CRACKERS ARE STAGGERING ALONG
The Invalids Have Relapse
and Awful Shut-out Results
FOUR OF MONTGOMERY’S STANDBYS
MONTGOMERY 6 ATLANTA 0
After Ullly Smith’* candidate* for the Infirmary hart handed the knock-out wal
lop to Vaughn's Prom! Boast on two out of throe occasion* this week, It wna
not expects! that Dominick Mu Money'a hand of alxtb place lemons would cause
any Ill-feeling.
But they did, dod pant them. They not only bent the Llmpers. They shut
them out.
The score was 6 to <X And, wonder of wonders. Tommy JRjgbo* was Jjj tbs
box.
Olnlorisly If was Tommy’s off-day. They all have them, itnd fills one shouldn’t
be counted against Hughes. But, be It said to the credit of his team mates,
bis support was excellent at critical times, and lie had only himself to Illume.
In the third Inning, a base on halt*, a pllfler and a hit scored the first run for
Alalmina. In the fifth, with two down, u base on ball*. n fielder's choice,
three two-baggers In succession, and n single, gave Mullaney'n pets four more
runs. In the fifth, two hits and a sacrifice accounted for the Inst tally of the
day.
With the remembrance of the stout team which ftllly Smith gathered to rep
resent Atlanta this year. If caused a feeling of sadness to gaze on the wobbly
bunch which played Thursday. Ever* wns behind' the bat. Jordan (with n sore
finger* - on first, Ifoffmnn «n South Atlantic recrtiltt on second, and—during
most of the game—Jimmy Archer and his bum shoulder were lu center field. Other
wise. the team was innde up of regulars. But there was mighty little left of the
"otherwise."
The team played the usual scrappy game It has displayed nil the Henson, nnd
the Trackers never gnre up. In the ninth, they were fighting Just ns hard ns lu
the first, nnd it looked then an though the shut-out stigma might be dodged.
Bat It wasn’t.

FRANK REPLIES TO LOWRY ARNOLD'S LETTER
IN AN EPISTLE WHICH IS A WARM PRODUCTION
Holmes Wins His Game and
Tourists Now Leads Sallies
Special to The Georgian.
Augusta, Hit., Aug. 17.—The game pulled
off yesterdny afternoon between the lo
cals and the Savannah team wns decidedly
the beat played here this aensnn. It wna
S pitchers' battle from start to finish. In
which "Ducky" Holmes hnd the best of
"Bugs” Raymond, the ex-Atlanta pitcher.
Neither pitcher yielded n hit until the
last half of the ntuth, when "Bugs" was
plastered for a couple of bits, which lost
the game for him.
Holme* played the entire game without
allowing a thing thnt had a elm nee to be
called a hit. He walked two men, nnd hit
on# In the ribs, and this wna the only time
that a man reached second base or got on
(ms# for the visitors. The offlrlnl re.
shows that only twenty-seven men faced
him.
There was much Interest In the game, ns
It meant the lend to the winner. Augustn
noted Savannah out of the first place, and

Special to Thu Georgian,
- Slloatu, Ga„ Aug. 17.—In one of tfca fast-
oat games played ou the local grounds
ibis season, Hlloam lost here Tuosdny the
first game to White Plains by the score
of 5 to 7. The gntno wns very fnst nnd
snappy from licgltmlng to end. raid well,
the atnr pitcher of Hllonm, wna batted hard
In the second Inning. 11c was relieved by
Bhndea. who let the visitors down with one
hit. Gorham pitched the game for the
Visitors, and he did well.
The feature of the game was the home

In the letter sent by Lowry Arnold,
secretary of the local baseball nssocln
tlon, to President Ravannugh, withdraw
ing the "rubber ball" charges against Char
ley Frank, the local man made somo'rnther
aUltry charges against That Dutchman.
Charley Frank lias come hack nt Mr.
Arnold lu n letter to President KavnnaugU.
This letter, In part, follows;
Memphis, Tenn., August 12, 1906.
Judge Havana ugh. President of Southern
League. Little Rock. Ark.
Dear Sir. I mu unwilling for the tetter
of Lowry Arnold, secretary of the Atlanta
baaehnl! ot t>, to pnsa unnoticed. It seems
to he without any purpose except to insult
you and criticise me. I don't think It is
neeetsary or proper for me to deal with
those features of the letter Intended to af
front you, been use you need nobody to
fight your battles. I do propose to answer
those things said about me.
Thnt letter Is a moss of mendacious non
sense nnd Is n cheap effort to plead the
baby act nnd whine In the process. In the
first place. If Mr. Arnold knew anything
he would know that yon had nothing to do
with settling any dispute between the New
Orleans nnd the Atlnntn clubs. It does
not mnko any difference, therefore, liow
you may feel toward either of the parties.
and determining Its complnlnt. but doing a
_ .. \y ,
cannot fool anybody who knows the facts.
In the uext place, there Is not a player In
he umpire. And again If did not make
complnlnt and fllo Its charges within the
time prescribed by the rules.
In Arnold's letter It Is said that the At
lanta players did not refuse to go ou with
the game nnd that Jordan wns arrested be
fore the game wiih forfeited by the umpire.
Every word of this Is false. Not a sylla
ble of truth or facts redeems It from total
mendacity. It Is a falsehood woven out of
the whole cloth. The umpire threw a hall
to the pitcher for use In play and Jordan
got It nnd refused to give It up. The hall
was never used In the play, nor hnd It
ever been thrown by the pitcher. Jordan
persisted In his refusal to surrender the
null and the Attuntn team refused to go
on with the game. The umpire had nothing
to do but to forfeit the gntne.
lie did this, nnd could hare done nothing
else. The umpire is the sole Judge of the
halls and If the Atlnntn club wnnted to
make any question nliout the Justice of his
_ n n ought to have —*’*
It did nothing of the l
to It. and his high-handed conduct could
not be tolerated. He hnd no more right
to confiscate that hall than he did to filch
our hat# and uniforms. Quite a while after
the game hnd been forfeited, nnd after
the ball hnd been demanded of Jordan nnd
he hnd refused to surrender It, he wns ar
rested for petty larceny.
This la not the first time that Atlanta’s
claimed at Shreveport thnt It wns a rubber
hall. Ho carried the ball to Little Hock
and It was opened In your presence nnd
found to he a regulation hall.
Billie Smith, ns initnnger of the Macon
team In the South Atlantic League, won
the pennant twice, mid I am prepared to
show that his fraudulent use of rubber
balls Is what enabled him to do It. It Is
his knowledge of rubber ball games that
makes him look at every ball with a brow
of suspicion.
Now. about the $306 penalty. After the
St. Vralti fight nnd after we had started
association showed up my conduct In
a certain game. I was e
nnd the association proceeded
Ised"about 1^ an.. .
to consider a rule for my benefit. It was
r>ir
Ewing’s office at Memphis, and the
pro|x>sed to hold me for a while.
Mr. Rowell, then represen
proposed to attach a penalty i
club thnt refused to finish
formulated, with the assistance of Mr. Ew
ing, section 17 of article 10 of the constitu
tion. ns follows: "And In the event of said
forfeiture being caused by the withdrawal
of the players during the progress ot the
game, then such forfeiting club shall be
lined $300." Now, admittedly, this forfeit
ure was caused by the withdrawal of the
players during the progress of the game.
If. this rule means anything. It means
Just what It says, and it says that the for
feiting club shall bo fined $.100. I claim the
assessment of the line tieenuse I sun eutltled
to It under \
the law nnd
It Is your positive nnd unequivocal duty
to assess the fine, and the rule provides:
"Said fine shall l>e assessed by the presi
dent of the association, but may lie re
mitted or modified upon appeal to, and a
hearing by, the honrd of directors."
You nre required to assess the fine and
then the Atlanta club can appeal to the
board of directors. If It wns well to jinss
this rule for me to he caught by It, It Is
equally ns well that every other manager be
caught by It when he violates It.
There Is a hue nnd cry thnt I want to
control the league. .Yon know how false
that Is. $ have asked no favors nnd have
received none.
The Atlnntn club started out the season
. (dating the rule about the salary limit,
and then tried to evade It by the film-finm
makeshift of "suspending" extra players.
ft whined about a rubber ball nnd rnn
to you with one nnd found thnt the whine
was unjustified. It hnd a rule passed to
try to catch me, nnd then when caught by
that same rule It whined again.
It makes a lot of ridiculous charges, nnd
then after a few weeks' child’s play with
draws them. It whines nliout you not be
ing unbiased ns n Judge of those charges
when you could not have even tried them.
It takes Its players off the field nnd for
feits a game and does not even have
enough respect for Its own conduct to pro
test the game according to the rules. It Is
the same old story of n blustering little kid
going about with n black eye and whimper-

might ndd thnt they have even sabf 1 hnd

Is no truth In the story about the only
manager thnt never made a complaint
against him. Very truly.
