THE MACON CLUB WINS
A TEN.INNING GAME BY A SCORE
OF 5 TO4.
KnOuff Pitches a Good Game, But Is
Not Effectively Supported
flames Elsewhere.

Toe home team played loora'~
teTday and failed TO give Pitcher
KuouG that effective support to wbicd
be was entitled. The official fc)re
shows S1eed charged with ore
error, Ms1sel one, Anofsws tive
ard Fusselbsch one, while the
Macon nina played with but
two eror3 Phelan played faul;lecs
game at second and did some rare. hat
ting. Broughton caught Kuo, IF with.
olt an error or passed be-, and made
two base hts, proving himself valua-
BILE acquisition to the nine. Mausel
made his usUal. costly mutf in left
field, letting In a run, and by clumsy
base rupLing and failure TO find the
ball managed to earn the der.5-
ion OF tbs crowd. Black did some
marvellous base stealing and well de-
served the applause that greeted his
run in the third inning. The
game was interesting thrC ughout and
up to the last half of the eighth inning,
with the Ecore to 2 in favor OF Memphis
looked like II victory for the Browns.
In that inning, however, Stearns got
to first ON Andrews tumble OF a
g'ounder and stole to second. Con-
nelly got his base on balls. Corcorsn
hits TO sbort-ft)p and was put out at
fist, Stears going to third and Connel-
ly TO second. Peltz hit to first and
was retired, Stearns scoring. Decker
struck out, ending the inning with the
score tied, 3 to 8. Neither side scored
in the ninth inning. In the tenth in
ming Sneed got goose egg by an easy
hit to second. Mansel made irst on
Wslsh's tumble # grounder. and
made second on Walsh's muf as
thrown by Decker. Andrews hit TO
pitcher, who fumbled, diverting the
bail past the second basemsn, An
drews reaching first in cafe
tY. Mansel made for home,
but the ball beat him about
ten feet and Decker put him out as
clearly as ever a man was put out on a
ball ground. Umpire Brennan, how
ever, declared him not out, and the
Macon nine, justly withdrew from the
diamond, refusing to continue the
game. After long wraDgle they
finally resumed play. Black struck
out and Broughton went out on hit
to third. With o score of 4 to
against them staring them
in the face the Macons went
t. the bat, ha-dly hoping to win.
Probably their wrath lost them
strength, for Gsiss, the firtt batter,
knocked the ball to Iight-field for two
bags. StsaTns hit to second aud was
intercepted at first. Connolly hit q
grounder to left field for one bag and
Guss scored. Corcoran then stepped
up ID the plate, but before he could
rap the ball Conn ely had stolen to
second. CoIcoTan then sent the ball
to center-feld and Connolly came ia
making the winning run for Macon,
The attendante was unusua ly large,
not seat being vacant on the grand
stand, aud the place reserved fer
lad es was bonofec by the presence OF
At least hundred repre- sentativ6s OF
the fair sex. The r, suit OF the game
YVES a great disappointment, but par
,iality 10 the home nine khould not
blind one to the feet that the score
would have been 8 to 2 in favor OF
Memphis but fr Andrews c:stly
error in the eighth inning. The game
was lost then and there, and only goes
to show that even as good player as
Andrews has his a days. The battery
for Macon to-day will be Chamberlain
and Daniels, the former being the
pitcher whom ihe Chattanooga nine
knocked lilly the fl rst whack they got
at him. Black and Broughton will
hold the oiu,a for Memphis.
