NOTES OF THE GAINES.
Gossip Picked Up Here and There
From the Dia monds.

FROM the O1a mOnQS.
Ted Sullivan wept bitterly when Joanes
drove the ball over the fence in Macon
Wednesday, but he smiled again yester-
day when the Colts won and jumped to
fourth place
Memphis turned the tables on Mobile.
The fans" were more than satisfied with
the home club yesterday.
The Pehcans' wings are clipped this
week. Nashville is considerable distance
from the gulf, so they had better stretch
their necks and make home run.
Pittsburg is not fulfilling expectations,
and the people in that city are much cast
down by the showing made.
For New York to win the opening game
with Boston was too much glory, and the
bean eaters turned them down on the
second day. The Giants, however, turned
over in great shape in the third game.
The attendance at the Boston games
away from home is unprecedented in the
history of the league, and the triumvirs
are very happy.
Nothing is heard nowadays Of Shorty"
Fuller, the fine little shortstop of the
New York team. yale" Murphy has
done 50 well that Fuller has no chance to
play.
Boston evidently isn't as sanguiue of
winning the penuant as it was at the be-
ginning of the season. Talk is already
rife at the Hub about Strengthening the
team. Bannon, who has proved weak at
the bat may give way to COnnaughtOn in
right field. MIR J. B. Billings, of the
"triumvirate," has intimated that he
would like to secure Tiernan from New
York.
The kicking was knocked out of the
Bostons Tuesday when the Giants went
off on a regular cyclone tear at the Polo
grounds and piled up 16 runs against for
the champions,
as there doctor here2" cried Capt
Ward the other day when a foul ball
split "Snappy jack Doyle's finger One
hundred and eleven physicians stood up
in the grand stand Ward picked out
one and gave him the case, while the
others sat down and began to root for the
Bostons
bill" Brown has been released by the
Louisvilles for inability to hit. Weaver
will take his place at first base,
Duke needs some salt; Pepper will not
save him.
"Ah! Balls Balls! he amt no good"
"FIit tree gulls in de inning pshaw;"
Take him out :" They won't bring him
back :" LET him Join Coxeys army and
play ball with kelley were a few of the
comments made upon the savannah Duke
at the pool room yesterday.
Clarke and Mccain earned their salary
yesterday; so did Pepper, but they were
handicapped by Duke.
1t was chilly crowd that watched the
first five innings as they were marked up
on the bulletin boards yesterday after
noon. They warmed q little when Pepper
was put in the box, for he sifted out red
hot stuff over the plate. The dessert was
greatly enjoyed, but it did not last long
enough the substantials had been served
and were rather heavy to digest comfort
ably
There was an interesting game yester
day between the McGintys and the sec
ond class of the high school The Nc
Gintys in this instance did not, like the
McGinty in the ballad, go to the bottom
of the sea, " but came out on top by
score of Is to 10. Jubiiant over this vic
tory the namesalles of Mr. McGinty are
now anxious to again plunge into battle
and to await with impatience challenge
from any team composed Of boys under
II years of age.
Savannah lost yesterdays game to
Charleston through the failure Of Pitcher
luke to lind the proper line over the
plate In other words it was the same
old story. Bases on balls and hitting
batters. After the fourth inning his
Dukeship was replaced by Pepper, who
pitched a fair game, but Charleston had
TOO long lead. in fact the Sea Gulls
we're on the home stretch.
Siebel led of for Charleston and took
his base son balls. Klopf hunted to Duke
who threw him out at first, Siebel going
to second. Beard hit grounder to cam !
who fumbled and Beard went to first.
Polhemus hit to short who threw Beard
out at second. Siebel going to third
and Polhemus to first Polhemus stole |
second and Siebel scored on the pla y.
