Yesterdays Game One of Heavy Bat

the Ball Over the Fence for Home
Run and fs Responsible for Seven Of
the Other Runs - Jamison Slightly
Wild in the Box but Good at the
Battle Saved Savannah From a
Shut Out.
Baltimores Indians scalped Savannah's
ball team a second time yesterday afternoon
before an audience of l 900 people. The
score was 10 to l in eight innings Jami
sons wildness Ia the first three innings and
the heavy batting of the Baltimore's de-
feated Savannah.
The game, however, was an interesting
one, with several brilliant plays by the
Savannahiaus and nobody regretted having
| attended 1t. Jamison's wildness can be put
down to overanxiety to defeat the big In-
dams. He is a good pitcher and by the
time the league season opens there will be
no reason for complaint against him.
Connsughton, who has already provek
himself excellent in any position on the
diamond. caught we'll and batted in style.
Stovey did the work for Baltimore, his bat
ting alone netting eight runs.
Schmidt OF Baltimore umpired the game
in such manner as to cause protest from
the audience several times, and a steady
fire of disapproval from the irrepressible
small boys, who, from patriotic motives,
wanted the home team to win. Schmidt
undoubtedly made several glaring errors in

left bad impression on the minds Of many
OF the local cranks.
PILED RUNS AT THE START.
In the first inning Jamison filed the bases
on balls, with the result that Baltimore
scored three runs.
Schaffer made a pretty hit in the second
inning, but he only got as far as third, where
he was left TO witness his partners strike
out. Hurley made fine double play in the
| second inning, throwing out Indians at
third and second, and preventing a score by
Baltimore.
In the third the Baltimores scored one,
but their great work. or rather Stovey's
| great work, was accomplished in the fourth
inning. The first two Indians made base
| hits aud the next two were struck out.
Stovey stepped up carelessly, apparently
| not expecting to do much, but the first ball
| pitched by Jamison was an enticing drop.
| The long left fielder gave it a whsck and a
moment later the ball was circiing over
| toward the fence behind third base. Nearly
half 8 dozen Savannah men ran for 10, but
| their work was in vain, for the ball kept
going until it dropped in the street outside.
| 1t was the first home run knocked on Sa-
Vannah's diamond for a long time, and the
| crowd cheered loudly until Stovey had to
bow acknowledgements. This hit piled uI
triplets for Baltimore.
| ONE ONLY RUN.
The salvation for Savannah against 9
| second shut out came in the fifth inning.
| Hurley got his base on balls and Jamison
made a two-bagger, which brought in
| Hurley. Jamison, however, did not get
| further than third. Savannah's pitcher
| was given an ovation for his two Dagger
| equal to that accorded Stovey for the home
run, The Baltimores scored their last runs
in the sixth, when they made three as a
| result Of Stovey's two-bagger into left field
while the bases we're filed.
| Treadway followed with a long fly to
right field, which Meakim caught while lying
on his back across the ditch, where he had
| fallen in running backward for the ball
| He got to his feet in time to throw the ball
| to third to catch Stovey. Meakim's catch
was an unusually difficult one, and his re-
covery IN time to put Stovey out at third

worthy of the tremendous applause &C.
| corded him.
| 1t was in this inning that Schmidt gave
| his worst decision. Clark had two strikes
against him and three balls had been called.
| He struck at the next ball with such force
as to cause himself to swing around, but
| Schmidt deliberately called -four balls y
| The howl of Indignation which went ur
| from the audience brought back to memory
the old days of 49,
WANTED SCHMIDT FIRED.
| The small boy Justify demanded that
| laughed at the people About two minutes
| later McGarr caught Clark mapping of
second and touched him with the ball hail
/ a foot away from the bag, but Schmidtz
! would not call bis brother Indian out.
| chow can Savannah win, " shouted boy
| from the bleachers, vivid ten against nine
| Call de game jimmy In the laugh which
| followed the boys outburst the spectators
| forgot their wrath.
| All OF Savannah's fielders played good
| ball, aud If it had not been for the streak OF
luck which seemed to be behind Stovey every
( time he picked up the bat the game would
have been close and pretty, about 2 to l.
| Nobody has any right to feel disappoint-
ment about Savannah's two defeats by
| Baltimore. The games were good, and
Mauning's team is all right and will be on
| top in the Southern League. The more
patronage bestowed, the greater will be the
encouragement to the boys to play fine ball.
| Another big crowd ought to attend the last
| game Of the series to-day. Manning will
make desperate effort to pluck victory
| from defeat.
