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. The score: ATLANTA- Alt. ft. H. PO. A. E.

Time, 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.

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.

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.” Charges That Smith Won Pennant With Rubber Balls. talk of those who have a good deni of the yellow In their composition, nnd 1 would not do It now but for the fact that It was used ns a means of Insulting von. 1 might add, thnt they have eveu said 1 had Buckley discharged.
