WONINTHE TENTHINNING
SAVANNAH HAS A HARD TIME
DEFEATING CHARLES TON.

HeDgIe Reinstated by President Prouu-
fit attic Request of the Charleston d.
rectors-Atlanta Knocks out Nashville
Completely Memphis and Macon
Play Tie Game.
A feeling of uncertainty as to how yes
terday's game in Charleston would result
drew out a big crowd to FQrds' Opera
House yesterday. Striefs home run called
forth cheer which told that the crowd
believed the club had struck II winning
gait. After the eighth inning everybody
was glum till cheer in the tenth inning
told that the game was won. The story oil
the fight is excellently we'll told in the APP
pended special from Charleston.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug, 7.-SaVan-
nah won the most interesting and
in some respects the most remarkable
game of ball to-day that has ever been
seen on the Southern diamond. The game
was witnessed by 5000 persons, the inter-
est being Increased by the rumor that
Hengle would umpire, which proved 10
be true. Hengle had bought his ticket
and was on board the steamer, which
sailed for New York at IL O'Clock this
morning, when the President OF the
Charleston Base Ball Association took
lm OH WIN QlbpdJCu IEOlu i IbSlieuO
Proudtit consenting to reappOint him at
the instance OF the Charleston club. The
tact is that while all Charleston thinks
that Hergle made a horrible blunder in
his decision on Thursdays game, ne is
ackno wledged to be the best umpire in
the South, besides which Charleston
don't mind losing game or two
to Savannah. There was really
no danger of his being hurt
on Thursday. The crowd that surrounded
him was composed OF gentlemen VINO
went there to shield him from the mob.
The remarkable feature Of the game was
the battingin the first inning, when the two
clubs made six earned runs-SaVannah
four and Charleston two. Charleston in
the opening got two singles and IA double,
winch netted her two runs. Savannah
came to the bat and got IN one single, two
doubles ana a home run, netting her
four runs. From this on neither side
scored until the sixth inning was reached
when Charleston got In two runs, princi-
pally on wild throw OF Field to the home
plate. After that both sides failed to
score until the tenth inning. Miller went
out. O'Day got his first on ball FUN
bied by the second baseman. Gillen got
lirst on called balls. Hotalng went out
on short hit, which, however, advanced
O'Day to third and Gillen to second.
Then O'Day scored on hit by Field, win
ming the game by a score Of 5 to 4. Fol-
lowing is the official score:

Kentucky has earned for herself a reputa-

week that for deliberate ooolnees is beyond
comparison with any past experience. 1t IS
true there was some prOvocation ana several
reasons for the onslaught, but opponents of
the parties who dld tie cutting are greatly
excited over 1t. When dun times aud a desire
