ning Game From Augusta.

. close and Exciting Contest in Which
savannah Game Out Ahead in the
r,d-Quarlds Pitched His Sixth Con-
saoutive Game-Three Costly Errors
Came Very Near Giving the Game to
the visitors.
savannah won a game from Augusta
yesterday in spite of several very costly
orrors and one on decision on the part of
+laumpire. Umpire Ford was very much
o+f in calliug for balls fouls, and in calling
strikes balls. and vice versa His de-
,fsjons were at times against the home
team and at other times against the visi-
Tors. but the home boys suffered the more
by his misiudgments.
The game. while not characterized by
apy very brilliant playing, was one that
held the grand stand and bleaChers spell
hound All the while the fans were look
ing for their favorites to make squirt
and win the game, and that is what made
things exciting. Augusta had made two
runs up to the eighth inning, and Savan-
nah mad not yet crossed the home plate.
That was a very dark blue color for Man
ning's men and their admirers, who had
come out to see Savannah down the
Fountain City. But it came around all
right at the last inning.
AN AUsPICIoUs START.
The game opened up in way that made
every one feel good. Manning got a base
nit on the second ball sent in by the
nitcher. but he did not get any further,
as the next three men at the bat went
ont in the one, two, three order. Some
thing like one out, two out, three out,
went on for good while; in fact, all was
p blank for the Rabbits up to the
seventh inning. Goose egg after goose
epp was being charged up and it was
only by the greatest exertion that
groans were suppressed by the fans.
Was Savannah to lose game, after
downing such players as Baird brought
here from Macon 1t looked for long
time as if she would
Augustus first man at the bat got in a
three Dagger over Georges head and the
beachers never smiled again until the
eighth inning. Some said that George
should have caught the sky sCraper, but
Billy can't pull down stars out of his
reach, neither can he catch atiy that is
away beyond his hands. White followed
with a single and Everett made run.
A UGUsTA's SECOND RUN.
In the third Augusta scored again.
Everett got out at first White made
base nit. Dooley hit to Quarles, who tried

second, and nobody was put out on that
play. White came in on Hoover's gr0under
TO short.
The next four innings netted no runs
for the Fountain City.
In the eighth Savannah set the crowd
wild by making three runs. 1t was all
done in this way, Manning got a safe
hit, George did the same. Klusman got
to first on an error. There was no one
out and the bases were full. Angus
ia had two runs, and Savan-
nah had none. Everyone silently
agreed to hold his breath for half a min
ute, and just as our shoe-shine mascot
yelled out Too late, Augusta" Burns
made base hit to deep center and Man
ming and George trotted in home. Burns
came home on Connaughton's long fly to
right This was enough for one inning,
and the side went out.
TIED THE SCORE.
Augusta made a run in her half tying
the score. Dooley flied out. Hoover got
a safe hit. Stallilgs went to first on err
