About the Umpiring-rhe Other
League Games
There was not much of crowd at the
Fords Opera House yesterday afternoon,
The shut-out that Charleston gave the
homo club Thursday rather lessened the
interest in the game, and altogether
there were not over 70 people In the hall.
Up to the sixth inning the home club had
the lead. At the end Of the inning the
score stood TO 3 in SaYannahs favor.
In the sixth inning the Charlestons scored
three runs, giving them the lead. In the
next inning Savannah got it back,
with two men out and Fields and Collins
on bases. +. Moriarity landed the ball
into the centre field and both runners
scored.
At the end OF the seventh inning the
score stood to 7 IN favor of Charleston.
Manager H0taling claimed that Richmond
ana McAieer, who scored in the seventh,
were both put out before reaching The
plate. The umpire Overruled his protest,
and both runs were allowed.
In the eighth inning q brilliant double
play By Collins and Field put out the first
two men at the bat. The next man was
thrown out at first. Neither side scored
in the last two innings and the game
ended as it stood at the end Of the
seventh.
The NEWS Charleston special says:
There was great falling off in the game
compared with the playing in the two
preceding games. Savannah put up
Moriarity and Stockwell for a battery, but
played ODay in the field against contin-
gencIes. Charleston put up Warner and
Hines. The pitching on both sides was
weak. MOriarity, although he yielded ten
hits, including two doubles and a three
Dagger, managed To strike out seven men
while Warner failed to strike out a single
man and yielded twelve singles. These
however, were too scattering to be effec-
tive. Savannah led up to the sixth inu-
ing, when by costly errors Charleston
caught up. This was due to MUriarty's
bad work in the box. One man
being out, be gave Richmond aud Hines
bases by hitting them with the ball.
The next batter managed to get hit-and
the ball beng badly helded three runs
were put to the credit of Charleston.
Therewere several close decisions, against
which Manager HOtalng protested. In
the seventh inning Charleston again
scored three runs on a passed ball and a
close decision. Gardner, who was al the
bat, struck out with view TO making a
sacrifice hit. Stockwell did not catch
the ball but picSed it up. Before ne could
touch Gardner the latter was off for
first base. There was some confusion in
the field at the time and Field had left
his base. The bail was thrown to him,
but Gardner managed to dodge him and
was declared safe on first. In this inning
Savannah managed 10 fill the bases with
only one out. but the men seemed to be
ratified, and were retired without scoring.
The contested feature of yesterdays
game was Gilman's run. Gilman ran to
first base and ran over it. A wild throw
from third base by Strict sent the ball
over into the right field. Gilman's
attention was called to it, and
without returning and touching
his base he ran around to third, as claimed
by Savannah. Savannah also claimed
that he was put out at home plate. the
decision being very close. Both points
were disallowed by the umpire. Manager
HOtaling has not protested the game, He
said this afternoon that it was no use pro-
testing. All be had TO say about it was
that it was robbery, and later he said en-
phatically that Savannah was robbed of
this afternoons game. The following is
the score:
