The Invalids Have Relapse
and Awful Shut-out Results
MONTGOMERY.. .. 6 ATLANTA 0
After Rlfly Smith’* candidate* for the Infirmary hml handed the knnek-unt wal
lop to Vaughn'* Proud Boast on two out of thro#* occasions thin week. It waa
not expected that Itomlnlck Mullaney'* band of sixth place lemon* would causa
any Ill-feeling.
But they did, dod gnst them. They not only I teat the Llmpers. They ahut
them oof.
The *<*ore waa 6 to 0. And, wonder of wonder*, Tommy Hughe* wn* in the
box.
Obviously It waa Tommy’* nff-dny. They nil have them, and thl* one ahouldn't
be counted against Hughe*. But, lie It aald to the credit of hi* team matea,
bis support was excellent at critical time*, and he had only himself to blame.
In the third Inning, a base on boll*, a pllfler and n hit scored the first run for
Alabama.. In the fifth, with two down, n base on ball*, a fielder'* choice,
three two-ltaggera In succession, and n Mingle, gave Mulluncy's pet* four more
runs, fn the fifth, two hit* and n sacrifice accounted for the last tally of the
day.
With the remembrance of the stout team which Billy Smith gathered to rep
resent Atlanta this year, It caused a feeling of sadness to gnxe on the wohhly
bunch which played Thursday. Kver* was (•chlnd the hut. Jordan (with ft sore
fingeri on first, Hoffman in Houth Atlantic recruit! on second, and—during
Dost of the game—Jlmuiy Archer and his bum shoulder were In center field. Other-
wise, the team was made up of regulars. But there was mighty little left of tbo
“otherwise.”
The team played the usual scrappy game It ha* displayed all the season, and
the Trackers never gave np. In the ninth, they were fighting Just a* hard as In
the first, and It looked then ns though the shut-out stigma might he dodged.
But It wasn’t.

Holmes Wins His Game and
Tourists Now Leads Sallies
Special to The Georgian.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 17.—The game pulled
off yesterday afternoon between the lo
cals and the Kavnnnah team was decidedly
the best played here this season, ft waa
• pitchers’ battle from start to finish. In
which ’’Ducky” Holmes had the best of
“Buts” Raymond, the ex-Atlanta pitcher.
Neither pitcher yielded a hit until the
Uat half of the ninth, when ”Unga” waa
plastered for a couple of hlta, which lost
the game for him.
Holmes played the entlro game without
allowing n thing that had a chance to be
called a hit. He walked two men, and fait
one In the riba, and this was the only time
that ft man reached second base or got on
base for the visitors. The official record
•hows that only twenty-seven men faced
him.
There waa much Interest In the game, na
It meant the lend to the winner. Angustn

Hloam, Ga., Aug. 17.—In one of the fast
en games played on the local grounds
this season, Siloara lost here Tuesday the
first game to White Plains by the score
of 6 to 7. The game was very fast and
•nappy from beginning to eud. Paid well,
the star pitcher of Hiioain, waa batted bard
In the second Inning. He waa relieved by
Rhode*, who let the visitor* down with one
hit. Garhntn pitched the game for the
• ylsltors, and he did well.
The feature of the game waa the home
run knocked by Pllllnghnm with three fnen

In the letter sent by Lowry Arnold,
secretary of the local baseball associa
tion, to President Kavanaugh, withdraw
ing the “rubber ball” charge* against Char
ley Frank, the local man made some rather
sultry charges against That Dutchman.
Charley Frank has come back at Mr.
Arnold In a letter to President Kavanaugh.
Thl* letter, In part, follows:
Memphis, Tenn., August 12, 1906.
dge KnvannugU, President of Southern
League. Little Rock, Ark.
fRfi *
baseball club, to pass unnoticed. It seems
to be without any purpose except to Insult
yon and criticise n»e. I don’t think It I*
necessary or proper for mo to ileal with
those features of tho letter Intended to af
front you, been use you need nobody to
fight your battles. I do propose to nnswur
those things sold about me.
That letter Is a mass of mendacious non
sense and Is a cheap effort to plead the
baby net nnd whine In the process. In the
first place, If Mr. Arnold knew anything
he would know thnt you find nothing to do
with settling any dispute between the New
Orleans nnd the Atlanta clubs. It does
not innke nny difference, therefore, hoW
you may feel toward either of the parties.
Hectlon 1 of nrttrle 10 of the coiiHtltutlon
of the Southern Association provide*: "The
board of directors shall l»o the sole tribunal
to determine disputes between clubs.”
Not only did the Atlanta club fall to
make It* troubles known to the only tribu
nal provided by the constitution for hearing
and determining It* complaint, but doing a
good deal of malicious falsifying In the pa
pers. Insulted you and backed out of the
whole matter on n measly pretense thnt
cannot fool anybody who know* the fact*.
In the next place, there I* not a player In
iantn c\ub has no right to question the
game about which the trouble started sim
ply because It did not protest the game to
the umpire. And again It did not make
complaint nnd file Its charges within the
time prescribed by the r *
In Arnold’s letH*r It I* said thnt the At
lnntn players did not refuse to go ou with
the game nnd thnt Jordan was arrested be
fore the game was forfeited by the umpire.
Every word of this Is false. Not a sylla
ble of truth or facts redeem* Jt from total
mendacity. It la a falsehood woven out of
the whole cloth. Tin* umpire threw n ball
to the pitcher for use In play nnd Jordan
got It nnd refused to give It up. The bull
was never used In the play, nor had It
ever been thrown bv the plti
persisted In hls refusal to *
nail and the Atlanta team refused to go
on with tho game. The umpire had nothing
to do but to forfeit the game.
He did this, nnd could have done nothing
else.- The umpire Is the sole judge of the
balls nnd If the Atlnntn club wanted to
make nny question about the justice of hls
manager of
dan to keep the ball. He was not untitled
to It. nnd hls bigh-hnnded conduct could
not be tolerated. He had no more right
to confiscate that ball than he did to filch
our bat* and uniforms, quite a while after
the game had been forfeited, nnd after
the hall had been demanded of Jordan nnd
lie had refused to surrender it, be was nr-
rested for petty larceny.
This la not the flrat time thnt Atlanta’s
malinger claimed we had used rubber balls.
»ii May 12th, or In the series then being
dared, be won a game and the ball. He
lalraed at Hbroveport that It wna a rubber
ball. lie carried the ball to Little Rock
1 It wns opened In your presence nnd
ind to be a regulation ball.
.Illlle Hmlth, ns manager of the Macon
team In the South Atlantic League, won
the pennant twice, mid I am prepared to
show thnt hi* fraudulent use of rubber
balls Is what enabled him to do It. It I*
his knowledge of rubber bnll games thnt
innke* him look nt every ball with a brow
of simpleton.
Now. about the $300 penalty. After the
St. Vrnln light and after we had started on
i new era of what wns hoped would be
prosperity and pence, there wns it meeting
n Mr. Ewing’* office nt Memphis, and the
association showed up iny conduct In re
fusing to play n certain game. I wits criti
cised about It and the association proceeded
to consider a rule for my benefit. It wna
proposed to hold me for n while.
Atlanta,
nuy
„ game. He
formulated, with the assistance of Mr. Ew
ing, section 17 of article 10 of the couatltu*
tlon, an follows: “And In the event of said
forfeiture heln^ caused by the withdrawal
Mr. Powell, then representing Atln
proposed to attach a penalty of $300 to
club thnt refused to finish a game.
uuiTu Now, ndinltte.,,.v, inis luitm-
ure wns caused by the withdrawn! of the
players during the progress of the game.
If this rule means anything, It means
Just what It says, nnd It says that the for
feiting club shall he fined $300. I claim tho
assessment of the fine because I am entitled
to It tinder the plain language nnd letter of
the law nnd within Its purpose and spirit.
It 1* your positive nnd unequivocal duty
to nsaess the fine, and the rule provides:
"Hold fine shall be assessed by the presi
dent of the association, but may he rt
mltted or modified upon appeal*to, nnd
hearing by, the board of directors.”
