Rases-Ans Easy Victory for the
CharfestOnians - Chattanooga, Mem

Games.
The CharlestOns defeated the home club
yesterday 8 10 1. There was a suspicion
among the spectators in the grand stand
in the early part of the game that the Sa-
vannahs were not playing ball. The yisi-
tors presented Warner and McVey. The
! locals put up Moriarity and Sullivan.
There was a fair attendance at the
game. The grand stands were both pretty
well filled, and fully one-half of the
benches outside were occupied. The
betting was altogether on the home club.
! The Charlestons' failure TO hit Mori-
aritY in the first game, and the ease
with which Warner was batted on Satur-
day gave the Savannahs' hackers conf
dence.
The Sayannahs led off at the bat. Ho-
taling bit a grOunder to Gardner. VINO
threw low to first, and the baseman let the
ball pass. HOtaling went 10 third and
scored on hit by Collins. This was the
only run the home club made. The first
man at the bat for Charleston nit the ball
SAFE and scored on a hit, making an earned
run. Moriarity was not effective and
yielded three hits in the first inning.
In the second inning he pitched wild aud
sullivan had difficulty in holding him. In
the third inning two men were gwen
bases on errors. and Sullivan was cred
tied with two passed balls. In the fourth
inning Moriarity yielded three hits and
the Chariestons scored their second run.
1t was evident that Sullivan could not
hold his reckless delivery, and in the fifth
inning StOckwell was put in and
Sullivan went into the field. Mo-
riarity at once changed his delivery
and pitched steadily, though without
speed, the rest of the game. la the sixth
Inning the visitors batted him for four
runs. At the end of the eighth inning he
had yielded total of eighteen bases,
three OF which were on errors, and had
struck out but one man. The crowd was
disguised. MOriarIty's only excuse for
his. his bad, bad playing was tnat he
that he was not playing ball.
1t is certain that he lost the game. The
splendid work OF the field kept down the
score to Sruns. 1t might have been twice
that number. Warner was HIT freely,
but the home batsmen failed TO drive the
ball safe. tie struck out but one man.
The visitors played magnificent fielding
game. GARDENERS wild throw to first base
was the only error scored against them.
Gilman's work in the centre field was su-
perb.
The home clubs fielding was one
of the features OF the game. Il.
Moriarity and StOckwell made two
of the prettiest catches in right and left
field that have been seen on the grounds.
Had it not been for Moriarity's wild work
In the box Savannah would have won the
game. He is responsible for the defeat.
Sullivan played at a disadvantage. His
failure to hold Moriarlty was not his fault.
The best bacl1stop that ever played could
not have held him. Sullivan's throwing to
second base is superb. All that he needs
is few days practice with the club. He
will probably receive O'Day's delivery
to-day. The following is the score Of
the game:
