THEY PLAYED A TIE GAME |
GOLDSBY'SM MEN GIVE THE HOME
CLUB A CLOSE CALL.

The Game Ended after Ten Innings on
account or Darkness-Duudon Batted
FOR Twelve Bases-An on Day for Both
Tesms-Presidont PrOudht and the
Deferred Savannah Memphis Game
His Views on Base Ball.
The home team and the Nashyilles
played a ten-inning game yesterday.
Neither club won. The score at the end
Of the tenth inning was tie.
Between 800 and 300 people went out to
the ball grounds confident that Savannah
would win the game. At first
1T looked very much that way.
The visitors played loosely and the home
club hlled the bases in the first innin &
without a man out. A balk by Dundon
gave Strict his base and sent Hotaling
home. Field, Collins and strict were Sill
on bases. sutcliffe fouled out, Field was
caught trying to steal home and Miller
dropped fly into Marr's hands. retiring
the SIDE and leaving Collins and strict on
bases.
After the first inning both clubs played
better ball. Shreve was inclined to be
wild in his delivery and was not as eftec-
1--WE as nc has been. Dund0n was not in
his usual form and did not have the con-
trol OF the ball that he usually has.
ShreVe was nit fewer times, and welded
but seven bases. Dundon WAS hit nine
times safe and yielded twelve bases. Both
ooNmen were well supported behind the
bat.
The visitors scored their first run in the
thIrd inning. Dundon was given his base
on balls and went to second Oh wild
pitch. GOldsby was at the bat and struck
a gTounuer TO Miller, VINO threw to iii ST.
TWO men were out and DundOn started
home from second. Every body thought
GoldsDy was out at first and DundOn,
who had passed third, left the base line
and was nearly to the players bench
when the umpire decided GOldsby safe.
Field held the ball and started to head
DGndon oil at home, but was too far away,
and dummy" scored.
Neither side scored again until the
sixth inning. when SutCliis and Miller
scored for the home team and GoIdsby and
Mari for the visitors. The remaining four
innings We're played without run. At
the ,eud OF the zenith inning the umpire
called the game on account OF darkness.
There were some brilliant plays on both
sides. Strict played q beautiful game at
third and batted heavily. Aliller's field
work was fine, aud Arundel, behind the
bat, played an errorless game. Goldsby
ana the batting tor the visitors aud got
i've OF the seven bases that Shreve
yielded. Umpire Merrltt's decisions
were not satisfactory to either club, and
showed plainly that he is not the man Tor
the place. There Is not doubt but that his
decisions are made according to his best
judgment and with the utmost i'm
partially, but he fails TO keep the run of
the game. The following is the score:

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
Items Gathered Along the Track
and Crossties.


The Central railroads sleepers 20 out
crowded every night. The CentraPs sum
mer travel Is larger now than it mas ever
been before.
The Blue Springs and Orange City
Ella. railroad, to run to Smyrna, is COM
pleted to Lake Helen, eight miles from
Blue Springs.
1t is understood that funds for paying
of the contractors, etc, OF the Savannah,
Dublin and Western railroad will arrive
in Macon Friday.
The contract for building both the
freight and passenger depOts OF the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad,
at Macon, has been given to Vincent q
Jones, OF Knoxville, Tenn.
The Central railroads passenger bust
ness this year, in spite of the restrictions
by the Southern Passenger Committee,
mas been greater than it has ever been.
The Central has opened up a new terri
tory in South Carolina, and its business
In this direction Is increasing rapidly.
The Jackson News says the people in
that section have not been so enthusiastic
on the railroad question lately. The pro-
jectOrs Of the road there have surveyed
so many routes and seem TO be SO unset
tied as TO what they will do, the people
have grown weary, and their enthusiasm
is relaxing.
When the Greenville and Laurens rail
road is completed, which will be about
Aug. 90, 1t Will be the shortest line from
Charleston to Greenville, and the COM
pleton of the Savannah Valley railroad
about the same time will form the shortest
line from Charleston to Anderson, ). c.,
and Walhalla.
1t is reported, says the Montezuma Re-
cord, that railroad is to be built from
Montezuma to ByrOnville, Vienna and to
Pateyllle, in Dooly county. The same
report goes on to say that the scheme Is
backed up by the Central Railroad Com
pany- 1t appears that D0oly, which has
never had any railroad facilities, promises
to be perfect network of roads. 1t is
now said that the Atlanta and Hawkins
VILE road will be built from Fort Valley
to Vienna, ard tnen on to Valdosta.
