Jones Too Tough, Blanks Chattanooga Wednesday, June 2nd , 1915 The Savannah Goobers shut out the Chattanooga Nickajacks, 2-0, behind the strong pitching of Archie Jones. Jones surrendered only 5 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 2. Following the last out, Jones appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Chattanooga manager John Johnson, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Jones's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Nickajacks skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Goobers press conference, Jones confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Jones said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Savannah manager Willie Gatewood added. This season, Jones has gone 7-6 with an ERA of 2.71, posting 37 strikeouts in 106.1 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
