olarea that Manager Hireob miauoder
atood the oontraot and bealdta tbia,
that be put on too muib atjle for a
baaeball club.
Sha matter retched a climax at Bris
bioe piA* yesterday afternoon
afthe the second of the Atlanta Brunt
wiok aarlaa of games bad ended in a
row and a fiasco tn tbe third inning l
Atlanta waa ply,ng with tba reek
leaaneaa and abandon of a lot of
aobool boy a, while Brunswick uiad
tba diamond for a merry-go-round
Io the third inning, white Brnnawick
waa at tba bat, the aoora atood aonue
thing like 20 to 8 in fayor of the visi
tors and the bases were all full with
nobody out and the runs being piled
up as high as Mount Olympus-.'
Suddenly one of tbs Atlanta playara
got the ball, probably io a basket, and
threw it far over tbe fenos, Tbia
broke up tbe game.
Mtftnqgggr Palmer was at tbe gate office,
counting the money, a job
n’t bays requjred two or
ihrse minutes. Tbe day before the total
gate receipts had been $lB.lO. Yester
day afternoon the receipts were not
nearly so heavy.
HOW HI WAS Ol’T
Maneger Hirsch saw that “half tbs
gate receipts” was too small a thing to
haggle oyer, to he demanded his ex
penses op to da'e, inciting about S9O.
Kr railroad fare and over S4O hotel
bill.
Manager Palmer couldn't catch onto
Manager Hirsch’s financial figures. Man
ager Birsch said he was out—sloo—and
out on a foul. Be waa willing, be said
to make the home run at his own ex
penae provided the fare to Atlanta and
the Kimball bills were paid.
Added to this little episode
row over the game and the demand that
some of the spectators made for their
money. They declared they had paid
good money to see good ball and they
witnessed a walking match around the
bases and a wild throw by an Atlanta
player.
gTATBMHKT FROM MANAGER PALMRR.
Manager Palmer made a statement
to a reporter of the Constitution. Be
said tbat tbs whole matter was dua ts
THE 'BRUNSWICK TIMES,
a miaunderataodiog on the part of
Manager Hiraob.
“I promitad Manager Hiraob ex

aaid Palmar, “but tbe axpeoeea meant,

tositiox.
Manager Birsch was seen at the Kim
ball house. He said he had brought 11
men to Atlanta on a telegram from Pal
mer, who agreed to pay all expenses and
give half the gate receips.
Uirach produced the telegram and
said:
'•1 acted on this. I have paid out stso
for railroad fare to get here and will
hare to pay (bat amount to get bach to
Brunswhfkr. Jfy expenaea
er SIOO. I have agreed to tikn Ahetare
here and the hotel bill and pay my own
way back home. A* to Palmer saying
he meant to pay my expenses only
anould it rain, why, I honestly behave
if it had rained today our crowd of
spectators would have been larger, for
some people might have gone there to
get out of the shower.
"1 believe Palmer intend, and to swindle
me and I have sworn out a warrant. If
he or his friends will pay what I aik,
and it is in reason, I will withdraw the
warrant.
WHAT rOSTSB THINKS ABOTT IT.
F. U. Foster, who has been in tbe
oity about three weeks trying to form
a southern league and whose .name
waa mentioned by Palmer, waa seen
and asked wbat be thought of the af
fair, Herepllad:
“ I know very little about it. I tried
to form a league and failed. Palmar
took bold of the olub for Atlanta and
he ia the only person known In the
oontraot wltb tbe Brunsvriok team,
I don't think Palmer knows rnueb
about ba ebtll matters, Taia morn
ing be sent word to Mr. Hirscb tbat
be (Hirscb) mast turnieb tbe ball* for
this afterncou’s gute. X don’t think
be m ant to do anything that waa
criminal. He is honest, 1 believe
but be justj doesn’t know how to act
in each matters. In my opinion tbe
affair baa grown out of misunder
standing wbiob will doubtless be
satirfictorlly arranged right away.
