 * A protest by the Atlanta Crackers of a game, won by the Knoxville Smokies, 2 to 1, April 29, was thrown out by President Billy Evans.  The kick came over an interference ruling by Umpire Dutch Hoffman, who called Outfielder Treadway of the Crackers out when he collided with Pitcher Coffman in running to first base, as the hurler was fielding the ball.  Evans ruled the Atlanta protest lacked substantiation. - ''The Sporting News'' - May 13, 1943, page 10
