President Of the Macon Base Ball Asso.
citation. and 6. r. sibley, President OF the
Augusta association, the committee ap-
pointed TO investigate the charges made
by Columbus against Memphis, met TINS

vincing testimony in the shape Of af1da-
wits were submitted, and the committee
telegraphed a recommendation 70 Presl-
dent Grady that the Memphis
club should be Immediately expelled
from the Southern League and Savannah
,,iyeu the vacant place. The gist OF the
charges against Memphis by Columbus
are embodied in an affidavit by FITZGERALD
II Savannah, before Justice Of the Peace
Molina. alleging that on the recent visit
of the Columbus Club 10 Mem
uhis beer and whisky was sold
in the grand stand, that people be-
came drunk. that lewd women were al
lowed in the grand stand, and that the Wis
ence. The complaints against the deliv-
cry Of the Memphis pitcher, together with
the Arrangement Of the pitchers box, and
other defects, were disregarded, and every
rule adopted by the Southern League d.
rectors grossly violated. AfiGavits SINH
lar 10 the above were also received from
Atlanta and other places. There is no
doubt that Memphis viii be Immediately
expelled.

BLAMING THE UMPIRE.
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, June TO
days game between Atlanta and Chatta-
noGga was Won by the former By a score
Of % 9. The game was lost by the Chat
ranDogas By the palpably unfair decisions
of Umpire McCue. He gave three de-
cisIOns, which were clearly unfair,
and gave the game to Atlanta.
On the sixth inning the score stood Chat
tanOoga and Atlanta 2, and McCue then
got in his work and every opportunity
that offered he gave the Atlantis the
advantage. He was Missed and at times
in danger Of assault. the crowd being so
worked up by his unfairness.
Earned runs-Chattanooga 3. AtlantaO
Right base hits were made on Bauer and 10
OF Hart.
Chattanooga had G errors and Atlanta 4.
Struck out-Hart 2, Bauer 10.
MEMPHIS TERRIBLY BEATEN.
MEMPHIS, TENN, June A large
crowd was at the park to-day 10 see the
second game between Memphis and Nash
Vile. COrrigan and Nash occupied the
points for Memphis, while NOss and Mari
acted for Nashville. The game was
very poor one, Nash being knocked almost
out OF his box, while VOss struck many
out. Both men were well supported be-
hind the bat. COrrigan, Memphis catcher,
was twice hurt, the last time having bis
finger broken. The errors were many on
Memphis part and very glaring. Many
sporting men say that the Memphis club
will not survive another trip, but this is
not authoritative. The score by innings
was as follows:

Base hiis--Mewphis 10, with total Of 10
bases; Nashville 10, with total Of % bases.
