The game yesterday between the
Memphis and Augusta Baseball Clubs
established Holacher'ssupeIioriiy over
Augustus other pitchers very conclu-
sively. He held the locals down to
eight hits and struck out five men, and
il was as much luck as anything else
that gave the game TO the locals. 1t
was snybody's game until the last
man was put out, end even in the
ninth inning the visitors stood chance
to win. After two men we're out Har-
bridge and Sutciffe both bit safely.
Hogan then hit long and difficult fly
to right field, and Sneed, by as bill
liant aud skilliul a play as he ever
made, got the ball and retired the
side; but il he had muffsd at that
critical juncture the hit would have
been good for tive bags, Hsrbridge aud
Sutcliffe would have scored and Kap.
pei, who was tho next batter, would
have come very near bringing Hogan
in. fortunately all this was ave ided by
Sneed's catch; but it looked very blue
for the locals while that fly was sailing
out to right field. The game YVES in
teresting throughout, and luck favored
the locals from the first inning.
Sueed flied out to Hogan, Mansell
made fist on Ksppel's tumble of hit

and scored on Sylvester's sacrifice to

thrown out at fist in neat style. In

tie Hogan again raped the ball to
center field for three bases and score d
on Ksppel's foul fly to Whitehead

Manning struck out and Phillips
made third on Broughton's wild
throw to second. The score, it will be
remembered, was A to 3 in favor Of
Memphis, with one man on third
and Sylvester, good slugger, at the
bat. A hit would have tied the
score, and the home team generally
loses tie games. 0'Leary 81 emed Ia

Sylvester out, and danger Of tie Yves

ninth inning was the most eveDtful q
all. Krehmeyer hit safely for one
base; Phslan sent fly to center field

sent to first in time to out Krehmeyer
who had started for second, mskini
a fine double play. Whitehead

and hopes of more runs began to fade
in the distance. 1t was a lanyard II
a shoestring that the batter would fai
to hit, but it is always the uuexpectst
that happens, and so it was in thi
case, for Whitehead made a drive a
the very next ball delivered to him
and sent it clearly over the right fielt
fence for home Iun, the shouts ant
cheers and waving of hats of the 100
people who vera present accompany
ing him on his triumphsl tour Of tn
bases. The usual collection was made
and $64 35 was the players reward 70

third on passed ball, an,
scored on O'Leary's single to RICH
