Two thousand people saw Savannah ad-
minister q fearful drubbtng to the Charles
ton Sea Gulls yesterday afternoon at the
ball park. The day wGs almost perfect for
ball playing, and the Savsnnahs played the
game for all it was worth from start to
finish, defeating the visitors by a score of &c
to 4, outplayiDg them at every point.
Meakim, our star, pitched four innings
for Savannah, holding the visitors down TO
one hit and one run. Jameson relieved him
IN the fifth, and did well except In the sixth,
when he allowed three singles and scratch
hit by Sugden and double by Ladd, which
netted three runs. These, with one in the
fourth, were all the runs the visitors got.
Meakim, although he has a sore arm. and
was in no condition to pitch, did fine work
and showed that he is capable OF doing his
share of the box work when his arm comes
around. He and Petty are first-class twirl~
ers, and with another good man Savannah
will be as strong. in pitchers. as any team
in theleague. 1t 10 hoped Jameson will get
in his old shape in short while.
NICHOLAS EXCELLENT PLAYING.
Nichols batting, fielding and base run
ming was something wonderful. He went
TO bat six times and made six hits, five
singles and triple. He also stole five bases
and covered center superbly.
In the eighth, after KilIeen bad got first
on an error Ladd sent short fly to right
center which Nichou caught after hard
run and completed q beautiful double play
20 first, which was greeted with loud APP
plsuse.
Hurley's work behind the bat was also
good, and he betted as well as he felded,
making two singles and double out of five
times az the bat.
Manning's overland stop of base hit to
right in the sixth was also a fine piece Of
work and merited the hearty applause that
was accorded him.
McGarr, on third, outdid himself, making
pickups and throws that set the bleachers
wild.
Taken as a whole, Savannah put up a
good game in the field, Cross misplays be-
ing excusahle, he has what is known in
base ball nomen clature as "Charlie horse"
in his right leg, and his fielding and base
running are greatly impaired thereby.
HEAVY BATTING or THE LOCALS.
The game started we'll, Savannah making
one in the 6rst. In the second and third
how ever, the locals got on to Gayle and
batted out fourteen Of their twenty-six
runs in these two innings, making the score
Is to 0. They added two more in the third,
four in the fifth, one in the eighth and
four In the NINTH three Of which were
earned.
The Charlestons did not score till the
fourth inning, when, with base on balls,
a hit by Gayle and SINGLE Carney crossed
the rubber. They scored three runs in the
sixth, one Of them being earned After
this not one of them reached third bass, so
sharp was the field work of the home team.
Carney retired from the game in the
seventh, Killeen going to right and Nc
Carthy to first.
Killeen started In to umpire balls and
strikes aud Petty doing the honors on the
bases, but there was so much kicking against
his decisions that be retired. Petty umpired
the remainder of the game alone He gave
general satisfaction, although there was
some objection raised by a few of the
visitors.
The official score tells of the flight Of the
Sea Gulls and their tale Of woe:
SAVANNAH.
