L. Jonea, a private detective, of Atlanta, returned from New Orleans, where he has been Investigating, on behalf of the Atlanta Baseball Association, tho charge that New Orleans players Introduced a "lively ball” Into tht game In New Or leans last Friday. On hearing the re- po« of the Selective Chief Joyner, presldent of the Atlanta Baseball Asso ciation, addrsaaed a long letter to wil liam Kavanaugh, president of the Southern 1.1 a sue, stating the evidence which he haq secured and demanding an Immediate and thorough Investiga tion by the Southern League of the charges of “dirty work” In New Or leans.

He also secured evidence tending to show that Rlckert Intention ally ran Into Jordan and that he an nounced before the game that he was going to put tha Atlanta captain out of business. He also secured evidence aa lo the existence of the metal plate under the ratrher’e box on the New Orleans diamond, the object of which la said to ba to add to the difficulties nt visiting catchers. - - CHIEF JOYNER TALKS. The report of Detective Jones Is one of great Interest and It proves pretty conclusively that d(rty wyrk of some kind haa been done by the baseball poopla of tho Crescent City.' 1 fit speak ing of the result of Mr. Jonea' Inveatl- gntlon, Chief Joyner said; "jonea found for uS< that'Crooked things were being dona In New Orleans. He went to that city Immediately after that for feited game and stayed there until Wednesday. While there he posed aa u visitor from Gainesville end talked with the players on both tepms and W'lth hundreds of spectator* at tha game. What he found out will surprise some of them, I gueea. He said that the better class 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 thosMpiA,ln use. He said that' evtrybody vspoke most highly of the. action ofAthe Atluhta team and that all of.tlram condemned Charley Frank for hlr action 'In hkvtng Otto Jordan taken to police station In a patrol wagon and herded In with a lot of common criminals. "I want President Kavanaugh to know Just what Jonas found out and In my letter to him I offered to send Jones over to. Little Rroek or to send his report over there or to do anything which would get the facta before him. We have spent considerable money In going to the bottom of this thing and we want a complete Investigation by the league." THE BALLS IN EVIDENCE. Chief Joyner was disappointed that Detective jonea failed to secure one of the lively balls. '1 think that we have ons, though, which will do for evidence,” he said. “Both Secretary Ethridge anil Captain Jordan think that the ball wjtlch 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 ono but we think and hope Hint It la Both Jor dat) anil Ethridge wrote their names on I* mil unli'K" It it us Changed right after Junta'll was arrested then we have the •lively hall.’ ”1 hope that the report that Mullaney found one of those 'lire balls’ and sent It to President Kavanaugh I* true. If It Is, that evidence will be pretty strong, added to what we have secured. Anyway It Is up to. President Kavan- auglt and the lengue now and an In vestigation Is In order.” I ! ■ I* Ills certainly President Kavanaugh's next move.

On Wednesday afternoon the Atlanta team scored tha third victory of the present read trip. What happened to me other seven games we refuse to say. except that one was forfeited by »he Atlanta team and tn tho other six I he opposing teams made more runs than the Crackprs. Strange to relate. Hughes haa been the only pitcher who-haa won a game, and he haa non.all three which-he has pitched. Every' other pitcher In tho bunch has lost every one. Even the Mighty Zellar, the best of the whole bupch up to the time of tpe arrival of Hughes, has faded away twice, once at the hands of Bretlensteln and once when Phllllpe was iho opposing pitcher. Atlanta's ’lost-by-one-run” luck seems toi hare gone wrohg bn the present trip. The Crackers did- lose one 1-0 game and one' 2-0 game In Orleans, but the other games which went wrong were ’ell lost by considerable margins. On the trip thus far Atlanta has made only 18/ runs to her opponents 47, counting the forfeited game sh n 9 to. 0 , affair* as,,It must be counted unless the league decides otherwise. Twice on .the trip Atlanta has. been shut out, both times by New Orlean. and once the Crackers applied th « whitewash ;to Shreveport. Atlanta has not been hitting ns ns her opponents on the trip. Purine the nine games, not counting ihc hit. In the forfeited game, the te, lm t, swatted safely 59 times, or an avers™ of t 5-4 to a game, while her nenta have hit safely 77 times. average of 8 5-9 to a game. Atlanta has made .2 errors on the trio or nearly two and a half to the game The Atlanta team has three games In Little Rock and then It returns hnm. If the team wins all three the stnndins on the road trip will be six w„ n and ■even lost, which will be a good aver, age for a rond trip through the West with tv crippled team. On Monday the Atlanta team opens nt 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 wtttf the team ths night of the Glorious Fourth ought lo see the' Crackere pretty well on the road to the pennant. Tackling the pastern teams at home ought to he the easiest kind of pudding and the I locals ought to pick up enough gatnee to put them pretty well up toward the top.
