HEAVY BATTING WINS.
SAVANNAH DEFEATS THE CHAT
TANOOGAs % to 4.

Eight Innings Enough for the visit
ors-Their Pitcher Batted Out of
the Box Before the Game is Half
Over-The Home Team and At
lanta in the Lead in the First
Weeks Games.
The Southern League games Yesterday
changed the order of things somewhat in
the league race. Augusta, who won TWO
games from Nashville, was defeated by a
score OF Ii to 6. Memphis turned the Ia
bles on Macon. Atlanta again defeated
Charleston, aud Savannah wound up
Chattanooga p to 4 in eight innings. The
result OF yesterdays games puts savan-
nah and Atlanta in the lead, with Augusta
and Macon second, and Nashville and
Memphis third. Charleston and Chatta-
n0oga are at the bottom OF the list.
Savannah leads both in batting and
fielding, and is the only club that has
played an errOrless game. The druDbing
she gave Chattanooga yesterday does
away with the misgIvings that Savannah
is weak in batting. Kent, Cnattauooga's
pitcher, was pounded for % base hits,
with a total OF 30, and was driven out OF

his place. and pitched for TWO innings,
during which Savannah scored five
times. In the seventh inning Kent
went back into the box, but
was unable to control the ball, and was
batted for four successive runs. The
game ended with the eighth inning, the
score standing - to 4 in favor of the
home team.
The crowd was about the same as on
Friday. The threatening weather kept
many away. The wind swept over the
held, piling up the sand IN drifts and
binding the players. In the fourth in
ming ii began to sprinkle, and for a time
1t looked as though the game would have
to he called before the fifth inning was
played. When Savannah went to the bat
at the beginning Of the inning
it darkened up, and everyone thought
the rain would BEGIN before
the inning could be finished. The home
team was in the lead and saw that tcould
afford to lose the inning rather thar that
the game should be called, and played in-
differently, batting out and dropping out
at bases to close the inning as soon as
possible. Chattanooga went to the bat
determined to hold the game, but was
quickly retired without a man reaching
first base.
In the sixth inning it began to rain and
the game was called, but was resumed
before the half hour limit had elapsed and
was PLAYED through to the end of the
eighth inning.
1t was a complete walk over for the
home team. ~Savannah's terrific batting
and superb fielding paralyzed the visitors
from the start. Field and O'Day led the
batting, the two making a total Of six
teen bases. O'Day made three sin
gle base hits, one twO-bagger and
two three-baggers. MOriarity pitched
effectively, and was strongly supported
by Mclaughlin, who played without an
wards the end of the game. In the
seventh inning Chattanooga scored two
runs on errors, saving her even a more
disastrous defeat than which she suffered.
The following is the score:
