Game Full Of Brilliant Plays Ends
In Victory for Savannah by a
score Of 8 to A Triple Play That
brought the Grand Stand Speota-
+ors to Their Feet-How the Game
Was Played.
The last game of the Augusta series
ord probably the last game of profess
sional base ball that will be played in
savannah this season, was won by the
savannah team yesterday. The score
was to4, Augusta holding the four spot
AGAIN and the Dead Rabbits scooping it
in with an eight.
The visitors saw very plainly from the
start that they were not in it, nor were
they ever to be in it, and it was not long
before the game degenerated into mon
sev-show as far as Stallings' men were
concerned.
There was a big crowd to bid farewell
TO the boys. and to witness brilliant
game. The crowd was disappointed If it
expected anything like a close contest,
INIT it could not grumble as the home
team PLAYED wen and won with hands
down The visitors were simply no
match for Manning's men. They
could not touch Quarles and lost probably
the last game that they will play this
year.
THE FEATURES OF THE GAME.
There were several features that are
worth mentioning A triple play, a
rarity. and one that is always brilliant
and calls for prolonged applause, was
made by Savannah in the first inning. 1t
was in this way. Everett got to first on
a safe hit and was advanced to second by
White, who went to the initial bag on
four balls Dooley went to the bat and
knocked a grounder to Quarles. In less
time than it takes to tell it Quarles threw
to third catching Everett, Holohan
threw to Manning, putting White
out at second. Manning threw
TO Klusman before DOOley
could reach first. 1t was as neat and
complete a triple play as has ever been
made and was done with such precision
and lightning-like rapidity as to call
forth loud applause. 1t was by far the
star play of the season on the home
grounds.
A GAME WORTH SEEING.
Although the team made four errors,
they played great ball. NichOA was at
short, as smiling as any basket of chips,
and played his position perfectly, accept
ing every one of the seven chances
offered. George got five flies in center and
froze to every one Of them, besides bat
ting heavily. ConnaUghton was at
the catcher's stand and made some
beautiful stops, and his sliding TO third
on a stolen base was big grand stand
play Jerry Hurley made a fine catch in
right. Manager Manning had strictly
forbidden the donating Of any more bou-
quets, so Jerry was only cheered. Ever
EFT and DoOley did the bestplaying for the
visitors, while Hoover immortaliZed him
self by making two doubles successfully.
Everett is quite clown, as well as good
ball player, and amused the audience by
his way. In the eighth inning Blackburn
got mad because the umpire would not
call balls strikes" and gaves way to
Everett, who did great credit to himself
by his maneuvers in the box
THE HOME TEAMS RUNS.
In the first inning Savannah scored on
two bases on balls and q single. In the
second they made three more runs on two
singles, two bases on balls and an error.
Three errors and a base hit Melted two
more runs in the third, and the score was
increased one in the fourth and one more
in the seventh.
The visitors got a base hit in the third,
making a run on wild pitch and two
errors. In the second a double, two
errors by the home team, single and a
wild pitch gave Augusta two more runs
and in the eighth Everett got his base on
balls and scored on Hoover's double.
Quarles' pitching was, as usual, excel
lent
