The excitement was intense as the Ogle-

also retiring on a fly, Tanning being
thrown out on first by Miller. The Stars
also retired in regular order, Gibson on a
fly, Leslie on first and Burkalow on fly

but was retired in trying to make
second when Fitzgerald came home.
He was run out by Lawrence assisted by

striking out. Hoggins made fine base
hit, stole second and was carried to third
by hit from Cullom, Lewis putting out
the side by a fly to catcher, leaving Hog
gins on third and CullOm on second, with
one more run for the home club. The
rest of the game was a continuous strug-
gle on the part of the Stars for the lead or
tie, but it resulted in goose-eggs
for each nine, leaving the victory
in the hands of the Oglethorpes
by a score of 3 to .. The finest playing
was by Seaman, short-stop, Lewis on first,
Hoggins and Fitzgerald on third and be-
hind the bat. Fanning's pitching was as
fine a piece of work as has ever been seen
here. The outfield had very little to do,
but did we'll what they were called upon
to do. Rossiter, on second, made several
fine plays, assisting Lewis on
first. The playing of Tanning and
Lewis, the latter assisting the
former three times, was much admired,
versal praise, and the double play of Hog
gins IN catching hot liner on third and
putting out Burkalow as well as the bat |
ter was fine. The Stars played a fine |
fielding game, but were unable to get on |
to Fanning's curves. Ruhl pitched line |
game, and the playing of Collins on |
first and Miller short stop was as fine |
as could be found. The boys can con-
gratulate themselves on their victory, |
the ''Stars sung together" and |
did it up Brown, Clinching 1t |
on their march through Dixie, yet they |
are now s'fallen Stars"
There will be an exhibition
game this afternoon, between |
a picked nine of the DiXies and Ogle- |
thorpes and the Stars, provided the Cen
trail Citys do not put in an appearance to |
play the regular schedule game with the |
DiXies. 1t is not thought that the Macon |
club will come, as the DiXies telegraphed |
TO find out if they would fill their dates, |
and have heard nothing from them. The |
is the score:
oGLETHoRPEs.
