now the boys found a club their equals,
and in this particular game their supe-
riors. The Stars are playing for the
League championship, and several of the
club being natives OF the city, and nearly
all citizens, their town pride and the
good playing of the whole nine will cause
them always to do their utmost to win.
We have before said the Oglethorpes had
a crack nine, and when they made bet
Ter score than the Stars it was proven"
The fact is the Oglethorpes are better
players every day than the Stars, out they
play poor game like every other club.

grounds: That the verdict was contrary

BASE BALL AND RACING.
THE RECORD OF THE LEAGUE
AND LOCAL DIAMOND.

The Savannah Clubs to Maintain Separ-
ate Observation-Disclosures Goes over
to the Dixies-ProVidence Plays Boston
a Fifteen Inning Game-The Augusta
Game Interrupted by the Rain-Events
on the Turf and Notes from the Sport
ing World,
There has been considerable talk about
a combination between the DIxies aud
OglethOrpes and the organization of a
new club. This seems to be the best
course to pursue, as from the material in
both clubs a crack nine could be
selected. The move was generally
urged by those interested in the
game. At a meeting of the DiXies last
night the matter was discussed and it
was decided that the club should retain
its present name and organization. 1t
viii be strengthened, however, by Fam
ming, who, il is understood has signed
for the remainder of the season
and viii take his position in the
box at the next game. This leaves the
OglethOrpes without their pitcher, as
Tanning was. in a measure, the strength
of the nine. The DiXies have, with this
acquisition, n strong and effective bat
terry, and, with one or two other changes,
they will be able to bring out the cham
pionsbip flag with nine that can wipe
out anything in the State.
The League diamond was the scene of a
series of closely contested games yester-
day. The Providence and Boston clubs
played a fifteen-inning game at Boston,
resulting in a victory for Providence by
score of 4 to 8. The result of the games
elsewhere was as follows:

TIE GRoovER SCHOLARSHIP.
An Endowment to Mercer University by
Mrs. Il. 4. Grower.

An Endowment to Mercer University by
Mrs. f. L. Grower.
Mrs. Eliza E. Grower; widow of the
late c. E. Grower, ofthis city, has sent to
Rev. A. B. Campbell, agent of the Mercer
University, check for $1,000 for the en-
dowment of a perpetual scholarship IN
that institution. Among the conditions
are that after her death the beneficiaries
shall be named by the Baptist Church
of this city, and that, other things
being equal, young men who desire
to devote themselves to the ministry are
to have the preference. Mr.. Campbell in
acknowledgment says: ''The amount Of
good to be accomplished by this handsome
donation cannot easily be estimated. The
anticipation Of it must afford the benevO-
lent donor great satisfaction. 1t is to be
hoped that other prosperous Georgia Rap
lists will initiate her worthy example.
This amount will almost certainly be du-
plicated by the joint contributions of the
other members Of our church at Savan-
nah. Perhaps the most beautiful feature
Of this benefaction is the exceeding cheer
fulness with which it was bestowed"

night an alarm Of fire striking from dis
trict No. called the fire department to
the vicinity Of Bay and Abercorn streets.
An immense crowd collected, but there
were no signs of a blaze when the fire.
men arrived. The cause OF the alarm was
the discovery Of sparks from the chimney
of a brick building occupied by John j..
MacMahOn, No. 9 Abercorn street, corner
of Bay lane. A telephone message to the
police barracks locating the fire caused
an alarm to be struck. a clerk in the

first on the scene, and saw the sparks be-
fore the alarm was sounded.
The occupants of the house were I'M
conscious of the alarm until aroused and
told that the roof was ON fire. There were
