It started off badly for the Crackers, Sparks, whose arm has not been right of Inte, was hit quite freely, and dropped out at the end of the fourth, with the score 3 to 2 In fa tor of Frank's Frights. Harley went In to save the day, and Dick's pitching was of the Clnas A va riety. In the last fire Innings. New Orleans made Just two hits, snd not a man passed second. Jordan, Fox and Phillips combined In the run which fled the 3»me. Jordan went safe on Silver Bill's error, and acared on Fox's hit. Harley scored the ran which won the game. lie opened up the seventh In ning with the first hit be has made In forty-seven games, or therealmtits. A passed ball advanced him a base. Winters' Infield hit sent him to third, and be scored on Crosier's hit. The Atlanta team played right at Its best. The fielding was errorless, and the hitting timely. Kvery play went off with a big league snap, and from end to end the Pelicans were helpless. * Frank's men played* good ball and If their hitting only equaled their fielding, they would be about the best In the league.

Manager Frank should set at rest the wild rnmorn that "That Dutchman" planned a big coup at vote aa I think, nuutu m«u«nn < ■■>■>. "and I certainly think that Vaughan had no right to the man. "The constitution of the league distinct ly provides that no Southern League play er can lie secured from another team dur ing the la at thirty daya of the playing sea son. I understand that Judge Kavanaugh aaya that thla rule can not hold, because It wrong dictate u clause In the national ment. think, though, that the president la "here. The National Association enh what rules we ahall have that gov- relates to the trading of players ff-om one r tn to another In oar own league. And they can't, then the Caatro deal waa contrary to our constitution on the fare of It—regardless of whether the transfer waa a sale nr a loan, and all the games In which he played should be thrown out. "However," concluded Manager Frank, "I prefer to win games on the diamond, snd not at the league meetings. They took twenty-five games away from me on that St. Vralu deal, and there fa no reason why they should not from Birmingham. "But, what'a the use?" If Atlanta finishes second In the league, race It la doubtful If the local association does not owe It, as a dutv to the league, to protest the games In which Castro play ed. And If Memphis finishes second, the duty - - Memphis. the league, save possibly showed any disposition to win a pennant In a league meeting. And certainly Atlanta doea not want one secured BuMt^'seema about time that some one made a ^protest against deals like that If Birmingham gets away with It thla gear, what ts to prevent New Orleans, ssy, from getting three or four or a half dnxen men from the tall end teams for the finish of next season's race? It would be as fair for them aa for “aW.^ things were allowed to con tinue, pennant races would become a farce. The strong teams would strengthen at the end of every season at the expense of the weak ones, and baseball would be- coma a pretty poor show. If Charley Frank's contention la true that the provision of the Southern League’s constitution which forbids sales or trades of any kind within the league In the last thirty daya of the playing aeaaon la not In conflict with a rule of the National Asso ciation, then every game In which (.'astro played should lie set aside. If this pro vision dogs not stand, then every game In which Castro played liefore he was actual- throw's out. Atlanta do< does not rare player should be who gets them, --w-- — - interested In en forcing the laws of the league and of the national agreement, even against her friends.
