to Finish and Very little to Kick

To-day.
It was only fair-sized crowd that saw
Savannah defeat New Orleans yesterday
in one OF the prettiest games ever played
in savannah. Umpire Kelly was on
hand and Campau had no cause to kick
The game was full of brilliant plays and
excitement ran high From the drop Of
the rag in the first inning until the last
man was out it was nip and tuck and
neither side could claim the game with
any certainty.
The home team played a fine game in
the field with the exception of two wild
throws of McClOskey's, each of which
uetted 4 run Clarke played all around
lett field and hit the ball, too. Peoples
took everything that came his way
auc some mat didn't, while McCaun and
Larocque took good care of their territory
PEPPERS GOOD WORK.
Pepper was in the box for the home
team and proved to be hot STUFF. He only
allowed five hits, two of which We're
scratches, and 1ielded his position finely.
The fielding of the visitors was somewhat
ragged They made six errors and had
il not been for the splendid game Baker
pitched the score would have been much
larger.
Savannah scored two runs in the first
inning on Clarke being hit by pitcher,
Mccain s base on balls and Larocque'shit

in the fourth inning Savannah added
one more run to the score on Larocque's
hit TO right field, McClOskey's sacrifice
and Dukes safe hit to third. Neither side
scored again until the sixth inning, when,
after two men were out, McCloskey got

tired the side. Bowie was up for New
Orleans and fouled out, Campau got his
base on balls. Root hit to Hutchinson, who
threw him out at first. McCloskey re-
turned the ball to Hutchinson, but threw
wild, letting Campau score.

cheered loudly, and made him lift his
cap. Whistler retired the sideon fly to

scratch hit. LarOcque retired the side

seventh or eight inning. but scored one
run in the ninth. Flood was the first
man up in that inning, and he didn't do a
thing, but hit the second ball pitched to
him clear over the left-field fence Two
home runs by the SAME man in one game
was too much, ana as Flood touched the
home plate he was cheered to the echo,
and made to lift his cap. This made
things look rather scary for Savannah, as
New Orleans only needed one run to tie,
but the suspense did not last long, for
Whistler Schabel and Baker retired in
one two, three order,
