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.

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 true of New Orleans with reference to our itatlve there.. that ray letter waa "the , wr semblance whatever to a charge against the New Or* * «ns club for the nae of rubber ball# at .Jew Orleans;" yet we are Informed that certain members af the Montgomery base ball club went to your office In little Rock when that team reached your ett ami .while you were out of town. * ***** - -MWIflfY.

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, was not wore unscrupulous and uncon scionable than he la. If Frank Insists on this, we wool*! be glad for you to set the matter down for a hearing, and we wonld like to request thnt we be allowed to submit our proof by af- flilavlt. as It will t»e very expensive to us to lose the time Incident to jmeh as ex- amlsatlfNi, or to tolm our players to New Orleans with ns. when the amount In volved Is itnly BW.
