SAVANNAH IS VICTORIOUS.
The Orange and Purple Goes Down
Before the Maroon and White.

Trenohard's Touchdown and Hipkins'
Goal Gives Savannah the Game by
a Score of g to 4-Smith and Math-
ewson Play Well for the Visitors,
but ''Kid'' Trenchard Found the
Weak Points in Their Rush Line.
Walker Made Pretty Run, but
the Game Was over, and it Didn't
Count-The Weather All Right, but
the Crowd Was Hard to Handle.
Savannah's athletic glory has never
faded, and yesterday a new laurel was
added to her crown. when, at the close of
the foot ball game, the maroon and white
waved triumphantly over the orange aud
purple of the Augusta Athletic Associa-
ton, and the 'Rah 20 "Rah - 'Rah % of
the Forest City boys was heard over and
above all of the dozen or more yells that
went up as soon as time was called, and
the score was announced to in Savan-
nah's favor.
The day was a beautiful one for the
game, and, in fact, could not have been
better. The rain, however, of the night
before left the grounds in rather soggy
and muddy condition, which put the run
ners to no little disadvantage. In other
respects, however, everything was in
good shape, and there was no reason, so
far as the grounds and weather were con-
cerned, why the game should not be
good one.
AUGUSTA ON THE GROUND.
The Augusta team, accompanied by.
Messrs. Loris Morgan, J. r. Potts, A. b.
Eve, David File ming, Ogie Eve, of the Au-
gusta Chronicle, John Cohen, Henry
Brown. Devaga Cohen, Will Craig, Will
Alexander, the Misses Mularky and Miss
Mulherin, arrived in the city shortly after
where they had lunch before preparing to
go to the grounds.
There was a number of Augusta men in
the city during the day, and the Electric
city mustered quite large lung club to
assist in the yelling programme at
the grounds. Augustus yell reads some
thing like this: 'Hobble gobble, razzle
dazzle, els Boom! ALI Augusta, Au-
gusta Rahl Rah Rahl" and was put
up by the visitors in a very melodious
manner, especially when their team scored
a slight gain or made pretty play
THE CROWD HARD TO HANDLE.
There were other attractions during the
afternoon, but they interfered little with
the crowd at the football game. Had it
been the only event, there might have
been one or two hundred more spectators,
but as it was the boys were we'll satisfied
with the results. There were between
1900 and 1900 people in the grand stands
and carriages, and it seemed as if there
were about 500 more on the field, espec-
tally when Officers Reilly and Neve
tried to keep them behind the ropes
and give the players chance
as well as the spectators in the grand
stands. The officers had great difficulty
in keeping the enthusiastic youths off the
fields-especially when a pretty play was
made-and they wanted to get in hand
shake and yell for their favorite play
ers. They crowded the lines of the grid
iron, and at times were so thick around
the goals that the playing was consider
ably INSTRUCTED.
There was very little betting on the
game, and what there was of it was
about even money. Savannah expected
to win the game, and it was with no little
confidence that the Augusta men lined up
on the field. Everything considered at
the start, there were no odds either way.
THE OPPOSING TEAMS.
The men lined up as follows, the game
being called at 1920 D. m:
