SAVANNAH IN HARD LUCK.

SAVANNAH IN HARD LUCK.
Fourth Inning-Jantzen hit hard for
two bases, to deep center field, but unfor-
tunately was thrown out at second base
This was tough lines after he had made
such desperate slide. Cain made a
neat, safe hit to center field, and reached
first without any extra speed. Mccain
put dead easy one to Ollie Beard at
short, who dropped the ball to his second
baseman, who in return drove it to first
base for double play, retiring the Savan-
nah'S. Beard hit safe to center field, and
by display of his sprinting ability
reached first base in plenty of time Pol
hemus attempted to bunt. 1t went foul
and Umpire Conley called it a strike Then
Polly thought better of it, and hit q
long one to McCloskey at right field who
did not Judge it correctly, Beard going
to third base, and Polhemus landing high
and dry on first base. Sieble hit between
second base and center field. On throw
to second base TO cut off Polhemus, La
ROGUE muffed the ball, and Beard scored
Cain got little wild, and a short passed
ball, five feet out of Jantzens reach, al
lowed Polhemus to reach third base and
Seible second. Wentz hit long fly to
left field which Clarke took in out of the
weather, Polhemus scoring, and Seible
going to third base. Behne succeeded in
getting one over the left field fence for a
homer" bringing in Seible and adding one
to his score. Hill hit to third
base, Hutchinson took it in cleverly
and by line drive to his "Tub-ship'
put the ex-umpire out. Blackburn hit
nice easy little fly to Hutchinson at third
base and retired his side
Sixth Inning-McCloskey hit hot one
past the pitcher, who did not care to take
any chances in handling it, and Mac
landed safely on first base, although
Charleston made another kick be-
cause the ball happened to get
to first base fully thirty seconds
after McCloskey had crossed the
bag. 1t was only mild kick, however,
and did not create any sensation. Clarke
hit high fly to third base, which Behne
captured. Peoples hit a red-hot grouuder
to center field for two bases, sent McClos-
key to third base Jantzen went out on
fly to Behne at third base. Cain, out on
strikes.
For the Tillmanites- Seible, strange to
say, made safe bunt and reached first
base. On the return of the ball Cain, in
attempting to catch Seible mapping, threw
over Walsh's head, Seible going 10 second
base. WentZ then drove a hard, long
grounder to left field, scoring Seible and
going to second base. Behne hit a hot
grounder pass third base and got his base
Wentz going to third base. Hill nit fly
TO right field which McCloskey caught
Wentz scoring Blackburn sent a short
fly out to McCann at center field
and took his seat. Klopp then
drove one past second base, advancing
Behne to second base, and going to first
base himself. 'Jocko" Fields made the
cleanest home run of the game by hitting
the ball fully four feet above the left
field fence, bringing in Hill and Klopp
Beard popped up one for Clarke at left
field, and threw down his bat, disguised.
THE LUCKY SEVENTH.
Seventh Inning-McCann got his first
base on balls. Hutchinson hit fly to
center field and was called out. Welch
hit past the redoubtable Ollie at
short stop, Mccain going to third base
and Tub to second base, and in his
third base, forcing Mccain TO make a
dash for the home plate, when really
Jack did not have ghost of show,
consequently Mccain was put out fully
five feet from the plate, Tub" going to
third. 1t was bad play and apparently
Cap worked the wrong signs on him
self. Larocque hit safe past second base,
scoring WEIGH, and getting first base,
McCloskeY lifted one to left field, and
retired the side. Pepper was then put in
the box for Savannah and started on
rather wild. Polhemus hit past Peoples,
at short field, and got first. Sieble was
given his base on balls. Wentz succeeded
in making a safe bunt and reached first
base, advancing both Polhemus and Sic
BILE. Bases full. Behne was hit by
pitcher, scoring Polhemus. Hill hit a
grounder to Larocque at second base,
who held the ball lon genough to touch out
Behne, and then got it to WEIGH, at first
base in time to put out Hill, making an
easy double play. Blackburn again sent
one away up in the atmosphere toward
center field, and gracefully dropped his
bat and retired.

ond base, and Wentz held
the ball and put out Peppers, WEIGH then
! hit three Dagger, scoring Hutchinson ;
| Larocquc hit to right field and was put

! II was simply a smuggling contest
! all round. in which Charleston unfortu-
nately was in better luck than our team.
| Neither pitcher was given the support
