12 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. ATLANTA 7 MEMPHI8 5 Special (o The Georgian. •Memphis. June 21.— 1 “Turning (he Tahirs: or.

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 COTTON 8TATE8. CLUBS— Played. Won. Loat P.C. .58* Baton Rouge Meridian . . Jackson . . . tlulfport . . Mobile . . .

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. REVENGE NOT HIS. Tli* sympathies of tho New Orleatia baseball writers have t»eei» very umch with Atlanta hi her recent argument with the New Orleans baseball uianuse went, am! the following article, which nppeurril In a reeeut nnmber of The New Orleana Item, cloudy shows the opinion of welbluforuietl New Orleans writers, aw! fans about Atlanta crowds awl the »n|i|mrt they give their home team: By HAM. tu New Orleans Item. An Intereating conversation came up In the press stand at the baseball park the other day when the patriotism of fans tu different el ties In the Koutheru League waa discussed. Th conversation waa prompted by the Iw partiality of the local audience toward the local team which sometimes went as far ns prejudice against the team. In -the Atlanta ••••* w-rle.

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.

"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 ami enthusiasm, but when a lot of men knork without reason It taxes n sensible man’a patience.

By J. 8. A. MACDONALD. By Private Leased Wire. 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 won the Suburban Handicap, and perhnps the most gtlrrlntf pages In taring lore nre gained from the many, renewals of the fixture side© Its Ihceptlon way -back In-1884, ;when General Monroe—"Old Glass Eye," ns ;the' wigs In tljat day called this sterling campaigner—won it. 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 Handicap. Only eleven horse* were en tered over night. Francis It. Hitchcock, steward of the Jockey Club, will probably enjoy the honor of sending the favorlto to the post In hla Hamburg 4-year-old colt Dandelion, winner of the Travers stakes at Knratoga last sea son and the runner-up to Tokalon, the ■••rent fluky 2S-to-l shot, winner of ..Ml Brooklyn handicap.
