rss Game Called at the Beginning of
The seventh Inning on Account of
p,in-The Score TO o-The Home
raam scores in Every Inning Except
The First-Petty to Face The Allan
tans To-day.
Oyarles struck out five men, allowed
nrt three hits and did not give a single
man base on balls in yesterdays game
,,-i+b Atlanta. The visitors were clearly
o,tnlayad, the home team winning by a
s,ore of to 0. The game was called at
tbe end of the sixth inning on account of
rain.
The afternoon was not the best for
plaviuc. The game opened amid wind
and binding clouds of dust; while the
rain clouds lowered overhead. Some
thought that the windy team had brought
the wind to win the game, but the wind
didn't win. Others were possessed
of the idea that as opposites at
tract, the clouds had come because
the grand stand was so fair-the ladies
being out In numbers. But whatever the
reason, it is a fact that the elements
made up a feature of p the game. How
loud and how long Atlanta players prayed
and pleaded for rain is only known to
those who Witnessed their defeat.
GOOD WORK ON BOTH SIDES.
The battery work was good on both
sides. but Quarles easily carried off the
honors with that graceful mOdesty so
characteristic of him. Connaughton' S
support behind the bat was perfect; in
fact the entire team played faultlessly,
not an error being charged against it.
The story of the game is q sad one for
Atlanta, but bright and happy one for
the home team. Mannings men did
nothing in the way of run-getting in the
first inning, but in each successive in
ming scored one run until the rain stop
ped them in their pace. Atlanta failed
to score at all.
In the first inning Manning hit to first
and out, George to pitcher, out at first;
Klusman drove liner over third for two
bases, and Burns retired the side by a
slow ball to first, Atlanta's Ely hit to
third and went out at first. Duffee
struck safe to left, and stole second, but
got no further, as Motz and Conner each
famed out
In the second inning Nicholl got to first
on a tumble of short stop. Cross sacri-
gced, advancing Nicholl to second, Mich
oil went to third on passed ball, Holo-
hon hit a long fly to center which was
caught, but Nicholl managed to score. He
was presented with handsome bouquet
on his return to the players bench. Con-
naughton hit to second, out at first.
In Atlanta's half Murphy got in a base
hit to right, Camp fouled out, Murphy
stole second, Murray hit to first, and out,
Murphy got to third. This was the near
est that Atlanta came to making a run, as
Daily flied out to left.
ANOTHER RUN.
In the third inning Quarles struck out,
Manning got base on balls, stole second,
and on wild throw to second, went to
third. George sent a long fly to left,
which was captured, but Manning came
across the home plate. Klusman
struck to second and got out at first.
Rettgar hit TO pitcher and out. Ely
made safe hit to right. Duffee got out on
hit to first, Ely going to second. Motz

struck to center for one bag and Burns
went to third and scored ON Holohan's iy

by Darby. Connaughton flied out to cen
ter
Connor struck out. Murphy hit a hot
liner between first and second, but Man
ming frOze to it and put the runner out at
first Camp went out on fly to short.
In the fifth inning things were getting
squally. Savannah had the game in her
hands, but the Lightning flashed and the
thunder rolled and the clouds looked like
they soon must burst. Five innings must
be played before it rained. Atlanta was
delaying the game. They wanted rain,
and 1t seemed that they would got it and
be saved from the jaws of defeat. But
the game went on. Quarles got his base
on ball. Manning went out on a fly.
George got base hit, Quarles going TO
third. klusman hit to second and that
baseman fumbled and Quarles trotted in.
Atlanta went to the bat, but was not in
a hurry about playing. The men were
waiting, wishing, hoping, almost praying
Tor the rain that never came
The grand stand, bleachers and every
body were happy The game was safe.
NO down-pOur of rain could wrest the
victory from the Rabbits They were in
luck, however, for in the first half of the
sixth inning the rain came down and the
players came in. About ten minutes
elapsed when the rain ceased. Atlanta
cried play ball, and went at it again, re-
Sultlng IN Savannah making one more run
and the other side nOae
Rain came again and Umpire Ford
called the game.
