Savannah and Augusta played another
great game of ball yesterday, but the Wis
itors won by to l after d hard and excit-
ing struggle Umpire Serad's work in
! the fifth and sixth innings was the cause
of the defeat of the home team. In the
fifth he called Dooley safe at third when
he was caught three feet from the base
| He afterward scored. In the sixth he
gave Shaw his base on balls and he scored
on Stafford's three-base hit. These two
decisions gave Augusta two runs and lost
Savannah the game.
The game was a pitchers battle, and
Petty would have had everything his own
way but for the decisions referred to-

ing out seven men. Shaw yielded hits
and struck out three mon.
Savannah's run was earned, while none
Of the visitors were. The locals made
two errors. Only one of them cost any
thing, however. In the sixth Denny hit
high fly to left, which Burns got under
but as the ball touched his hands the
fielder stepped into hole and fell, and
Denny went to third.
