Atlanta, Ga, May Savannah wal
loped Atlanta on her home grounds to-

Base Ball Matinee.

Base Ball Matinee.
About $50 people, large number of
them ladies, attended Ebbs' base ball matt
nee atthe theater yesterday afternoon and
watched with intense interest the black
board telegraphic game between Savan-
nah and Atlanta. The majority of the
audience went to the matinee with the
expectation of seeing the locals wiped up,
because they were on Atlanta own stamp
ing ground, and when the first inning was
wired, announcing the score to against
Manning's men, everybody thought the
game was lost to Savannah.
A few minutes after however, when
our boys began knocking home runs and
hammering Dewald all over the field, the
spirits of the people went up, and with
the conclusion of the game every play
made by Savannah was vigorously APP
plauded.

Of the poe around SO as to bring him
within reach, but he called to us:
STEADY, menl Keep your heads. Kneel
down with your breasts across the po lie
and move it away slowly up the bank.
There! That's the wayl Corporal, you
go down the bank and be ready with the
rope. Easy now! That's the wayi'
We had him within six feet of the bank,
though his head was five or six feet below
it, when there was swapping and a
splintering, and the pole broke at q knot.
Everybody cried out, and at the same in
slant the corporal flung his moose. 1t was
just one chance IN a thousand, but lt.won-
IL fell over the officers head and
shoulders, frightened under mis- arms and,
though he dropped twenty feet, we pulled
him up minute later with no further
injuries than q Few bruises received by
coming in contact with the rocks. For
three or four minutes he lay in a faint,
and his face was as white as snow, but
then he pulled himself together, sat up
and looked around him and gently said:
Come. men, get the tents up and
dinner going, ind / guess III have a
smoke before we begin work on the bridge
again.
His nerve and the corporal's lucky
throw had saved him from q terrible
death, but within week his iron gray
hair was no longer iron gray. 1t was al
most as white as his face had been when
he lay grasping and trembling on the
edge of the bank with the moose still
about him.
