ERRORS INSTEAD OF RUNS
SAVANNAH FILLS UP THE
WRONG SIDE OFTHE SCORE.

Umpire HenRie Bows to the VIII OF the
Mob and Rssigns-A Charlestonian
Officiatcs-Rain stops the Atlanta
Nashville Game-Memphis Wins at
Memphis.
There was no cheering after the first
inning at Fords' Opera House yesterday
afternoon. Those present watched an up
hill game after the second inning
and saw Savannah defeated by score Of
q to /. Tho batteries were Shreve and
Arundel and Sullivan and McVey.
Shreve's wild pitches, Arundel's passed
balls and an abundance of errors in the
field were the principal factors IN piling
up four of Charleston's runs, the
other two being credited by the scorer as
earned. 1t seems somewhat strange,
however, that Savannah's seven hits net
ted but one run. Savannah, however,
evidently had an off day and was out
played all around. The presence of a
Charlest0nian in a regular league UNI
pire's place was considered an 0minous
announcement by the opera house specta-
tors.
Field scored in the first inning by
getting first on safe hit, second on Col
Inns safe hit and running home on StriePs
safe drive to left field
In the second inning for Charleston
Shreve gave Powell base on balls. he
got second on bad throw by Arundel,
third on wild pitch, and scored on Ho-
taling's muff of Crowley's fly Crowley
got second on passed ball and reached
third and home on successive wild
pitches.
In the fifth inning Crowley was thrown
out at second by Hotaling, who dropped
MoAleer's fly with the object of making
double. McAleer, however, got first.
was advanced to third on SATELLITES muif
OF McVey's fly and Strief's failure to hold
the throw in. McAleer then scored on
Sullivan's safe hit to lett field.
In the sixth inning Phillips led off with
two-bagger and was advanced to third
by Brosnan's hit, Brosnan subsequently
stealing second, and both scoring ON Pow
clips safe hit to center field, Powell get
ting second on the throw home and scor-
ing on wild throw to third by Arundel.

CHARLESTON, 5. o., Aug. 6.-Umpire
Hengle telegraphed his resignation to
President Proudit last night and received
it's acceptance. He was on the ball
grounds to-day, but not in an official
capacity. BY mutual agreement the game
was umpired by John Z. Moran, of this
city, a member of the firm of Z. Moran,
hardware dealers. There were one or two
kicks from both sides as to his calling balls
and strikes, but, upon the whole, his
rulings were about as even as it was pos
sible for those of non-proiessional base
ball player to be. Charleston won the
game by heavy batting. The Savannah
team did not seem to play up to their
usual standard. Charleston opened and
was retired in one, two, three or
der. Savannah, in the first inning,
got four hits off Sullivan,
which, however, netted only one run. In
the second inning Charleston got in two
runs without base hit, principally
through bad mutf OF O'Day ia centre
field, wild throws and passed balls. In
the sixth inning the Charleston team got
on to Shreve's delivery and batted him
very freely, getting in three runs. The
visitors never scored after the first inning.
In the ninth Strict opened with clean
two-bagger, but was put out in an effort
to reach third. The following is the off
cial score:
