Boys Really Eucaered Out OF the
Game by Umpire DaVies-7hsy
Batted Eighteen Hits - McGarr'5
Home Run the Feature of the Game.
Savannah to Play in Augusta Today.
Savannah and Cleveland played g tie
game yesterday afternoon after struggling
for nine innings without either side having
much advantage as far as batting or fielding
was concerned. An unfortunate error ard
stupid base running at q critical period, for
which the rachers are to blame, lost the
game for the home team.
The game was replere with fine plays
from beginning to end, which electrified the
spectators. The batting was clean and
! heavy, Savannah making twelve hits with
a total OF eighteen bases, and Cleveland
eleven with total of fourteen. The chief
features of the game were a one-hand stop
of hot liner by Mexican, a similar one by
Manning, jumping catch OF long fly by
Burkett in left, McGarr's home run hit,
fielding and general batting. and Nichols
great work in center. where he made several
| splendid catches.
In the first inning neither side scored.
| In Cleveland's half OF the second Ewing
! opened for Cleveland with three-bs Int
| to left and scored on q single TO right. In
| Savannah's half Of the third Petty went
| first to the bat and hit to short but went out
at first. Nichoil was up next and was soon
disposed Of from second to first.
NGARR's GREAT HIT.
| Then McGarr stepped to the plate and
the crowd on the oleachers yelled: Put il
over the fence, Mae" He did not dis
| appoint them. After fouing the ball sew
eral times he knocked the ball over the
house outside the left field fence and walked
around the bases amid the widest kind OF
applause from the 1000 spectators Man
ming ended the game with fly TO loft.
Cleveland again forged ahead in her half
! Of the fourth. Mexican opened with a hit
to first but went out Petty thought it best
to give Ewing four bad balls than let him
hit it, and he took first. Virtue followed
with a two-bagger TO right aud Buck
crossed the home-plate amid groans from
the bleachers. Virtue was doubled up by
Nicholl and Connaughton on the throw-ln
Of McAleers fly.
In Savannah's half Of the fifth Hurley
went out from third to first Jamiaon
made hit to right center and came home
on Petty's 3,baser to left, which secured
storm Of applause for our pitcher. At this
point, through lack of Judgment on the
part Of the coachers, Savannah lost run.
THE BLUNDER WHICH LOST THE GAME.
Nicholl sent long hy to right, on which
Petty should have scored, but the c achers
pulled HIM off the line before the ball was
caught, and when he touched the base and
started for home Cbilds had the ball and
threw it to Gunner at the plate, thus pre-
venting him scoriug what would have been
tie winning run.
McGarr was hit with the ball, and took
first, and few moments later Petty was
! thrown out at the plate Cleveland went
| out in one, two, three order IN her half OF
this inning.
Savannah scored two more in the sixth on
heavy HIS by hluRmar and Connaug hton,
an error by Chiids and q hit by Jamison.
Mexican onsned for Cleveland with hit
to McGarr, who fumbled the bal! and
allowed the runner to reach first. Ewing
followed with hit, advancing him to sec.
| cud. Virtue made hit to right and bic
| hean and Ewing scored. HcAleer advanced
| Virtue q base on a sacrifice and TebeGu sent
| him TO third on another sacrifice.
TWO-BAGGER AT THE WRONG TIME.
thinner was tae next man VI, and he
sent the frat ball pitched TO left for two
| bases aud Virtue crossed the rubber. Cuppv
| took Touug's turn at the bat and went out
from short to first, leaving Iimmer on
| third, where he went on wild pitch by
| PeUty. Cleveland Yves now one ahead aid
| the spirits OF the spectators began to droop.
1t looked like another 5-4 ga ae.
This ended the run-getting till the ninth,
! when Hurley opened for the home team
with a base hit. Jamison reached first on
an error 10y short, Petty famed the atmos-
phere three times and sat down, but Nichou
| followed with single to center,
and Hurley scored amid a storm
of applause. The score was tied and the
| audience seemed to be on the verge Of in
sanity with applause. Hold 'em down,
Petty. Hold 'em down. DON'T give them
any runs now and you'll lick 'em in the
tenth" was the cry that went up from
dozens OF Threats.
THE GAME CALLED.
For Cleveland, Childs led off with hit,
but was forced out at second by Burkett.
| no stole second. Mexican flied to center
and Ewing did likewise to first, leaving
! Burkett on base.
20, we're in it to-day, >" shouted the boys.
Another inning VIII settle Cleveland
Tho inning. however, did not come. Tho
audience did not move, but shouted, play
| bel"
Umpire Davies called out: Ladies and
gentlemen, | must cali the game as tue
Clevelands have to catch the train for
Charleston"
Rats" yelled the youngsters. You're
outpiayed and you're afraid to try anQ her
inning. The game ought TO go to Savan-
nab"
The boys were right, too The Savan-
nehs did outplay tho Clovelands all around,
and despite the bad coaching referred TO
above would have won tao game if Umpire
Davies had not made two very unfair de-
cisions in Cleveland's favor.
TWO DECISIONS WHICH BEAT OUR BOYS.
Manning double-played Cleveandite Mt
first, aud, although klusman met the run
ner with the ball. Davies deliberately called
him safe. In the next inning n exactly
similar p ay was made at Savannah's run
ner, who got to the bag before the boil, but
Davies. with unmitigated gall called him
ous. It is needless to say lie received
thorough roasting.
Probably the finest catch ever made on
any diamond was one made by Hurley in
the seventh. 4 foul fly was knocked. and
in running after it, he fell 10 tue mass Of
plauks in front Of the grand stand, bu5 sue
ceeded in turning on his side in time to
catch the ball. IL was magnificent play.
which more than made up for the bad error
/ Of the biz catcher Monday.
