WANY freak plays have been
MI made in the Southern league
Va in seasons past, writes x
reaeuer Some of them had a
hearing on the result Of the game,
while others did not. Unnatural
conditions have arisen in games
which resulted in numerous argu-
ments
81 There was an incident that oc-
Cured in Atlanta in 1904, and had
not Memphis won the pennant it
would probably have brought up an
argument that would have given
the league directors some trouble
10 decide Tony Mullane was UNI
hiring in a closely contested game,
3 and had made a decision that caus-
ed the Atlanta club to raise an aw-
81 fu howl. The result was, he
81 changed his decision on the play,
which brought out an even more
emphatic protest from the Mem
phis club
He finally broke through the pro-
testing players, going to the club
house The players waited some
minutes. and one of the Atlanta
y sport writer's went in search of Null
lane, and caught him as he was
q going out OF the gate. He asked
81 him what he had called the game,
and NTullane replied that he had
called it nothing, and told him to
ask that bunch of Indians in there,
81 referring to the players.
The game was given to the At
q lanta club by the newspapers the
81 next morning, although there had
n never been any forfeiture made by
Il the umpire.
81 r HERE was a fan in Birmingham
who used to take a little fox
N terrier to the games with him, and
a one day in game against the New
n Orleans club Bill Evans, the second
q baseman of the Pelicans' team,
81 knocked down a batted ball and it
81 rolled over toward the foul line.
& The fox terrier, seeing the rolling
nail, thought that he would take
s. part in the game, and, grabbing the
n pail IN his mouth, he started play
q fully to run. OF course. the play
n ofs tried to catch him. with the
result that the man that hit the
s. nall went all the way around to the
& plate before the ball could be re-
q covered.
81 A ODD home run was made by
Fred Abbot at the Athletic park
grounds in New Orleans, while
4 paying the Nashville team there.
