o-,-lss' Phenomenal Work in the Box
vr,.s a Sore Arm-The Visitors
,r,5s Only Three Hits-The Home
-ssm Played an Errorless Game,
.,s punched Hits at the Proper
Time.
Macon. the league leading club, went
so,,n again yesterday afternoon before
Wv. ssvannahs. otherwise known as the
nm that will win the pennant of the
so,,nd series if the league continues.
II was most humiliating defeat for
che Central city boys, as the Dead RABBITS
Flowed them not a single run, while the
home team piled up six scores.
Rut the Macon team can play ball
7-,era is no doubt about that. The reason
+bev lost is that Mannings men played
1;l,e cIoclz-work, not making an error, and
o,,r only Billy Quarles held the visitors
dawn to three hits. Boards "babies'
cop1du't find the ball at all, or when
tbav did happen to touch up the leather
'gtared sphere one of Manning's peerless
feTders was right there to pick up gro ind
ars null in flies and throw balls to bases
In their own perfect way.
COULDN'T GET ON TO HIS CURVES.
There was large crowd out to see the
came and when the last man was put out
there was manga sigh heard on the grand
stand. and even among the heartless
bIeachers, at the thought that this might
he the last professional ball game of the
season
1t was the earnest hope of all present
that the league will manage to patch up
nd 90 thrOnph a
season Perhaps after all these hopes
will be realized. At this writing
no one can tell, Notwithstanding
the fact that things look blue, terribly
blue It all depends on the sticking quail
ties of two Charleston and Angus
ia. But all this is told Of elsewhere.
As to yesterdays gameit can be said
that Macon lost simply because its play
ers could not get on to Quarles' curves,
aud because the fielding of the hOme,team
was perfect. The score might have been
closer had not MacOn's pitcher been so
wild at times, especially in the third inn
ING. 1t was then that the locals scored
five runs. The visitors claim that the
umpire was against them, and that that is
why they lost 1t is true that
Serad was at times considerably off on
balls and strikes, but his decisions in this
respect were equally divided between
the two teams, and Macon cannot ascribe
her loss in any way to his decisions.
oUARLEs' WORK PHENOMENAL.
Ouarles' work in the box was phenom-
email, considering the fact that he has
pitched five consecutive games and had
very sore arm. He held the visiting
club down to three hits Clausen did
good work in the box also, with the ex-
ception of his wildness in the third in
ming. He allowed only five hits, with
total of six. Nicholl again
made some brilliant catches, as
did Twitchell also. Beard
got two of the three hits made by his side,
and he did some fine fielding, accepting
ten out of eleven chances, and several of
them were difficult ones. Holihon's one
hand stop of a not grOunder, that seemed
almost out of his reach, was a happy fea-
ture of the game.
ALL GOOSE EGGS FOR MACON.
AS the score will tell, Macon made no
runs at all. 1t was in the third that Sa-
vannah won. Quarles got his base on
balls, Manning did the same, while
George also followed suit. Klusman hit
a fly to center, which was caught. but
Quarles came in on the throw to home.
Burns got four balls, again filling the
bases. Nichols two-bagger brought in
Manning and George Communication
flied out, CHolohan made safe hit and
Nicholl scored. Hurley went out on a
ioul fly
The home team scored again in the
ninth inning Jerry Hurley made a safe
hit to left. Quarles followed suit with a
single to center, and Jerry came in on a
passed ball
