With People-How the Game Was
Won and Lost-McCloskey' Men
Showed Up Well But Fate Was
Against Them-The Game To-day.
As early as O'Clock yesterday, a crowd
began gathering about the Screven to see
the base ball parade. The Charleston
Savannah team drove up in carriages.
The players were in uniform and made a
splendid appearance. They were greeted
by the band playing "Dixie." In a few
minutes the Charleston men came down
in uniform, and as soon as they could be
gotten into carriages, the procession
started There have been few carriage
plrades here which looked prettier. The
drive was through the principal streets,
an out to the park. BY 2:30 o'clock every
car to the grounds was crowded, and long
before time for the game to begin
the grand stand and bleachers were
filled, At + o'clock, when the game was
called, not only was every seat in the
grand stand and bleachers taken, but
crowds were in carriages and standing on
the ground between the vehicles and in
the space between the grand stand and
bleachers.

The game was played with the wind
blowing half gale. and the Charleston
team owes its victory, to great extent, to
this fact. A ball team never PLAYED in
such luck as Savannah did. Every time
it succeeded, with the assistance of the
wind, in getting a ball over the fence the
bases would be full, Notwithstanding the
result of the game. Every one was
pleased with the home team.
