12 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. THURSDAY, JULY 26 1 906. CHARLEY FRANK HAS LANDED EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING AND NOW THE FUN BEGINS Nashville Gets Duggan Away From Billy Smith Timor Dtiffgnu fo**« to N**tivllle. N'Wr, what d*j# think of that? Tim n.an Hilly Smith brought from Ma rlon. tlm man Kt-crrfary FarrHI of tin* Na- , t Iona I Aaanrtatlon onlrred hack to Dayton. In-on Wight from Dayton l»jr Mike ' Tinn nn.l will play with Nashville. ■ " h**n Managor Smith board alwnit It he wn« *o nnrprlH^I he nearly fainted. •Well, I’ll be Mowed,*’ an Id the manager. “If I orer beard the like of thnt before. All the time I waa wiring offer* to Dayton nud tearing my hair the Dayton people were framing It up with Mike Finn. Why they •hotiM Ml Dugagn to Naahrllle Inatend of Atluuta I don't know, I'm aure; but that la whnt ha a happened.” Duggan Is not going to Naahrlle yet—not by several miles. Homebody owes him for his last three weeks' work and In* Intends to mnke Xnahrjlle pny him that money provble«l he piea there. Hut he la not dead anxious to go, anyway. He I* well satisfied with Atlanta, and he has no longing for the bnrg of the CnmlierliMid. Aside from the arrival of the news of the Duggan deni. nothing mnrh has happened lu loenl iMiaeltall elrrles. Almost everybody of taaetall Importnnee la waiting for the opening game ngalnat Frank and hi* men. “There will ta no trouble nt the park,” said Chief Joyner. ”We will throw every possible safeguard around the men, and 1 mil sure thnt there will lie no iiuplenannt Incidents. I do not think tkit 'anything Is planned, but Just to lie on the anfe side we will have out an extra number of police." Crackers Win in Best Game Seen in Atlanta in Years THREE NEW ORLEANS STARS Wednesday’s battle In which the FIrates bit the dust to the dirge of 1 to 0 was, perhaps, the greatest exhibition of base I bill ever seen In Atlanta. Fielding of j Uaxsllng radiance liegnn the battle and In- I greased Inning by Inning In lailllaney until the eyea of 1.100 fnna were blinded to the grandeur of the work being done by elgh- ! teeu athletes, grappled In terrific strug- • fie. Impossible plays l»ccame common. Circus catches tiers me trite. Hky-rocket stabs be came as cheap as dirt, and lightning throws no mnro to be applauded than a third-class pitcher wanning tip before a game. The crowd was, at the end of the game, surfeited with the sensational, satiated with the superb. To pay tribute to the fielding *of the fthreveport team, It need only be an Id that eleven hard hits were made off I.ee, and only one ran resulted. And that If the l*lrates had played Just an ordinarily good errorless game, the tall twlrler would have been massacred. At least, five drives .which, nine times out of ten or even forty- bine times ont of fifty, would have been termed Impossible to field, were killed by King. Hess and Kennedy. This highway rnhtary came every time when Atlanta bad men on liases. *Tve l»een In the game fifteen years," said Billy ftmlth, “but ( never liefore saw any auch work as the Shreveport team did.” On the other hand, the Atlanta tenui played a magnificent game, errorless, fault less. brilliant. Ever*. Fox. Jordan, Crosier, Childs—nil shone with unusually clever Stunts, but— Those two catches by King, that stop by lleys 4 Jhat nonpareil work of Kennedy! — 'They lfngrt'lii the memory like the short fielding of Fred Ely, way hark In 1WS, like the sprinting stabs of lieu Koehler two years ago! To get down to the play— Doc Childs pitched for Atlanta. He was ■ Invincible, except liy the sixth Inning, when I>* got a single nnd Kennedy n double. Fine play by Jim Fox. Jack Evers nnd Otto Jordan then prevented any damage. Other wise, Doc waa aa steady ns Gibraltar, nud Just as fmpregnnhfc to nfsnuff, ffe went In the game with his nrm still sore, but .he had everything. Hpeed to burn, per fect roulrol and sharp-breaking curves put the Pirates down and out. Itut for his support, Lee would have thought he Waa lu nn abattoir. His de livery was driven all over the field, elcveu safe smashes eluding the ubiquitous Pi rates. - Huilng by Inning, the two tsams battled . In fruitless endeavor until the last half of • the ninth. Fox begnn by driving out, 1 Evans' to Absteln. Wallace came next. ; ami. heeding the scornful cries of “Htaud bp to th^ plats.” waded Into n fast one and sent^t Bailing to deep right center. * He pulled up on second. Evers fanned.

IMe kicked against orders, but Billy Insisted, nud Archer came*tip for the thankless Job of substitute batter. He fanned at two, nnd then poked one tatween Kennedy nnd Hess. The gnme was over.

Who cAiuc to tat No Transferred Games Go,” Says Kavanaugh to Baugh A letter has been received by Presi dent Baugh, of the local association, from lYerideut Knvaunugh. announcing that uo more transferred games will take place during the present league season. The letter la In response to one written President Kavanaugh some days ago rela tive to the rumor that Uttlg Bock had lieen ’ordered to play certain games III New Orleaus which were arbeduled for Little Bock. President Kavanaugh explains that, he has authorised no trsusfers and ncknowl- edges that he realises this action would not ta In his power. He reviews the action taken on the matter by the league officials nt the hat meeting. From appearances It now looks very much like President Bnteuinii, of the IJttle Rook club, desired the transfer, owing to flnnn• elnl reasons. It Is known that Manager Zimmer, of the Little Bock club, has re ceived a letter from President Bateman orderlug him to play the games In New Orleans which were scheduled In Mttu Bock August 8, 7 and 8. Of course <ia President Kavanaugh has taken a.tl„i ta the matter, tbo order of Mr. Bateman *ui ta Invalid. President Bateman Jnat acted too quick, possibly not thinking that the would have to act on Buck a matter The matter hat been sett Ini. bower* and the faus and patrons of the ^ms can rest assured that uo games will i* transferred In the future. It Is ver* protable that prertw Baugh will write President Kavnnsufh. asking some reasou why New Orleans nud 8hrereport were allowed to piar a transferred game lu New Orleans io m * weeks ago. President Baugh do?* not know the real circumstances of the mat. ter, but desires Information. If the was a dell tars te transfer.
