The Invalids Have Relapse
and Awful Shut-out Results
MONTGOMERY 6 ATLANTA 0
After nill.r Smith's candidate* for the Infirmary had handed the knock-oat w«l*
lop to Vaughn** Prowl Boast on two out of three occasion* UiIh wwk, It wag
not expected that Dominick Mullaney'* band of sixth place lemon* woiiM cause
any Ill-feeling.
But they did, dod fast them. They not only l**i»t the I.lmpers. They ahut
them out.
The score was 6 to 0. And. wonder of wonder* Tommy HugbM was Id the
box.
Obviously It waa Tommy'* off-dsy. They nil hare them, and this one shouldn't
be counted against Hughes. Hut. It* It said to the credit of hfs team niatea,
his support was excellent at critical times, and he had only himself to hlatne.
In the third Inning, a bn** on halls, a pllfler and a hit scored the first run for
Alabama. In the fifth, with two down, n *bnse on halls, n fielder's choice,
three two-tiaggers In succession, and ,n Mingle, gave Mulluney's pets four more
ran*. In 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 t<* gas* on the wobbly
bnneh which played Thursday. Kvers was hefflud the hat, Jordan twlth n sore
finger) on first. Hoffman (a South Atlantic recruit) on second, and—during
most of the gstne—Jimmy Archer and his bum shoulder were In center field. Other
wise, the team was mode up of regulars. But there was mighty little left of the
•'otherwise. •'
The team played the usual scrappy game It has displayed nil thp season, and
tb* Crackers nerer gave up. In the ninth, they were fighting just ns hard ns In
the first, and It looked then ns though the shut-out stlginu might he dodged.
Dut It wasn't.

Holmes Wins His Game and

Special to The Georgian.
Augusta. Ga., Aug. 17.—'The game pulled
off yesterday afternoon between the lo
cals and the Savannah team waa decidedly
the best played here'this season. It
a pitchers' battle from start to finish, In
which "Ducky" Holmes had the best of
“Bugs” Raymond, the ex-Atlanta pitcher.
Neither pitcher yielded a hit until the
last half of the ninth, when "Bugs" was
plastered for a couple of bits, which lost
the game for him.
Holmes played the entire game without
allowing a thing that had a chance to be
called a hit. He walked two men, nud hit
one In the ribs, and this was the only time
that a man reached second base or got on
base for the visitor*. The official record
shows that only twenty-aeven men faced
him.
There waa much Interest In the game, ns
It meant the lead to the winner. Auguatn
nosed Savannah out of the flrat place, and

first game to White Plains by the score
of 6 to 7. The game was very fa*t and
snappy from beginning to end. Caldwell,
the star pitcher of Hllontn, was batted hard
In the second Inning. He waa relieved by
Rhodes, who let the visitors down with one
bit. Garhsm pitched the game for the
visitors, and he did well.
The feature of the game waa the home

In the letter sent by Lowry Arnold,
secretary of the local baseball associa
tion, to President Kavsnaugb, withdraw
ing the "rubber ball" charges against Char
ley Frank, the local man made aomc rather
sultry charges against That Dutchman.
Cbsrlny Frank has come back at Mr.
Arnold In a letter to President Kavanaugh.
This letter, In part, follows:
Motuphls, Tenn., August 12, 1906.
idge Kavanaugh, President of Southern
League, Little Rook. Ark.
Dear Sir: 1 aui unwilling for the letter
of Lowry Arnold, secretary of the Atlanta
baseball club. to pas* unnoticed. It seems
to be without any purpose except to Insult
you and criticise me. I don’t think Jt Is
accessary or proper for me to deal with
those features of the letter Intended to af
front you, because you ueed nobody to
fight your battles. I do propose to auswer
those thing* *ald about me.
That letter la a mass of mendacious non
sense and I* a cheap effort to plead the
baby net nud wbtue In the prow**. In the
flrat place. If Mr. Arnold kuew anything
he would know that you had nothing to do
with Nettling any dispute lie tween the New
Orleans aim the Atlanta elub*. It doe*
not make any difference, therefore, how
you may feel toward either of tho parties. ■
Bectlon 1 of article 10 of the constitution
of the Southern Association provide*: "The
board of directors *hnll be the sole tribunal
to determine dispute* between dubs."
Not only did the Atlanta club fall to
make Ita troubles known to tho only tribu
nal provided by the constitution for nearing
and determining It* complaint, blit doing
cannot fool any
east/ .
ho know* the fact*.
player In
time prescribed by the rule*.
In Arnold’s letter It I* snbl that the At
lanta players did not refuse to go on with
the game and that Jordan was arrested be
fore the game was forfeited by the umpire.
Every word of_ this Is false. Not a sylla
got It and refused to give It up. The ball
w*us never used In the play, nor Jind It
ever been thrown bv tho plteher. Jordan
persisted In his refusal to surrender the
ball and the Atlanta team refused to go
on with the game. The umpire bad nothlug
to do but to forfeit the game.
He did this, and could have done nothing
dan to keep the ball. He was not entitled
to It. and his high-handed conduct could
not be tolerated. He had no more right
to confiscate that hall than he did to filch
our hats and uniforms. Quite a while after
the gnme had been forfeited, and after
the hall had been demanded of Jordan and
he had refused to surrender It, he was ar
rested for petty larceny.
This Is not the flrat time that Atlanta’s
manager claimed wo had used rubber balls,
on May 12th, or In the series then being
played, he w'on a game and the ball. He
claimed nt Shreveport that It waa a rubber
ball. He carried the ball to IJttle Rock
ml It wo* opened In your presence and
found to be a regulation ball
*>nguo, .. .
r . prepnred to
show thnt his fraudulent use of rubber
balls Is what enabled him to do It. It Is
IiIh knowledge of rubber ball games thnt
mnkcM him look at every ball with a brow
of suspicion.
Now, about the |3<V) penalty. After the
St. Vrafn fight and after we had started on
i new era of what was hoped would be
prosperity and pence, there was n meeting
>n Mr. Ewing's office at Memphis, and tho
fusing to piny n certain game. I was criti
cised about It and the association proceeded
to consider a rule for my benefit. It was
proposed to hold me for a while.
Mr. Powell, then representing Atlanta,
proposed to attach a penalty of $300 to any
club that refused to finish a game. He
formulated, with the nsslstnnce of Mr. Ew
ing, section 17 of article 10 of the constitu
tion, aa follows: "And Jn the event of said
forfeiture being caused by tho withdrawal
of the players during the progress of the
S ame, then such forfeiting chib shall he
ned $300." Now, admittedly, this forfeit
ure was caused by the withdrawal of the
players during the progress of the gnme.
If this rule means anything, It means
just what It says, and It says that the for
feiting ylub shall be fined $300. I claim the
assessment of the fine because I am entitled
to It under the plain language and letter of
the law and within Its purpose nud spirit.
It Is your positive and unequivocal duty
to assess the fine, and the rule provides:
"Said fine shall be assessed by the presi
dent of the association, but may be re
mitted or modified upon appeal to, and a
hearing by, the hoard of directors."
You are required to assess the fine and
then the Atlanta club can Appeal to the
board of directors. If It " *
this rule for ine to he ca„_ „ ..
equally ns well that every other manager be
caught br It when pe violates It.
There Is a hue and ery thnt I want to
control the league. You know how false
thnt Is. I have asked no favors and bavu
received none.
The Atlanta club started out the season
vlolntlng the rule about the salary limit,
and then tried to evade It by the flim-flam
makeshift of "suspending” extra players.
It whined about a rubber ball and ran
to you with ono and found that the whine
was unjustified. It had n rule passed to
try to catch tne, and then when caught by
that same rule It whined ngaln.
It makes n lot of ridiculous charges, and
then after a few weeks' child’s play with
draws them. It whines about you not lp»-
Ing unbiased ns a Judge of those charges
when you could not have even tried them.
It tnkes Its players off the field and for
feits n gnme and does not even have
enough respect for Ita own conduct to pro
test the gnme according to the rules. It Is
the same old story of a blustering little kid
going nhout with a Idnck eye and whimper
lug thnt the other fellow Is the biggest. 1

talk of those who have a good deal of the
yellow In their composition, nnd I would
not do it now but for the fact that It
wns used ns a means of Insulting you. I
might add that they have even said I had
Buckley discharged. You know thnt there
Is no truth In the story about the only
manager that never made n complaint
against him. Very truly,

Sullivan Is not In Gnus’ class, even though
he Is a welterweight.
Gnus then lost to Willie Lewis here In a
six-round bout, lie wns slow that night,
lacked his wallop nnd his judgment of dis
tance nud wns worse than a weak-sighted
matt. Ho met Harry Lewis nnd boxed tho
limit. There have been no knock-outs. He
has fought like n man who had lost ambi

did not seem to Ite the same Joe Gnus. IIo
wns never very anxious to force hls umn,
le f s anxious to swap punches nud all he
seemed to do was to keep a slight lend thnt
would win for him In the long run. It
may he thnf he was "stringing" Nelson for
this fight. He maybe thought the latter
would pick hbu for n lemon and sign. One
thing Is certain:
Gnus won’t loaf when he meets Nelson.
He won't stall along and keep the lead by
n narrow margin, lie will either have to
put the Dane to the floor or go there him
self, nnd there won't be u uioiueut wasted
in doing It.
