BASEBALL NOTES.

FUssELBAoH is developing into a
slugger. Three safe hits yesterday.
RAIN prevented the New York-De.
troit ball game at New York yesterday.
HART, the promising young pitcher,
is printer and sets type during the
season.
RAIN prevented the Philadelphia
Chicsgo game at Philadelphia yester-
day.
NASHVILLE needs new pitchers.
Well, she may have Brynan back.
Nothing mean about Memphis.
O'LEARY has let down amazingly.
He is nothing like the pitcher he was
when he held Augusta down to ole
hit.
PHELAN is doing good work at short,
aud made some fine plays yesterday.
TIE old man continues TO find the ball
also with gratifying frequency.
SAVANNAH defeated Charleston yes
terday by ascore of 5 to 4. The bat;
teIies were O'Day and Gillen for Sa-
vannsb, Holacher and Hires for
Charleston.
UMPIRE HENeLE, who was mobbed
at Charleston yesterday, telegraphed his
resignation, which was accepted. A
local amateur, Mr.. ]. P. Moran, re.
placed him in the Savannah Charles
ton game.
MCSoRLEY was sick yesterday, and
that made an arrangement of the
players necessary, which was fatal to
success. Snesd played third and Fus-
selbach right field. At critical junct'
ures each made an eflor that was
costly.
PETIT wouldn't be bad acquisition
for Memphis next year. There are
few fielders that surpass him; even
Bobby Black has 10 hustle to keep up
with him. Black, however, is o good
pitcher, snd there's where be gets
away with Peltz
STEARNs, the best all around player
in the league, ought to be signed by
Memphis next season. He can play
any position well, is safe and sure
batter and never gets "Iauled He is
too great luxury for poor ball pay
ing town like Macon; 100 iich for Ma
con blood, as it were.
O'LEARY made home Iun yester-
day but no collection was made for
MIN for two Ieaycns. Fist, the crowd
was too small, and secondly, Memphis
was too far ahead and the grand stand
thought the game would be a walk
over. A home run in the eleventh or
twelfth inning would have raid hand
somely.
BEHEN, the player who covers first
base so skilfully for Macon, is a coun-
try boy, who lives near Macon, and
never played in professional game
before this season. He will make his
mark ii he decides to adopt baseball
as a ca eer. There isn't lazy bone
in his body, and he goes for every
thing within an acre OF him. THAT'S
the sort of material the diamond
needs.
Ina five inning game yesterday the
]. III. Allen, jr.'s, had picnic with the
Arthur Taylors, and defeated them by
score of 80 to H. The Aliens only
msde II errors, while the Taylors were
not satisfied with less than "a The
batteries were Graham and Griffith
for the Aliens, Smith and Joynsr for
the Tsylors. S ruck out-By Griffith,

THIS is why Charleston baseball
cranks wanted to kill Hengle last
Thursday: "When Savannah went to
the bat in the last half OF the ninth
inr ing the gaze stcoi to l, in favor
Of he home club. Savannsh scored
run and subsequently had the second
and third bases manned. At thispoint
the man at the bit hit to first, and see-
ing the hopele, suess of the case
stopped running. The home team,
thlnAiag that Savannah had given up
the game, GAME in and then the Sa-
vsnnah batter leisurely trot ed
to hrst base, and Savannah
scored two more runs, whioa
were allowed by the umpire. This
outrageous decision Infatuated the
crowd and several hundred men
rushed upon the diamond, surrounding
Henge and threatened to kill him.
For few moments it looked critical
for the umpire, who realizing his dan
ger, had turned as white as a sheet,
but the earnest entresties OF he presi-
dent OF the home club more than the
efforts OF several police officers saved
Hengle from serious bodily harm, il
not worse"
The st. Louis League baseball team
is fast nearing dissolution. Dunlap,
the famous second baseman, has been
released, and has signed with the
Detroits. The ssme can also be said
in day or two, of Glsscock and Denny
and Manager Lucas is about to dis
band the club and sever his conDec-
ton with the League. The later has
made several visits, it is UNDER TODD,
to Chicago, aud has called upon Presi-
dent Spalding, in order to make some
arrangement whereby league games
may be PLAYED in st. Louis on Sunday.
President Spalding has intimated that
no such arrangement is possI BILE and
Manager Lucas says that a remunera-
tive business cannot be done by his
team otherwise, and it is said that dis
solution has been determined upon.
The PittsbUtg American Association
team has, it is understood, agreed to
withdraw from that organization and
supply the vacancy thus made. These |
char yes IL is confidently eXDected,
