Baltimore 5. Savannah O.
This tells the story Of Savsnnah's scalp
ing yesterday afternoon by the big Indians
of the Monumental city, but Manning's
men showed up splendidly, and Savannah
need have no fears about failing to have
standing away up in the Southern League
at the close of the season.
They are not supposed to be chased with
the teams Of the National League. but by
their work in the games with Pittsburg and
Baltimore the local ball tosssrs show that
the classification line is not Of very large
dimensions.
Between !, 200 and /. 800 people witnessed
the game. The new bleaching boards were
packed, the old grand stand was filed as
much as comfort would allow, over 100
people occupied seats in the new unfinished
grand stand, hundreds stood ar ound In the
open space about the diamond and at least
$50 viewed the contest from the fence and
house tops overlooking the park, the latter,
OF course, getting out of paying an admis-
sion fee.
PEOPLE PLEASED.
Every body was pleased with the work of
the home team, and the plays which mer~
tied it were given applause. Petty and
Hurley were the battery for Savannah and
Schmidt aud Robinson for Baltimore Petty
was little wild in the first stages of the
game, and be Is, In measure, responsible
for the Baltimores making as high score
as they did, on account Of giving number
of men bases on balls. After the third
inning, however, be recovered himself and
pitched splendidly. the balance of the team
backing him up we'll IN fielding. Hurley
caught well. but he was slightly OF in
throwing TO second.
Schmidt pitched great game for Balti-
more, holding Savannah down TO four hits,
but the Indians who did the great work
we're Treadwsy, O'Rourke and Reitz. They
handled the bat equally as well, their name
sakes ply the scalping knife, and they run
bases like savages getting away from gov
ernment troops.
THE COACHING FEATURE.
Conuaughton's coaching for Savannah
and O'Rourke's for Baltimore were inter
esting features. Taken as a whole the game
was well worth seeing and the home CLUB
deserves equally as much and more patron
age at to-day's game as was accorded yes
terday. Every admirer of the
game in Savannah ought to go
out to the park this afternoon
and by their presence encourage the boys.
One great advantage which our team pos
sesses, and was clearly demonstrated yester-
day, is that every man is cool, and nothing
can rattle them. The Indians tried several
times TO accomplish "rhttling," but they
signally failed.
Savannah went to the bat first. Nicholl
sent the first ball high in the air to center.
but Kelly. after long run, gathered it in.
McGarr went out on strikes, and Manning
followed suit a moment later by knocking a
slow grounder 20 the pitchers box, which
Schmidt threw to first in time to head him.
THE INDIANS START OFF WELL.
In Baltimore's first Petty gave McGrau
his base on balls and Reitz hit TO Petty, who
threw to first only to see Kleussman muff
the ball and let Reitz make his base. On
passed ball by Hurley McGrau advanced to
third, and a moment later Stovey hit safe
TO right field, bringing in both MoGrau and
Reitz thus giving Baltimore two runs. The
| next three Indians weRt out in short order,
Treadway on hot liner to Petty, O'Rourke
by foul to Hurley and Brown on a slow
ball to Petty.
In the second inning KIeussmau hit to
third and got to first on Browns tumble,
Connaughton went out to Schmidt on
grounder which reached first ahead of him.
kleussmau stole seconds and third and
Curtis sent a skyvscraper to center which
Kelly captured. Schaffer followed with a
splendid hit 10 left field which every
body thought would bring in Kleussman,
but Treadway sent the ball to the home
plate just in the nick OF time to catch him
as he was about to place his foot on the
stone. 10 was a great throw-one seldom
equalled on any diamond.
THE CIPHER INNINGS.
Baltimore got the goose in her half of
| this inning. Kelly was retired on hit to
short which Mc9arr captured In time TO
throw him out Rs first, and Schmidt was
| struck out by Petty in five pitches. Rob
| inson hit safe to center and got to second as
result of Hurley's bad throw, but he
stayed there as McGrau was caught out by
Kleussman at first. The ball was very
warm" liner, and Kleusman's catch was a
| good one.
Savannah was retired in one, two, three
order in the third inning. Hurley flied out
to Kelly in center, Petty fouled 80
O'Rourke and Ntoholl struck out.
The Indians got in their work in great
style In their half of the third
to right field, and Stovey followed
with a fly, which Schaffer gath
cred in. Treadway then stepped up to the
| plate and landed the first pitched ball into
right field for two bags, bringing in Reitz,
o'RoURKH's Two-BAGGER.
O'Rourke next dropped the ball far out
| In center for two more bags and Tread way
| scored. Brown was given his base on
balls, advancing O'Rourke to third. Kelly
| flied out to Nicholl, and Schmidt got first
on balls. This filed the bases and 1t looked
as il Baltimore was good for a few more
| runs when Robinson retired his side by
| driving the bali into Petty's hands.
| In the fourth inning McGarr hit a
| grounder to third which Reitz landed at
| first in time to catch him. Manning hit
between the plate and first, but Schmidt by
a QUICK run got the ball and headed him
| off, and Kleussman flied out to Brown.
Reitz was struck by Petty as soon as he
came to the bat, and Of course took bis
base. Kelly tried the sacrifice act, but
! Hurley was too quick for the Indian and got
the ball to first ahead of him. Stovey
! was retired on strikes in three pitched balls
which won great applause for Petty, and
| Treadway was caught at first on a short hit
| between bases
Connaughton hit safe for Savannah in
! the fifth, but it Melted nothing. Curtis
struck a low fly between first and second
which Mcdrau caught and double playe
on Connaughton SchatfeT retired on fly
| 10 Reitz.
WHERE PETTY SHOWED UP.
The fifth inning brought out Pettys
work splendidly. O'Rourke knocked fly to
left field and he stopped running, supposing
| Schaffer would get It, but the latter muffed
