70 - Both Teams Play Strong
c,ames-The Macon Team to Play
savannah To-day.
There was great ball yesterday after
noon. Chattanooga and the home team,
oftor two DAYS of bad weather, managed
~ strike q good day, and two games were
nlayed. Chattanooga scOoped the first
game by a score of Z to 8, and Savannah
evened things in great style by doing up
the visitors in the second game to the
tune of 9 to 4.
savannah had the first game won until
the eighth inning, when the visitors piled
m four runs. Chattanooga was hardly
in it on the second contest.
In the two games there were a number
oil good plays made, and the fans thorough
ly enjoyed it.
Ouarles distinguished himself by his
splendid catching, Notwithstanding the
fact that his wild throw to first in the
eighth inning of the first game cOntribu-
ted in no little degree to Savannah's
defeat.
QUARLES' FINE WORK.
Handsome Billy, of red cap fame, occu-
MED the box for eighteen consecutive in
nings, and in the entire time allowed
only thirteen hits, His work in the sec
ond game was even better than it was in
the first, and had there been third game
he would have been ready to go on pitch
ING. George covered himself with glory
nv knocking home run over the left
field fence in the first game. He got to
first ten times in the eighteen innings,
and scored five runs. COnnaughton, who
plaved at short in the first, did great work.
lie had several chances, and accepted all
of them, not an error being charged
AGAINST him. COMFY is as good at short
as he is behind the bat, and that is saying
a great deal Tor his short stop work.
Nicholl, in the second game did good
work at short Klusman and NichOl had
on their batting clothes and pounded the
ball in every direction. .5-.-
Altogether it was great ball. While
Savannah should have had both games,
Mannings men are content to call things
even.
THE GRAND STAND IN FURRY.
In the first game the Dead Rabbits put
the grand stand and bleachers in hutter
by making a run III the first inning, and
holding Chattanooga down to diet of
goose eggs until the fourth But the
complexion of this was changed later on,
as the score tells.
Manning opened up with base hit.
George got to first on an error of the
second baseman. Klusman flied out, Burns
doing the same Manning scored on
Burns's fly Nicholl hit to short, out at
first. Chattanooga failed to score in the
first three innings.
In the fourth, Savannah got in another
run Nicholl took his base on balls, and
made two beautiful steals. The way he
purloined third bag was enough to make
a midnight marauder blush. COnnaughton
struck to pitcher and died at first. Holo-
han pushed long fly into right field,
which was captured, but Nick scored on
the throw in. Quarles retired the side
by getting out at first
wEARIED OF GOOSE EGGS.
Chattanooga had wearied of goose eggs,
and began making runs in this
inning. Mcclellan reached first on four
balls. Walsh fouled out. Abbey
struck for two bases to right, Mcclellan
making third. Setback hit to pitcher
and Mcclellan started for the home plate.
QuarleS threw wild to catcher and Nc
Clellan and Abbey scored, while Setback
went to first. Setback came in on Ryan
safe rap to right field
In the fifth George sent the ball in the
air and it appeared to the left fielder to
ne only an ordinary Hy, but George had
knocked all the flies OFF the covering and
the sphere went sailing over the left field
fence. Chattanooga started in on goose
eggs again, and kept it up until the eighth.
Savannah got a blank in the sixth, but
brought another man across the plate in
the seventh, making the score to 3. AT
ter two were out, Nicholl hit a two-bagger
and scored on Connaughtons single.

TO HolOhan, who fumbled. Stephens got
his base on balls, and filled the bases.
Ryan and Flaherty crossed the plate on
McClellan's fly to George, who barely
managed to get his hands on the ball.
The score was to 4, and Manning's
men got move on them in the ninth, but
not enough to win. Manning made first
