RNo game at Atlanta OF Chattanooga
yesterday on account OF rain.
SNEKD may be a poor manager, but
be is a rafting good ball player all the
same.
THE prics OF home Iuns is going up
in the market. The latest quotation
is $64 35.
No GAME to-day. Tomorrow Ma
con at Atlanta, Charleston at Nash
vile. Savannah at Memphis, Augusta
at Chattanooga.
WHITRHEAD's catch of a foul fly at
the very edge OF the bleaching board
in the left field was ons of the best
plays Of the day.
SUTcLIFFE made a surprising catch
OF foul fly yesterday. There are few
cstchers who would have got that ball
within six inches Of the grand stand.
SANTRY, the new shortstop, made
an excellent impression. One put out,
two assists, one base hit and no error
is a remarkably fine record for a new
man. He promises to fill the bill.
II the popularity Of baseball con-
tinues to increase among the ladies at
it's present rate the grand stand will
have to be materially enlarged. 1t
was uncomfoltably jammed ye5ter-
day.
THE Augusta papers represent the
people OF that town as very sore over
their clubs defeats in Memphis. They
expected to win more than one out Of
four games. The Augusta people must
want the earth.
PITCHER RRARDoN has been fined
500 and suspended for the rest OF the
season for losing Mondays game. In
the light of the facts before us the
seton of the Augusta Club in the
premises is arbitrary, unjust aud UNI
justifiable.
The disgraceiul habit of guying the
umpire is creeping into vogue here.
1t is to be hop d that such rutfianly
conduct will not be encouraged,
One such episode as marred yester-
days game when a number OF alleged
gentlemen shouted traits" at Umpire
Brennan because his judgment Of a
supposed put out conficted with
theirs is enough for whole season.
YESTERDAY morning the APPEAL
contained the following statement:
"Whitehead and Phelan are regainiDg
their batting form. They will make
some pitcher sick yet" White head
lost no time in verifying the APPEALS
prediction by knocking the ball over
the fence for home run. 1t now re-
msins for Phelan to carry out his part
OF the programme, and he may be re-.
Ii d upon to dot
SOME apprehension as to the result
OF yesterdays game was entertained
by those VINO knew that two of the
Memphis nine were seen in a pTomi-
neut beer saloon &C 3 o'clock am.
drinking beer. Such conduct is not
conducive of good ball playing aud
ouqht to cease. The names Of the Of
Tending players are withheld for the
present, but repetition of such ca
iousing will lead to the exposure Of
the offenders. The Memphis people
like good hitters, but it depends very
much on what they are "hittipg."
CHATTANOOGA Times, 18Th: "Mat.
thiaR, Chattanoo gs's shoTtStop, jumped
bis contract Saturday night, having
received pay for two weeks during
which he did no work, and left owing
the club considerable money. 1t is the
most rascally case yet reported in the
Southern League, and ne has been
placed ON the black list TO stay. The
club hrs been especially kind to this
man, and he has repaid it by the
basett ingratitude and most inexcusa
BILE knavery. Chattanooga will see to
it that Matthias doesn't play ball AGAR
soon,"
