Murray's men batted Petty yesterday
afternoon for nine singles, four doubles
and q three base hit. Savannah made
ouIrsevcn hits off Darby, and at the end
of fine ninth inning the score stood II to
Gin favor of Atlanta.
It was an off day for the home team
and especially so for Petty. He did not
show up in his usual style, and after the
Windy City players began pounding the
ball all over the field he played in list
less way. 1t was simply a ease of the un--
pxpected that will happen now and then
in base bail games. The crowd that went
out to witness the game was sure that
savannah would capture another scalp,
but it was sadly disappointed.
Hurley made some beautiful stops be-
hind the bat and was loudly applauded
during the game for his excellent work
Atlantas heavy batting was the feature,
though.
savannah opened up in SPLENDID style,
and put everybody in a good humor. But
a ball game is just like swapping horses.
Youcan't tell how youare coming out until
YOU get through swapping. So it was
Yesterday, While all was serene and
clear for Savannah up to the second half
of the fifth inning, the remaining innings
made up a sad story for the Dead Rab-
bits.

half of the inning a goose egg was
charged up.
