ATLANTA PROTESTS.
There is still a good deal of talk about
the Atlanta affair. President Ryan, of
the Atlanta club, when he heard that
Macon was playing here. telegraphed
Secretary Haas that Atlanta protests
against the Macons playing any schedule
games on Savannah grounds.
The Atlanta papers say that the action
OF President Proudfit in ordering the Ma
con team to Savannah to play the coming
series here WAS the sensation in base ball
circles on Monday. The lovers of the
sport in Atlanta thought that the Presi-
dent of the league had done Atlanta a
great injustice in permitting this, and
during the meeting of the Atlanta direc-
tors Monday night a resolution touching
the matter was adopted and will be for
warded to President Proudtit by mail at
once. 1t is possible that when President
Proudft receives the resolutions and
finds out that Atlanta does not want
Macon to play here that he
will withdraw his approval and order
the club back to Macon, but it is not very
likely that he will do anything of this
kind. The Macons are here to play ball,
and what the Atlanta direcror say will
have very little weight with them.
ATLANTA DIDN'T SHOW UP.
There were some who expected to see
some of the Atlanta players with the Ma
| cons, but they were disappointed The
| Macon directors assert that there is not
any foundation whatever for the report as
| published IN the Constitution as to the
Atlanta team being sold to Macon.
| Nothing whatever In the way OF a propo-
sition, or even hint, as to such bar
! gain or sale has been made to them,
| This denial on the part of the Macon
| directors, coupled with that OF President
! Wood, of the Nashville club, about settles
the great sensation that was sprung on
the base ball public with such startling
effect. The way the matter now stands
Macon will play her regular schedule and
the deferred games with Savannah here.
! The Savannahs will then 90 to Nashville
and will play six games there. four of
them in the regular schedule and two of
them tie games which should have been
played off on the home grounds.
PRESENTED BOUQUETS.
| In the forenoon, few hours after their
arrival yesterday, the Macons were pre-
scented at the Marshall House with but
tonhale bouquets, which they wore
through the game. The bouquets were
| presented with the compliments of the
ladies OF Savannah in recognition of the
| gentemanlv conduct and department OF
! the Macon team. Manager Peltz desires
to express his thanks for the flowers, aud
for the compliment paid TO his club. The
! Macon men have always deported them.
selves in a gentemanly manner both on
and off the ball ground while here. and
they have received recognition which
they justly merit.
