II,
nobodys game-Charleston and Savan-
nah break even on their second series,
each having won game, the one played
This afternoon being called at the end of
,be eighth inning, with the score stand
inc tot. 1t was game Of incidents
and many ups and downs, and it was
watched by one of the largest audi
ences which has assem- bied at the
mark this season. Ladies were espec-
jally numerous, Every seat was taken
and standing room was at a premium.
The unusual audience was attributable to
two facts this being the last game on the
home grounds for some time to come, and
secondly, the tight race which the Savan-
nah team is giving the Charleston men
for the pennant
CHARLESTON CRIPPLED.
The Savannah men looked as neat and
clipper as ever as they limbered up their
arms before the game began, while
Charleston sent out, scientifically speak
ing, a rather ragged nine to do battle
with them Behne and Hill having been
released the day before, Beard
had to divide up the men left
him as best he could Mcfarland
held the box, Klopf went to third,
Knox snapped the right for the left gar
den and Stahner followed him out be-
yond first base. 1t was critical time
for important changes, the talent
said, and so the talent kept
its money in its inside pocket.
While Savannah's practice was
marked by almost perfect playing, the
home team gave but a poor exhibition
before play was called. But the old
proverb about good beginning and bad
ending got in some good work before the
game was over. The grounds were lit
tie slippery, but not enough so to mar the
game, while the good effects of the morn
ing showers were felt in a delightful tenn
perature. When Beard went to the bat
il the third, Mr. Passailaigue, on behalf
of the managers of the team, went out on
the diamond and presented him with a
handsome gold ring.

he had TO leave the ground. By mutual
consent Hill took his place Hill
