r A THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER, 12,1905. Tom Hughes Wins Two Games; Pirates Score But One Run ATLANTA .• 8. 8HREVEPORT 0. ATLANTA 4. 8HREVEP0RT 1. Great gnme. hasennll—especially when the home tenni wlna. And the home team had a prolonged spasm of winning nt Feldmont park Tues day afternoon and took two games from the somowlmt-battered-but-stllllu-the- ring representatives of the brlik little village of Hhreveport. The aeorea were 8 to 0 and 4 to 1. It la quite fashionable In the Southern thla year to pitch both games of n dou ble-header. Lfetifta nit made the afnnt locally fa mom*, and Torn Hughea (ell la line Tuesday by twirling l»oth games. That be wns successful la quite obvious from the scores. • With any kind of lurk, Hughes would have gone the full sixteen Innings with out having a run scored against him. In the fifth Inning of the aecoud. Daley man aged to score one ou two errors, however, and this marred what would otherwise have been a remarkable record. In the two games, Hughes gave up only eight hits— all of them singles and some of them scratches—only two bases on balls and struck out ten men. At the finish. Torn seemed as full of steam ns nt first, and burned them over with terrific speed. In the opening game.’"the fenttires"—as the yotingsters put If—“wa* the htavy bitting of the home team.” Frits was most ardently lambasted. Jordan made three out of four. Fox nnd BM Smith three out of four, and Iloffmau two out of four. The fielding of the Crnrker* wns oil to the fancy-work also, nnd the Pirates bad never a chance. In the second game Gllks sacrificed “Kitty" Becker. This youngster did not allow many hlta, hnt ho wns unfortunate In passing tho flrat man up three dif ferent time* nnd then in allowing somebody to bat the runner home. The game wna n fielding show well worth the price of admission. Dick Cro sier went to the back field fence for the most brilliant catch of the year on the local diamond, nnd Wallace did noticeable work In the field. The scores: FIRST GAME. SECOND GAME.

O’BRIEN MAY DODGE TRIP San Francisco, Sept. 11—Jack O'Brien, the Philadelphia fighter, who lays claim to the championship title on the strength of his defeat of Bob Fitzsimmons, arrived In San Francisco lost night, en route to Australia, where he Is to box Bill Squires, the best of the Antipodean big men. . The steamer on which O'Brien proposes to take passage sails Thursday, but It la just possible that Jack may not make the Journey. It all depends upon what develops when he has a conference with the local fight trust today. If O'Brien secures a match with Sam Berger, A1 Kaufman, Tommy Burns, or. In fact, any one In the heavy weight clasa, he will poatpone his departure to the Australian colonies. O'Brien prefers Berger to any of the heavyweights, but thinks that Samuel la in clined to dodge the issue. THE GREAT CY SEYMOUR Her, it a snap (hot of Cy Sey mour, once tho famous pitcher for the New York Nationala, later a member of the Cincinnati team, and thia year bought back during the middle of the aeaaon for $10,- 000, to play in the outfield for the Giants.

Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 11—Thla week •nds the ttasehall season In Montgomery and the fans aro glad. Some changes have been made In the line-up for tho last week of play. Nolly, a Montgomery l»oy, has lieen play lug right field, and has t>een showing up pretty well. Gultterea wan switched from right field t»chlnd the hut; Hausen went to second ami Murch went to short, so that JSJd Bosch could have some rest Pitcher Maxwell has left for Pittsburg, Where he goes to play the rest of the sea son. He was purchased from Montgomery tor 12.600 and the first Instalment ha* been paid, lie has pitched good hall for Mont gomery and may make a valuable man for lHttahurg. Although no figures can !h» obtained as to the attendance In Montgomery It Is thought that It Is almost ns much ns Isst year, though probably a little under. Montgom ery’s team last season showed up much better and that la what drew the crowds. The association, so It Is understood, Is III A splendid financial condition aud Is ready for the next season. John Miilarky has developed Into one of the finest pitcher* In the league, aud with him and Walsh and llreltenstcln to begin With, the team should l*e strong In 1907 Along the twirling line. \ ooooooooooooooooooowooooo o o O FRANK DIAGNOSES O O NASHVILLE'S TROUBLE.

"The team will O O always be in bad as long ns they O O stick to a board of directors to O <1 run things Instead of letting one O O manager do it.

O oooooA&oooooooooeooooooooo DOUBLE-HEADER NOTES, MOSTLY ABOUT HUGHES We all owe an apology to Tommy Hughes. We used to think that Llebhardt wss the best pitcher In the league. And all the time, the honor belonged to Tommy. And right here at the finish he baa come Into his own. Hughes Is one of the fow pitchers In the league who will go to the majors for hi* fall try-out In first-class shape. If he does not mnke good, then n lot of people In Atlanta will miss their guess. Hughes has speed, control snd a good head. Also he has other things In the way tide curves, a nice drop hall and a fair change qt pace. But the first hunch Is the that couuts, especially the good head part of It. Nothing rattles Tom. He la always on hand with the heat in the ahop, and It makes no difference how much the fans yell or how pickled la the support, keep* right on speeding 'em over snd do ing his liest. Hughe* may not Jump right Into the po sltloii of Clark Griffith's lending pitcher, hut he will certnluly prove a valuable man, and If he Improves for a couple of years le way he has this summer he will go ear to tho top. Bobby (Silks' big find, Tony Smith, made vo errors In the first Inning of the first game Tuesday. But after that be ployed bull like n veteran. If Ilob Wallace could hat ns well ns he in field he would he drawing $3,000 a year before long. He batted pretty much like n $5,000 man Tuesday, at that. Fans have concluded that he'll do for next year, all right. Jordan wns In hard luck to get an or- >r in the first game, for he put out mnn on the play thst caused the trouble. However, hts wild throw nllnwed a mnn to advance a base, and the black mark was Inevitable. it I* not often that a put out Is re corded from the center fielder to the short- ■top, but Wallace and Morse pulled It off. lu the first came.

O o o 00000000000000000000000000 Thinking Players Valuable in Baseball Baseball nowadays has been reduced to such a science that the Individual thinker does not stand out as he did In the old days. Every one is supposed to know ex actly what to do. Tho base runner Is sup* IHindi to know, without signals. Just when the hatter Intends to hit. Just which hall he will strike nt, nnd the batter knows Just which pitch the hose runner will run on. Every one knows that with two out snd a runner on first the third b a soman and second baseman will make the throw to first Imisc, nnd that If the ball Is hit to the shortstop ho will throw to secoud. Every throw and every move Is figured out to mathematical precision, nnd the dullest player can learn the system, yet there still Is so much room tor thinking that tho man whose brain Is ns agile ns his body shines as n star, while the other fellow throws away ball game*. Never was this fact so Impressed ajon tne ns a few years ago when I wss sitting with Comlskey. Cominy wns talking, half to himself, about Dick 1'adden, who wns about ns quick a thinker ns ever played tho game. "I can't understand It," solilo quized the Old Itomnn. “He enn’t hit. He can't run. He isn't good on ground balls. He's not any too sure of thrown ball*. Darned If he I* a good entrh of fly balls, aud hi* arm la had.” He atnpned n moment nnd then ndded: “But he's a nell of a good ball player.—Hugh Fullerton In -Chicago Tribune. TUESDAY’S RE8ULTS.

"I was pretty lucky to get him," anhl Mnlinger Gllks, “for n lot of other men had gone through there before me.

At East Point Saturday afternoou the Madflox-Bucker team met a decisive defeat nt the hand* of the’Eust Pointers. Never during tho entire game did the visitors have look-in for victory. The score wns 12 to 0. This Is the fourth gnmc taken by East Point in one week. Three of the contests were shut-out affairs nnd Llthonln saved herself two coats of whitewash last Thurs day by an error by one of the East Point players. Only eight hits were given up In th* four games. Horsey did slab work lu the first three events, ‘allowing only two hits to each game. Mnn gum repeated the same feat In Hatnnlay's game with Maddox- Hacker. The fielding and batting of East Point was fierce. Only two errors were marked up to their credit, while they made twelve hits, netting fifteen liases and twelve runs. Griffin, nt second.’ led with one /two-base ami three* single hit*, llarues came next with one three-base nnd one single. Then Eubanks made a neat two-base drive and single.

Just by way of a celebration," aald Manager Bill Wednesday morning. Manager Bill waa asked how old he waa on this happy occasion and right about that time Manager Smith began to talk about the weather. The question of whether or not a double-header will be played with New Orleans will be decided largely by the result of Wednesday’s games. If At lanta wins both games the chance for the second place will be fairly good, and Manager Smith will try a double- header. If Atlanta loses Wednesday then only one game a day goes for the New Orleans series. Just at present the race for second place stands; Memphis—Won 76. lost 54. Atlanta—Won 75, lost 55. Atlanta has six games left to play, including Wednesday's double-heart., and provided a double-header Is 2 with New Orleans. 1 lei1 Just how many games Memphis h». Is not certain, but probably only s v . So if Atlanta wins four out games, which ought to be easy ,2 Memphis loads three out of the' fi, p _ which seems more than probable IT lanta will go to second place ’ These things may easily happen anrt If they do then Atlanta will finish tK season In second place and the i,ia V «! will get the 31,000 bonu* by the gin of .003. mar ‘ But .003 la plenty when It cornea t„ winning.

I say It every fall, and every spring i report about three days ahead of time. When the sun comes out good and warm every spring and the bird, begin to sing I start for the railroad station, with a bat in one hand and a uniform In the other.” Something of Baseball News Clipped\ Rehashed, Copped Last chance to see Llehhnrt without go ing North next year," said Sir Chswles to night, when he told the gang Lleher Glen would perform against New Orleans Sun day. “He’ll never come back, once he gets there," concluded Babb with a sort of wist ful look at the Baron.—Memphis Commer cial Appeul. No, if the great Glen’s arm has not been ruined by overwork he Is pretty certain to stick with the majors. Certainly he ranks well with any of the pltehers sent out of the Southern in many years. Humor has It thnt Jimmy Collins, the de posed manager of the Boston Americans, Is to play third base for Philadelphia Ameri can* next year. Since Love Crons departed Connie Mack has dallied with Artie Brouth- ers. Knight, Oldrlng nnd Lennox and all of them have lieen snd disappointments. If Jimmy Coilfim goes to Philadelphia he will be team captain. Of course the New Orleans club Is not at tracting ns much attention now ns it did when the l>oya threatened to run nwny with the pennant nnd when the rubber hall agita tion was at Its height, hot whenever Char ley Frank appears even nt this late day there Is fear nnd trembling. You can never tell what the Dutchman will spring. It Js easy to see through the Jealousy In other towns. A very notorious fact which few pafters In the South will admit Is thnt the New Orleans club' has been for the last three seasons the best drawing team on th* road, and that Frank has put more money lu the pockets of the other clubs than any two managers.—New 'Orleans Item. Well, what if he has? He haa put plenty lu hia own, nnd that’s what he la out for. The Birmingham papers are still vigor ously denying thnt Wilhelm ever Intended to Jump tho Baron team or thnt he ever said thnt he Intended to Jump. And this happens to be the plnre where “Little Era" hns the Birmingham will#* fooled. Probably he never Intended to Jump. Every time a ball player gets on a particularly crusty grouch he swears be la goltig to Jump. The point Is that Wilhelm let It he gen erally understood that he wna going to Jnmp the Inat time be wna In Atlanta, and anytiody who said thnt he didn't Is making a large mistake. It • la n rather, encouraging fact that a bnll club entirely devoid of rowdy player* Is winning the pennant In the National I«engue. After what the Giant* and the Pirates have done In years past It began to look ns though only rowdy 1ml! club* could cop the rug*.
