Savannah will play the third game of
the present Nashville Savannah series
this afternoon.
Manager Goldsby, of the Nashviles,
with number of friends made an eXcur-
Sion TO the salts yesterday.
1t is singular that the Atlanta papers
give so ralpable an illustration OF the un
reliability Of their alleged news as is done
in their base ball columns.
The most ridiculous attempt at bare
faced robbery in the annals of base ball
scoring is Atlanta's subtraction OF one
Of SaYannah's victories over Chata-
noOga.
The Brennan Base Ball club defeated
the Young Sayannahs yesterday by the
one sided score of Is TO o. The game was
played near the One-mile post on the Cen
trail railroad. Both clubs are West Broad
street organizations.
Ofcourse Atlanta claimed to be first in
making up her summary yesterday. This
Is only one of Atlanta's far-tetched Jokes.
People who want to get the unvarnished
truth about the situation of course never
depend on the Capital City scribes TO fur
nish it.
The question of playing off deferred
games should be settled at once, and not
be left undecided until the very end OF the
season. Savannah has already more at
stake in this respect than any other club
and should have the matter settled while
there is a reasonable chance OF getting
square deal.
Nine consecutive victories is the best
record made by any association club this
season. 1t was recently accomplished by
I aNriI
and tae Pittsburgs have each won seven
consecutive games. Savannah has won
the greatest number OF games cOnsecu-
lively OF any club in the Southern League,
having won eight straights.
The Philadelphia club thinks that it will
win the league pennant. 1t bases it's
claim on the fact that the players are in
perfect condition, while the two batteries
of the club, Casey and Mcclure and Fer
guson and Clements, cannot be equaled
anywhere. Further than this, McCOr-
mick, the Chicago pitcher, will be sent to
Hot springs. Baldwin, the crack Detroit
pitcher, is weakening, and Welch, OF the
New 1orks, has been batted freely for
month past.
The Plttsburg catcher. George Mill er,
who had romantic meeting with his sup
posed sister recently in st. Louis, is IL
Illustrated in late number of the Police
News. A young woman is repre-
scented as throwing her arms
around the neck of base
ball player and kissing hin, after remark
ing: "Oh, George, you are too sweet for
anything" A number OF ball players
supposed to be Glenn, Carroll and Calvin
are standing by watching the proceed
ing with enyious eyes.
The Macon club has secured j. II.
Hines. He will report to the club in
Charleston. Hines will probably play at
third base, but he can do good turn in
the box. He is good batter and con-
scientlous player. Jere Moore, who was
engaged to catch Chamberlin. owing to
some slight misunderstanding of arrange
ments, cannot be secured. Another good
catcher is being negotiated with, and he
will probably be behind the bat with the
first games after the Char lesion series.
Daniels Will catch the four games in
Charleston.
Atlanta will put up a new pitcher in
Tuesdays game with Memphis, Charles
Morris, of the University nine. Morris
has reputation as an amateur pitcher,
and with him In the box the 'Versity team
has proved invlncible 1t has beaten club
after club and in the past five games only
six hits have been made off Morris. He
has never faced professionals In game
but has practiced with the Atlantas for
several days, and will go into the box
Tuesday in good shape. Morris gradu-
ated at the last weeks commencement
with hOnOrs, and took the degree of
bachelor of philosophy. He is brilliant
scholar as well as athlete, and large
crowd OF Athenians and students will be
on hand Tuesday to see the champion OF
the university face the professionals. 1t
is the only time, perhaps, Morris will be
able to pitch, as he is simply on visit to
Atlanta.
