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.

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.

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. The score: ATLANTA— AB. 11. II. PO. A. E AH. II. II.

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 8ILOAM L08E8 FIRST GAME.

Corry i Demands Assessment of the $300 Fine. 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- Charges That Smith Won Pennant With Rubber Balls. might ndd thnt they have even sabf 1 hnd Buckley discharged. You know that there Is no truth In the story about the only manager thnt never made a complaint against him. Very truly. CHARLES FRANK.
