Atlanta (s negotiating with Dayton 'fur the purchase of Kltner Duggan, lending pitcher of the late lamented Interstate League, nnd now with the Atlanta team. When Secretary Farrell of the Nations! Association ruled that Duggan belonged to Dayton nnd ordered Hilly Smith to send him back there, llllly nt oiice wired D/iytou asking for terms. He 1ms not heard as yet. hut Is In hopes tbnt he can close a deal for the man. .(ttlc Rock comes the news that Judge Knrsnaugh has no Immediate luteu tlon of coming to Atlanta. Where the minor that he wns arose Is not known. Why ho Isn’t is also not known. The Little Rock correspondent of The Atlanta Georgian was naked to Inquire of President Knvnnnugh If he Intended to tnke any nctlon ngainst Buckley ou the charge that he used foul nnd profane lan guage while umpiring In league games. ( His reply wns: "Judge Knvnnnugh says no formal rhorges have been preferred ngnlust Buckley. Unless there are there will be no Investigation." It Is understood that Manager Finn made some kick against Buckley’s language and Pilcher Fisher of Shreveport stntes tbnt he has written Judge Knvnnaugh a long letter on the question. However, nothing lu the wny of formal charges have been made, and It Is prohnhle that, unless some action Is taken, Buckley .will go hts wny un molested, unless perhaps Tom Fisher car ries out his threat of slaughtering him when he gets down In Shreveport. When the charges were made around the league that the Memphis team was throw ing games to New Orleans (teenuse Frank bnil ordered the club to do go the writer wns a little Incllurd to hoot at the Idea. Games are not usually thrown In this or anr other league, nnd It was hard to see, with the hitter feeling ngslnst Charley Frank that exists In Memphis, how the management of the Bluff t tty club would dare to do such a thing, even If It wanted .. game looked n title fishy the Memphis Commercial Ap- ... .mud. with almost direct that the game wns thrown, the nf- to. But Stmdsr'i nnd now that t twnl Is nt hnud. charges that the gi— - ... fslr begin* to assume another aspect. The Commercial Appeal’s sporting page Is the moat conservative lit the whole league, nnd Its editor, T. G, Honrborongh, can be relied on to give exact accounts of what hap pened.

GOTHAM ICE TRUST OFFERS ITS BOOKS Here are a few of the things that the Commercial Appeal of Monday tins to say about HUnday’s game: "More tbnn 6,000 people, some 4,800 paid admissions being Included, wore humiliated nt the midden turn of affairs In which a hen-pecked second baseman, n disappointed pitcher who bad worked hard for the spoils nnd n disgruntled catcher euncted the role of village cut-ups. "Suggs disappeared after pitching to five Pelicans In the ninth, during which time five opportunities were presented to retire Pelicans without n run. Careless nnd prlml- mil support made Huggs sick and he left the green with the audience dubbing him ‘Hard Luck George.’ "Ats flipped n fly that any ordinary sec- ntid busomnn might have handled, but Plass wns commanded to race under the lilt, aud muffed lt r after a hard chase to the edge of the diamond. O’Brien then tnpped n high bounder over Suggs and Louis Hnlflt was again confronted with the opportunity to redeem himself. He not only failed dismally by falling to make sure of Ats with an outstretched foot, which was long enough to cause the runner’s force out, but he caused many n heartache by tossing the bnll so wide to Nlcholls that an out wns out of the question. It Was a plain attack of what'ball tossers refer to ns 'baseball non compus.' "It was another pop-up toward second base, but far out of Plass' reach this time. It required but a few steps of the second basemsn to reach the spot where Phillips' fly wns descending, but JlnJdt wheeled round nml round, until drunk from dlisl- ness, nnd when he reached the spot, the sphere fell with n sickening thud while Atx registered the run that tied. " "Rlekert was next up, and connected to n safe spot In left, scoring 0*Brlen nnd Phillips. Thiel fielded the ball home promptly In the hope of getting Phillips, nml Rlekert dashed for second on the throw. It was then that Big Ed Hurlhurt committed an aet that may take many mouths for the funs to forget, by delib erately throwing over , the hen-t>ccked llnhlt s head, permitting Rlekert to pro* eeed home with the fourth rim of the In ning. nnd the run that really won. "There were many dopesters trying to place the blame on the guilty after the (nuie, and many opinion* were advanced from the beet friends of the locate con demning Suggs nnd llnrlbnrt. For Habit, nothing but condemnatory sympathy for u second baseman traveling In too fast com pony was heard. "Manager Babb wns not In a happy «frame of mind after the contest, but when asked If any suspensions were In store for the ones who had committed breaches of dis cipline, sahl that ho could not say. "The gift of the game to the Pelicans produced many angry murmurs from adrnlr ers of the Memphli, and some were sc caustic lu tholr comment as to vow thqt the Memphli hadn't tried their best. Such adverse turn of affairs falling on top of such a brilliant showing In Atlanta seemed a reversal In baseball form quite hard for the closest of students to fathom, hut only the hot heads emitted remnrks after thoroughly coled out that would reflect on the playing at any atnge, and then even they must hnvo been thoroughly convinced that had a deliberate attempt * l»eeu made to allow the Pelicans to win, the Memphli could not possibly have been guilty of such u imre-faced deal ss they committed. "Habit's shortcomings were so flagrantly flavored with odor not nt all fragrant, nml JIurlburt’s weird throw tn center was so - palpably plain aud cold-bloodedly executed that the Idea seema stty that the gnine was not on the level. Still the huge family of fans are Indnlglug In plain talk nnd “ recent (ax ways of several connected baseball In the South Is held responsible for the state of affairs. "Two weeks hare passed now since Breltensteln onenely attacked Party nnd bluestreaked Bed Him atmosphere with such n torrent of ohsceuity ond abuse to hoot that he wns fined In police court. Yet, through schemes nnd refusals to tell the truth, President Havana ugh has been prevented from puulshlng Breltensteln. llrelteufteln has not been punished. He has pitched three games since, sud the public, or, rather, the eighteen hundred or more present the day of thi* assault, are probably ridiculing the report made to President Knvnimugb that the affair was exagger ated. Thai a player as guilty as Breltensteln J proceed to celebrate a semi-monthly nnulversnry without having been punished Is probably no more mystery than why Hurlbnrt is allowed to throw the ball nt will to any part of the grounds on occa sions when things are not going to please him. lie has been accused of aiming nnd hitting the outfield this year at Birming ham nnd Shreveport.
