery for three,
games. Next follows Birmingham for
three, and then Nashville for the same
number, two of which will be played
July 4.
If all goes well with the team the
night of the Glorious Fourth ought to
see the Trackers pretty well on the
road to the pennant. Tackling the
Eastern teams at home ought to be
the easiest kind of pudding and the
locals ought to pick up enough games
to put them pretty well up toward
the top.
ANOTHER WIN
FOR CRACKERS
HUGHES SCORES THIRD VICTORY
DURING PRESENT ROAD
TRIP OF TEAM.

noon at his aninsement resort at Red Klin

Bvers was officially the “Man with the

home run. after Hilly Smith had singled,

which scored two men. The rest of the
tenro was hitting well, hut the game was
not safe until the eighth, when Louck* was

Wedneaday morning W. L. Jonea, a
private detective, of Atlanta, returned
from New Orleane, where he hae been
Inveetlgating. on behalf of the Atlanta
Baseball Association, the charge that
New Orleans players Introduced a
'lively ball" into the game In New Or
leans last Friday. On hearing the re
port of the detective Chief Joyner,
preitdent of the Atlanta Baseball Asso
ciation, addressed a long letter to Wil
liam Kavanaugh, president of the
Southern League, stating the evidence
which he had secured and demanding
an Immediate and thorough Investiga
tion by the Southern League of the
charges of "dirty work" In New Or
leans.
In the report of Detective Jones he
states that he hae found 25 people In
New Orleane who will testify that. In
their opinion, the bnll In Ose -waa not
the regulation Reach ball but a "lively
ball' of some character; that he located
a man who claimed to know where
Frank kept his supply of lively halls
but who refused an offer of (20 to se
cure one. He also secured evidence
lending to show that Rlckert Intention
ally ran Into Jordan and that he an
nounced before the game that he was
going to put the Atlanta captain out'
of business. He also secured evidence
as to the existence of the metal plate
under the catchers box on the New
Orletns diamond, the object of which
Is said to be to add to the difficulties
of visiting catchers.
CHIEF JOYNER TALK8.
The report of Detective Jones Is one
of great Interest and It proves pretty
conclusively that dirty work of some
kind has been done by the baseball
people of the Crescent City. In speak
ing of the result of Mr. Jones' Investi
gation, Chief Joyner said; "Jones
found for ut that crooked things were
being done In New Orleans. He went
to that city Immediately after that for
feited game and stayed there until
Wedneaday. While there he posed as
a visitor from Qalnesvlllo and talked
with the players on both teams and
with hundreds of spectators at / the
game. What he found out will surprise
some of them, I guess. He said that
the better .close of people In New Or
leans were all down on the present
management and were threatening to
boycott baseball unless decent methods
were substituted for those now In use.
He sold that everybody .spoke most
highly of the action of the Atlanta
team and that all of them condemned
Charley Frank for hla action In having
Otto Jordan taken to police station
In » patrol wagon and herded In with
u lot of common crlmfnals.
“I want President Kavanaugh to
know Just what Jones found out and
In my letter to him I offered to send
Jones over to Little Rrock or to send
his report over there or to do anything
which would get the facts before him.
We have spent considerable money In
going to the bottom of this thing and

New Orleans Man Praises
Loyalty of Atlanta Fans
we want a complete Investigation by

THE BALL8 IN EVIDENCE.
Chief Joyner wan disappointed that
Detective Jones failed to secure one of
the lively balls.' “I think that we have
one, though, which will do for evidence."
he said. "Both Secretary Ethridge and
Captain Jordan think that the ball
which the .police are holding In New
Orleans Is the Identical one which Jor
dan tried to secure and which caused
his arrest. There Is a possible chance
that It may not be the one but we
think and hope that It Is.. Both Jor
dan and Ethridge wrote their names on
It and unless It was changed right after
Jordan was arrested then we have the
•lively ball.’
"I hope that the report that Mullaney
found one of those 'live balls' and
sent It to President Kavanaugh la true.
If It. la, that evidence will be pretty
strong, added to what we have secured.
Anyway It Is up to President Kavan
augh and the league now and an In
vestigation Is In order.”
It Is certainly President Kavanaugh's
next move.

Villa Rlcs. Cia., June 21. — Will you kindly
lli*w me space on your *i«>rtlng page to-
wake n correction? I notice that In Mon
days issue of The Georgian Mr. Forsyth ! Orleans fa us.
claluts that on last Thutsday (June 141 Aus
tell took n second game frotu Villa Utca bjr
the score of 4 to 2. The fact Is. we started
play « live liming game, but after two
Innings It grew so dark we were unable
to play longer and the umpire called the
game ami made no decision, which, of
course, he could not have done. IVc will
admit that the score was 6 to ? in favor of
Austell, but there U no such thing as a
two Inning game t.f loll. Mr. Forsyth also
claims that th** score In the first game was
9 to 3. This la n mistake, ns the yffid*!
letlc park that there whs no home team t
cause the crowd rooted as much for the vis
itors at times as for the Pelicans. This has
Iweu nearly always the mae to a certain
extent In thfa city, but It appears to the
native that many hundred knockers werw
born In the past year.
The comparison of 1 this state of nffalrs
with that at Atlanta developed an appro
priate line of dlacusslou. and It reflected
net the least credit on the loyally of New
4,000 at a Sunday game. That’s loyalty,
ami It Is characteristic of the city. If au
Atlnutnu spoke III sgnlnst anything that
related to Atlanta he would Ik* tarred and
feathered In twenty minutes. It’s not the
atrongeat In the-league by any means, but
It will likely lie right there lighting for the
pennant all right."
••But the Atlanta team only has the re
markable streaks oil the home grounds,"
interrupted one of the press uieu.
"And that’s where the loyal rooter comes
In." rejoined the operator. "If they didn’t
get so much eueotiragemeut they wouldu't
win mi many games at home and the result
would l*e that tl»e Atlanta- team would
rest near the Imttmu of the list. You can’t
get around the fact that cocoofagejasftt

If 1 had been In Atlanta when the New

"If the local team has a disastrous run
on the home grounds the knocker* will be ■
largely to blame. It does a lot of good to
have a few knockers, because arguments
crop out and they result In more Interest

New York, June 21.— A big horse race has
the town by the qnra today, for no loss than
the Suburban—tjie moat democratic feature
of the season—la to he run this afternoon at
Hhcopshead. From every walk of the city's
buay Hfe.the famous event Is drawing n tre
mendous attendance, for no other rare la so
popular with all classes as the Suburban
Handicap. V
By trolley, steam car nnd “L" trains a
veritable army Is moving out toward the
acene of the race, until by the time the
well-trained and sensitive thoroughbred en
trants parade their sllk-garbcd riders to the
starting post one-of the-largest assemblages
the world lias ypt seen Will be on band,
ready to acclaim the winner.
"If the weather, etays clear and fine fight
up to the opening of racing we expect 45,-
OW race-goers down there," declared Rac
ing Secretary Bradford early today. The
Suburban Handicap is for 3-yenr-oltls and
up to 114 miles, with a purse of $20,000, of
fered to the owners of tho first three horses
to finish, rlx: $16,000 to the winner, with
$2,600 to the second horse and $1,500 to the
third hone. Jt will be run as the fourth
event on the program.
Some of the pdtridnns of the turf have

However, the prospect of an exciting
struggle nml the opportunity of lending n
hand tlila afternoon to n real high-class
thoroughbred In the moment of triumph Is
remote Indeed,“ for there are no really first-
class horses engaged in the field, which Is
the smallest In the history of all Buburlwn
