“ ■ 1 ATLANTA GEORGIA#, MONDAL, SEPTEMBER 3.1006. SPORTS Ml FIGHTING FOR SECOND PLAGE ATLANTA TEAM CAN LOSE ONLY ONE MAN BY DRAFT Jimmy Archer nnd Ottn Jordan bit# been drafted from the Atlanta dob, the former being claimed by the Detroit and the latter by fit. Louis, both American League dubs. * And It la more than probable that Jim Foi, Rid Smith and Rube Zeller will be called In the name way. Hut there la one good thing about It all: According to the drafting mica adopted laat fall, Atlanta can loae only one man by draft. It la like thle: Suppose for luatance that Archer, Jor dan. Smith. Fox and Zeller are drafted each by a different chib. At the end of the drafting teuton, Octolier 15, the national commission will meet. It will be wen that there are five e]alm* for players ngnlnat the Atlanta club. According to the rule, a Claaa A league club can lone only one roan. 8o the five clainia are put In a hat. nnd one allp la dratru. The club whoae name cornea out this way get a Ita player. The other four loae, and Atlanta wins. It may l»e that Archer will go; It may be Jordan, or It may be any of the other three. IJut it la certain that Atlanta can not Buffer heavily from the operation of the rule, and that the nucleus of a pow erful team will lie left. The greateat loaa that threatens the At lanta team, however, la the departure of Tom Hughea, who will doubtleaa be recall ed by the New York Americana. Drafts Announced. The drafta announced Sunday contain much of Interest to Atlanta fans. One of particularly local, Interest la the purchase by Clnelnnntl of Robert Olln Chappie. Atlanta's only product playing In first-class organised baseball. Chappie wna In 1900 captain nnd atnr pitcher of the Atlanta Roya* High srhool baseball team, end he learned to piny the game on the lota ont at West End. After being grad uated from the high school, he went to the Florida State college, where he achieved considerable note aa a pitcher nnd football player. In 1904, he waa signed for Jack sonville, where he pitched well for two years, ranking well up atdong South At* Untie League players. This year he was taken to the Scranton New York State League club by Eddie Ashen back, nnd by his brilliant work he has put the team 100 points to the good In the pennant nice. lie has pitched thirty- six games this year and has lost only six. Ubapple's forte Is his change of pace. He usea but few curves, although he has 'em, but reilea on putting the boll over the corners, slow and fast. Another draft of interest hero Is that by which Rrooklyn gets Weldon Henley from the Rochester Eastern longue club. Henley bos pitched excellent ball for the New Yorkers this year, and onght to strengthen the Trolley Dodgers. The Southern League drafts announced, aside from those mentioned In the fore going, are: * fly New York American League—Maxwell, of Montgomery. By New York Amerlcnn League—Bailee, of Hlrmlnghnm. By St. Louis National League—Byrne of Shreveport. Purchase Claims. By rittsburg National League—Maxwell, of Montgomery. Ily Flttsburg National League—Abstain, of Shreveport. Ry Cleveland American League— Lleb- hnrdt, of Memphis. There Is u mix up over Maxwell, New York claiming him by draft nnd Pittsburg by purchase. It also ap|war* that after nil Connie Mack does not get Nap Rucker and Holmes from Augusta. Rrooklyn gets the Crabapptc wonder by draft, and the claim on Holmes Is cast out because of filing of papers nffer specified date. Joe Bean, the captain of the Jersey City Eastern League club, who lives In Atlanta during the winter, has been drafted by Washington. Ed Minahnn. formerly of the Birming ham team, has been secured from Toledo by Cincinnati. Hughey Jennings, who used to conch the University of Georgia baseball team, but who Is now mnnnger and part owner of the Baltimore Eastern League club, hns been claimed by Detroit. It Is said that he will succeed Billy Armour ns the mana ger of the Tigers. WANDERERS HAVE MADE GREAT RECORD ON ROAD The Atlanta team, which arrives this afternoon from its last trip of the year, has made a magnificent road record agalnat three of the strongest teams In the league, and one club, while not powerful, la not to be despised on Its own grounds. Atlanta played sixteen games on the trip, meeting Memphis, Little Hock, Hhreveport and New Orleans iu series of four games each. The team returns, having won ten fames, lost five, snd tied one. Memphis wss beaten three out of four. Little Rock was beaten three out of four. 8hreveport was beaten three out of four. New Orleans was beaten oue game, won two and tied up one. Good pitching and heavy batting enabled the team to win Ita games. Tom Hughes pitched three games on the trip, winning all of them. Harley pitched two games and won nil of them. Rube Zel ler getting the discredit of Friday’s de feat at New Orleans. Zeller pitched four games, making an even break. His last gnnq* was a bad one, but otherwise he pitched well on the road. Doc Childs lost two out of three, both of them being 1 to 0 defeats. Baxter Sparks pitched three games, winning two. The brunt of the run-getting fell on four men, Morse, Winters, Rid Smith and Jordnu. Crosier, Hoffman, Fox, Archer and Evers all figured prominently In the games, but the first-mentioned quartet did the hulk of the hltttug nml the run-gcttlng. Their averages for the trip are: PLAYER- AB. R. H. P. CT. Morse 29 6 12 . 414 Winters 60 12 20 .333 Smith 68 9 20 .294 Jordan 59 4 17 . 289 Team Will Arrive Late; One Game To Be Played Because of the lateness of the Atlanta and West Point train, the Atlanta team will not arrive In the city from Now Orleans before 3 o'clock this afternoon, and it Is necessary to call off the double-header scheduled to be played Monday after noon with the Memphis club. Only one game will l»o played, beginning at 4 o'clock. The Atlanta team will hardly have time to do more than get to the baseball park and change clothes before time for the game to start, but everything looks good for a victory over the visitors. • Harley will doubtless pitch the game for Atlanta, opposing either Suggs or Uebhardt. TOURNEY DATE WAS CHANGED The date of the eighth Georgia state trap-shooting tournament, to be held nt the Atlanta Gun .Club, hns beeu changed from September to October 4, 5 and 6. The change Is mode ou account of the former dates conflicting with tournameuts •t Cincinnati nnd Louisville. Since the change hns been effected, It Is certain that many of the leading pro fessional shots of the country will attend the shoot Au Interesting shoot was held at Lake- Wood Saturday, at which the following •cores were made, each figure representing the targeta broken out of 25 trials: -yryy ~g~~&n~gr Evans. . . .

Philadelphia, I*n., Kept. 3.—“Philadelphia Jack" O'llrlen surprised the fighters yes< terday by his arrival from Europe. Not even the members of his family knew that he was back In this country, or Intended to arrive nt this time, until a tele gram waa received from Jack Saturday night. Ills return Is now in lino with dope nt the time of his departure, when ,lt was predicted that his trip across the ocean would be merely preliminary preparation for hts bout with Sam Berger this fall. He wns here only long enough to change his clothes and run for a train for At lantlc City. DOUGLASVILLE WIN8. Special to The Georgian. Itotigtasvllle, Ga., Kept. 3.—Douglasville defeated n picked team from Villa Rica Austell and I.lthla Springs at Austell Fri day afternoon by the score of 2 to 0.

FISHER Tom Fisher pitched Saturday one of the three greatest games In the ahnats of pro* fesaloual baseball, letting Montgomery down without a bit, a ran, or even a man to first base. lie received errorless sup port, hkd perfect control nnd struck out fourteen men. His performance ranks In baseball with the feat of Cy Young two years ago and Erwin Wilhelm this year. TEAMS BATTLE FOR 24 INNINGS Quite the most remarkable game In the nnnals of professional hnsetmll was plsyed nt Boston Saturday between the Philadel phia and Boston American League teams, the former winning In the 24th Inning by the score of 4 to 1. It was only one In ning shy of the world's record, the gitne played In 1891 between Fargo snd Grand Forks going 25 innings. The feature of the game wns the magnifi cent pitching of Coombs, the young colie- ginp recently signed by Connie Mack. -In the twenty-four Innlngn he allowed only fif teen lilts nml one run. His nerve In pinches made his work undoubtedly the finest exhi bition of twirling seen In recent years. For Instance, Ferris aud Parent each got two- baggers In the game nnd Parent got a triple, and once or twice the hnses were flllM up, with dangerous hitters at the bat, but when this wns the case Coombs put on all bis steam and wonld strike out the fol lowing batters. Harris, for Boston, pitched finely, but weakened In tfie twenty-fourth snd merely lobbed the ball over, three runs being floored. The game wna started at 1:33 o'clock and lasted till 6:20 o'clock, requiring four hours and forty-seven minutes. • League Standings 80UTHERN. Clubs— Played. Won. Lost P. C.

BAT NELSON’S HAPPY GRIN CASE OF OTTO JORDAN AND THE "RUBBER BALL” WILL BE ALLOWED TO DROP By PERCY WHITING. Special Correspondence. New Orlenns, Sept. 2.—The “Otto Jordan case" will be heard September 17, two days after the Southern League season ends. It Is doubtful If anything will come of It. Presumably It will be thrown ont of court for lock of evidence. While the team was In New Orleans Otto, Secretary Ethridge nnd some local newspa per men went, over to the court, hnd n look nt the famous rubber ball, nnd talked with the Judge. From what could !»« learned, the ease Is regarded In n seriocomic (and mostly the hitter end of the hyphenated word light by everybody connected with the court before which It will be heard. It Is the opinion that Jordan did the only possible thing In keep ing possession of the ball, ns the umpire re fused to take the matter In his own hands, nnd It Is predicted on nil sides that the case will be quietly smothered. Jordan wns torn with conflicting emotions to visit ngnln the scene of his famous es- cnpnde nnd pointed ont gleefully the cell In which he wns confined, snd the patrol wagon which he alleged wss the Identical one use<l In conveying him to the police station. • The writer carefully examined the ball now In the possession of the New Orlenns police which Is being held for evidence. This hall Is supposed to Ih» the famous "rubber” ball nnd certainly the cover Is the one which wns ou the ball taken from Jordan by the police. It bears on the out side the signatures of Jordnu nnd Secretary Ethridge. Also It hns a mark made by tin Indelible pencil, which the Atlanta players believe wns put there by Charley Frank to distinguish that ball ns a “phoney” one. one thing about the ball, nslde from Its marvelous "liveliness,” which looks suspi cious, Is the fact that no trade mnrk is discernible. The Imll Is comparatively n new one and It la presumably Impossible that the trade mnrk could have been re moved by the. amount of play It received. Unless appearance* are more deceitful than usual, the ball now held by the New Or lenns police authorities Is not a regulation ball which Is required to be used by the by-laws of the Jengue. The possibilities that the ball hns been “switched” since the time It was taken away from Jordan, while remote, are wor thy of consideration. It hns been kept loose In n drawer of a desk In the police station. Any one who had the run of the place could readily have pulled the ball out, sub stituted g dummy In Its place, mnde any change nnd slipped the hall back again. To have made a change the cover would have hnd to be removed. Auy one who desired to make any changes would have hnd to take the cover off and sew It back on another ball. Such a stunt Is possible, but far from probable. Anyway, there Is also remote possibility that the ball Is not the Identical one which proved so "rubbery” In the famous game In which Mauuel knocked the unexpected home run. However, there is not a member of the Atlanta team who would not like to be present when the ball Is opened. One by-product of the dope factory In New Orleans during the rubber ball discus sion was the statement made by a New Orlenns paper that Manager Mtillnney of the Montgomery team staled that he didn’t get the rublier boll he had In his possession from New Orlenns nt nil, but that he got It from Smith when Billy was using rub- lier balls down In Macon. That this statement was made l>y Mullq- ney Is denied absolutely by a man who heard the Interview, nnd the day after It appenred Mtillnney branded It as a fabrica tion. The story wss taken nt first ns one of Militancy's Jokes, but now It appears that "Mull" did not tell It, anyway. SATURDAY’S GAME. By PERCY WHITING. Special Correspondence. New Orlenns, Kept. 3.—Not to be out done In the matter of "whisker finishes." the Atlanta team pulled off a uinth Innlug' rally which saved Saturday afternoon's game from lielng a snd defeat. In the fourth Inning, the fearsome Peli cans put a run over the platter, and there after, until the ninth Inning. It appeared that the Crackers were-buff a low! or elked or eagled or aomethtug equally fatal to their aspirations as run-getters. For hardly a bit and never a run made they. Then came the ninth Inning, which Lit tle Richard Crosier inaugurated with a dean single. Smith waa up next, and he sent -n bounder down third Iwse line. Breathers thought for a fatal second that It was going to roll foul, nnd so evi dently did O'Brien aud Cargo, for they stood idly several yards from first base. When "Chest l« Artie” saw bis error, be picked up the ball, but noliody was at first to head off Smith, and the scorer chalked up n hit. Then Jimmy Fox com pleted the stunt so neatly started by Cro sier aud so fortunately carried on by Smith, when he singled to left field and scored Crosier with the run which tied things up. New Orleans did nothing In the ninth, nnd Umpire Cnmpan railed the game when that Inning ended, alleging that It wns too dark to play. It was 5:55 when he rendered his decision, nnd a couple of In- ulngs more conkl easily have l*een played. As Tommy Hughes was getting stronger every minute, while Manuel wns apparently weakening, It looked like a cinch for At lanta If the game hud gone on until It wss really too dark to play. But Cam- pau saw U otherwise, auu neither side pul up much of a protest. The steady pitching of Tom Hughes, nnd the timely "nsh work” of Crosier, Kid Smith and Fox hnd pulled the fat out of the fire, aud Atlanta had more or less cause to he pleased. The game passed off ns smoothly as that on Friday. Every time Jorrinn came to bat. cheers and npplnnse, mingled with hisses, were’ heard, hut aside from the hisses, there were no hostile demonstra tions. The score follows “b: it. it. 1*0.

By Private I.cnwd Wire. Goldfield. Nev., Kept. 3.—Joe Gans and Battling Nelson will iu a few hours meet here to decide who Is the champion light weight of the world. They will fight to a finish to decide It. There can be no draw, cither one or the- other must go down In defeat. If ever u mnu wns built for a finish fight that man Is Battling Nelson. While he was- engaging In a six-round bout in the east he wns a Joke. Fight promoters put hint on In cheap preliminaries or did not put him on at all. Over the short courses he wns no better than any of the other cheap men, nnd not as good as the clever ones. Then he came West, where the twefity- round fight Is the ultimatum. He jumped Into prominence at once. Every man whom be met gave him a terrible drubbing In the early rounds. Spider Welch did It nt Salt Lake, but In the cud he weut down nnd out before Nelson. Martin Canole beat Nelson off for fifteen rounds—In fact, he wore himself out pound ing away nt the whalebone tnnu In front of him. It was the same story when Nelson fought Hanlon. Eddie pinned the Dane In the cor ner for seventeen rounds nnd the contest became one of n test of endurance. In the eighteenth round Hnulon wavered nnd Nc»l- son finished him In the nineteenth. What Bat’* Victims Think. The only reason why Nelson whipped Young Corbett In such quick time wns be cause Corbett, finding a man whom he could hit with every punch In his make-up, put up such a fast fight that his bolt wns soon shot. I have talked with three men who have felt the Dane’s knock-out punch— Jimmy Britt, Eddie Hnnlon and Young Cor bett. They all told me the same thing. Young Corbett—It Is nothing In the world hut bis endurance. He Is such an easy mark to hit that you can bit your head off before yon know It. Eddie Hanlon—Nelson never hit me n punch which hurt me. I have fought n dozen men who are clenner nnd harder punchers. Nelson Is always right on top of you nnd you whale away, thinking that nt every wallop that you are Just going to get hint and then you blow up nnd he comes along nnd gets you. He Is there In his style of fighting. Britt said: "I bent myself at Coma by trying to atnnd np with a slugger.

He scores a few clean knock-downs. Go to the records of the best fights nnd note the few In stances In which he has floored bis man. To sum up In a few words. Nelson has nothing but his stamina. To say that h« is clever Is rot. To make him a clever fighter would be to kill his usefulness. At to Joe Gant. Now, ns to Joe Gans. He it six years oidtf than Nelson, nml he has been fighting ffrt years longer. Gnus Is the cleverest light weight this country hns ever produced. He goes about a fight very much makes a watch. He knows everythin! which contributes to a winning fight; he hns ring generalship down to an exact science, nnd, In addition to this, he hns knock-out punch In either hand. , Gans won the lightweight championship with a single punch, nnd since that time men nt 133 pounds have been very shy of the negro's game. He has been forced to fight big men, and his string of victo- rles over the toughest welters In the world Is enough to convince any man that tht negro Is the fighting marvel of the decade. /He lins beaten men with whom It Is con ceded tbnt Nelson wouldn't have a look Id. Onns says he will hkve nothing to fear from Nelson’s punches. Whether the ne gro will be able to win In a punch whether he has stamina to pick Nelson to bits for fifteen or twenty rounds and wearing hint down with n succession of Jarring punches to the body or Jaw Is some thing which the fight must decide.

New Orlenns, Kept. 3.—Atlanta closed Its last road trip of the year by splitting a double-header with the Pelicans Sunday. The first game went to the home dub by the score of 9 to 1. Zeller betng lambasted nil over the lot nnd receiving poor support. Whiter Guese pitched for the Pelicans nml held the Atlnntnns down to two hits. One of them—Hoffman's double—yielded Atlanta Its ouly run. Ilnxter Kpnrks wns the goods In the sec ond bnttle, and got away with his game—6 to 2—because he received excellent batting support.
