Atlanta, Oa.. August ft, 1906.
Judge W. M. Kavanaugh. Prcablent Mouth-
eru Association of Baseball Clubs, Little
Kock, Ark.:
l»ear Ulr—lit answer to your statement
that Charley Frank hail demanded $300

New Orleans-out of which grew the arrest
of Otto Jordan and the forfeiture of the
game to New Orleans by the umpire, you
will recall that 1 wrote you that at the

subject, ws desired that Charley Frank's
conduct be Investigated, on account of the
uae of rubber balls In that game, na well
as In a game against the Montgomery club.
Yon replied that you would call a meet

Ject, but that you had "set on foot on In

you considered New Orleana at neutral a

for saying that many people believe that
Frank. In • measure, enjoys special priv

extra games on hla home diamond against
the weakest team In the league, which
practically amounts to a gift to him of

Charleston, 8. IV Aug. 9.-LAt tendance at
basclmll gniuc* In Charleston has dwindled
to an edge. because of the general dissatis
faction with the itiniiAgcme”?. Fender has
tried out thirty thrc«*>ujcn, and now haa
a team of twelve, with.oiily three pitchers.
The directors of the local team are pretty
well "busted” by the experiments of ren
tier, nnd the team has by no means played
winning ball. Morris was sold to Havan
an h for a small consideration, and there Is
s feeling among the Charleston fans thnt
they have Itocn played with on all allies.
Humors are out that the team franchise
haa been offered to Bronthera of New Or
leans. and also thnt It Is being looked at by
the street railway people of Charleston, itl
though tills bns not lieen verified. It
rather a certainty thnt there will be
change of owners of the Charleston aggre
gation next year.
An offer for Turner by Savannah haa

clares thnt he wtll not sell any more pln/era

lie will secure Wenlg nnd Foster, of Dar
lington, In the South Cnrollnn State
league, after August 18, when the season
of that organisation closes.
so notortcus thnt It la fresh In the minds
of every I only.
We wish, therefore, to withdraw our re-
J iieat for an Investigation of Frank’s con*
uct, because It would pratmbly end In a
farce. We are especially tnordl to with
draw our request for this Investigation. In
view of the fact that you write tne thnt
you have "set on foot an Independent In
vestigation. and have not been able to find
anything on which to Itaae an action
against the New Orleaus club." If that
Is yotir’ opinion. It Is unnecessary for ua
to go any further.
Another thing which moves, ns to drop
the matter Is that you prefer to have the
matter heard In New Orleans. In all can-
dor, we submit that New Orleans
Jng than AttanPa would be. During such
an Investigation Atlanta might become per
sonally unpleasant ts Frank on account of
the feeling among the people here at his
conduct, and the tame would doubtless !*e

itatlve there..
that ray letter waa

practically composed of tightly wound mb*
ber strings. Ws presume Mr. Clark Miller,
who |»realded In your office In your ab
settee, acquainted you with these facta;
and If, as president of the league, you do
not rare to go Into the matter, nnd as the
Montgomery team has no complaint
make, we have decided not to be tenponsl
ble for an Investigation. Moreover, prac
tically every newspaper la the Southern
longue has emu in eh ted on the Montgom
ery affair, as well its the Atlanta game.
However, !f you desire, as president of
the league, to tnke up and vlgoroualy, * *
ly and Impartially Investigate and t
these charges against (Jharley Frank, we
will taka' pleasure In furnishing yon the
fnefa tn the Montgomery, aa well aa the
Atlanta Incidents, furnishing you the
names of witnesses, ami doing all we enn
to throw all itosslhle light on the matter.
Aa to Frank's claim against ua for the
$300 penalty, we deny that we owe It either
iorally or under any rule of haaehall.
Our players state that they did not re
fuse to go on with the game, and that, sft
er Jordan's srrest. the game was forfeited
by the umpire. The removal of one man
fram the game, when his team mntes are
on the ground, ready and aide to finish
the game, la no ground for g forfeiture.
Frank's demand of this technical penalty
f ua ts not right, and every one who tin
derstands the matter knows It. We think
aud we believe that the food peopu
New Orleans and every fair-minded, e
sportsman wtll consider Frank's demand
comes with poor grace, after hts malicious
action In having Jordan arrested and
locked up. ami after the manner In which
wc opened out gates and welcomed him
* team Inst year when driven t
■mute »y yellow’ fever. If Frank had ,.m%
any money by the forfeiture. It might be
different, lie had to return no money to
patrons, for the game went seven or eight
tunings and be got the benefit of winning
the game In the percentage column. Hhy-
lock. la his demand for hi* pound of flesh,

By Private Leased Wire.
San Francisco, * Aug. 9.—Eddie Graney,
who went to Ogden-In the hope of Inducing
Battling Netaon to box In.this city Instead
of at Goldfield, Nev., fa lied- In his mission
nnd returned to Kan Francisco last night.
tlranej did not appear to be greatly crest
fallen over hla lack of success. It seems
that he saw Tex Klcknrds at Iteno while
on his way to X)gden, and from what IUcfl-
nrds told him mads up his mind that there
was no chance thnt San Francisco could
secure the contest unless the relief commit
tee agreed that the funds at-bis disposal
be converted Into a parse for the fighters.
•Do you know how much money I've col-
leeted for this fight?” asked Tex Rickards
of the little horseshoer. v . v
"I heard you had gathered up $30,000,"
replied Graney.
"I've got $92,000. and Goldfield Is going to
get that match If I have to offer It all,”
said Rickards, whereupon Grauey wilted.

Augusta. Ua.. Aug. 9.—It seems the report
thnt Back hud the "D. T.’a” was crentlr
exaggerated. As a matter of fact. It Is n »w
believed here that the once-great player Is
mentally unbalanced.
Beck was signed by Manager Ranstck Rut-
urdny and he reported for duty In Tues
day’s game* He mods two very costly er
rors. but during the game and before it
started It was teen tbst he was tailoring un
der some mental strain. He had ideas to
the effect.that "sixteen people were buried
under the home plate,” and that Castro,
the shortstop for Nashville, together with a
band t\f bandits, was after him with Jauk
knives nnd atlllettoes.
Yestertlny morning, while In his room,
still under the mental strain, be thought
- band of nihilists was after him. He made
Jump for the outer world and went
through the window before Mrs. Beck could
stop him. He fortunately hit the wires and
know when I was In the room with Berk
this morning he looked out on Broad street
and said: *There la Castro and his bunch
out there after me;' but I told him that
the only bunch he saw was a bunch of ha-
ready said. I have advised ..
send him to n sanitarium for a few days
and see If It will not get his mind straight."
While neck waa on hla rampage yester
day morning he (oat—perhfps awatlowcd-*
very fine diamond ring, worth probably
$150. Mrs. Beck states that he had It on
during the morning, hut they have not
been able to locate It since his leap out of
ager, and while he la not ...
ho Is looking after the comfort of the un-
fortunate player.
