| Savannah was again defeated by Charles
ton yesterday in a close and exciting game.
4 The score was ; to 2. The Savannahs
| played a better fielding game than the
! visitors, but they only made five scattering
hits, while the visitors got eight, four Of
them punched in tho sixth inning. The
field work at times was sharp and clean.
Savannah made but three errors, none OF
which cost anything, while the visitors
errors were costly.
The defeat of the home team is due to the
fact that it was unable to bunch its hits OF
Killeen, who pitched strong game. Petty
also did good work but unfortunately, the
hits made Off him came when need d.
The game was played In a drizzling rain,
which made perfect fielding impossible.
AU,
two of his decisions virtually lost the game
for the home team-one Of them la the
third inning, when Cross made third on an
error ny Flaherty aud Hurley attempted to
sacrifice by throwing his bat at wide out
curve and missed il, the ball rolling TO the
grand stand, advancing Cross to second,
which the umpire called foul
ami cent Cross back to first.
This called forth round of Kisses and cries
of Take him out" Cross, il he had been
on third, would have scored, and probably
this would have had q material effect on
the result. Savannah scored in the frat
inning on q base on balls to Manning and
two errors.

Savannah, although she had men on
bases IN almost every inning after the first,
was unable to score except in the eighth.

ming went to tho bat and knocked hot
liner to right that looked good for two

got it.
Iu the seventh there were two men on
bases and hit meant two runs, but no oae
