Rumors That Atlanta Players Were Of fered B0nuE for Winning and Pitchers Opposing Memphis
 Were Given Indueements.
Al Ii,tla poclf dlsnatch says:

A Little Rock dispatch says:
 If, as has been reported, the Atlanta Baseball Club has offered a cash bonus to be distributed among players of the team in case they won the pennant, that club is likely to find itself in seri- ous difficulties with President Kava- naugh.
 .T am inclined to believe that reports of the club having offered bonus are misleading" said President Kavanaugh r"I sincerely hope so, for l would re- gard such conduct as unsportsman- like"
 ~But if, upon investigation, 1t is found that the club did offer a bonus to nlavers. 1 shall recommend to the hoard of directors that the Atlanta Club be fined to the full extent pro- Yided by the constitution. The giving of a bonus is plain violation of the sal arv limit It is also prohibited by rules of the national commission and If this report should be true. Atlanta will find itself in difficulties with that body also" - ,
 President Kavanaugh will investi- gate rumors that Atlanta offered money to pitchers of the teams that were opposing Memphis.
 T do not believe that these reports were true" said he, but if they were

could not express my disapproval too strongly. Tn my opinion this Is nearly as bad as 1t would be to hire players to throw games and e man who would accept money for winning them be- lieve would also accept it for throwing them"
 Tt is a mistake" said one member of the Memphii when asked about the report that pitchers had been rewarded by cash donations for pitching out or their turns against the Memphii. about pitchers being offered money to pitch out of their regular order to beat don't think that any member or the Memphis team could say positively that he knew that money was being offered to the pitchers to pitch out Of their turns. But they certainly got in ducements to win games. I'd Ike to have for my next two months expenses the amount that Wilhelm got for beat ing. us in his two games at Birming- ham. Maxwell was also salved. or course there is no way to prove this. There will never be any way to prove anything of this sort. But for three weeks prior to the close of the pennant race pitchaxs, the best the opposing clubs could get, were sent against us regardless of their regular turns to pitch We thought we were as popu- lar as the Athletic Club. We still be- Iieve we are. But you know money makes the mare go and that may have been the real inducement behind the whole works, We certainly were up against a stiff proposition everywhere we went and even at home in the shape of the best opponents could march out.

ATTORNEY IS GIVEN PARDON Freedom Granted Wiley
 Tom Johnson. GOVERNOR RESTORES RIGHTS He Wrote Very Abusive Letter to
 Judge John Pelham. Was Tried Before Jury, Fined s25, Sem tenced To Five Months' Imprison- menf And Debarred From
 Practice fer onense.

After serving half of a five months sentence imposed on him for writing an abusive letter to Judge John Pelham. of the Circuit Court of Shelby county, Wiley Tom Johnson. a former attorney of Helena. was pardoned by Governor Conner yesterday, and his full political and civil rights restored.
 The case is a most unusual one. in which the motive of presiding judge was impugned by an attorney at the bar through a personal letter. The letter was made public by Judge Pel- ham, and Johnson was brought to trial.
 It was alleged by Johnson that he defended man in Judge Pelham's court. and that the client was con- victed. Later, Johnson claimed, the judge went to the jail where the pris- oner was confined and told him that if he had not hired a drunken lawyer like Johnson, he would have gotten off all right.
 This provoked a very abusive letter from Johnson to Judge Pelham, with the result that he was placed under arrest, tried and convicted. The jury recommended a fine of $25 and costs and five months Imprisonment. John son was placed in jail on July 1, where he has been while his friends have been trying to secure his release. He was also debarred from practice.
 A petition with the names of 700 reputable citizens signed to 1t was sent to the Governor, with a history of the case written by Colonel Sam Will John. Colonel John states that Judge Pelham and Solicitor Borden H. Burr, Jr., wrote to Jailer J. H. Fulton, telling him that Johnson was wasting time in Jail, as he was sentenced to five months hard labor. according to the bench notes of the presiding judge. They advised the Jailer 10 let the prisoner out
 Colonel John intimates that this was a scheme to have Johnson leave the jail and then arrest him for making his escape. He incorporated in his pe- tition a statement that he wrote to the jailor requesting this correspondence. as 1t was official between the judge and solicitor and the 1ailer. This re- quest was refused, he said.
 When the prisoner who made the statement that Judge Pelham had call ed on him admitted that he had spoken falsely 1t is cited by Colonel John that Johnson immediately wrote letter Of apology and had 1t read in open court. This letter was also spread on the minutes of the court.
 In stating his reason for pardon, Governor Conner said that he believed this man had been punished suficief1t- Iy, and that he evidently wrote the letter without reconciliation. John son is over 50 years of age
 Governor Conner also pardoned Hen ry Johnson, who was convicted of mur- der in the second degree in Chiffon County. Johnson was paroled 8 year ago by Governor Jelks, and on the showing since that time he has con- ducted himself in an exemplary man. ner, the Governor granted him 6 full pardon and restored his rights of cit- izenship.
