CAMPAU KICKS And QUITS.
Didn't Like The UmpiTe'S Decision and
Called His Men OH the Field.

First-class- Game Up to the Ninth
Inning, When the Trouble Occurred.
The Score Was 2 to in Favor of
the Visitors-Some Good Work Done
by Both Teams.
A little kicking on the part of New Or
leans, that seemed useless and entirely
unnecessary, spoiled what promised to be
one of the best games that has been
played on the Savannah diamond this
season.
The game had progressed well yester-
day afternoon up to the ninth inning, and
IL looked at the beginning of that inning
as If Savannah was going to stretch
point and at least tie the score.
Campau, however, misinterpreted it
seems, one of the umpires decisions, and
instead of accepting an explanation,
which would have been the proper course,
he Indignantly refused to finish the game,
called his men of the field, and announced
fatty that he would protest the game
before the league
Campan was given just five minutes to
put his men back in their places, but he
Jailed TO make use of the opportunity and
the game went by default to Savannah By
the usual score in such cases OF 9 to 0.
HOW TIE GAME WAS PLAYED.
The first innings of the game were played
well on all sides. The boys were well re-
ceived after their tour, although they
did not bring back as many laurels as
Savannahians would like to have seen
That, however, was in part forgiven and
forgotten when they got down to work
There were about 800 people in the grand
stand and on the bleachers, the latter
having the larger crowd and the better
lung club.
Manager McCloskeys men were in
frst-class condition, with the exception of
Hutchinson. who was suffering from
wrenched ankle and was at a decided dis
advantage. Peoples was back in his old
position after months rest and was in
good trim. Hill played with the team
for the first time and showed up excep-
tionally we'll
Campau's men were all in first-class
condition and eager for the fray. The
time for the game was drawing near, but
Mclaughlin, the league umpire, had not
shown up. AS the umpire is a most i'm
portant adjunct, it was impracticable to
proceed without him. The management
determined not TO let delay prey upon the
spectators, and Mr.. George Armstrong
was asked to act in the capacity of UNI
pire He consented, and the game was
called at o'clock, the usual hour.
The first two innings were uneventful
The umpire had one or two little argu-
ments about strikes and fouls, but the
crowd was not in the humor for kicking,
and it was choked off. Braun pitched Il
good game from the start, but the bleacher
crowd WAS in guying humor, and gave
him frequent jabs. The delightful
sobriquet of lager flew at Schabel in al
most as rapid succession as did the ball
from the pitchers hand but it didn't
phaze him.
NEW ORLEANS DRAWS FIRST BLOOD.
In the third Savannah soon yielded the
ms to New Orleans. Clarke was thrown
out at first, Mccain took his base on
balls, Hutchinson few out to center field,
and Larocque hit to short and died nobly
trying to catch his bag.
Here's where Campau's molasses
eaters got in their work Schabel walked
to first rubbing an apparently bruised
shoulder; Braun lodged o ball. perhaps
he had TO do it, and perhaps he did it for
convenience, but strike was called
which put him out; Mcclellan hit a
safe to center for second base, which
brought Schabel in Halter followed, hit
TO Hutchinson whose wild throw to first
let Mcclellan in and left Halter on third
then Eoat struck out and Flood followed.
The fourth and fifth innings were I'M
eyentful. The "Giye a hit" and Chop
It, Mae which came from the bleachers,
seemed to inspire Manager McCloskey.
but it couldn't bewitch the ball, and
Macs men, as well as the visitors were
down in these two innings without
score.
y very pretty double play was made in
the fifth. Campau hit a hard ball to La
ROGUE, who threw Dowie out to Peoples
on second, and Peoples put the ball in
Pepper 5 hands in time 10 prevent Cam
pau from making first.
sAvANNAH's ONE RUN.
Savannah's only run was scored in the
sixth. Mccain hit to left field for two
bases. Hutchinson went out-at first, and
when Larocque struck out it looked as if
the Jig were up, at least for that inning.
But Pepper came in with a base hit
while Mccain scored, and Pepper was
put out trying to steal second.
Whistler came in with u little tune for
New Orleans in the sixth, in the shape of
a good safe hit but there were two outs.
and Schabel's fly to short kind o. took the
wind out of his instrument.
Campau made one of the prettiest run
ming catches chat has been seen on the
Savannah field in some time, when in tho
seventh ne caughta foul from McCloskcy's
but that was about 10 fail on the edge of
the fence Otherwise the seventh was
uneyentful.
In the eighth the Toys told Mccain it
would be case of walk, but he few out
to right fielder. Larocque was on third
and Pepper IN second when McCloskey
hit to third and went out at first. Roat
struck out for New Orleans, and Flood
did likewise, When Whistler's fly was
caught by Jantzen and all hands were
ready for the ninth inning.
WHERE SAVANNAH WON THE GAME.
There had been little snap to the game
up TO the min h inning. All hands played
well and errors were scarce, but the game
did not seem 10 move on with the usual
ease and rapidly Jantzen went to
the bat, was hit by Braun
and took his base, Peoples came to the
bat with the crowd on the bleachers veil
ing Cor hit. The lung club was getting
in its work and wanted to see Savannah
bring up its score. Peoples hit grounder
Just inside the line between second and
first. Whistler picked IL up, but hest
tated moment while Peoples was MAX
ing for the bag. Peoples lodged under
Whistler and slid to the base. Umpire
Armstrong motionod TO Peoples to hold
his base and Hill had picked up
his bat When Campau saw that
Peoples was to retain his base he
called his men from the field
ana announced that he would play no
more.
