THERE was no game in the Southern
League yesterday, because OF rain
Atlanta, Savannah, Chattanooga and
Macon.
THE Eclipse colored baseball club,
with Renfroe in the box, won another
game at New Orleans Sunday bya
score Of s TOT.
THE fielding OF Shea in Saturdays
game with Atlanta has seldom, il ever,
been equaled. Eight put-outs for
left fielder Is certainly breaking the
record.
"PAPA," said very young woman,
"when a young gentleman throws a
kiss 10 young lady, what should che
do?" "Muff IL, eplied the old man.
In a match game of BASEBALL between
the Links aud Oaledoe, colored, Sun-
day, the former were victorious by
score of II to 3. Mr.. Ed Larkin UNI
PRED, and gave satisfaction.
ATLANTA has secured the services
OF George schaffer, the famous fielder
OF the Athletics. He has splendid
batting and fielding record aud 1t must
have taken big money to get him. Luz
cas-, of ST. Louis, wanted him, but his
terms were too high.
A GAME of baseball was played Sun
day between two mines, Captained, re-
speCtively, by Ozanne and Williams.
The former was winner by score OF
IA to s. Bitteries For victors, st.
John and Adams; for vanqushed,
Mcnamara aud Denny.

UMPIRE WIN. THOMAS is not a fault
leas umpire, but at least gives good
reasons for his decisions. The other
day, after two men were ont in the
game between the Aliens and the
Taylors, Richards made a safe hit.
"Out," promptly shouted the umpire.
"What made you call me outP" said
the irate player when the side came
in from the field. "Well, my brother
was tired of pitching, that's Why"
was the answer. 1t was accepted as
satisfactory.
PAPA tCHADwICK very sensibly re-
marks: at is astonishing how the
'groundliugs' in an audience are
tickled with home runs, no matter
how made. They think them the per-
lection OF batting, yet If the crowd
would only consider moment they
would regard this style OF hitting as a
great waste Of physical strength in
match, each home run requiring 10
Yards dash in sprint running at
twelve or fifteen-seconds pace sup
pose the first batsman in each inning
Of a game leads of with a home rum
and the next three are put ou', nine
runs are thereby ored at the cost OF
running 100 yards at top speed
niue times. Suppose, on the o,her
hand, that the first batsman in each
inning leads of with a short hit
which easily earns him first base, and
is then sent home by two sacrifice
hits and another base hit, each inning.
Just as many runs would bS scored
without halfthe waste Of strength, aud
pretty fielding would be seen, In the
place Of the felders standing still
while one man run after a long mt
ball. Home ran sl1ggjng is a marked
feature Of weak play at the bat, and
