From Macon.

The Score Eight to One-McCloskey'
Men Outplayed the Visitors at Every
Point-All the Runs Made in the
First Four Innings-Savannah Now
in First Place.
Yesterdays game was an easy victory
for Savannah, in spite of the fact that
the Macon team played better ball than
it did Saturday. In the first and third
innings it went to pieces very badly, but
the other seven innings were well played.
Hill and Hoover are a crack battery.
Savannah got but six base hits of Hill,
and no two-baggers or home runs.
The Savannah boys put up an Al game.
Twice during the game flies were hit
clean to the fence, one going to right
field and one to left. Each time Macon
had man on first, but the ball was so
well felded that the Savannah men did
not even let the runner reach second base.
One of the best plays made was by
Hoover Macon's catcher. A high foul
was hit; Hoover ran after it, and Just as
he got under the ball he tripped and
fell over the players bench, but he caught
the ball as he was falling and put out the
batter.
