BATTED OUT OF THE BOX.
THE AUGUSTUS TAKE KINDLY
TO MEALS PITCHING.

! Costly Errors Help the Visitors to Win
The Score II to 2-rhe Young ohiOan
! Breaks Up in the Game and Is Batted
for II Bases-OhaFiestOn and Chatta-
nooga Defeat Macon and Atlanta.
The crowd at the ball grounds yester-
day saw the poorest game probably that
has ever been played here. The Augustus
defeated the home club by a score Of II to
2. There was a suspicion among the
spectators in the grand stand early in the
game that the home club was not playing
ball. This was confirmed later ON at the
end of the third inning, when Neal had
gwen four men bases on balls, had hit
one batsman and had yielded five single
base hits and one double.
The support he had was little better
than his pitching. Eight errors, every
one of them costly, by the field, four
passed balls by Stockwell, four men given
bases on balls, one hit by pitched ball
and two wild pitches ran. up the total err
rors to 10. The singular thing about
NeaPs work is that in the game he
pitched at Augusta but three hits alto
gether were got off him, while yesterday
he was batted for fifteen singles and two
doubles, a total of seventeen bases. -Four
of the seventeen runs that the Augustus
made were earned.
The home club failed TO score up to the
sixth inning, when HOtaling came home
on passed ball. In the seventh inning
Moriarity lifted the ball for three bases
and scored on a hit by. Stockwell. These
were the only runs the Savannahs made.
The Augustus scored in every inning, and
every man In the team crossed the plate.
Neal was virtually batted out Of
innings. He claimed a sore arm, and
pitched n ball that the visitors could not
fail to Init. In the eighth inning, after
four men had crossed the plate, O'Day
went into the box. The Augustus had
two men on bases and only one out. The
next man at the bat reached first on an
error OF Gillen, but was thrown out at
second. The visitors scored on the error.
The next man was put out at first. The
score then stood II to 2, and the Augustus
waived the last inning.
The home club played without vim, and
the game almost went by default. The
visitors had Hollacher in the box, sup
ported by sutcliffe. Hollacher was batted
freely, but the home club failed to drive
the ball safe and got but five hits. MORT
arity in the seventh inning drove the ball
to the right field fence for three bases.
The visitors fielding was good. The in
field had very little to do, but it did it
we'll.
Burns umpiring was not altogether
satisfactory. No one doubts, however,
that his decisions were honestly made,
aud the spectators found the most fault
The game was lacking in brilliant fea-
lures. There was nothing about it par
tlcularly Interesting, except to the back
ers OF the winning club. The following
is the score:

NEGLECT'S FATAL HAND.
THE HIGH DEATH RATE AMONG
THE COLORIGD PEOPLE.

Lack of Medical Attendance and o.
Proper Care OF the Sick the Principal
Causes 49, The Railroads ConsidertnE
Means to Improve the Sanitary oOndi'
tfon OF the COIOred PeOple-Supsrsti'
tions Against Physicians.
The Sanitary Board held meeting yes
ferday and discussed at length the high
death rate of last week among the blacks.
The Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway Company, which employs a
large number of negroes, has made in
quiries of physicians as to the probable
cause of the unusual rate, and what can
be done to stop 1t. If anything can be
done for the improvement Of the sanitary
condition of the colored people, the
management OF the road is ready to give
All the assistance 1t can.
DIR. j. T. Mcfarland, Health Officer Of
the city, stated last night that the increase
in deaths last week cannot be attributed
TO climatic influences or to the water
used. Whites and blacks breathe the
same air and use water out of the same
mains and wells. Thirty-three of
the forty-fve deaths among the col
ored population were children. OF those
a large proportion died without ply
stefan. or % negroes who have died
this month without being attended by
a physician, % were children. Just now
measles are raging among the blacks.
Properly treated the disease is compare
lively harmless. The most OF the blacks,
however, it appears, neglected their chill
dren and gave them scarcely any atten-
ton. Many parents are just as likely to
give their sick children green fruit as
icracKers and milk.
q NOT the TnQaglpG that fatal bTt
the neglect. II is just 10 the better class
OF the colOred population to say that the
death rate in their families is not large,
though greater than amORg7the whites.
There is a considerable floating negro
population, and 1t is among that class
that SO many deaths occur. The very
poor, the thriftless, and the rtf-raf are
the sufferers. The respectable, well-tO-
90 cOlOred people are az healthy as usual
The doctors tell of superstition among
some OF the ignorant negroes against ply
sicians. Not long ago man went to the
health officer for a death certificate. The
doctor inquired il there had been physi-
cIan in attendance. The man replied
that he never had doctor to attend mis-
family and never would have.
One physician yesterday morning had
two calls to attend colOFed children. In
one case be was notified that the child
was dead before he could reach the house,
and in the other case the child died soon
after he arrived there. He had not been
called until it was too late to DO any good.
Another'reason for the high death rate
lamOng the children OF the class to which
attention ia directed is that the sick child
yen are given stale vegetables aud green
fruits, which increase the virulence of
whatever disease they may be suffering
from.

April meeting to consider the question Of
corporal punishment reported through
its chairman, DR.. Read, that the members

bers of the board, however, after the COM
mittee was relieved, discussed the matter
informally. The discussion eventually
led to a resolution abolishIng corporal
punishment, which was passed by vote
of to 3. The subject was very thorough

board making two or three speeches.

Messrs. Read, Saussy, Estill, Tattnall
